Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for August 10, 2023

WHERE DO I SIGN UP ?

If only….

actually make that the other way around: if people read they get fatter – and you’ll see how they’ll read like crazy

Well, if you run to the library

I wish.

Now I want to cry. I wish it were true.

I totally concur with this.

Been waiting 55+ years for it…

……“make it so”!

I have one word for reading. “Audible”. Now every long drive or long wait is an adventure in literature as someone reads to me.

Booze pickles your brain.

In my world, books ARE free—the library is a WONDERFUL place. And, if reading burned calories. I’d be a stick figure. Unfortunately, not only does reading NOT burn calories, but there’s ALWAYS some mention of some kind of food on some page. . .but I do burn calories walking to the fridge/cupboard and back to my chaise lounge. . .so that’s something. . .isn’t it????

Oh, Aunty, if only that were true!

With all that eye-cercise, Auntie, at least your peepers will be skinny.

If reading could cause weight loss, I would be virtually invisible. LOVE to read a good, hard cover book. Something about the sound and feel of the pages….

Hasn’t helped me at all

Aunty Books are free, it’s called a library, however you are still a fat@$$.

That works only if you are the type to not eat while reading, and then don’t binge eat afterwards.

If I had to choose between being skinny and getting books for free, I’d choose free books in a heart beat.

That only works if you carry a bunch of books in and out of the library..

While you can get books for free, good luck with the skinny part.

That would be Utopia indeed, Aunty ♥

In my world books are free and skinny has no value.

It’s great to see from today’s comments that so many fans of AA are avid readers!

Well, the first one is called a library

Lots of Second Hand books out there for one dollar! Try Tan.com

I read while I eat lunch, I used to wolf my food down in a short time now it takes me my whole lunch hour and there are times I don’t even finish because I feel full from eating slowly. It’s not the only reason I lost weight but it is a contributing factor.

Many of the books I own were purchased at yard sales, library sales, thrift stores, and book stores that were going out of business (or, in one happier case, simply relocating). Such shopping trips are a combination of the joy of treasure hunting and my love of a good bargain.

I could live with that.
