I'm glad you haven't. It isn't pleasant to be ignored and snubbed and treated as if your feelings don't matter. I've been ignored and invisble - men who wouldn't give me the time of day when I was overweight, suddenly were opening doors for me and stopping by my cubical to flirt and talk when I lost it all. Did they think I had forgotten how they treated me before? My sister, still morbidly overweight, has had more than her share of shitty treatment. Two events right off the top of my head - a male co-worker couldn't get a ride to the repair shop so he asked my sister and she agreed to take him. He was profusely thankful and invited her to lunch that next Friday to thank her.
My sister didn't take lunch to work that Friday as the co-worker was taking her out to lunch.
Needless to say, that Friday another bunch of co-workers was having a going away group lunch out, and the guy thought that would be more fun to attend, so he went - conveniently 'forgetting' his invitation to my sister and neglecting to even invite her along. My sister sat alone in her office, with no lunch. The guy didn't even have the decency to call and apologize. He was just going to forget she had ever done him a favor. >:( >:( >:(
The 2nd event was a work sponsored event at a local amusement park. My sister carpooled with some co-workers. She lost track of these particular people in the comings and goings in the park, hanging out with some people and then others, just to find out at the end of the day, that everyone left without her, leaving her stranded at the park. >:( >:(

Men! LOL! Well, I wish I could say the same, but I've run the gamut of treatment from invisible to irresistable and all stages in-between and all stages came with their episodes of rudeness and outright abuse.

Some one gave me a neat idea once:
If you are going to have a birthday party or you are celebrating a special event, recommend that your guests bring a little donation instead of a bottle of wine or presents. I think it is a great way to raise some money for a charity or cause you support. :)

Another idea is to help keep this site operating by donating. :)
