Title: hello new to the community.
Post by: doorknob on March 30, 2014, 08:03:20 PM
Hi to every one! While I've been an atheist for a while this is the first community I've joined. My mom still thinks I can't possibly be an atheist.

Well I do have a mental illness but I find the people around me to be the ill ones. I'm in search of many things like good responses to my mom who is a die hard catholic and doesn't want me to be an atheist. She will do any thing and say anything trying to convince me. She took me to see God's Not Dead today and it was so over the top cliche. any way I'm sure that's a story for another thread.

I'm very artistic prefer science and math to other subjects. I'm a mother of two. And I don't work. Not sure what else.

I am single.

But alas I was not lucky enough to escape the obesity gene in my dad's side of the family. I did escape the stupid gene though.

Thank you.

I have a high tolerance to weight jokes. And why does the fat person always get the broken chair?

Cause when a fat person break's a chair hilarity ensues. I know cause I always get the broken chair and it's always gas when I break it even more and fall on my butt!

My old friend Tom was huge and had no concept of how to gently sit down. He was a chair crusher.  :lol:

I literally get already broken chairs though! It's like a curse! And no it was broken before I got there I just finished it off.

Maybe my family does it on purpose because they won't throw out a broken chair until some  one demolishes it. They need that excuse to throw things out the hoarders!

Maybe you should get industrial furniture made in prisons. That stuff is indestructible. I stayed in homeless shelters last year. The bunks are made in prisons. You could park your truck on them and never scratch them.

We have people here with similar circumstances, so don't feel alone. This is a good place to vent and you will certainly gain useful information. I've been fighting weight issues my entire life, but still managed to life pretty well, so fuck the weight nonsense. This isn't a diet forum.

Hi doorknob! Welcome to the forum. Sorry you had to see God's Not Dead. I heard it was horrible. The website, Rotten Tomatoes has a 22% rating for it.
