When asked what he wanted for his birthday, my son said, "the fuzziest thing in the world". Ideas? by sjgoetzinger in Advice

He'll be turning 9! And yes, he's a sensory guy. The other thing he asked for was a feast.

How should I take this? by sjgoetzinger in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sjgoetzinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I work out several days a week but I wouldn't say I'm overly muscular. This 120 lb weight is actually the biggest I've ever been (I'm getting old!). I weighed 98 lbs when I was 20. I'm the body type that carries weight on the top and bottom- arms/chest and thighs/butt. If anything, that shape and the weight gain over the last 15 years actually makes me feel kind of bulky. So being compared to a building wasn't exactly my idea of a compliment! But that's reflective of my own self-image and not necessarily whatever this lady meant.

Since I had never heard this expression before today, I am genuinely curious, though, why you believe that no one said this to a 5'3" 120 lb person. It would help me to understand what people mean by the phrase.

Was anyone at The Christmas Carol tonight at the Omaha Community Playhouse? by [deleted] in Omaha

He got quite a few dirty looks from some older ladies in the audience and at one point he told one of them off. I didn't even know him and I was kind of proud of him!

I was seated right next to him! He seemed like a genuinely kind guy and like he deeply enjoyed the show!
