Thank God I found this forum....

I don't know if this is the right place for these comments. I've been on another forum where someone who claims to be a nurse and isn't gives out loads of bad information. I pesonally can't take anymore of it, as I hate to see new people misled. I'm hoping this forum is a kinder place to be without fighting and arguing for no reason. I would like to think it is a helpful place to get good information and not be bogged down by this person who is bringing this other forum to its knees.

I have a good friend who told me about this forum called WasABubbleButt..where are you sweetie? I need to hear something positive right now. I am so completely burned out by the meanness I see on this other forum and the small group that is trying to run it. Please someone tell me that this person who claims to be a nurse doesn't belong to this forum....or I won't last long at all.

This is an excellent forum! You will love it for the information and support. As for fighting and arguing, sometimes it happens on any message board, but if it happens here it blows over quickly! Glad your friend recommended this site.

D2D....

It's good to see you over here!!!!!

Yes, there are HUGE differences in LBT vs. that other place. We don't have the drama, the cliques, the petty behaviors here. Nobody is chasing away other people, it's just a nice place to come and relax.

There are disagreements here but as previously stated, they blow over quickly. We prefer to provide support vs. abuse.

There are people here I strongly disagree with regarding politics, religion, current events, etc. but that doesn't mean I wouldn't offer anything I could to help if there was something they needed. I think 99% of the people here feel the same. You'll do well here. We are a lot nicer and much less childish drama. Actually, the only real drama we have is when the people from your old forum come "cheering" (private joke) over here. :drum:

Your old forum isn't about support, it's about a few lonely older women that have little life and the only friends they have are on line and only if they follow the clique rules, regardless of who they hurt in the meantime.

(((HUGS)))

Thanks WasABubbleButt..I was so hoping to hear from you. I'm going to try and get a few good friends to come over here too.

Dear Dreamer,

Welcome . This site has helped me so much.

I had a lot of concerns and could ask or look up my answers here.

There are some REALLY FUNNY peoples here too.

For some really good belly laughs check out "thread killers".

Hey, Being able to disagree is a what makes it fun Bubble.:) I like your feisty posts, even though I don't always agree with what you are saying. Susannah

Hi All, What a great crew to band with. We all need all the encouragement we can get! I am finding out that most us are having the same problems and it helps to know that I am not alone.I should be called sugarstalker! seems it goes down so easy compared to the right foods. Oh well, no one said it would be easy. By the way , why is Rachael Ray's picture on the front page? Has she had the band? Just curios. Thanks.

LOL! :) That's exactly who I thought it was, but I don't think so.
