Ya' know, there have been a lot of chances for jokes in this thread, but I ain't really into it......Maybe I'm just gettin' old or something, but I honestly could give a shit less to be quite truthful. I really dunno' when it was that I quit paying much attention to anything regarding looks, but it was a long time back.

Karen has gone from 150 to 230 to 135 to 250 and in all of it, I really don't see her in any of those ways. I still "see" the woman who fascinated me by her conversation (even though she says she's a lousy conversationalist and was nervous), the girl I wanted to marry fom the moment we met. After years of being together, when I think of "Karen" in my mind, I see the eyes and hear the voice of those many nights together in happiness and also those nights in hospitals where all I had to latch onto was the sound of her voice and I could read the situation by the look in those eyes. She's the greatest thing that ever happened to me and if she's wearing whatever it is at whatever weight it is, she still looks fine to me.

Sorry to interrupt....carry on.
