What is rep power anyway???????

I don't know a lot about it. It was a feature that was apparently short lived. If you did or did not like someones post you could rate it. Agree or Disagree. Then the more positives they got the higher the rep power number. It's gone now, as it should be.

No it isn't.

Free speech has to do with dealing with the gov't. When on a privately owned message board or piece of property, you do not have any rights to free speech.

It would be like my coming over to your house and using your house for my free speech that everyone must eat 10lbs of sugar and carbs daily. Do I have that right?

You have a one track mind. Read her post and you will see that the same right she has to vent,so does someone else have that same right. It has nothing to do with this site.

The Constitution that says you have free speech, that you are claming is the same right we have to "rant" it is also free speech!
What? :)

You have been nothing short of wonderful and have responded to my questions with sincerity and knowledge. So what if you went off a little-"sticks and stones---------" Put it behind you and go on with the good.

Fran

I agree with Fran that you have responded several times to my questions when others didnt. I appreciated that. We all have opinions, what would it be like if we were all the same...... BORING!!

Someone needs to repeat 10th grade Gov't class. There are no rights here.

You miss the point. she has as much right as someone else to rant on a THREAD THAT IS ALL ABOUT RANTING. It has nothing to do with your 10 grade class!

It says a lot about you Laurend that you would go public and apologize like that. A bold person and humbled as well.

The rep. option is something I think should be removed anyway. I'm glad it was decided to remove it. I Admin. another Vbulletin website and the rep. comments are a pain in the butt. People actually track their number like counting signatures in their high school yearbook. It's tough enough to moderate threads that are serious and then someone goes and reports a negative rep. "I didn't deserve this". Be proud that you are mature enough and strong enough in yourself that you did this on your end. ( I would pos. rep you for it if I could)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
