I am a woman of substance. I dream in vivid color, but I see the world in infinite shades of grey. I believe that people should be judged, not by the color of their skin -- or the size of their body, but by the content of their character. I believe it takes a lot of character to be a fat person in a thin-centric world and not be bitter, hateful, or broken. I believe that hatred is a sign of a broken person. I believe that whole, unbroken people should not counter hate with hate, that whole, unbroken people should show by example that it is possible to be whole again. I believe in therapy. I believe in constructive anger. I believe in love and kindness, and I do not believe in the Beauty Myth.

I'm a fat woman in a thin-centric world. I'm smart, funny, artistic, multi-lingual, multi-talented, but all anyone sees is my fat. All I used to see is my fat. But I'm done with that. The point is not whether or not anyone else, and I mean anyone else, finds me attractive, the point is whether I find myself attractive. And I find good-hearted, kind, loving, intelligent, caring, and creative people immensely attractive. If you don't agree, it no longer matters to me.

Oh. Well, thanks for the tips. I'll try that.

Hello, Windy Sue. 8u)

Yeah, your new pink shirt is great.

I have an idea why you have trouble with the sound in your videos. You use a laptop computer (Mac, aagggh) as you got rid of your desktop PC. Right? You're using a built-in microphone on that. Hence, when you get farther away from your computer the sound pickup suffers. You need to get a decent external microphone to plug into your laptop. Also, find your volume controls and make sure microphone volume is adjusted for good pickup.

Hi, Ally. :-)

You go girl. Fighting ignorance is quite the undertaking. No? People would rather hold onto the lies they've been told than to hear a few medical facts. Of course to actually listen would make a person not so ignorant. How do manage to be so patient?

You got another one? When did this happen? You might get two more? Little Joey is going to feel so crowded out. Poor baby.
