Well, dear, weetie sugah-dahlin' (have I missed on something sexist and condescending?)

Some men and some women don't like seeing a woman "disappear"--some men, so invested in a woman's appearance, do. There are photos of Sarah from all times of her life. The camera loves her. And in all of those pictures she is both trim and substantial. This is the thinnest she has ever been in public, and it is at a time of great stress in her life.

You assume some personal jealously? You want to get personal about me...well, maybe YOU:RE one of those men who drive their women into anorexia over a panic that they might gain some weight and humiliate you.

A friend of mine became a widow a couple of years back. While their marriage looked pretty good on the outside, she did confess with a few tears that it wasn't all bad. At least he wouldn't be ragging on her about her weight. This woman was not remotely overweight.

How's that for a way to be remembered, eh, menfolks?

That is so typical. My concern is more like a mother who see's her daughter suddenly drop almost 10% of her weigh.

I agree with you that Sarah looks thinner than I've ever seen her. It may well be that she is running and working out more, possibly as a way of combatting stress. Running in particular is a great stress reliever.

Some of us who have been supporting Sarah since the election and prior to the election may be a bit protective of her at times, I'm afraid.

I interpreted your remarks as concern, which I see as a good thing.
