Re: Wow

There is none ... but that is why it is under lessons board. The deal here is that we have a community. People do other things than just diet. In our community we cant talk and educate each other in things outside of Diet.

Re: Wow

OH, OK. So lets add gambling to our list of addictions. Then you can form another board!! Good idea..........

Re: Wow

well said. Lessons about things is one thing, but to select something that is addictive and exposing folk who already have addictive personalities is very dangerous grounds on a support board.

Re: Wow

I believe that as soon as we bring up other topics, such as "How to condition bicycles", "How to dry hydrangeas", "How to winterize the yard", the poker thread will end up pretty well buried in with every other discussion.

Some people have shopping obsessions. Does that mean we ought not start a "Good deals" thread?

As with everything, I believe moderation and common sense are they key.

Re: Wow

Common sense as in "stick with me and I'll make you a pro" gambler?? Please. I remember many threads being requested that actually had something to do with Atkins, and them being battled or refused. This makes no sense to me.

Re: Wow

Re: Wow

Should i put a disclaimer on the board?

Re: Wow

I dont really consider poker gambling ... it is a sport.

WOW! That is really scarey Tom! I cannot believe you just said that. You are obviously oblivious to the reality.

Re: Wow

well tell that to the people sitting in the 12 step programs ....

Re: Wow

with EVERYTHING in life addiction is a possiblity. So i guess we shouldn't talk about anything on this board that doesn't consist of the atkins diet in itself............how fun.... and I think tom is partly right, these days poker really is a sport, one that can be addictive.....yes.....but to alot of people it is a sport.

Re: Wow

Ahhh galosh, I am not going to debate with you. You have not been here long enough to know what I would be talking about.
