Public Service Announcement

Why the hell would someone need 'assistance' in trying on some clothes? You walk around the store, pick up a few items, disappear into the dressing room (where they have these amazing things called full-length mirrors) for five minutes and decide what fits, what doesn't and what makes your ass look inviting.

Profit, profit, profit!

The fashion industry is what's wrong, not the dictionary. That's like Starbucks calling their smallish medium-sized drink a "Tall". Just because they insist on using it doesn't mean that it's wrong, wrong, wrong.

tall is their medium. they used to have a small, but no one bought it because the medium was $0.10 more. small, tall, grande. then they added a 20 oz cup and called it venti.


that said, i never order with their sizes. take that, baristas!

anorexia is a rare occurance compared to the modern day fatass which is a very common occurance, big difference.

Hey look! another fat bashing thread! :roll:

Ok ... enlighten us as to all the positive aspects of being a fatty.

Apparently being overweight is not unhealthy, dieting is.

God that's pathetic.

I'm sorry. A short, fat person is NOT petite. Putting a "petite" label on a size 16 is the company's way of not hurting the pumpkin's feelings.

Shorty, you've been owned and your entire weak rant not only shows how shallow you are, but ignorant as well.

Instead of merely pointing out that the girl was a pain in the ass or a bitch, you felt the need to pick on her for her size and incorrectly assume you knew what "Petite" meant when it comes to women's clothing sizes. So it turns out YOU'RE the dumbass, not her. Oh! The Irony!!!

Not only that, but seeing as you felt so strongly about it, why didn't you tell her to STFU instead of slinking away and posting a weak ignorant rant on the internet. Too much of a pussy to degrade people in person? Did the short chubby woman scare you too much?

:roll:

you ever notice that quite often the "heavier" a girl is directly relates to how bitchy she is when looking at clothing that doesn't fit her but she thinks it does?

I call it the Bundy Principle. I have never seen my overweight friends get more angry as when they go clothes shopping. I almost got my ass handed to me once: She said something like, "I'm so upset that all these 'cute' outfits (translation: revealing and tight) are never made in my size." I replied, "I'm actually thankful."

RMNAAFA seemed to spring back to life in the summer of 2006. Unfortunately, the web page has not kept up. Although this page is in need of a major overhaul, this little section is going to quickly bring you up to date.

We have been to several Denver area restaurants for lunch in spring, summer, and fall of 2006, including Jus Cookin and Jack N Grill. We had a lunch at Jan's (one of our members) house. And, we went to Cosmic Bowling! Here is a little web page regarding our Cosmic Bowling Event.

There will be more lunches coming up soon. In addition, we will be going bowling again, trying a night out at a karaoke place, and going to a local comedy club.

But, the big event, of course, will be our Halloween Party. This is always the main event of our year, when we get to see everyones creative side, have lots of laughs, and just have fun.

The party this year will be on Saturday, October 28 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. It is a little earlier than in past years, and the location has changed. It will be in a private room at the Capabilities store, 6805 West 88th Avenue in Westminster. This is in a shopping area in Westminster, just off 88th Avenue. The most noticeable things on this block are the Black Eyed Pea and On The Border. If you see those while driving down 88th, you are in the right area. The store is somewhat northeast of those two restaurants.
