I've been one for years.
I get 'bulldog' or 'stubborn' if they're trying to be 'nice' :rotfl:

ED = Eating disorder.
Commonly anorexia or bulimia, but also overeating disorders and other abnormal attitudes towards food (which can include spectrum)That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

The comment about wastage at the all you can eat buffets was before/aside from EDs. I'm quickly scanning, but I don't think PN has commented about EDs (other than her own ASD related sensitivities) at all.
It was mumps and 7dw I think?
Yes SDW said about her friend asking them not to comment on what she was eating and I said I thought it was sad that she felt the need to say it.
I'm not sure how that makes us harpies and considering the moans earlier on about people being rude I feel that Feral Moon was very rude. Neithe SDW said anything nasty about people with eating disorders, quite the contrary in fact as I was saying people shouldn't make remarks like that to people with anorexia and SDW was pointing out that she has heard rude remarks to people who are overweight, I assume that overeating is as much an ED as anorexia is.Sell £1500

Don't worry I think it is SDW and me who are the harpies. Although if someone can point out anything nasty that we said about eating disorders I would be grateful.
Maybe I should explain about the problems I've been having with my bowels and how it has affected by eating. Do you want me to start with the symptoms, the colonoscopy, how I felt about the treatment?Sell £1500

Female dog really winds me up - I had an ex that thought it was an endearment. He thought it was funny when it made are angry...That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

That apology sounds really sincere...
I'm off to bed now. I'm obviously getting grouchy.
That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
