that wasn't a compliment/non-compliment.  it was more of a vocalization
of the sad realization that you're not the person i thought you were.
but then over the many years i've known you/jim/cora/yttrx/... you've
never been easy to nail down, and something tells me that'll never
change.  that's life.  (:

i don't recall ever asking you (or those phantom others) if you thought
my choice to pursue WLS was a good idea.  i felt it was the right
decision for my situation; my family, my doctor and my surgeon agreed,
and after much soul searching and over two years of research, i moved
forward and saw things through to the end.

a few close friends did share their concerns with me - fears of dying,
fears of "shitting caramel" [nod to lish] and other potential
complications. some folks disagreed with me/my choices, but they still
supported, and continue to support, me.  if you were too worried about
"hurting my feelings" or "making other people feel bad," or some such
bullshit, that's your issue, not mine.

you have fun with that, sweetheart.
