I hate it when people post just to post.....

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

PJTP-I finally have a NSV! I bought (and fit into) size 14 pants!:thumbdown: They are khaki Dickie pants. They are a little snug on the thighs, but I have room in the waist! Holy crap!

Can you please PM me the info on that, Luluc? I've been stuck at 81kg for MONTHS now and it's driving me crazy.

Holy crap is right! Congrats on fitting the Dickie! :unsure:

I'm about ready to put them in plastic wrap until they're done. :thumbdown:

Ironic Lu our dogs eat the same food.

5 shakes a day to weigh 113..

Ok, stop teasing. Give us the entire story behind this.

By the way, you look awesome in your avi.:thumbdown:

oh - it's just a running joke.

i'm a fan of the 5 day pouch test - there are MANY here that are agast' about it, it's not shakes all day as it sounds.

but i've had 1 gain over xmas & 2 plateaus in the last 2yrs .....the diet jump started things in the right direction.

many do it to get off sweets & carbs to get back on track. i see no harm / no foul in something that may/may not work for some.

btw brandy - Red is 112lbs right now:)

ROFL sorry guys it is a joke no biggies. But I bet if you drink 5 shakes a day you can get there. Although that doesnt sound like fun to me sounds like slim fast.

haha omg good ol red weighs almost as much as you!

Oh I think I need a fill. I just ate my weight in food.... for the first time in a year.

pretty day in dallas, however i'm a bit over 100 degree days......wouldn't mind if a cold front moved in:)

It was low 90's here with low humidity. It felt like autumn!! So nice!

Then again, like most men, he is a wuss.

You serious? I'm so tough I could be a bouncer for the Double Deuce ("Roadhouse" joke).

The one thing I WILL warn you about, however, is when you eat fatty foods, they kinda go through you. :blushing:

I don't understand what you.....oh.

I am contemplating the 5 shakes a day get to 113 diet!

Howz about I just give you one really violent shake? Could cause weight loss...

W00t!!11

Howdy, hello, and boo hoo. Thanks for all the kind words. I'll totally post a new thread about my (former) doc as soon as things clear up a bit. I wanna warn people!! I need to contact the Board of Healing Arts too. More later.

So, I had a very nice PM from Headhunter. Made me tear up :sneaky:. But now I see his avi says Suspended under it. Anybody know what's up? I wanna respond but can't. Any gossip or fights on threads would be welcome now. I need a distraction.:blushing:

Yay for NSVs, sorry the doggies have the poos, sorry for anyone facing job loss, gall stones suck, whoo hoo on the new pants size, plain is still freaky :thumbup: so all is normal there. I'm sure I forgot some of your posts but I'll do better next time...I promise :w00t:. I'm still kinda reeling from last night. It was so "fun" when the hosp called today to give me my surgery instructions for Thurs. Apparently my doc's office didn't give them the news...seems a bit irresponsible, huh?

Take care everyone and thanks again! I'd appreciate any news on HH. Thanks.

TPG~ Damn girl you have had a day! Hope you are doing okay, I know it is disappointing, but I am sure everything will work out for the better.

Beth~ Men are wussies! I hope DH is feeling better this afternoon. Sorry about the news on the job front - that is a major stressor!

Poor pups! That is no fun. I have one with a super sensitive stomach and if he eats anything out of the ordinary it is coming up or spraying out! EWWW! I can't tell you how many times I have had to clean the carpets for mulitple days before he is feeling better.

Michelle~ I so hope you can make the trip North - I would really love to meet you in person! But I do know how money issues change plans and you have to do what is best for the family. We live month to month and I don't know what we would do if one of us wasn't working right now. Thoughts and prayers go out to you!

Ebony~ Hope the neck is better and yes I meant massage! Kind of like the kids that are going to collage! Always makes me laugh, when I see that!!!

PJTP: Oh man did we have volleyball drama at school today. I bunch of the sophs and juniors were cut in favor of the younger kids. The new crop of froshs are really strong and the head coach is still in a program building phase, so the shit hit the fan when teams were posted! So glad that DD is graduated and did not have to be in the middle of it. I just supported coach because she made the right decisions but it will be miserable for the next two days and then life will go on!

Saw my surgeon for my 1 year post-op. I have lost weight in the last couple of months since I was in last. I am have been playing some head games with myself and realize that it is old eating issues coming up and lurking over my shoulder! Damn head games!

He is very impressed with the work I have done this past year. However, he wants to see me in 3 weeks. I have to hide the scale for the next 3 weeks - WTF! I am on the scale almost every morning, it is my crutch, but he is thinking not so much a crutch but a way to punish myself. I have to eat 3 full meals every day and have a high protein snack when I exercise. He thinks that I am not eating enough to fuel my body for the exercise that I am doing and that is part of the reason that I have had a major slow down. We will see. I have to work on getting this done and see if I lose weight when he sees me in Sept! OMG, I think I might go crazy without my scale. I am allowed to keep it until Friday, which I use as my official weigh in day.

Okay, I know this is minor compared to what the rest of you are going through, but I needed to get it off my chest. Somebody out there needs to keep me honest!

Hope everyone has a nice quiet restful evening and tomorrow brings new happiness and joy!
