I love his music, but I'm not going to sit and listen to it all day...currently there is only 1 station here that is playing only his music for 24 hours...

Well said!!! We are all entitled to our own opinion

There is no law against sharing your bed with other children...especially at the permission of their parents...it has nothing to do with him being famous...it wouldn't have mattered if he was "the general public"

I don't worship him. They weren't his kids friends...they were his as strange as that is. He had a hug bed that the would pile into. I know it's not normal and it may be strange to people, but to him it was normal.

Let me just say that if a child discribed his penis and he had all these accusations there would be no settling or paying the kid off...in a child molestation case if there is enough proof then they are prosecuted it doesn't matter if the child wants to press charges or not! You opened a thread for discussion and that is what we are doing. So just because not everyone in here is agreeing with you doesn't mean we shouldn't post here, but somewhere with others that share the same views. When he said he slept with them he just meant that he shared a bed...like a slumber party. He thought he was a little boy...there was nothing dirty about him sleeping in a bed with kids when they were having a sleep over!

Yeah that would be fun . I don't have many friends up here :thumbup:

I have not burped ONCE since my surgery...I do get some killer hiccup attacks though!

If you're going to tan you need to cover your scars with sunblock first!

There is no proof he paid off people...come on! He wasn't a jerk..he did a lot of great things! SO just because you don't like him means that anything in his life that he did to help others and to make a difference should mean nothing? There are also plenty of people out there that look perfect and nice that do horrible horrible things in private that you may never know about because they will never be caught!

Exactly, Lap! Well said! He didn't hurt his kids physically or emotionally (That you would know of). Yeah...you're going to save it for who? All the druggy rock bands or purhaps the gand banger rappers? Come on please

I was told to take only 1 flinstone (I'm not sure if it matters lol) and right now you are not concentrating on losing weight or counting cals. Right now you are only working on healing from your surgery. take in only what you can and don't push yourself. Your body needs time to heal and adjust to the band :thumbup:

I didn't care too much for the EAS either, but it is what my surgeon wanted me on so I got these sugar and caffeine free coffee powders (chia, mocha, white chocolate) and I put in a spoonful or so and added a handful of ice cubes and blended it...it made it better for me, but I also added a little milk :thumbup: For me the EAS was one of the better tasting drinks....good luck

It could be gas...have you tried taking gas x strips?

I cannot stand liquid vitamins. My surgeon told me to just have one flinstone chewable every night :thumbup:

:thumbup: I found that when I got the band my cravings changed...well they started to. I started wanting fish and chicken...fast food started tasting like...well junk lol. I was a binge eater. I always told my mom "I think I'm a confused bulimic girl" I would binge and binge, but never purge! I'm almost 23 and I'm 5'3''. I weighed close to 300 at my highest and before my surgery I had gotten down to 253.6. I made it down to 192, but then had some stress and what not so I gained some. I need to get a fill, but I need to wait until things calm down in my life for a while. The cravings didn't go away completely, but they changed and the ones that didn't changed were less frequent! Good luck and I hope that something I said will help lol

I DID NOT say that he was my "BFF" I simply said that he had an impact on my life. He was never convicted of child molestation and in the country we live in it is innocent until proven guilty. You cannot condemn someone for accusations...if you could a lot of innocent people would be jailed for no reason other than word of mouth! BTW I also never said I worshiped him so please do not put words in my mouth

I would love to win. My husband is in the Army so we drive A LOT and they're long drives. I had one of the Classic iPod Minis and it broke on our last trip :thumbup:(( Good luck to everyone :confused:

YAY!!! I am so excited of you! And proud of you for taking this step :thumbup: Congrats and good luck :confused:

he was troubled, but he was still someone who made an impact on others lives...you are entitled to your opinion. He wasn't just popular 20 years ago! Wait until his funeral it will be huge! Elvis danced sexually (for back then) and people still loved him! Michael is no different. They may not have fallen in love with him or even liked him as a person, but they loved his music and his performances and even his videos! This is a sad day for me, but not for you and that's fine...just like when my father dies you wont care, but it will impact me.

I have to say that I was so scared about getting the badn, but it has been worth it! I have been having a lot of personal stress and problems lately so I have stopped losing and have gained a little, but at no fault of the band! It is so worth it. I paid out of pocket for mine

Where are you looking to have your surgery done at?

Thank you so much...it does suck, so bad. I still think about our baby...what if it was the girl we always wanted or another handsome boy that would have looked just like my husband...so many questions...Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I think we may try some of those things. :tongue_smilie:

I know...I've been wondering where Gadget went off to...lol

I was a size 24-26 and now I am a loose size 16! I still shop at Torrid and Lane Bryant though lol...maybe someday...haha

I hear ya :confused: lol
