 uh oh...my friends are all chubby

Phew, luckily my dad and my boyfriend are slim. LOL

Re: They're right. Obesity is contagious. We get it from
Pat, you're quite correct, of course. 'Feasting' is so much part of sociability, and not just in our culture. It's probably a paleolithic atavism which, once confined to special occasions, can now be indulged in every day, because we have such abundance...

If you had opened your beautiful blue eyes wider, and employed them for their ordained purpose, you would have discovered that the damn results of my study, such as they are, have been available for days now in my other blog, 'Thoughts'...

(By the way, are you sure you're not a blonde???)
