Kicked Off Amusement Ride!

Something similar happened to me ... only I was on one of those swings that lift up high - it did lock, but then the swing wouldn't lift! talk about embarressing! All those people could see that the swing wouldn't lift off - YUCK! I can't wait until next year when I am going to go on every ride there is!

Good luck with your surgery.

About a month ago, we went to visit my inlaws in Georgia. They are both fat people, and my partner and I are both fat.

First, when we got on the plane, we were in the row of 3 seats, and this poor skinny man got to the row, looked at us and his face showed this horrible look...like "oh fu**, I have to squeeze in with THEM?" Of course, my seatbelt didn't fit, but I put it in my lap so they wouldn't notice, because I can't admit I need an extender.

Then, we are in Georgia, and go to one of those Chinese all you can eat buffets, and the people in the booth across from us were making comments and turning around to look at us. It was really embarrassing. We were that "OMG fat family". Sigh.

We were going to go to downtown Atlanta, because I have been to Georgia 3 times (Marietta, a suberb of Atlanta) and never seen the downtown. So we had planned to go to the Coke musuem. Well, the in-laws didn't want to go, because they can't walk that far. So that plan ended.

For the plane ride home, we get to our seats, and AGAIN on the row of 3 seats (seriously, I think if a fat couple is traveling together, they should be allowed to switch to the row of 2, so at least you are only crammed in with your SO). What do we see? A very fat man sitting in the third seat. All three of us looked at each other, then looked at the seats, and the man said "well, ask the flight attendant if she has any lard, cause we're gonna need it". So we jammed into the seats, and had the most uncomfortable ride ever.

This is the weekend that broke the camel's back so to speak. A month later, we decided on surgery, and in 13 days we will be getting it.

I can't wait.
