It's the $*%$^%$ INTERNET!



Recommended Posts

I think that's why people even come to the rants and raves section...on the off-chance they'll get to witness a good, old-fashioned flounce. Heck, even the MODS here will make sure to multi-quote the juicy bits so everyone will have an opportunity to comment on them and up the chance of causing an exceptional flounce. Well-played, Rants & Raves. Well-played indeed.

Hey now! Guilty of multi quoting but not a mod. I did it simply because the one I quoted has a tendency to delete his/her posts and then cry foul that others are abusing him/her. Let the facts speak for themselves.

I don't know why, probably the late hour and the need for sleep, but the cat picture posted a few screens up (flounce flounce) made me think of Toonces the "Driving Cat" ... flounce. You know this cat flounces out to his/her car and flounces on down the road listening to... metal? pop? npr?

Oh my goodness! If YOU don't like a topic, don't reply. Unfollow it, stop reading it. You are in no position to tell people when to post or when to stop. Yeesh!

Oh my goodness! I'd respectfully suggest that if YOU don't like a topic, don't reply. It's really that easy. :)

Best wishes to you.

It's simple. Stop posting in the thread and it will fall off. Every time someone comes in to wag a cyber finger it bumps the topic up.

Someone here just liked a post I made months ago on another thread. Like everything else I've posted here, I'd forgotten what I'd written. ;)

Part of my old post (pasted below) is relevant to this thread's OP and to the upsets that occur from time to time on online forums:

I hope you keep posting authentically and transparently just exactly what you feel / think / are curious about. Besides, nobody's post is ever all they think about a topic or the last thing they will ever think about it.

In many ways, message boards are like a big city where some people grew up, others moved in from smaller towns, and others moved there from different countries. On these boards you find disparate cultures colliding with each other. The most unsophisticated visitors assume that their own personal values and culture are the superior values and cultures and should be reflected by everyone else on the board. They spend a lot of time bitching about how others aren't following their rules, making them more comfortable or meeting their needs.

This is a message board. It's not anything else. And you're not responsible for others' feelings.

IMHO.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
