3. hell no. ok, it is choice, so it is your choice to say something or not

May 2012

with choice, i can only speak for myself. that would have gotten a mouth drop, a look in the eye and an immediate.... OMG, what an ugly thing to say.

and i would have walked off.

and she could have made the next move

i would NOT let that stand. no if ands or buts. i am also confrontational. i dont let people give me their shit and i certainly dont own it. i would call her right now and tell her what a hurtfully offensive thing that was to say to you. you expect more of her. and at a sad/fearful (cause of weight) time, yet joyous time, to try to give you that garbage is beyond insulting.

tell her you are so mad, you do not want to talk about it now

and let her sit on it. and think. reflect. how offensive she is

and she can come to you

NOW, that is what i would do with no hesitation at all.

but that is just me.

i am sorry that anyone would dare to treat you in that manner. but there is no way i would let that stand.

her proclamation of being a christian fell short.... by a long mark

i am sorry
