Travel Ready 37 pc First Aid Kit - Perfect For On The Go!
http://pd.gophercentral.com/u/1088/c/186/a/25

March 17, 2010

Greetings...

Happy St. patrick's Day! This is the day where everyone is "a little=

bit Irish". The color green, indulging, or over-indulging in alcohol,=

green beer specifically, shamrocks, etc are also associated with St.
Paddy's day. The Chicago river is always tinted green and since
Flyboy had an overnight in Chicago, he got to see it from the air,
which he hasn't had the chance to see in a while. Enjoy the day,
and be safe!

Every once in a while, a certain news story will give me cause to
not only write about it, but in this case, get mad at the person
in question. I have always been careful not to offend by attacking
or making fun of those with certain disabilities, afflictions or
body sizes...

All bets are off with this one...

The person in question's story has been making the rounds the past
few days and every time I have seen it, I get not only mad, but sick
to my stomach...

This isn't a column about those who are overweight, or suffer from
a disease that causes weight gain, this is a story about a FAT PIG
who is disgraceful and in my opinion, a lousy mother for reasons I
will give you...

Donna Simpson is a 42-year-old pile of blubber who tips the scales
at 600 pounds. You might think I'm already heartless and say, "poor
thing" after hearing how much she weighs. Better wait before saying =

it...

She's not sick, she's not on a diet, she doesn't have a glandular
problem, she WANTS to not only be fat, but get fatter! She wants
to become the fattest woman on record and has a goal of becoming
1,000 pounds!!! I kid you not...

She already has one record. The largest woman to give birth three
years ago when she was a "svelte" 520 pounds. Makes me wonder if
she knew she was pregnant, or if anyone else knew she was pregnant.
I could get really nasty and say what she thought was going to be
a bowel movement turned into a seven pound baby, probably less than
the bowel movement. I could be mean and say that, but I won't.

She wants to get to 1,000 pounds, but claims it isn't easy because
she has to chase her three year old and it keeps her weight down...

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

She wears an XXXXXXXL. I may have added or subtracted an X along
the way, but I don't think I'll get sued...

Shaking my head and smacking it at the same time...

It gets better. To keep her healthy appetite paid for, she runs a
website that people pay for to see her eat and "wash herself". It
pays for her $750.00 weekly grocery bill. She shops while using a
mobility scooter. Not sure if it's because she can't walk too much
or if she doesn't want to burn any excess calories. Yes, that was
sarcastic...

The father of her young daughter has been her partner for seven
years. They met on a dating site for plus-size people. He is a
self-confessed fat lover and weighs 150 pounds. He will not look
at a woman unless she weighs 300 pounds or more. Most women would love =

a guy who doesn't care about howmuch she weighs or gained a few pounds, =

but good chance he has his own issues. I'll assume he and the three year =

old consume 50 bucks worth of food a week. She also has a 14-year-old =

from a previous relationship...

Mzzzz, (ran out of X's) Simpson insists she's healthy and its not
an issue, I can't imagine it won't be an issue down the line. Her
favorite food is Sushi and I'm sure her idea of Sushi is gnawing
on a 1,000 pound Shark. (Not sarcastic, downright mean). She brags
she can eat 70 pieces of Sushi in one sitting. Her favorite thing
is doughnuts although she loves cakes and sweet things...

DUH!!!

As parents, we probably embarass our kids at a rate of a few times
a week, unintentionally most of the times, but can you imagine her
poor children? I wonder lots of things here. How well is she taking
care of her family? How clean is her home considering it doesn't seem
like she wants to burn any calories?

Before you say she needs mental help, (which I wouldn't ordinarilly
argue with), I would say in this case, it's an excuse for not only
bad behavior, but dangerous behavior, disgusting behavior and poor
parental skills. Does she give her kids celery sticks while she's
indulging in a Little Debbie bender? Can you even begin to imagine
how her 14-year-old feels and it's his mental well being I would be
concerned about, not hers. Likewise for the three-year-old, who may
be "OK" right now, but will have a rough time when she enters school.=
..

I'm truly sorry if I offended anyone during this tirade. The disgust
isn't for overweight people, just this one. Makes me wish she'd fly
on Southwest Airlines, she'd have to buy a block of seats and Flyboy's =

profit sharing would increase...

And, because I'm still not done, allow me to apologize to Sea World
for my column a few weeks ago, I was wrong...

Whales obviously CAN be domesticated...
