The Thread in Which Cass Writes Letters in Courier Font

Pfft. You're not fooling anyone. We know you're shameless

You know Angie will slap it anyway, right?

You're totally spoiling him.

Tell that to the hungry chihuey.

Since this thread appears to be dormant and I am in dire need of a place in which I can write letters about very important issues in Courier font, I shall repurpose it.

Dear Thread in Which Cass Writes Letters About Very Important Issues in Courier Font:

I know I've never addressed a letter in quite this way before, but I really had no idea how to address it -- I knew only that it had to be written in Courier font.

This morning I got on the scale for the first time in months. And, OMG, it registered a weight almost 30 pounds more than the last time I weighed myself! Thirty pounds! THIRTY POUNDS!!! Gaah!

I proceeded to have a tiny freak out all by myself. How could I put on that much weight in just a couple of months without realizing it?! I've maintained pretty close to my high school weight for years, so this sudden weight gain was all the more startling. I mean, I don't pay that much attention to calories, but I do run and stuff. People were always telling me that it gets harder to maintain your weight with age -- but I never thought it would be this sudden! Could my thyroid be out of whack? Have I really eaten that many brownies since the election?

I was going to need all new clothes for spring -- my old stuff would never fit...

...which is when I realized that if I really put on thirty pounds, NONE of my clothes would fit, including what I was currently wearing. So I tried on a couple of my spring things, and near as I can tell, I'm pretty much the same size I have always been. My scale must be wonky.

So my question is this: Do I still get to buy a whole new spring wardrobe?

Sincerely,
Cass




(I'm actually feeling mildly sheepish that it didn't instantly occur to me that the scale must be off. I am petite and small-boned -- a thirty-pound weight gain would be quite substantial and certainly noticeable on me.)

ETA:

Heh.  I think I figured out the problem.  It's a digital scale with four tiny leg-thingees on the bottom that seem to be weight-sensitive.  One of the leg-thingees is missing, which probably throws off the scale.  

Either that, or my internal organs are transforming into lead.

*grabs credit card*

My feet probably grew, too, right? So I definitely need new shoes as well.
