Some people are just naturally thin. You don't have to insult her because she is so thin. I used to be too thin when I was younger, so was my father. My 25 year old son is way too thin. But we don't insult him or mention it. It always catches up to us when we hit 40 or 50 years old. You wouldn't insult a person who is overweight, or would you? When I was in my teens and early twenties I would force myself to eat high fat foods like bacon, sausage, ice cream... to no avail. I was so skinny. I cried because kids made fun of me when I was young. It is very painful to be so thin because everyone makes rude comments.

My daughter is thin, too. She was in line at a church dinner filling her plate up high with food. Yes we eat a lot, but stay thin at that age. A rude heavy set woman asked her "Is this the one day a week when you really eat?" Michelle was so hurt. Sure the woman was jealous, but she didn't have to be rude.

Now that I am 55 I could stand to lose 25 pounds and I dream of the days when I could eat everything in sight and not gain a pound. Now I can look at food and gain weight.

Your little anecdotes aside, Ann's a big girl on the national stage. She probably doesn't need your help.

But hey, thanks for the trip down memory lane on a > year-old thread.
