I used to only drink coffee for breakfast when I worked, and I'd nurse the same cup for about three hours. I do adore breakfast, though, especially now because I wake up famished, while I didn't used to. My husband used to tease me that I'd take a banana to work each day for breakfast, and bring the same banana home that evening. It was sort of a funny thing. He called it the "traveling banana".


There was over 30.. half of them just talk soooooo loud it’s ridiculous... I’m just use to it being just my husband and I and we generally are quiet people.... so add in loud people and kids yelling back and forth. Ugh ! I’m just glad it was over with.

So the guy near me said ... oh you need more that that on your plate ....your going to be starving ..... for starters I am fat , this isn’t me just thinking i am . It is fact , metabolic syndrome and All that . Was he being funny ? Was he insulting me ? Was he just some 65-70 year old that thinks it’s okay to say whatever comes to mind ?

It’s honestly shocking sometimes what people say to each other... I could have easily remarked that by the looks of his stomach it’s obvious he’s not missing any meals or that he really should stop doing a comb over as it’s just drawing more attention to his lack of hair ??!

No , I do not go out of my way to be rude or unkind . Life is hard for everyone... kindness is a free gift to share.
