>I think you can't be.
You are right, sid. I have actual proof. She is not ugly, not even close.
I can't imagine what your T. was "acknowledging" that you had said, but I have no doubt it was distorted. As you know, I am ever so well-acquainted with calling physical characteristics on myself "ugly' sometimes - too overweight, too out of shape, too many age spots popping out, this body part too big, this one too saggy, this one too bland, too small, too weird-looking, hair isn't right, clothes don't hang nicely, blah-de-blah-de-blah. So many of us do that. Some or all of those specifics may well be accurate - I would be the last person to deny that (the reality of which seems to make you, me, others - just like thousands of middle-aged women, BTW) but since when does that equate to ugly???
Ugly is an ugly word and I don't apply it to human beings, except to their bad bevaiior, which could be "ugly."
A couch, car or dress can be ugly, but certainly not a woman, and certainly NOT you, Dinah.
