I was feeling rather surly this morning. Feeling rebellious. Could it be the government takeover of our healthcare system? Nah. I had a dr.'s appt. and didn't want to go. Didn't want to pay hundreds for idle chit chat and a blood test for my thyroid. I decided to take a surly stand. I wondered why everyone had to step on the scale immediately before seeing the doc? Why? Sore throat? Step on the scale. Need stitches? Step on the scale. Broken leg? Hop on.
Nurse "We just need your weight so go on and jump up here on the scale. "
Me "No."
Nurse "Mmmmmmkay."
It is so on.

It felt so awesome!!!
I think you should try it. Especially now, Erin. Just say no.
We should co-author a blog.

There will be no saying no to the scale once Obamacare takes effect. The Government will need to know your weight, if only to call you fat.
Henrietta,
Long time, no snark.
I am fine with being called fat as long as you are called fatter.
I am fine with being called fatter as long as you are called fattest. Times infinity. Plus one.
I win.
Carla, when I stand on the scale, it just says FAT. Whatever. I'm over it.
Henrietta,
I know you are but what am I?
Erin,
I think I would like a scale with words. Or maybe a soothing voice.
Saying things like "You are so thin, smart and getting closer to zero everyday."
Why even weight pregnant moms...maybe the scale could say..good job on growing a human...want to eat some cake? Go ahead....you are hosting an amazing thing....have some chocolate to go with it. Goodness. I cranked close to 2bells with David..it comes off..eventually. Of coures, he craves things now that I craved while pregnant. It's all good. Who else but a mom could have that connection? Celebrate it.....ignore the stupid scale.
With Tims I let them weigh me and write it down but they were not allowed to yap at me about it. It was written on the front of my chart. DO NOT DISCUSS WEIGHT. :)
I was a rebel back then too.
Love it!!!
OH and I do like your idea of a positive talking scale. Better yet one that quotes Scripture and truth! Like "Good morning, precious daughter of the King. Your weight is of no consequence to Him."
LOL. Funny comments!
Carla,
I LUV the idea of a "scripture scale"!
If you made one, I'd buy it!
Love all these comments. You're all hilarious!
