"Don't you think you should lose some weight?"That's what was just said to me by a client who I was talking to this afternoon, a 80 something with COPD while we were talking about things he could do to stay healthy and be with his lovely wife, who he says is the reason he is still alive. "You're never going to find a girl at your size."
Ignoring the obvious, I replied, "Well, Mr.________, I have lost 40 pounds over the last few months, and am still working on it."
"Well, you're not working on it fast enough! You've still got time to find yourself a wife."
The wife of the patient gently said his first name, trying to let him know that he was being a tad rude. He looked at her, and while distracted (by her and moving his head too fast for the oxygen tube, causing him to jerk a little), I quickly changed the subject, talking about a bill he had received
Yep, I leave for Orlando in like 14 hours, where I will be surrounded by muscle guys and skinny twinks......
sigh....
When is Babaloo getting here so we can order pizza!?!

You're very kind and patient, Taylor, and for that you will have a delightful weekend with Babaloo and the twinks and the pizza. So let it be written, so let it be done.
Yes I agree, I'm glad there are patient people like you in this world. If it were me, the tubes would have been off his face and out the window after the first rude comment!
