DeLarla vs. PhotoNut



Recommended Posts

Actually, my name is Melly and people call me Telly or Melly, either or.

I am taking good care of it, putting topical antibotics on it, washing it with soap. It's hard to keep that area dry b/c I workout and the sweat just gathers right in that spot. I will do my best but I don't think there will be a problem. There is a tattoo with the band thread somewhere. Maybe they can answer the questions.

Oh but it didn't hurt too bad. After awhile, it started to feel good. I'll be getting 2 more soon right underneath those and will be sketching the big one. The big one is of a dragon, very colorful, wrapped around my waist and up my back to my neck but you won't be able to see my tattoos unless I am naked or in a bathing suit. I don't want it visible to the public.

Thellie and Tally both answer to anything. It's amazing how people butcher their names. Guess they're used to it.

And the tats on your torso are the first you've had? Wow. You must have looked at the books and fallen in love with the dragon, etc. That's going to be a big commitment. One day you'll be getting them head to toe and won't mind who sees them. Or maybe not.

I'm so computer illiterate I forget to go lookin' for info. This is a totally new experience for me. Like you couldn't tell. Right.

Oh well, I feel like I've jumped in full force b/c I really needed the feedback about LB. Now I know how people get hooked. On the upside, I think this is probably a healthier place to wile away the hours than the TV. The food ads are a killer!

Anyway, great to hear from someone so commited to exercise. And good luck with your healing!

Dody, 3loves?, DeLarla (again), Lisa Bones (again), Fitter, and Photonut. That's all I know of, correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit...don't want to start rumors. :rolleyes:

well im happy that photonut has been banned as i also noticed she had to post anywhere and on every thread that ever came up. I mean look at her posts...well that says it all.

She would put her 2cents worth in and sometimes puts new people down and started threads that werent called for.

YAY.......im happy:)

Regardless of who you liked, or who you hated, there is no purpose in continuing this thread.

If you are happy that PhotoNut was banned - rejoice.

If you are happy that Lisa (et al) was banned - rejoice.

if you are happy that Dody was banned - rejoice.

if you are happy that 3loves was banned - rejoice.

if you are sad that any of these folks are banned - write to the moderators.

Just stop bringing this up and let the past slowly lapse into the past.

Telly: Thanks for the connection. I will definitely want to participate when I can. Both my knees are gone and I'm nearly cripple. I have to lose weight before I can have replacement. But I can still read it and be inspired!

We're putting in a pool so that even before the replacements I can start getting exercise. I can't join a spa and swim there - just too embarrassed to go out in public in a suit. Actually it's the cellulite that's so disgusting. Even more incentive to exercise! I do arm exercises while I'm seated and a few side leg lifts, but that's about all I can manage right now. Or maybe I should think about a full body tattoo and who would know?!:heh:

Fee...I .. as well as you have the absolute right to post in every single thread. Duhhh?!

It seems that some people do not like it when a person defends themselves.

I HAVE NEVER ever seen her put down a newbie. In fact, she was the first on many occaision, to help a newbie ..giving them valuable info, always.

Are you new?

Ya know ;) what I can't figure out is why people have to be glad anyone is banned. If you don't enjoy reading what someone else writes, why respond? Unless of course, you're looking for a fight. I mean if someone writes something I consider to be an insult I just ignore them and move on. There's gotta be fun to had elsewhere. :biggrin1:

Newbies have to take plenty of hits. Afterall, I can't tell you how many times I've seen people ask what a PB is or what a TOM means, and I'm a newbie! For veterans, it's got to get old. But why not ignore it if you don't want to hear it? What's the big deal? Saying something snide back is silly. But as a newbie, I figure that a person who tries to insult me, instead of making a joke out of it or helping me:help: has issues way beyond mine. And I feel sorry for them and ignore them. C'est la vie! :straight

I LOVE Steel Magnolias. The cemetary scene just kills me every single time.. I laugh my ass off and cry at the same time.

It's the first movie that made me sob uncontrollably and then burst into laughter in the very next scene. In fact, it may the the ONLY movie that has been able to do that.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
