WHY are people voting for McCain?

Can't LBT be a religious-free zone? Wasn't that brought up at one point and agreed upon or am I dreaming?:thumbup:

Only one more day to the election:

i dont think it will end here tomorrow.... people will start (multiple) posts on how and why their candidate should have won and that there was a rigged election going on...

blah blah blah blah blah.....

Well, considering places like Madison County, Mississippi has 123% of their population registered to vote, voter fraud is a real issue. From Mississippi voter rolls filled with dead voters: - Ballotpedia

October 28, 2008

Madison County, Mississippi has 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18. 486 people on the list of registered voters are over 105. 190,000 new voters have registered for the 2008 election.

Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says, "It is terrible. Combined with the fact that we don't have voter ID in Mississippi, anybody can show up at any poll that happens to know the people who have left town or died -- and go vote for them. Whenever we have a third party determined by payment, for example, as they did in Benton County -- 'walking-around' money -- and they determine what that vote is going to be, they've taken your vote, whether they may have voted like you would have or not, they've still thwarted the process and they've still taken your vote away from you."[1]

LOL, he did? Interesting...

I wish Nostradamus would have predicted a good president for us. :thumbup:

I kind of don't hate McCain. I think he would be a much much better president than our previous one, at least. He's still not getting my vote, but...

I liked him better five years ago.

What do you not like about him? Just curious.

Yeah, they should have counted the military's absentee ballots. Hanging chads went both ways.

I can't understand why we don't use fingerprints in our election. Wouldn't that help eliminate voter fraud and keep felons and illegals from voting? They have computers that can read fingerprints.

There's got to be something that can be done. With the technology we have, the presence of fraud is ridiculous. Last night I watched . . . oh, never mind, here it is so you can watch it yourself:

Breitbart.tv

I don't care which way the fraud is going; it's fraud, and it makes a sham of democracy.

Unlikely to happen, considering in many states you don't have to present identification to vote. BTW, any idea which side fought to defeat laws that require identification to vote?

i actually LOVE that idea.

A lot of conspiracy minded people would not, I imagine.

I like the idea too.

Obviously what we have been doing doesn't work that great.

OMG...that is horrible! Oh nooooooooo, that is really too sad. My father passed away a couple of years ago...I think that he would be shocked and so proud to see Obama running for President. If Obama wins...I certainly hope that my dad somehow is able to see our country's first African-American President.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
