What Are Friends For?

I recently received a piece of junk email from someone named Mark who was just looking out for me: “Mark” wrote:

This is not meant to be an insult or anything, but people at work are talking about your weight. I thought you should know. I knew it would upset you if you knew, but I know some friends here and outside work who have used a program that worked within weeks. I’m not pushing anything on your, but thought it wouldn’t hurt if you looked into it. I also think that I am doing you a favor as it’s always nice when people talk about how much better you look than how much you’ve been putting on. I hope I am not intruding, just trying to help out. My cousin and friend Alex used this and it helped a lot. Here’s the page I know they got it from direct: zzzzz.com.Again, I’m just trying to help out. Thanks for listening. – Mark

What would I do without friends like Mark looking out for me? And, of course, he’s right: it’s always nice when people talk about how much better you look rather than how much you have been putting on. Thank goodness for friends like Mark. (more…)
