The Sarcastic Response

This is the first of a few responses to recent blog posts and comments offering dating/marriage advice. If my head clears on this one, I'll go for a thoughtful response. But for now, you get my own particular brand of sarcasm.

Kassie's list of people or types of people that you would do well to avoid dating, loving, and/or marrying.

1) People with diabetes.
2) People with food allergies that can result in anaphylaxis.
3) People with MS.
4) People who use wheelchairs.
5) People who eat fast food.
6) Cancer survivors.
7) Anyone who has a condition listed in the NORD database.
8) People who smoke.
9) People who drink.
10) People who eat red meat.
11) People who travel to other countries (they could pick up a disease you know).
12) Licensed drivers(much more likely to get into a fatal or debilitating car accident).
13) Airline Pilots, sky divers, mountain climbers, hot air balloonists and window-washers.
14) Anyone in any branch of the Military.
15) People with heart disease (I suggest a baseline EKG prior to any second date).
16) People with a family history of cancer.
17) Coal Miners (and probably their daughters).
18) People who live in Tornado Alley.
19) People who don't exercise.
20) Firefighters and police officers.

21) People who chew with their mouths open (ok, that one is for real. Who needs to put up with that til death do you part?)

LOL Kassie - nicely done. I'd put up with anyone from 1-20, but there's no way I'd spend the rest of my life with someone who chews with his mouth open! YUCK

Ok, again I'm missing something. Where is the original post about marriage/dating someone with diabetes? I'm so confused.

I do like the snark, though. Very nice. :D

Is this in response to advice to never marry a diabetic?

Yes, Megan, I've seen that phrase (or it's equal) in the comments sections of two blogs recently. I'm clearly having a hard time letting it go!

Kassie

You forgot a few:

People who eat food slowly. (As opposed to fast food.)
People who smile.
People who laugh.
People who cry.
People who eat. (vs. People who drink.)
People who fume. (vs. People who smoke.)
People who eat white meat.
People who eat no meat.
People who breathe.
People who think.

I am sure there are many many more, but it had me laughing!

I had this general thought in my head as well. No one is without a health risk unless your a friggin robot. And who wants to hug metal?
