I would not come here to be insincere or waste anyone's time. To be honest, I joined the other day, because someone said something about me that wasn't true...PLEASE let's don't rehash that, it's over. But now that I'm here, I like the forum. Not everyone who keeps their mouth shut has been duped or fooled. And it has nothing to do with protecting anyone. Sometimes it's just indifference or maybe self-preservation.

Opinions....okay. Wendell blocked me out of his cyber world, so I don't think he really cares about my opinion about him. But here are my general thoughts. I can't stand liars. I can't stand deception. I think trolls, fakes, and imposters ought to be called out, but I also think it may be dangerous to do so, so I will choose my battles carefully in the future. I don't like Bullies on Support Boards.

Chelle! The "Century Club". That's fantastic!

I am not ignoring your question...just not sure how to answer. You might have gotten more out of me, if not for Lauren posting the private e-mail request I sent to Wendell (which went ignored, BTW). She had it at the tip of her fingers. So nothing I say will be confidential...I'm sure of that.

Lauren, You sound like my SIL. She used to drink occasionally, but then developed an allergy to all alcohol. Same symptoms you are describing.

That sounds interesting. I love all kinds of wine.

I was told by my fill doc not to tan my scars for at least 1 year. I tan occasionally, and would throw the towel over my tummy. After 1 year, I took off the towel, and just tanned. My scars are BARELY noticable. Cover your tummy and use the tanning cream on your tummy. It's worth the wait!

My DH was just telling me about a conversation with a co-worker today about Band vs. Bypass. Of course, he thinks he knows all about the Band! His co-workers sister had bypass 5 or 6 years ago and is very ill. She is thin, but has had so many complications! Right now she is having trouble with her bowels. Because she has lost the enzymes that break up the food, her body is trying to expell food in it's almost solid original form, causing horrible blockages, requiring surgery. She's severely malnourished. Her doctor told her that if you get past 5 years, your odds are still 1 in 350 for survival with bypass. He thinks it's down to 1 in 25 or 1 in 50 for the first few critical months. Scary huh???

I'll work on that!

I went one step beyond today. MADE and ATE candy. Paula Deen's white chocolate peanut pretzel bark. I won't be making that again. I could eat the whole batch in one weekend.

You're absolutely right...

You know, that's probably the nicest thing you've ever said to me. I'll take it though, LOL!

Did we pass or fail? I can't tell.

That's because you're a stupid idiot Chelle! What were you thinking? Or are you even capable of even thinking? No, I don't think you are... (Is this what you guys want instead???)

That should be fairly obvious.

Is there something wrong with me posting my weekend plans?

Tonight, I'm making hubby a nice romantic dinner and getting rid of the kids. One is 21 and the other is going to his High School football game. Tomorrow, playing in a card tournament, just for fun, not anything super serious. We're all bringing nibbles and cocktails. Should be a good time. About 20-25 people.

That was cute. I like this page the best: Beware of the troll - a guide to online trolling

Can someone tell me why I'm getting these replies in my mailbox when I didn't start the thread?

Chelle, I agree with you. I am not part of "us", "them" or "those people over there". I am an individual. Nobody tells me what to think, who to support, or who to be friends with, or who to NOT be friends with. Please don't "pigeon-hole" me into what you think I am. I might surprise you!

Oh, a margarita party! I'm in! I promise you girls would really like me. I'm fun... Okay, now I'm really going!

Thanks for the chat y'all. It was entertaining. I'm off to spend time with hubby.

You think?

I don't think that and didn't say that.

I'm not angry. Some of YOU said you were angry.
