He meant it as a compliment. I was wearing this great red top and black column skirt I got at the thrift shop and one of the brothers at the meeting commented that if I kept it up, I was going to 'waste away!' I just replied I had a lot more wasting to do if that were to happen. A couple of others commented on my loss too. Red is just my color. When I find my camera card, I will get a picture taken!
