WTF?

My favorite line is, "Ohio's agriculture is based on rain."

Let Down



When people have a baby, they commonly say, "I just want my child to be healthy".

It's getting harder and harder for me to talk to fat people and pay attention to what they're saying because I have to block out my constant thought about how and why they got so fat.

Even though you're 30, I bet your parents still want you to be healthy.
