  • Becoming a Supporting Member...please read!

    Why become a Supporting Member? It strengthens our unity and support for ADBB. Can we do this without becoming a Supporting Member? Of course, many are doing it right now. Everyone is important to building the support and community of ADBB. However, with one yearly donation that costs less than the price of our monthly payment for our internet connection we get some cool perks. Fun things like more pm space, our own gallery, and even our own forum.



    Why did I personally become a Supporting Member? One reason is because I don’t know if I could have lost 80lbs without the help and support of ADBB. I wanted to show my thanks to Tom and his commitment to not only to our country but also the well being of ADBB. So many people have helped me along the path on this way of life. When I want to vent, share, or just get a pat on the back there is always someone here for me. I want to help make ADBB as strong of a community as it can be. One can actually profit from becoming a Supporting Member because it helps to strengthen our commitment to this way of life. It’s much harder to be tempted to lapse back into our old eating habits. At least it has for me.



    What if you can’t afford $15? The ADBB admins understand this and they will work with you. Just give them a pm. They love pm’s! Everyone knows that sometimes the pocket book can be a little lean so figure out what you’re comfortable with and give them a pm or an e-mail.



    “What if I don’t want to become a Supporting Member?” That’s cool too. People have their reasons and are very entitled to them. However, all I ask is for the people who feel that way to reflect on the positive impact ADBB has had for them. If you’re still not sure if you want to contribute please stay. Like mentioned already everyone here is an important part of the ADBB support structure. Each member is vital and welcome!



    Some of you may be wondering I made this post. Because being a Supporting Member is actually fun and rewarding and I want others to get the most out of ADBB like I am. I enjoy having my own gallery space to post pictures of whatever I like. The Supporting Members forum is full of great people and I want everyone here to get the full enjoyment of being part of our ADBB community! Thank you to all who took the time to read this!

      I also love being a supporting member. It gives you a feeling of "ownership" and if I see something that I think could be fixed or changed or improved or added ordeleted, I can voice my opinion. Its something like voting. LOL

                      I just made a donation via Paypal this morning. Now I'm wondering if I should have put my ADBB username in the comments field, or will they somehow know that it was me by the email address?

                      Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

                        Hmmm. I'm not sure.

                        Did you turn in a counter-clockwise circle three times while whistling "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", and finish it up with a hop-skip-dip-tootsie roll-butterfly move. If you remembered to do all that, you should have had the secret handshake emailed to you already

                            I figure I'll just wait a while and see if my stars show up.

                            I've never tried a "hop-skip-dip-tootsie roll-butterfly move", and if I did, I don't think it'd be pretty!

                            Thanks for the replys!
