Also, it is an "enter at your own risk" kinda thing....you are not forced to go through and read it to get to other info. You can avoid this forum entirely when you don't want to get in the mud. That is what I love about it.
Although, some people don't understand that. There was a massive fight a few months ago because some idiots didn't understand that they were adults, and as such, weren't forced to go into a thread they didn't like. THey were trying to get all RnR and Talk Lounge threads removed from the New Posts section.

Yep, definitely agree with that. I've not had more than two or three sips of beer in my life, which was (and is, for that matter) definitely unusual in the university world. I don't mind a glass of sweet wine (although, not my favorite) or a sweet cocktail, but I don't generally drink. I think a lot of people think I'm either a Mormon or a recovering alcoholic, since I always turn down alcohol.

I have a policy to never turn down alcohol. You see, just tonight there was a bottle of GREAT Mexican wine that kept calling my name.

"BubbleButt... ohhhhhhhhhh BuuuuuuuuuubbleButt, come over here Bubble."

Well, I couldn't be rude.

I don't drink either, I just joke about it. Due to advanced liver disease (credited to my obesity, not alcohol), I must avoid liver damaging things as much as possible. My doc says some people can be 400 pounds for years and keep a perfect liver, but some of us at under 300 ruin our liver.

I remember that. Those were the same people that didn't feel they were capable of ignoring thread titles. Of course, they were the folks posting the most.

It most certainly is. I couldn't care less. I didn't gain 150 pounds living vicariously through someone else. What are the odds that SandyR will give me permission to post her pm's? This is what OH says that I need to post them on the board. Ok, I'm almost 5 months post op and I had two Cosmos. I'm not following the rules. When will the band police arrive at my house?
Post them here, instead, and then link to it. You won't be breaking any OH rules, I don't think.

Oh, of course. And the ringleaders were folks who don't even come to the board anymore, at least not that I've seen recently. What the hell do they care?

So I have to tell you about this cool wine I have. It's from Mexico, limited edition, only a small amount made, and YUMMY!

This is going to sound weird but it's true. It's a red wine with a hint of cocoa Beans and fresh vanilla. Amazingly, it's quite good.

The store didn't have much when I was there, next time I go back I'll see if they have more but I kinda doubt it. I was supposed to go this weekend but the trip was canceled at the last minute. That leaves me and my wine.

Come to speak of it, that reminds me of OH, too. People can't just look past the single thread they don't like, they have to complain to the mods that it's "taking up too much space and being posted too often." WTF? It's ONE freakin' thread. Pull up your big girl panties and ignore it.

It all depends. If it has to do with Sandy it's pulled. Can't have truth come out, that would be a horror.

Don't forget the bashing posts that are obviously about Wendell or Dee or newbies they think are Wendell or Dee but really aren't. Those are completely ignored by the mods.

And yes, it would be so horrible to have the truth about Sandy come out. After all, warning anyone on the board about her would be impossible and mean, since that would be invading her privacy and betraying her trust. And we can't do that.

That sounds interesting. I love all kinds of wine.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
