What is the best way to tell a friend that she's lazy?

I've got a friend who loves to do things slow. You know... like a turtle- hihihi. Well, I don't know if it's just my perception but she never gets things done. She sits in front of the TV all the time and she doesn't exercise.

What food do you usually crave for?

tintin7978 @tintin7978 (102) • Philippines 3 Oct 07

For the past couple of weeks, I've been craving for an apple pie. Unfortunately, the most accessible place where I can have it is McDonald's. It's fine but that's not the kind I want. The homemade kind is better.
