I thought I would pass this along as a public service announcement. Earlier this year, it happened to me. This is a heads-up to those friends who haven't experienced it yet, and an explanation to those friends and family who have.
Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While the kidney story was an urban legend, this one is not. It's happening every day.
My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been mine for years? Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in
jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose.
Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again. My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end (although badly attached at least three inches lower than my original) to the thighs they stuck me with earlier. Now, my rear complemented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion.
It was two years ago when I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and I watched horrified but fascinated as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary. My body was being replaced one section at a time. How clever and fiendish.
Age? Age had nothing to do with it. Age is supposed to creep up, unnoticed, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked repeatedly and
without warning.
In despair, I gave up my T-shirts. What could they do to me next?
My poor neck disappeared more quickly than the Thanksgiving turkey it now resembled.
That's why I decided to tell my story. I can't take on the medical profession by myself. Women of the world, wake up and smell the coffee. That really isn't plastic that those surgeons are using. You KNOW where they are
getting those replacement parts, don't you? The next time you suspect someone has had a face "lifted", look again. Was it lifted from you? I think I finally found my thighs ... and I hope that Cindy Crawford paid a really good price for them!
This is NOT a hoax. This is happening to women in every town every night.
WARN YOUR FRIENDS.
P.S. I must say that last year I thought someone had stolen my breasts. I was lying in bed and they were gone! As I jumped out of bed I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept. Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.
Now see....that is what I keep talking about!! I tell Russ, I don't want a boob job, I don't need a boob job, I just want the ones I have to be back where they use to be before kids!!!!!! lmbo (a 10 1/2 pounder at that!!!!)
I too want the body I had before I had Kaitlyn. I gained 50 pounds while pregnant and Kaitlyn weighed 10 when she was born. While I used to be a perky B cup I am now a big round D cup. Boob surgery is in the future for me though.
Though my disappearing body parts was a shock and a disappointment, the worst was yet to come.
I'm walking down the isle of the store and I hear, swash, swish, swash, swish. I keep looking around and not seeing anything. Funny thing, when I stop, I don't hear anything. This goes on for weeks. I'm thinking it's my hearing or an inner ear infection.
Well, I'm in the Room Store with Hubby. I see a large mirror that I like. I walk up to get a look at the price. Swash, swish, swash, swish. There's that sound. As I get up closer to the mirror as the sound is following me, I finally see to my absolute horror what has been haunting me. My inner thighs are rubbing together like a cricket and making a noise when I'm walking.
Mind you, I have never had inner thighs to speak of let alone inner thighs that touch. It must have happen one night when I was asleep. SNATCH and SWITCH!!!
I'm now experienceing a new phase in my life, MENOPAUSE Just a hint, PMS is a walk in the park.
I have a hunch I will be a raving lunatic when that time comes...PMS is bad enough...everyone here knows to leave me alone and refrain from stupid comments!! lol
Let me give you a guys perspective (as mildly as I can)
Thighs that rub? Just keeps it warm
Boobs sag a little after kids? Don't worry - WE CAN FIND THEM! We're booby magnets. It has been scientifically proven that an infant can find its way to its mothers breast with no help. When it comes to breasts, we never leave infancy! (although leaving your mother does help)
Dimples in your thighs? Hand grips for us
Saggy skin on your upper arm? Um.....we don't look at upper arms...lol
Thick in the middle? Just makes you softer
Junk in the trunk? I'd be censored if I answered that!
You are worried about us leaving you because of how you look???? Florists and jewelry stores don't make billions because you buy those items for yourself! We gotz to keep ya'll around some how, cuz picking up our dirty socks wont cut it. Or cooking our dinner, or doing our laundry, or cleaning the house, or doing the dishes, and beautiful wives to boot?........dang.....us guys have it pretty good.
Ok, its good behavior time. I'm gonna do my part.......now where did I throw that last sock........oh yeah, over there by my plate, glass, fork and napkin on the coffee table........ok, it's easier to buy roses.

LOL, do we really even need to look at the jokes with you around, B?? LMAO Thanks for giving us the hubby's perspective. Now just get Mundane to reply in the same manner and you guys should have a REALLY FUN weekend!! We wives will be so happy with you guys that you don't care about our bodies!!
Brad says that he loves the way I am, but sometimes he slips and says that he would like to see me the way I was before I got pregnant. Then after a remark like that he is cut off for at least a week. LOL!!!!! Then he is all doing the dishes and yard work trying to suck up. Too funny!!!

Cut us off for a week? You might as well take our blood! Of course, I'm not married so I guess I'm not qualified ot comment on this, but having it around the house every day and not being able to get it, yeah, I'd be cleaning some dishes too!..lol
(Notice how the guys have taken this thread to a whole new level?..lol) Ya'll post a little joke thing and we have to get all serious about it..lol
Too funny!!!! Take y'alls blood. I guess I have never thought of it like that. I think in a marriage everything does completly change. I'm not going to get into our before and after sex life because I will get edited, but it has definitly changed over the 4 1/2 years. LOL!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, yes you men have taken it to a whole new level!! Sorry about your luck, WonkasGhost. Paige, I totally have to agree with you, except the fact that I'm the one doing the dishes trying to suck up to get something in return!! LMAO I'm the one always wanting "something". lol
I'd love it if I got it every night!! lol. But it's ok though. We don't have a human kid, just our two lil furkids and it's really weird 'cause they always want to be with us, NO MATTER WHAT!! We have to shoo them out of the room first, and then they start barking because they think something is wrong!! LMAO, such a mood killer!!! Oh well, we just continue and let them in when it's all over with, lol.
When me and Brad were without child we would "you know what" like 3 times a day. I wonder how I ended up pregnant? LOL!!!! Now its too funny because we have to put Oscar outside because he thinks we are fighting or something. And he starts growling and barking on the other side of the door. Too funny!!
