If I wanna run around in spandex to go swim with dolphins, or shorts and a tank top, or whatever, I will do so. I will be comfortable. I will enjoy myself. And any problem YOU have with it is ALL YOURS.<br /><br />People shouldn't weigh 400 lbs. It's not good or healthy. But the nearly global insistence that everyone not be 400 lbs is probably 2/3 of the reason why people get fat -- or deadly thin. We all need to stop judging people on their looks and size and let people be.<br /><br />Until then, you (and the likely jerks who will crop up after this, in support of how Shamu nor Moose should be seen in public) can go take your attitude and stuff it in your blow hole.<br /><br />Smooches!Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397412122635951126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-40026018069782954122011-08-19T15:56:30.818-04:002011-08-19T15:56:30.818-04:00Just wonderful, Dr Grumpy.

I hope he remembered to pack all of his hair products!<br /><br />He is at just the right age. I remember teaching 5th grade and I have to say that hair was the least of the problems.<br /><br />Let me say that I taught on the second floor, or a NON A/C building. There were 27-32 children in my room at any given time. If it was 95 outside it was 105 in the classroom.<br /><br />On the second day of school I finally had to say, "What is the purpose of a brush and make-up if you don't shower EVERY DAY! If you all don't start showering daily, and using "PIT STICK" every morning, I will stop showering and wearing it and you can see how it smells in here!"<br /><br />That was the last day I dealt with the stench of smelly kids.<br /><br />One former student (she's heading to college this fall); sent me an email last month with a picture of a post-it note on her mirror. She wrote it on the second day of 5th grade (during my rant) and it said, "Miss (insert my name) says to shower and wear PIT STICK every single day!" She has kept it there since the 5th grade to remind her. OMG! I laughed until I cried.<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying the vacation?

One of the first hurdles you have to get through is the "I'm too fat to do that" mindset. "I'm too fat" keeps a lot of folks from doing a lot of things that would be helpful to them. <br /><br />Still, had it been me parading through the park, I would have appreciated maybe a cover up until we got to the area where I would actually need the wetsuit.Feistesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734217215697206526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-90055643995313675722011-08-19T10:14:27.678-04:002011-08-19T10:14:27.678-04:00Beth- they used to, but Anheuser-Busch has sold th...Beth- they used to, but Anheuser-Busch has sold the parks, and took the Clydesdales away.Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-8004763261879232912011-08-19T10:10:36.636-04:002011-08-19T10:10:36.636-04:00"Shamu Rocks!" is awesome.
