I may be wrong but i doubt im the only one who has felt like you have a holier than thou attitude

No, you are not. That is why so many have her blocked. This was a fun topic and then... she started posting and most left. It's just not worth it.

Wasa put me on ignore simply because I don't agree with him. We are on total opposite ends of the spectrum. He is an atheist and I am a born again christian. At every chance he gets, he feels the need to tell people that there is no such thing as God, and I do the opposite. He didn't like that I spoke the truth to him, so he is like those Pharasees in the bible who tore their clothes and put their fingers in their ears when Jesus claimed to be God come in the flesh. They just didn't want to hear it. Wasa is like that. He just doesn't want to hear it. He only wants to hear what his itching ears want to hear, not the truth. It had nothing to do with my attitude, cause his attitude was the same, only the opposite belief as mine.

This holier than thou attitude that you feel I have is complete nonsense. I will be the first to tell anyone that I am a sinner and have not lived as I should before God. I am thankful to God for my salvation, because I know that I would be lost without him. There isn't a day that goes by where I am free from my faults. This holier than thou attitude you feel I have is because I am not one to mince words. I tell it like it is. There is no need to sugar coat what God has said. If people hate me, I just remember that God said, "If they hate and reject you, just remember that they hated and rejected me first."

I think i see the problem you cant look at what you have said objectively so any further discussion would be utterly pointless.

You are the type of person that has difficulty looking at the big picture of things and that is fine.

but as for this situation as hard as it is for me i will just have to wash my hands.:thumbup:

Uh....your particular God has failed to inform you (via the divine revelation that you are apparently privy to) that Wasa is not a "him".

HA! My avatar does make it a real head scratcher!

I have Patty on ignore because I find her rambling, closed minded attitude, and the inability to form an opinion without checking her bible first - beyond annoying. There are lots of people I don't agree with (seen my posts lately? Heh...) but there are only two I have blocked, patty and GadgetLady.

I find the better than thou, my way is the only way, you are allll wrong and I'm the only correct person tedious and belittling. When someone has nothing of value for me I find it a waste of their time to read their posts.

I gotta give you a hats off for being able to tolerate it.

I'm with you i remember the issues that gadget lady brought to my Obama threads.

i think the biggest problem with that attitude is that there is no room for people to live together in their scenario. It is that type of thinking that lead to atrocities such as the crusades, the genocides in Rwanda, Darfur, Kosovo, and other places. yes i have different beliefs and yes i think they are best... but i can force anyone to live a certain way without breaking the commandments that i live my life by. so we all have to learn now to live with each other dispite our differences and have intelegnt and respectful conversations and dialog about said issues.

Wasa is one to talk. She is the one who doesn't feel I have anything of value to say. She admits that and also says it wastes her time to read what I have to say. Who's the disrespectful one? Imagine if I said that I was wasting my time talking with her because she brings me nothing of value. What others have to say, whether they agree with your values and morals and way of thinking, can always bring something to the table. She is the one who is closeminded!

I get tired of people being cruel and insensitive to me and saying things about me that simply aren't true. I get tired of people like YOU calling me names and then feeling justified to do so. People who claim to be christians, yet act sooooooooo unchristlike. Who do you think you are trying to tell me that I am judgmental and give me advice about how to be a better witness for Christ and then turn around and call me a bit*h? People like Wasa and you should heed Jesus' advice about taking the plank out of their own eye before they try to remove a sliver from someone elses. This has nothing to do with being 10 (childish), it has everything to do with being kind. All I have ever done on this particular thread was answer some questions as I believe the bible has taught. You didn't like my answers or something? I am done with you. I give you to God. BTW, I'm waiting for your apology.:thumbup: .........yeah right. I didn't think so. You call someone a bit*ch and justify it. Some Christian.

Patty, Patty, Patty;

Please take my advice.

Go see the Doctor who does your fills.

Ask him to remove a few cc's.

I do believe that your band is too tight....it appears to have cut off the blood supply to your brain.

And you're suggesting that ANY of this dialogue IS productive?

stay on the right path she will eventually come around

and even if she never does our integrity will be intact.

flat out poking fun never helps

The problem is with her attitude getting one in return probably wont help the situation.

no matter how good it feels.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
