Ken's the one who, after I had gained all that weight before my surgery, said to me wistfully, "I remember you when you had a flat stomach." That's him below with his rescue dog Sandy Blue.
Now he just says, "Girrrrrrl, lookin' good, lookin' good." He might only be saying it when I'm walking next to Gisele Bundchen. Which I never am. But he is forgiven. Plus, he's gained weight!You know how I feel about artists, throw them a buck and you make their day.
Don't be cheap; it's ugly.
End of chat.
I believe in supporting artists too.
ReplyDeleteI voted for you! I would have done it sooner but have spent the last 24 hours in bed sick.
Even the title of this post made me laugh. I believe when you go bathing suit or shopping for any important outfit you need a true friend. Someone who can find a way to say "Girl u look fat in those pants" Too cute.
ReplyDeleteNow see I would giv him an extra fin just for telling me the truth.
ReplyDeleteHims too cute! Give him five bucks for me, will ya?
ReplyDeleteI love the buskers around here. On Friday nights when we are out walking with the kids, the kids love to stop and dance to the music, then we always toss some money in the tip jar / hat / whatever they've got. Some nights it's only a buck (if we're short of cash); other times, a fiver. But if you like the music (which I usually do), I think it's unconscionable to just walk on by and not chip in at least a few cents!
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet! You did a good thing! Even after he called you fat back in the day. I would have had him killed.
ReplyDeleteclearly, you are the better person!
Maybe that he commented on your size helped to return the flat tummy. When I had to get a new driver's license a couple of years ago, the DMV bitch didn't believe my (high school) weight on my application. Are you ready -- she actually made me get on the scale and put the actual weight on the license. I have since lost almost 50 lbs. My mother has been telling me to lose weight for years and I paid no attention. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteAloha,

ok. Give him a damn buck. I'll pay you back at BlogHer. And when I say BlogHer I really mean in the bar or at the pool. I don't WANT their damn ticket.
ReplyDelete...I remember ME when I had a flat stomach... AND was HOT. :-(
ReplyDeleteI donate a virtual buck as well :) If you come visit me in NC I'll bump it to $20 :)
ReplyDeleteToo true about not being cheap--I gave generously to a bagpiper just the other day.
ReplyDeleteYour title is quite possible one of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a nice guy even if he is unwilling to lie to you about some things.
