You know what would be really fun?



Recommended Posts

So to my detriment, I am a lazy forum poster. I rarely look at who I am replying to even after I hit submit. I generally don't pay attention to it, in fact, until I get a hot reply. Weird, I know, but I tend to reply to the COMMENT not to the USER.

How great would it be if we had a week of blind posting? People couldn't use their "tells", so I'd have to be conscious of my this/that/theother/etc habit, @@KindaFamiliar couldn't be a creeper, @@Dub couldn't post food porn...

It would be interesting to see how this would effect the rate of reporting, finger pointing, offended peeps, name calling, and on a positive side, which bonds could actually be made when the names started appearing again.

I know, it's just a day dream, but it would be super interesting.

I'm like you, I respond to the comment and not the user.

Unless it's @@KindaFamiliar because it's impossible not to know it's him.

LOL... I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw your title. My first thought was, "What does LipstickLady think would be fun? Whatever it is, it's sure to be interesting!"

I like the idea!

I can think of MUCH more fun things, but I wouldn't want our more "delicate" forum members to start twitching.

I don't know if it is odd or not, but I do the exact opposite. If I find the user to be a total tool, Soup sandwich, drama queen, or mouth breather; I don't bother with a reply. If I have any experience or applicable knowledge AND I deem the person worthy of any effort on my part, only then will I bother with a reply.

I got into a bit of a back and forth with a newb a long time ago about "being better than anyone else". Needless to say we didn't see eye to eye on the issue. I judge people by their words and actions on the forum. That will dictate my words and actions in turn. Doesn't make me popular much of the time, but I can endure the slings and arrows of the sappy ones with great fortitude. It would be an interesting social experiment if we could deduce the poster based upon their content, but ultimately I think it would devolve into a rampant pissing match.

Interesting concept.

I like it.

I'll not post food porn for a while. I know I'll get a twitch......and itch....but I'll not do it.

Gonna be working everyday until Monday anyway. Know this.....on Monday....my grill will be hot and my pitcher of 'ritas will be on ice. Porn goals will be met.

On the serious side......I try....truly do try......to stay with the content. Now.....I may be more reserved on my replies based on who the poster is...my knowledge of their history and perspective come into play. Sometimes, though....a Darwin award winner emerges and I can't hold back....

FTR......I was a Darwin Award Recipient......almost......and then I found this place..............

C'mon LipstickLady. Sod upsetting the assorted delicate little flowers and just go for it!!!!! The more fun things we can have on this site the better. I'm not losing weight to be a miserable old git. I've been too bloody flabby in the past to have fun and so now that the flab is departing my carcass I am gagging for fun in any form........well.......ummm.........almost any form. Well, not illegal or immoral anyway, although come to think of it, there are a few illegal things............maybe not.

Anyhow.....

There is a time for serious discussion and I for one appreciate it but there must be a time for levity too. So, who's coming out to play?

Well, could put Coronation Street on instead. I'd hate to put you off. By the way, how long would it take you to get to Hampton Wick in Surrey, UK? [emoji6]

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
