If I was a butterfly,

I think we are looking at a lot of one term "Joes" even at the county level. Who knows tho with the dumb a**es in this county. Look what a fine group we have in the court house at the present time.
Not a one of them will get a vote from me or the family next time around, thats a promise. I approve this message. Don't it just sicken you when you hear that. I think Don Blankenship will spend a Billion Dollars to get Joe Manchin out of office at least he says he will and I for one hope he does.
Tourism for this state bloomed in the late 60' and early 70's and the reason for it was the slogan. Almost Heaven, Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.

Kathy Matea (who knows how to spell that?) is from WV. Is that what you're asking?

I don't think Ace Cub Reporters have that vital "flight or fight" gene. They just disassociate themselves from the beating taking place & mentally take notes for the blockbuster story they'll write about it.

I'll bet that if Joe looks into the fine print of the Americans With Disabilites Act,(which covers people with those mirror tag handi-permits), he might well find something related to harrassment that he could use for leverage in his case.
AW did, after all, attempt to publicly embarrass and disparage his character for parking in the handi-zone.
I'm sure a good lawyer could do something with that.

Anonymous said...

AW can probably find enuf on ol Joe that he shouldn't stir the pot. Assault trumps harrasment every time.

They both should've passed on the opportunity. Assault and harrassment are both massively crass & show no classat all.

You'd think, with all the talk about how obesity has become such an epidemic, they'd quit giving handicap permits to ... overly large people. A little more exercise might go a long way in keeping them from being part of the statistic.

Not only the handicap permits but those little scooters that they have in the stores too. I rarely see anyone with a broken leg or an elderly person using those things. It's always fatty arbuckle and omar the tentmakers wife tooling around on those; filling up the basket with cheese puffs, smoonpies and 12 paks of Pepsi. Seems to me if anyone needs to WALK around the store it'd be them!

hellooooo. I'm one of the 'fatties' that hang the handicap sign on the rear view mirror and then waddle into Walmart and ride in those little carts.
I'd like to challenge any one of those people who think we should walk around more to lose the weight, to let a 200# person climb on their back and try walking more than 50 feet into a walmart. or how about a 50# sack of flour on your chest and see how well you breathe! Oh but thats all my fault that i have those problems!! so, i'm suffering in my own "little" hell, whats it to you that i try to at least LIVE and do what is necessary for daily living?

what about the people who smoked for 20 years and then got lung cancer? Damn those people for expecting any special treatment! THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES!

Being obese is a disease like cancer but people dont think badly of people with cancer, but fat people are being discriminated against. Do you really think anyone besides a sumo wrestler wants to be obese???

My point: Get over it! You are just jealous cause we get better parking spots and get to ride around in those lil carts! Truth is, I'd trade in that parking space to wear a size 12 anyday...

At least the smokers carry around their own oxygen tanks.

ROSE said...

Usually, people who have lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases are receiving some sort of treatment.

Usually, they at least quit smoking. Sometimes, they were never smokers in the first place.

Usually, their disease is hidden away where nobody can see it & isn't an obvious problem until it causes problems that demand treatment.

Are you receiving treatment, Cart-ridin' Momma?

Are you actively watching what you eat, counting fat grams, carbs & calories & participating in an exercise program of some sort, following your doctors orders to drop those unwanted pounds?

How much weight did you gain before you realized you were headed toward riding a cart around WalMart?

Do you smoke?

Maybe that sack of flower is your problem (cart ridin) maybe if you tried pushing back away from all them biscuits you been stuffing your face with you wouldn't be 200# plus overweight. Maybe just maybe if you walked farther then 50 feet a day and got up off that sofa with that bushel basket full of potato chips or that gallon jug of pepsi your so fond of you may just find theres more to do then eat,sleep and watch soap operas.
Not all them oxygen totin lung cancer patients got there by way of cigarettes or tobacco products. Some actually got there by working in factories, fighting in wars so that you can sit on the sofa stuffing your face all day. There was a day when daylight came around that the TV was turned off and the family went out into the fields and worked until dinner time came. Came in grabbed a bite of food to sustain them until the supper meal was served at evening. You never heard of obese people then nor did you hear of kids being obese when they entered kindergarten because all they knew was sit on the couch, stuff their face with french fries and potato chips and drink pepsi until their eyes were swimming. But them days are long gone and the days of the obese cart ridin momma is here. Try walking more and eating less you might just like it

Don't relly understand how people get so fat. Looks like a person would notice something like that. Ain't like it sneaks up on you and all of a sudden your 400 lbs bigger then yesterday.

Anonymous said...

Laziness causes people to not quit eating what/when they should; not quit smoking when they should; and not quit drinking when they should. I'm fat and I smoke and I drink. I should know. Call it a disease if you want, but obesity is a treatable addiction, just like smoking and drinking. It depends on how much effort you put into it. Walking from the first space into the parking lot to the front desk at a store isn't going help at all. Get a cart; lean on it and walk.

ROSE said...

Smoke; don't smoke. Drink; don't drink. Don't overeat; don't be too skinny. Doesn't matter what you do, somebody's going to find something negative to say about it.

