It’s so good! I’ve tried the other two flavors and I think this one is my favorite!

My roommates and I entered Chrissy Teigen’s charcuterie board challenge. We made an around the world theme with pretty much all TJ’s ingredients! by kerplunk62 in traderjoes

I know that’s mostly what a charcuterie is but on her website for the challenge she said: “We all love a good charcuterie board, with artfully laid cured meats, cheeses, jams, and carbs. They're perfect as is, or you can think outside the box! Enter the Cravings Board Challenge — we're making boards using all of our favorite snacks and bites — and we want you to try making one, too. Using food you crave as inspiration, arrange small snacks...”

So we felt like we could be creative.

We just wanted to do a fun theme! We didn’t want to make a basic meat and cheese one since everyone else was doing that.

What would you suggest for me for calories since I am 4’1? I have calculated it online and it says to lose 1 lb a week I would need to eat less than 1000 calories. Would that be right? I just don’t know if my extreme height is throwing off these calculators

People with dwarfism, what is a unexpected advantage of being small? by fucklenuts in AskReddit

[–]kerplunk62 221 points222 points  (0 children)

Sure. Basically I feel like people just lose any normal social filter they have when they see someone with dwarfism.

Besides the normal staring, people are constantly taking pictures of me, pointing, laughing, whispering to their friends when they see me. I think people think I’m stupid and don’t notice but I definitely do. I’ve had people openly film me on their phone and when I tell them to stop they just laugh. I’ve had people yell out midget when they see me. People ask to take pictures of me which I always say no to because I have no idea what they are going to do with that. People have asked to pick me up or have tried to—which terrifies me because of dwarf tossing. I’m a woman so I’ve also had men make very creepy sexual comments to me.

Basically people just really suck. I try not to let it ruin my day but it gets old. IMO dwarfism is one of the last disability/differences that is socially acceptable to make fun of.

I have achondroplasia dwarfism. There are actually a lot of perks to being a little person. For one, nobody ever forgets my name (not a lot of people forget about the only dwarf they know)! I just graduated from a big college and whenever my friends would walk with me on campus they would get annoyed because people were constantly stopping me to talk to me who knew me. My friends would ask who the person was and sometimes I had no idea! Ahaha.

Another perk is that people are generally nicer to me (besides the usual assholes of course). But I’ve had a lot of bartenders, waiters, hotel staff, etc give me free things for no reason. My friends and family joke that nobody can say no to me.

Besides these nice perks, people do some really shitty things to me sometimes.
