I should have said he should have at least read up to the end of induction. Hee Hee.
Y'know, when things are typed, it's hard to know who is talking to who and directing what at who, so let me just say, I'm not arguing with anyone here about anything and if any of you ladies would like a shoulder rub and a cup of tea, then just give me a shout.

I agree Barbe, I think a new rule should be if you can't be nice, move on. This same thing came up earlier this month when a member said he was going to cheat and I really felt sorry for the guy/gal and got a PM from him/her saying how hurt he/she was. We don't have to hurt folks feeling to be tactful. We can answer their questions without digging in the sword.

I agree Lynn. Geez. So many times it's a simple question that never gets answered, just a lot of emotional replies.

Jenny, I thought as you did right up until he said he hadn't even read the book!!!

Most of the people on these boards are great and their advice is probably worth its weight in gold to us and we all wish each other the best.

Dear Mr. President, (I LOVE that!!!! ) something you may not have thought of is the fact that not everyone retains what they have read. When you were a child (and even now, at times), did you ever ask a question when it had already been answered? Some people do not retain the information they read - just part of their makeup. My thought is that we should all practice more patience, even if it means repeating ourselves. Spoken like a mom, huh????

The guy is too nice and rolls with the comments of the ladies who may need to do something beside post on this board with 90% of their waking lives.

OK, Tommy. I'm not even gonna touch this one!

*Talking in lisp*
I think its time we just bring it in and have a nice big group hug.

Re: I hate to stir this up but it's bugging me

I havent even read the whole book. Still if some of those people come at me like that we are having problems. The guy is too nice and rolls with the comments of the ladies who may need to do something beside post on this board with 90% of their waking lives.

If the ladies did do something besides post on this board 90% of their waking lives, you'd be so bored, Mr. Uncle!!!

Good point Jen and HEY...

Let's all just look at Tommy's perfect belly button instead.

Re: I hate to stir this up but it's bugging me

Now I feel guilty for semi lashing out.

Re: I hate to stir this up but it's bugging me

LOL that is the deepest belly button in the history of the world, I once thought I had a piece of lint in it but it was an entire pair of levis!

Re: I hate to stir this up but it's bugging me

I cant believe I posted a picture of my nipples on the internet.

Re: I hate to stir this up but it's bugging me

I maybe start a belly button pic post.
Heck Tommy, we're the good guys remember?

Re: I hate to stir this up but it's bugging me

First off, Congrats Barb on saying something someone should have said a long time ago.

Perhaps someone should make a sticky of what the book says about cheats, or is there one and I've just ignored it, for folks who have questions like this.

I think too much time is wasting trying to convince people not to "cheat" or something like that. If someone has already made up their mind to do this, chances are that they have already evaluated the consequences and have decided that this is worth it to them. We're all adults here ('cept for the teens) and we all can make up our own minds.

Support board means support, it means having someone to be there and help you brush off the dust when you fall off the wagon, and to offer you advice on things that they have experienced that you haven't, it's not supposed to be a place where one person looks for advice and the people who don't agree don't bother giving advice, but spend their time writing how wrong the person is.

On another note, if one does their research well, they can probably come up with how to do Atkins correctly with available online resources, I didn't read the book completely before starting on my own (second time), but I did sign up here which gave me so much more information and advice and opinions than I ever had before. Of course this was back in the day when people didn't need to each other.

Hehe oh ya. Are you an outtie or and innie? You know what I just thought? Not only does wedding cake have a super high carb count but it also DESTROYS the sex drive of the human female.
