This has to be one of my favorite movies. If you have never seen it, please rent it and watch it. It is probably in the $1 section of the rentals by now. Not only does it touch on mental retardation, but also on obesity. This is one of my favorite parts of the movie.

I have never seen this movie, but I can relate to the last part of that scene. Discrimination against people of size seems to still acceptable. I know for a fact it costs me jobs and friendships. I would not get interviews for internal postings for jobs I was imminently qualified for and no one would say why.However, I remember one Christmas I was just out shopping and some real douchebag thought it was ok to walk up to me and say "You sure are a fat f@*K aren't you" A complete stranger,like there was nothing wrong with doing that.
Hi Katey. I've been trying to leave a comment for you for about a month but for some reason my PC doesn't seem to want me to talk to you!!!
Anyway, I just wanted to say keep your chin up, stay cheerful and I think you'll do just fine. (Not that I can even pretend to know what I'm talking about!)
I look forward to keeping track of you on your journey to being more fabulous than you already are! Take care xx
Finally getting back from vacation and getting caught up. You have been a blogging fool! Will take a bit to get up to date.
