Rae's picture reminds me of some movie I saw where a large entity was looking into a space ship where the people inside were tiny.
Why do I gotta be big though? And everyone else tiny? I'm not even characterized as female, just an "entity."
As I remember it - and it might have been in a
Star Trek episode, DS9, TOS, or TNG, where a large, rounded face with large eyes was looking in from the outside. It's impossible to say if what it was, if it was human or if it even had gender.

This just seems like some huge veiled fat joke if I ever heard one, plus I'm not a woman anymore?
Ma'am, no insult was intended. I'm 364 pounds, I'm not going to make fat jokes unless I would include myself.
I mean, all those handicapped people who take up disabled parking spaces, what do these people think, they're cripples or something? I mean, whenever I was in my power wheelchair and would ask an employee (or another customer) of a supermarket or Target to help get something off a top shelf, I'd thank them, explaining clearly I was asking for help because I was too lazy to get up and get it, not because I'm crippled and couldn't stand or walk. Worst thing was nobody ever believed me.
Actually, I could have made some money at it, because one of the guys at the homeless shelter I had to stay at (back in summer 2009), was willing to pay me money to let them borrow my chair. Probably to scam people out of donations. Which reminds ne of another donation story. Two, actually
