I know he's over 350 pounds because he mentioned getting his free meal at Heart Attack Grill so he knows he's overweight. We try not to mention it but it's kind of hard to stay quiet about it when he says that drinking diet soda's going to help. It's kind of a hard subject to bring up because he'd just see a family intervention as bullying him. He's not interested in advice even though we know what worked for other people but it's all something he's heard before.I know it's hard for him because neither of his parents nor his sister were overweight but his parents sent him to weight loss camp every year which probably made him negative about losing weight. less

Don’t they even care that they’re assisting anyone waiting to kill, maim, capture and torture our people? GRRRRRRRR.

Growing up, I always enjoyed watching old movies from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s etc. I may have been about five or six years old, I was watching a World War Two movie, I believe it was set in the European Theatre. A soldier was on guard duty at night and heard someone approaching. He called out, “Halt! Who goes there?” The man approaching answered him, in English, the soldier on guard then challenged him, “What’s the password?” I turned to my mother and asked, “What’s a password, and why didn't he just let him through? He spoke English, so he must have been an American.” My mother explained to me that it could have been an enemy soldier who also spoke English just pretending so that he ... less
