I like a lot of things about LBT. Often, however, things can get so serious and/or melancholy when we share our problems and concerns.

That's all important, but woudn't it be great if there was a "lighter side" section where people could read/post things like the following:

A) funny anecdotes

funny comic strips

C) "chicken soup" cheer-up posts

D) fun poking fat/skinny jokes (nothing offensive of course)

E) etc.

Having been a "class clown" all my life, I recently posted this funny pic on Facebook and I wanted to post it here on LBT somewhere but couldn't find just the right area so this lighter side thingy came to mind.

This pic had the caption given to my facebook friends: "As you can see this LapBand tool is really reducing my size."

The moral of the story is. If the weight is not coming off fast enough, don't fret about it and simply consider Photoshop and hope "The Law of Attraction" will kick in!

I used to be an active member of a low carb board and it had a section such as this.....it was called "the playground" and boy did we have some laughs!

Albacheeser, what a nut!!!

I LOL'ed at that pic, you are definitley the class clown!

Thanks for the laugh!!!

Yes it's a good idea. We do have a couple of off topic areas but they seem to be aimed at rants and raves more than fun stuff.

I think there is an LBT suggestions forum. Maybe you should post your idea there as I think that is the area that Alex looks at.

LOL! I really really like the "playground" idea and agree. Things here ARE intense it seems like, either the "I climbed the mountain!" type (with appropriate background music, tears all around, etc) or the "The mountain FELL on me" type (ditto ditto) but life is rarely that absolute. I vote YES on this proposition!

LOL love the photo!

I think this is a great idea. Especially since I recently had gall bladder surgery and had some bad post-surgery depression. I'm already planning for things to brighten my day for after I get my band so I DON'T get so depressed after surgery again. (looking for funny movies, etc)

Having something to cheer you up really makes life so much easier. :biggrin:

it took me a few seconds to get the size of the photos-

real funny

humor helps

please add these ideas

I think it would be great! I love the picture. Good luck on the weight lose. Barb

We could easily start a new section in the Social Groups (cp User).
