The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 19, 2021

“Would you settle for a palm upside the head?”

I look good for my age, I hate that last part

Call ’em as you see ’em?

I personally went on the GRIEF diet after my wife died recently and I LOST 40 pounds in 18 weeks (WOO HOO) I don’t recommend it for anyone and I hate it. Sadly we were both overweight before she died and I still am.

I’ll just add that I joined a workout group called ‘F3’ nearly two years ago, and between them (great guys) and trying to cut out truly bad foods, I’m down twenty-odd pounds (closing in on thirty- cross your fingers) and can do pushups and junk alongside people twenty years younger than me. So- I don’t look as fat as I did! High Five!

Nice pep talk.

Maybe not the response you were looking for, but the results are good.

Not loooooooking good but definitely better……..

talk about a “backhanded compliment”

You will survive this one, Mike, but you would never survive the guilt, if you said something that stupid and inconsiderate to your Mother.

Very few people are willing to call others to their faces. However, lots of people will gladly tell you how fat you used to be.

I can see how have a teenager walking around with a highly fragrant bag of chips would also not be helpful.
