"Obesity 'could be a disability' - EU courts rule"

The court said that if obesity could hinder "full and effective participation" at work then it could count as a disability.

Judges said that obesity in itself was not a disability - but if a person had a long-term impairment because of their obesity, then they would be protected by disability legislation.

My older brother's wife is heavyset and she's disabled for Christmas due to knee surgery. His first wife was heavyset too.

See, I'm being nice. They're both obese floating cows. They all are, actually.

You'd love her Souther accent and adorable expressions. She says, "I plum forgot."

And I go, "I apricot forgot then peach remembered."

Last night by email I asked seven people one simple question, if their house has a garden and this morning BOOM seven emails stacked up talking about houses, gardens, having and not having, and state of affairs, and where the shed goes, the old house, the new house, slops to the yard, rabbits, deer, vermin, children not liking vegetables, plethora of heirloom tomato plants, plans for the future, Christmas, wishing we could see each other, their wives being beautiful, gifts for Christmas, yeast smelling like cooked corn, and knee surgery, and howzit going with me.

Reminds me of the smart aleck kid at camp who, whenever one of us would say, "Me too," would chime in, "Me three." He probably thought that was cute. The rest of us not so much.

I'm glad I grew up before youtube, or there might be videos of me making an ass of myself too saying stupid shit devoid of perspective or wisdom. It will be available for all time, and to all people ....except North Koreans.

Hey Chip, the phrase "Plumb forgot" is correctly spelled the way I did. It means 'straight forgot' as in 'plumb straight'. It has nothing to do with fruit.