I do not know where to begin with this blog today...
Maybe start out with : "If i were a sign, i'd read quite on the set."


obesity & handicap permits... have you ever noticed that the not so good looking tend to put down thier not so perfect peers. It makes them feel better about them selves. Why gripe about the overly large ppl who use the carts to shop with? They do have handicap permits for a reason. Obesity is a disability in its own form. In all honesty it is no difrent then anyone else who uses them. The smoker shouldnt have smoked, the one who ruind their knees from to much foot ball shouldnt have played,.. the list goes on. But it happend just the same way as obesity happens, over time. It is true some dont try to lose weight others do try and fail or try with some or little results. I would think you would be more worried about the older generation still driving than you would be about large men and women using a cart that was put there for any and all with handicaps, big or small.

Rose, i think of you as a more open, rather worldly lady, yet you seem to be one sided on this subject... i feel a comment was made that hit home with you, even though i dont believe it was intened to be pointed in your direction, wich has caused you to be more one sided on this matter.

cart ridin momma i think you should just laugh it up about what you have read here and to continue riding your cart, you never know one day you might be posting your name on here as "i traded in my cart for the size 12 momma", good luck to you in all your endevors.

A lot of things hit home, CandyRed.

I just lost my mom to COPD complicated by obesity (she was 50 lbs overweight). Both diseases a direct result of choices she made. She was 68 & quit smoking 10 years ago. Her mother died of virtually the same thing. She was 64 & quit smoking 15 years before she died. Their life expectancies should have put them well into their 80s. Despite the 22 years separating their deaths, my mom only got 4 more years than hers did. That says a lot, doesn't it? The same deadly diseases, 22 years worth of medical advances, yet only 4 more precious years.

When I was 13, a doctor told my mom (in my presence) that I'd struggle with a weight problem my entire life. That was 26 years ago. My strategy ever since has been to never pass a certain weight. It's a maintenance thing. I gained 85 lbs the first time I was pregnant. By the time I went back to work 3 months later, I was back into my pre-pregnant clothes. Granted, I was too ignorant to know how to care for a newborn & still find time to eat, but still, it's a maintenance thing.

For as long as I can remember, every time I've said anything about my weight (or the width of my butt), the response has always been, "Oh, please! You? You're so skinny!! You don't have to worry about your weight!" ... it's a maintenance thing.

The last time I was at WalMart with my mom, there was an ENORMOUS 30ish woman who waddled in in front of us & scarfed up the last shopping mobile. I'm sure her 200+ extra lbs (her choice, right?) made it hard for her to walk around. She glanced at my short, fat, little mom with her oxygen tank strapped on (her choice, right?) & sped away. I won't even begin to apologize for the fact that I believe my mom was far more deserving of that cart than the other woman. In fact, it infuriates me. That other woman's daughter can be infuriated on her behalf.

My maternal genes suck. I live in fear of all the things I know are lurking inside me, just waiting to put me 6 feet under. Despite all that, I can't manage to quit smoking. Sad, ain't it? It's all about the choices we make, regret and can't unmake. We can, however, maintain. I don't smoke any less, but I don't smoke any more, either. I wish with all my soul that once my mom put on the first 25 extra pounds, she'd have maintained & never met the 26th & beyond.

I promise this will be the last post you hear from me on this subject.
I just wanted to let you know Rose that my Mom died at 55 from copd, diabetes and a whole bunch of things steming mostly from obesity. Her mother before her died at 63 from mostly the same. It sounds like you have your weight problem under control, and I'm happy for you. I dont and I know whats coming, mostly likely at a much earlier age than my mother. Dont feel sorry for me, but let me live my life without ridicule.

I was called names in school for being fat, a day never went by that someone didnt call me by a horrible name some boy had given me in 6th grade. After several years I actually gave up and just acknowledged them when they said it. but after high school, i never heard anyone calling me names anymore. I thought wow, those people have grown up! But no, I see that maturity has just taught those people to say those words at home over the dinner table "guess what a fat cow I saw today!" where thier kids hear it and repeat the cycle at school.

At least I know now that most of em came by it honest.
My Mom taught me to be a tolerant and accepting person who believes that being a good christian is more than showing up for Sunday school.

I understand the cord I struck with you on this subject. I would have thought my Mom was more deserving of that cart, too, most mainly because we like to think as our Mom's as #1, period, no exceptions. And it actually happened to me once, before I had to start ridin carts myself. I didnt blame that other person. I went around the store for over an hour looking until I found my Mom a cart. Its better to look for solutions than just blame others because its the easier thing to do.

The truth is it embarrasses me to ride in carts and hang that placard. I actually pray that I dont see anyone I know when I'm cartin thru Walmart. If I do spot a familiar face, I probably turn 3 shades of red. Most people think just as you do, that I shouldnt be riding around, but I am in a great amount of pain when trying to walk so far. You cant feel my pain and I'm not asking you to understand, because I know you and most others cant. Just as I cant understand how people cant just stop smoking.


The End.

Usually I'm content so sit back and read the posts generated by the varied and original topics Ms. Rose comes up with.
This time, however, I simply can't hold my tongue (or fingers, as the case may be).
"cart ridin mama" your posts have me hearing violins that would do the New York Philharmonic justice. That being said, I simply don't follow your logic.
You see, I'm an alcoholic. During a rare moment of clarity I realized what I'd become and have now been sober for over two years. I was a smoker for over 21 years. During another epiphany I realized that I was heading for a very early death. I haven't had a cigarette for over six months. Yes, I know that's not a long time but I'm trying.
My point is, please don't try and tell me (and apparently lots of others) that there is simply nothing you can do about your condition. If that were true Jared wouldn't be making lots of money doing Subway commercials.
My wise old father had a brilliant but amazingly simple philosophy.
