This is what I’m talking about. 1956 - 1976 and the value of this car went up astronomically back then. 20 years. Let’s go back 20 years now to 2005 with a 20 year old car today. It’s not worth one red cent. Why? Because styling matters. That’s why. Now this MB is worth 10 million dollars and still looks unbelievably gorgeous in 70 year old original condition. Why? Because styling always matters.

And it’s not just clinic stuff. It’s the oversharing. The personal drama. People tell me things I didn’t ask to know while I’m literally trying to take a temperature.

And don’t even get me started on when I finally carve out 30 minutes for myself at my favorite coffee shop. I just want to have a moment to read and listen to my music and then a client sees me and decides to invite themselves over and sit with me. It’s really annoying.

A flyer’s the one who gets lifted in stunts. That was me in high school and college. I was small and flexible, so they tossed me up a lot. It was fun, and a little scary sometimes, but I loved it.

With cheerleading, did any of your schools discriminate?

No, I don’t think so? Why?

Hypothetical. You’re short so I’m assuming that’s why they made you a “flyer”. Let’s say a girl 4’ 11” 310 pounds (big as hell, as in built like a deep freezer with eyelashes — 3 bills easy) showed up to tryouts and wanted to be a flyer, would y’all’s coach let her on the squad to be a flyer or would they discriminate? For real question Lol.

Pardon the crash, but I recall back in the day girls were most likely chosen to a cheer or pom squad for three reasons: looks; talent; and do we have a uniform that she'll fit into. Our school used the same uniforms year upon year, no girl ever kept her uniform.

If our school had two tall girl unis but three talented tall girls, the two tall girls with the higher tryout scores were typically admitted to the squad. Purchasing a new uni for the third talented tall girl would've been too expensive, and her uni would've looked different/better than the other old unis.

In your example, I see it as unlikely a squad would've had a uni to fit a girl.of the size you describe.
