| | | I haven't met to much ignorance, some like oh why do you do that or eat that or drink that, but nothing off the wall....
But I want to smack people if they think I am weird cause I can handle peanutbutter chocolate candy better then a banana , hey go figure LOL......
They just think it is crazy and then I get I should be a fat cow, with the way I eat......because I eat breakfast and lunch at work, but ummm...well, all the sugar carbed stuff they shove in there mouths, and the big big taco bell lunches they injest so surpass all the carbs I even bring with me....that is why they got the junk in there trunk DUH!!!!!!!!
