Well, I came across is again today and have decided that my one true thread killer is When Someone Uses That Font Where Every Word Is Capitalized. I Mean, Are They Doing It On Purpose, Because Frankly It's A Pain In The Ass To Type Every Word Starting With A Capital Letter. Almost As Big A Pain In The Ass As It Is To Read. I Sincerely Hope That It Is A Font Style Because Otherwise I Have To Question The User's Sanity. When I Come Across This Type Of Post, If I Look At All (Usually Not), It's To See If It Looks Like It Might Be Worth The Time And Irritation To Read It Through.

Normally, I see it an move on. Who cares what it says.

Dear DonnaB,

Actually, I don't think it's something they do on purpose. It's a formatting issue.

Now.. don't you feel bad for that, Donna? Shame on you for being such a meaniehead.

Love, P'Nutz

I do have a pet peave which drives my eyes a different direction when I see it. It's when a person types a long story and they do not separate thoughts or ideas. They bunch it all into one huge paragraph. It is usually or approximately 1,000 words in length, all smushed together.

It hurts me to try and read it that way, it also bores me to no end.

I think this is a complaint.

I personally find the thread posts that are a single massive block of text that dont have any kind of punctuation or line breaks very difficult to read I personally am not sure exactly how people can comprehend exactly what the poster is trying to say and as a result it can kill a thread this combines with the confusion on where one particular sentence begins and another ends compounds the problem of over legibility and comprehension personall I think its time we really aayed attention to how we type and more importantly what we type and when so that the general masses can understand I often wonder if such posts are written out of a desire to confuse or because the individual is merely unconcerned and is just getting whatever the issue is off the chest but I think on the whole we could really do with the punctuation and line breaks to make things easier so that we can provide adequate support to all posters regardless of subject or content man this typing without punctuation is killing me once upon a time there was a squirrel names squirry and he went for an adventure in the deep dark forest of Argh Squirry was a brave squirrel and didnt fear the haunted forest which was stupid because a big ass demon from the pits of hell sprang forth and devoured his soul for all eternity thanks for playing kids game over etcetera

Ooooh! I think reading all caps (even though it IS like being yelled at) is easier on the eyes than the uppsy, downsy, capitalized writing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
