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

They told me 156 is too low. I feel fine. I have a good BMI, what is the point.

lol...

Who told you that Boo? On top of you feeling fine, you look great! Tell them to pi$$ off I say!

BBK...my doctor was actually happy to see that I had gained a couple of pounds. She was sorry that my medicine made me a raving lunatic that craved sugar like a cocaine addict.

I was NOT happy to see a weight gain. I think you look gorgeous. Now if I could see bones sticking out of everywhere including your ears....I would say too thin. But you look radiant. I think they are jealous!

Dieticians seem to be weird folk. I have had dealings with 2 of them since I got cancer. Both of them were overweight, one morbidly so, and neither of them listens to me. Given that they have weight issues I think that this is pretty arrogant. Given that your BMI is good and you look fabulous I would be inclined to feel comfortable debating your dietician's advice if I were you.

BBK - Is it weird to have people telling you to gain weight? I think I'd feel reallly strange...for 20 years docs have been telling me to LOSE, and if they ever tell me to GAIN, I'd go a little bonkers.

My goal is 145...and I was thinking that was high. How can they be telling you to gain?

Life doesn't make sense. Are they scared you'll lose too much?

The dietician and the PA. They are nuts.:tongue:

It seems that "they" can't get their shit together. I told my surgeon that my brother is 6'5", 170 lbs. He said, "he needs to put on a few" but when I look up weight ranges online, he's perfectly healthy for his frame. WTF?

I hate using library computers. One hour per day is just not enough time for my lap band talk addiction.

BBk, They are probably not letting you exercise, are they? I would freak out if I couldn't exercise. It's my stress reliever. Being unfilled wouldn't be as bad, but being unfilled and not being able to exercise is just plain scary!
