The sad thing is I know you're not joking

I can't even begin to understand why the other 11 would decide the way they did in the first place. If you don't mind, what were the reasons? People must have some very strange decision making processes... or the prosecutor was batting .916 when he made his picks. She doesn't deserve anything other than another heart attack.

Well, its over.

Monday I start as the new Proofer at a Homes and Land Magazine Franchise which handles all of WV and Parts of MD.

BigHorn, Im not for not allowing Healthcare for Obese People. Im for not allowing Healthcare to those who refuse to help themselves.

As for Wiping peoples butts, That wasnt my job. But dont forget, youll be old one day. And unless you have kids that are nice enough to take care of you in your own home, chances are youll be in a bed, with a catheter and sitting on a bed pan, In an understaffed and underpaid Nursing Home. Where you will be ignored and left to suffer in your own excrement. While some Overwieght Fatty, Laughs all the way to the bank.

"While some Overwieght Fatty, Laughs all the way to the bank."

LOL, WTF are you talking about? Granted, getting so big that they can't care for themselves is rediculous, but "laughing all the way to the bank"? You think they go to sleep every night going "oh yeah, I've got it made!"?

Yes.

They live there free of Charge, Three Hots and a Cot. Entertainment albeit bland. Cable TV, A/C, Laundry Services, Help at the Push of a Button. They worry of Nothing except maybe there health.

They make requests for certain foods and if we cant deliver to say, They have filed complaints with State Surveyors. They are nothing but fat ignorant slobs. They take advantage of the system, Ive even seen them verbally degrade my coworkers.

Sorry, but this has irked me for too long. I replied in a State Survey regarding WV Nursing and Rehabiltation Centers, concerning the treatment of Staff by certain residents. Unfortunatley nothing can be done, The Dollar beats the well being of the Comapny's Employees, Meaning, The Company would rather hold a patient/resident than an employee.

This is interesting enough that I think your local news station would run a story on it, if you approached them the right way. They love a moral question/fleecing dilemma.

But, I’d hate to see SOB’s future lifestyle get screwed.

My best friend's wife is the assistant administrator at a nursing home. She made him promise never to put her in one.

Not enough to risk looking "mean" towards a "suffering minority of the population."

Bottom line for wieght loss: Eat less than you burn. Period. Not hard to understand. Not exciting, doesnt sell books. But it works.

Biggest problem in US diet isnt too much carb or too much fat -- really, its just too much. Average serving sizes have skyrocketed in last 20 years. The French eat richer foods on average, but much less quantity than US residents.

I go thru this 20 times a week -- and most everybody i advise on this says "but I dont eat that much...."

I jsut wanna scream by Friday some weeks...
