joan Ok tonight at 6PM my friend Joan (who is thin) was having dinner with Katherine (her sister). Katherines friend Francine has terminal cancer. Any way tonight when Joan and Katherine were having dinner Joan asked; How is Francine doing;. Katherine said; Francine is down to 113 pounds and do you know what that is; Joan got upset and said; why - how much do you think I weigh; Katherine said: I am not talking about you; Joan said; but when you said that do you what that is, it is like saying you think I weigh more; They did not say anything for a while. Then Joan repeated; but when you said that do you what that is; and Katherine said; yeah do you know that is on a woman like Francine, it is all skin and bones - Francince lost three pounds in two days; And then tonight at 7PM Joan called me and told me the story and asked me if her sister thought she weighed more than 113 pounds and I said to her; no your sister does not think that - all she meant is that Francine is skin and bones. MY QUESTION: DO YOU AGREE WITH ME AND DID I GIVE THE RIGHT ANSWER: Here is what Joans sister said to Joan last week: Katherine saw Joan trying to scratch her back because Joan had a terrible itch. Katherine came over and scratched the itch on Joans back and in a teasing voice said: ech, you are so bony;

You're not fooling anyone with these questions.
Joan needs counseling. Katherine was talking about her sister and Joan needs to stop being so selfish. Honestlym if she really is friends with Katherine she needs to be a lot more sincere and think about other people a lot more.
"Do you know what that is?" doesn't refer to Joan at all, it's a rhetorical question. Katherine was just trying to make a point. Katherine is going through a really hard time and Joan needs to stop bugging her. Joan is being a really bad friend by only talking about herself. Next time she should be sympathetic and ask questions about Francine. Self-centered people tend to have very few friends. ]
I've noticed you posting a lot with questions a lot like this.
"Joan" needs to grow up, and stop thinking that the world revolves around her. "Katherine" was trying to discuss a serious issue, and "Joan" took it and made it into an adolescent argument.
Weight really isn't that important of an issue.
I'd advise "Joan" to stop thinking so much about her weight, and start thinking about other people. ]
