Okay, my Rant: People who don't use any punctuation in their posts.



Recommended Posts

LOL - great thread! I've thought this SO many times, and I'm to the point where I don't even bother with the run on sentences, or the grammatically ignorant posts. I'm always glad to give support, but if it's too much work to decipher the question or comment, I'm gone :blink:

When we're typing a lot of thoughts & info on these sites, certainly, we're going to slip on a word here & there. But there are a couple of posters in particular, that I wonder if their keyboard didn't come equipped with a period, or if when they press the period, it comes out as a comma. Boggles the mind......

Nobody came here to be judge! Let people write however they can, they just need a place to get their feelings out while dealing with new experiences, or isn't this one a support group?

If I can easily tell what someone is saying, I'm not too harsh on punctuation.... even as a spelling bee coach and judge i can say some spell well and some just cant. And some of us just love run on sentences

Yes, this is a supportive and helpful group. However, please note that this forum is entitled, "LBT Rants and Raves *** Off-Topic DEBATE AREA ***"

People are going to be RANTING not being supporting.

This is the point ... I have no clue as to what you're trying to say.

I can't help someone, or commiserate, if I don't understand what one is saying (writing).

OK' date=' I've always had this one pet peeve. It's not loosing weight, it's losing weight. It's not loose weight, it's lose weight. Loose means something is not attached. OK, I'm done.[/quote']

I always remember the lose / loose by thinking of the word BOOBS & the 'oo' makes the eww sound LOL

      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.
