I just took a closer look at this ad on the right hand side when it popped up on one of the arenas on here. We are giving ad space to an herbal supplement that promotes losing 44 lbs in just 3 mos? Doesn't that go against almost everything that we are trying to convey here?

Seriously, we talk all the time about how there is no magic pill that will make you slim and fit. That you have to work in order to get the results you want with your body. Then, we have an ad on here that is promoting itself to be a "magic pill" of sorts, a fad diet. It does not make any sense to me. If someone comes on here looking for information about the lapband procedure and sees that ad, it looks to them as if it is a viable alternative to exercise, watching what you eat (it actually says "with no dieting") or even having the procedure done.

I know the website either takes on ads to pay for itself or it becomes a subscription only basis, but don't the mods and administrators have some control over the ads being put on here. Can we take that one off of here? It goes against everything I thought this website stood for IMO.

No, it's just that the tapeworm was hanging from the back of my tongue.

And if you watched The Office last week, Kelly tried the tapeworm diet :cool2:

aha...I saw that. That was great.

"My doctor told me to gain weight."

"No, if you gain weight you will DIE."

aha...I saw that. That was great.

"My doctor told me to gain weight."

"No, if you gain weight you will DIE."

Hah hah ah.. I love The Office.

Kelly:I swallowed a tapeworm last night. It's going to grow up to three feet inside of me and then it eats all my food so that I don't get fat. And then, after three months I take some medicine and then I pass it. Creed sold it to me. It's from Mexico.Creed:That wasn't a tapeworm.

I'm still seeing ads about pills and such on here...

Karen’s Diet

is one of them. Annoying ads.

Okay guys, something funny happened today and I just had to share it with you! In class today I was talking to a classmate and told her she was looking good, loosing weight, etc (this is a phys ed class) and she looked right at me and I swear said, "I think I have a tapeworm". After my initial surprise and trying not to bust out laughing, I asked her why she thought that. Keep in mind this girl is very young. She told me she could feel it "swirling around in there". I told her it was probably gas. She was adamant that it was a tapeworm. I couldn't believe we were having this conversation especially after reading this thread just yesterday. Too funny!!

Hah Hah.. I actually knew 1 person who had it when I was growing up. She was older than me by a few years, a church friend.. she was very large.. and she disappeared for a few months.. came back skinny, knock-out, and all the guys wanted her! She said it was a tapeworm, and I was like "You're so lucky!"--I was about 13 then. She told me how miserable it was, she was hospitalized for a month I believe, ended up a year behind in school, etc.

So.. tapeworm diet does work!

trauma.. ? i heard it was a cake walk ...

Out of respect for pregnancy, and LJM and FF....I will avoid a vulgar "vagina + cakewalk" joke. You're welcome. Leave all tips in the tip jar, plz.

Ah, man...I was looking forward to vulgar.

OMG ... i so didnt read vulgar ... (think woman's anatomy)... it's too early i spoze...

I generally see the world through vulgar colored glasses.

How low-key, or how too much, just depends on the location and alcohol consumption.

Yanno - there isn't nearly enough R-rated humor in this world; esp in business. We're trying to be all "PC" and not hurting folks feelings. I say hooey to that and bring on the tacky!!
