The Posse Appears, don't worry Tonto their just a bunch of Pussy's. It seem's odd however that you would try to insult me by calling me a women, in case you didn't noticed your a woman.

Sorry I can't be online all the time to answer all your questions but this dam life thing keeps getting in the way. Maybe the Posse should consider getting one, even if you must share it amongst yourselves it would be a step in the right direction.

Hi Ho Silver Away!!!!

WOW, I never read about anyone fighting on here. Or being mean to someone. I guess I haven't been on here long enough.

We are all here for one reason so can't we all just get along?

What ever happened to Rondey King anyway? LOL

Peace, JLOVE69

;)

There are a lot of people who post in rants and raves that have very strong opinions and like to voice them. There are some very heated discussions that

go on here.

I really haven't seen any fighting on any other part of the board. I really don't think of the fights in rants and raves as really fights either. I think of it as people expressing their very strong opinions back and forth.

AND THAT IS WHY I have always preferred to be friends with guys. None of the caddy bullshit & CAT fights you see with women. I hate the crap on some of these threads & can't believe it is from adults.

AMEN to that!! Guess thats why I don't have many female friends outside family I CAN'T STAND drama and BS. Most guys don't bother. And thankfully I know a couple other females who don't wanna live soap opera lives. lol

But my ex was an expert people manipulator. So I have an extra deep hatred for that kind of behavior.

I avoid drama & bs in my life. Family members have enough, I live vicariously through their stories.. and the pots that are stirred in RnR. I have to entertain myself somehow!

I think that getting a Tat is a good idea, that way the bully's are easily identified. Maybe have it placed on the middle of the forehead.

I can't believe my thread got locked. Nobody was even calling each other names in there.

Think of another and we'll try to play nice. :confused:

Yeah but then that would just lead to debate on what one feels actually defines bully. Not everyone has the same perspective.

It's interesting that the Walls of Text thread should be mentioned here. After reading that thread it is easy to see who the bully's are.

Gang mentality is interesting especially if you consider that the gang feels like they are doing nothing wrong because their actions are supported by a large group. The ancient Greeks reffered to this as the tyranny of the masses, they believed that it was the single greatest flaw of democracy.

I rarely agree with you, TommyO, but on this issue (tyranny of the masses) I couldn't agree more. Might -- or majority vote -- doesn't always make right.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
