Vivian - haha I love it! Thats funny!

Marge - aww, thanks Makin' me blush over here..

I think with the amount of stress going on in my life if that were to happen again I'd totally fight the guy, Just to get some of the pent up aggressive I have out of me!

-Aimee

too funny, vivian

Aimee, you give him a good, hard stare, and say, Hey! You wanna piece a me, tough guy?? (stick out your chest, too)

Hugs Aimee! I know it sucks so much to experience that.. but don't let his ignorance dissuade you from being the person you want to be and living the life you want to live!

I remember being in a similar situation, and it hurts hellishly, unfortunately. But you've got to somehow decide that you are more important than one thoughtless, insensitive, and disrespectful comment - I say "got to", because you deserve to reach your dreams!

I remember at one point thinking - if I decide to direct my life based on what other people think of me - that's gonna suck and it's going to be unfair to me! It's already tough enough to be going through what I'm going through!
Why would I choose to victimize myself and hold myself back in life because of something someone said about me? Isn't it bad enough that they said/did that and I experienced it? Why give their words/deeds so much power that they will dictate how I feel about myself and how I live my life? It's MY life, I decide, NOT them through their opinion of me. I don't have to accept what people dish out to me, I can choose and I deserve to choose.

Way to go on your walk the next day, btw!!! That's the attitude!

This one got me.. I've been lurking as a non registered person for a while, but just had to register today. I was at the grocery store today and a guy was collecting for a youth football league or some such, and when i told him i didn't have any cash on me and maybe on the way out, He called me a fat b-word as I walked away..... well guess who didn't get a donation on the way out. I guess I am doing a bit better though, cuz it didn't make me tear up or get ticked like i normally would, just walked on by.
