Why is telling the truth to a fat person called "fat-shaming"?
In a world without shame :Bob : Hey Tim, you’re looking mighty fat these days.Tim : Thanks for pointing that out Bob! I can always count on you to be observant. Pass the biscuits?Bob : Of course Tim, you’re my friend and although I may not agree with your life choices I realize they don’t impact me. I also recognize that the reason I share these thoughts with you is because I sometimes feel afraid of getting fat and I think I know how you should live your life because it makes me feel good about myself.”Tim : Thanks Bob! I’m so glad you’re being honest with me. Being fat is a struggle sometimes and I am well aware of the health risks. I’m glad we live in a world where we can just live our lives and be happy or change things without being shit on all the time by those around us.Bob : Gee whiz! I agree!”In the world we live in :Bob : Hey Tim, putting on some weight I see.Tim : Heh, yeah . . . could you pass the biscuits?Bob : Tim are you sure you want another biscuit?Tim : *a life-long stream of off-hand comments about how fat / gross / lazy he is launches back into his consciouness* . . . yesBob : You know Tim. I am super concerned about your health and well being. Did you know that being obese can cause-”Tim : “STOP. JUST STOP. You self-righteous fuck. Are you a doctor? What? Did you skim a blog on obesity and suddenly you’re qualified to give out health advice? Here’s some fat to chew on, you’re projecting your own insecurities and fears onto me and perpetuating a culture that makes it OK to treat fat people like lazy ugly second class laughing stock citizens. If you REALLY want to be helpful, Bob, become a nutritionist or a doctor or do some ACTUAL research into why obesity rates are on the rise. Or, here’s a wild thought, instead of “telling me it like it is” how about you worry about your OWN DAMN HEALTH?Bob : “But I’m just-”Tim : “Shut your pie hole and pass the biscuits!”
How do u get poison ivy off your mattress?
It is the oil in poison ivy that causes the reaction on our skin, so you have to get rid of the oil on the mattress. You can use a solution of dish soap and very warm water on the mattress. Find a spray bottle and mix up your (1 squirt to a windex sized bottle) solution spray wet (do not saturate) the mattress with the water and soap the use a clean towel or rag and wipe down the surface. Do one section at a time so you know where you have been. The towel will soak up the excess moisture and the oil broken down by the soap. The mattress will dry in a few hours, put a fan blowing on it to dry faster. P.S. Take your towel/rags and the sheets (don't throw them away they are expensive) and wash in hot water and laundry soap.
My friend is fat and she just sat on my bed and broke it what should i do now?
Try to make her feel better. If it is just the slats, you can fix those very cheaply, if it is the frame, a new iron frame will run $10. So tell her it is no big deal, old bed, not her fault.
