A poll - sorta

I had an idea recently, connected to the whole fatness vs fitness dilemma. And I'd like some feedback from my FL if you'd like to.

Those of you who have met me know that I'm fat - and have been since puberty. I'm 170cm (5'7") tall. I weigh about 120kg (265lbs). I'm a classic pear shape, as was my mother and all my female relatives in her line. I know I'm fat. I'm not 'heavy' or 'bigger' or 'blooming' or any of those other euphemisms which, frankly, I find a bit nauseating. Prejudice against fat people, including the often tortuous lengths some go to to avoid even the word is hurtful and annoying. YMMV, of course.

So, if you were to see an advert for exercise classes called "Fat Lady Fit" with a qualifying BMI of over 30, would you be interested - or offended?

Writer's Block: Call Me

We have mobile phones - post paid. Mine costs $49 per month and has $300 credit. John's costs $29 per month and is on the same account as the two phones we have for his Mum and my Dad, also $29 per month; they share their credit total of $87 between them which means that John gets most of it as the other two barely use theirs.

We recently exchanged our home landline for a wireless package (basically a mobile phone in a box which our cordless phones plug into) and got rid of one of the three landlines into our house. The other two landlines are office only so they don't ring in the residential area at all but are there for emergencies if needed.

Covers all the bases methinks.
