OMG. Nice. Very nice. Time to move, Robyn. <shaking my head>

Where do people come up with this crap? Vivid sad imaginations. I

can just picture the two bumpkins sitting in the living room in

front of the boob tube having TV dinners on their snack trays

(Hungry Man Dinner for Pop, of course, along with a can of Schlitz)

speculating on why you were losing so much weight.

Maybe they knew someone that was looking for a house and they wanted

first dibs when you did kick the bucket. Lovely, just lovely.

Hi Kathy!

LOL LOL LOL!

The sad part is that Newport Beach is not exactly Dogpatch!

Think 7 figures for the average home!

I guess there are idiots in every neighborhood. No doubt an IQ is

not needed to make a mortgage payment!

Of course, do you think my " concerned " neighbors offered any

sympathy if they thought I was knocking at death's door???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think bumpkins exist in all shapes, sizes and even income

brackets. You don't have to be smart or edumacated to be well-off.

LOL. Remember, the Clampetts lived in Beverly Hills. ROFLMAO.

Remember...every village has their idiot! I think you live next

door to yours.

Seriously, if I saw a neighbor drop alot of weight and look very

sickly, I might try to say something....say hello, ask if all is

okay, etc. But if I just saw a neighbor drop alot of weight yet

look good...I would just be plain jealous!

Hey, our neighbors have seen Rich lose a person in the past 6 months

and they compliment him.

Hey Robyn,

Maybe he was just trying to help - I mean he could have just spoken to

you without making the offer. Sometimes people are just awkward about

asking after someone's health. After all it's kind of tricky to just

walk up and say " are you dying of cancer " ! You have lost an enormous

amount of weight - people are bound to be curious. One of my neighbors

who is newish in the neighborhood stopped me to ask how I had lost all

the weight. I was a bit peed off at first beacuse she had barely said hi

to me before. The I realized that she is a bit shy and just looking for

a reason to strike up a conversation. We talked about surgery and all

that. We'll never be buddies, but now we wave and say hi and that's okay

with me.

Many people I have never spoken to before ask me about my loss. I would

be curious too! One old guy I just say hi to when I'm walking my dogs

told me that I " was the talk of the lake " (he meant the reservoir that I

walk around). It's understandable look at your before and after photos!

As we say where I come from " there's nowt so queer as folks " !

People are sumptin else....

My newly nice and friendly neighbor saw me in my garage Saturay

trying to operate apower tool. I was trying to put up shelves in my

quest fro organization in my chaotic life. LOL!

He walks over and offered to help but tells me I need certain

brackets and tells me what hardware to buy. I offered to pay him but

he said he would settle for a piece of birthday cake. I told him I

was on my way to a birthday party.

Well, today he comes over to help. I offered him some refreshments

and he asks if I have any of the cake left. No but I brought out the

only " sweet " tasting things in the house ( besides me..Bwhahahah.)

He accepted a SF Philly Swirl bar and said they had no sugar in

them. Duh? They are SF. He also said no to a Power Crunch bar. I

told him I don't consume sugar since I was on a diet.

Oh he says, his wife said I must be doing work on my house to put it

on the market. Huh? He said him and his wife were amazed at

the " enormous " amount of weight I had lost and his wife said I must

have " cancer " to lose " that much weight. "

The guy offered to hang my shelves out of morbid curiosity. He

thought I was ready to drop dead or had a terminal disease.

People are sumptin else...

Oh I know I shouldn't be laughing, but that is pretty funny. It just

shows the ignorance and " chutzpah " of some people.

Next time you need shelves put up, or any other " handyman " activities

done around the house, please call me. Jeff does more than give good

back massages. LOL Seriously, he'd have no problem helping you out

and then while he's working, it gives us time to " gab " .

Love & Hugs,

Steph
