That project sounds really dangerous, kids could get in real big trouble with the wrong kind of parents.

Ian, just put something on then, lol! I'm heading for bed now, see you tomorrow! And good luck in finding anything to watch!

Kim, oh I haven't really dared to open that topic when I saw how many new answers there were, lol!

Hi Ian! I'm fine, last night off so giving myself free reins to stay up reading all night, lol! How are you, what are you doing?

Yes, It's great! So it's only three days this week, I saw the days off on my schedule this morning so I thought I'd be workning my five days regualar. :)

Lol, any particular reason clowns are hard not to think about today?

I'm fine. Noticed earlier I'm off work saturday and sunday, yey!

What are you doing?

Hi Kim! How are you?

Hi!

There will be spoilers of some characteristics, but not anything else here.

I can't be the only one noticing? You have a heroine, she's dedicated, work out 20 hours/week to be on top, and then they don't eat. Stupid!

In the Incryptid series the heroine has been trained her whole life to fight, has been a professional dancer... and doesn't eat. Two (male of fucking course) frinds talks about her (in front of her) and was like "I stood over her while she ate a sandwich." "A whole sandwich?" and I was like, GAH! First of all: If you regularly eat so little that eating a sandwich results in "A whole sandwich?" from a friends you have an eating disorder. And if you eat that little, you muscles will be weaker than they can be, because you're neglecting your body.

If you doesn't even eat as much as a sandwich occasionally you will die. You can't be like "to have this weapon can be the difference between life and death" when you're neglecting your most important weapon of them all. It doesn't matter if you have a hundred knifes if you got unconsious because you ate four days ago.

And the thing is that it makes it normal. We already has a view in society that thin is better, not eating is good. And when books like these normalize it it wont go away. We will keep seeing our young relatives wtruggle with not feeling thin enough, we will see them die before our eyes when they wont eat.

And then here are the feminist pov as well - two men helping the dumb female who doesn't know her own best. Because even if she's grown up you canät posibly think that a woman can have he ability to think enough to make her own descisions?

And it's not like this is the only one. That's the sad part. It's maybe not as open as here, but it's not the first time I've seen it. Either they're thin and not eating, or thin and eating as much as they can, or normalweighted and think they are fat (but the weight is "in the right places" and a man comes to tell her that she's perfect as she is, swoon!). And I'm fucking sick of it! Why does it have to be like this?

Kim, but I'm too easily scared, lol!

It seems scary, lol!

I'm not the same, I do it automatically, lol!

Is it any good?

I'm trying to get Loke to eat his breakfast while watching Shaun the Sheep, he's easily distracted, lol.

How are you Kim?

Good morning!

I saw the first season of Supernatural. Then I got to work, and there I walk through these dark industrial buildings.. And I have a VERY lively imagination.. Not I combo I recomend! I've had plans on keep watching it though, but there are always a book I'd rather read..

Hi Ian. I'm drinking whiskey, just heard that someone in China bought the coming two YEARS of all Lagavulin whskey, so there will be none of that anywhere else, so I'm drowning that knowledge in a glass of lagavulin, lol! I'm planning on either reading in the sofa or bed, hasn't decided yet.

What are you doing?

Rachel, that sounds awful!

Kim, are you better today?

Rachel, oh, how did you like it? I really had to force myself to put it aside this morning and go to sleep, lol!

Kim, that is shit, when you're wanting to do something but your body prvents you from doing it.
