Similar thing happened to my DH. Work Christmas party, I had a cold and felt like crap but went anyway, met the new sales rep they had just hired. She was looking through a photo album from about 3 or 4 years before. Out loud she asked DH what happened to him. The usual kids, life, an extra 30 pounds. He blew it off, I glared. THEN she went on, again out loud, we really need to get you on a treadmill or something. He didn't respond. I glared harder. THEN she said to me acroos the room, what do you think about this. I said with a very icy stare and cold voice, "he is an adult who is quite capable of taking care of himself and I happen to love my husband very much no matter what." To this day I hate the woman and I jumped for joy when his company let her go.<BR/><BR/>Danielle<BR/>The Colony, TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-43511429131956920562007-04-27T11:39:00.000-05:002007-04-27T11:39:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh - ONLY in the Escoe family!

I'll be the first to admit that I have definitely put on some pounds the last several months. Then, my boyfriend's grandmother actually asked me if I was pregnant! I couldn't believe it; I just started laughing! I told her no, but she didn't believe me. She said, "Are you sure? Would you tell me if you were?". Yes, I would tell you if I was pregnant!!!

I guess with obesity being so prevalant in the States he/she perhaps says that to everybody to shame/encourage them into losing weight? How awfully rude! In the photo's I've seen of you, you don't look fat!<BR/>When I was expecting my twins, the doctor (in a private clinic in Germany) actually complained to me that I was heavier than he, he was a skinny little runt anyway!!! He had professor status but didn't manage to identify that I was expecting twins, even though the nurse next to him when he scanned actually said there is a second head! He said no, that's the child's bottom. As there are a few cases of twins in my family and my husband's, the following week I made myself an appointment at the public hospital and the doc scanned and found twins!!! Needless to say I never went back to the clinic and my children were born 6 weeks later, (4 weeks early). 22 years later, I still never lost all the weight, I have tried! I put on 25 kilos when I was pregnant, just over 50lb I think.<BR/>Sorry to hear your mother had kidney stones, it sounds like an awfully painfull thing to have, I hope she is ok now?<BR/>Take care,<BR/>Love AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-90149638143510176932007-04-26T23:18:00.000-05:002007-04-26T23:18:00.000-05:00Not that it is any better if it's a male or female...Not that it is any better if it's a male or female who said this to you, but I'm dying to know which gender this ridiculous ER tech is. I also find it unbelievable that you get asked that question more than once.
