Unfortunately not at this time. Sometimes I am able to follow a reasonable food plan. If I could figure out what controls which time is which, I’d be a happy person.
I think you’re very brave to share you emotional problem with us, and I wish you the best in overcoming it. With hard work, maybe someday you won’t be embarrassed by stuff that has nothing to do with you. Keep reaching for the stars!
Thank you Leander–you nailed it. And Lynn you missed the point. You are trying valiantly to hold onto some sort of authority as an admin! of this message board–yet you have no idea that when people picture you, they think of that poor soul who grew into her toilet. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,337232,00.html
For crissakes woman, have some respect for yourself.
Go to hell. We discuss more icky details about everyone else’s life here on a daily basis.
You’re just attacking Lynn because she’s staff, you spiteful little piss ant troll.
Where am I going? Why am I in this handbasket??
Oh, that’s right, I offended you and your overweigt, disgusting bretheren. I double cross my heart and swear to god that I am not just trolling. I truly think that Lynn is miserable. I think that she is mentally ill, in addition to her enormous physical problems (no pun intended). If Lynn spent half of the time working on herself, rather than enjoying her “power” on this message board, she might become a happier person.
I will be sure to pass this on to my psychiatrist (who said a couple of years ago that I don’t need therapy any more, just to stay on my meds), my GP (who is very pleased at my weight loss, and approves of my general health care, including my exercise program, and says that I’m doing what is possible)(and he’s particularly happy that I turned down his offer of a prescription for a cripple cart) and my endocrinologist. Just what are your credentials again? And I don’t remember going in to your office and taking any tests at all. I’m sure I would have remembered. How many vials of blood did you take? How long did you assess me? I know how many colonoscopes I’ve had, and other GI tract exams. I remember each one. Which doctor were you? And I don’t remember showing you one of the many medical logs that I’m supposed to keep.
You don’t know much at all about me. I post some things about my medical problems, but I actually leave most stuff out. I don’t think that you are qualified to diagnose me, nor do I think that you had any intention of helping me. I think that you (and the other two) are only trying to hurt me, for whatever reason. I must be very, very important to you, for you to have read my posts so closely that you feel qualified to pass judgement on my mental and physical health.
You still don’t get it. I don’t care if you’re an admin or a mental patient. I don’t want to hear about your disgusting habits or bowel movements or fatness.
Why is this so hard for you to understand??
Then don’t read my posts. Really. I know that you can’t put me on ignore. I can’t put posters on ignore, either. However, I am perfectly capable of skipping over people’s posts, if I know from past experience that it’s unlikely that they’ll say anything that I’m interested in. I only skim certain people’s posts if I think they’re likely to violate a rule, and that’s only so I can take appropriate action. If I post a warning or other mod note, I make sure to put “MOD NOTE” or similar language at the start of the post. Since I hardly do any moderating at all these days, you don’t risk much if you will just check to see if I’m making a mod note. Please, don’t feel obligated to read my posts if you find them distasteful. I SWEAR to you, I will not force you to read them. I won’t spring a pop quiz, your membership will not be in jeopardy if you ignore the posts that I make as a regular poster.
If you continue to read and complain about my posts, I can only conclude that you have some sort of obsession with me, and frankly, I think THAT is indicative of a mental problem. Hell, I don’t read my posts as closely, or give them as much thought, as you and a couple of other people seem to do. It’s not like I’m one of the most interesting posters on this board. I don’t think that your SDMB experience will greatly suffer if you just skip over most of my posts.
OK, a disclaimer: I don’t read most posts, indeed, I don’t read most threads, if I don’t think that I’ll be interested in them. There are some posters on the SDMB that I think are very boring, but basically harmless. I just skip right over their posts, unless I get a report on a particular post. If I see a thread about the merits of various cars, for instance, I won’t read them, unless I think I might want to purchase that particular car in the future. I stay out of just about every sports thread, because I’m just plain not interested. If I see a spam thread, I WILL open it…long enough to wish the thread into the cornfield and ban the user. If I see a spam thread on another message board, then guess what? I ignore it.
In other words, I really don’t have any intention of changing my habits to suit a couple of complainers, especially since I think that these complainers would not be happy unless I completely quit the SDMB. Ain’t gonna happen. You’d better just deal with it.
You know, though, there are people who genuinely like to read what most everyone writes. You add a lot to discussions (even if sometimes you serve as uppity administrator entertainment value) and I usually read everything you write, however I have to agree with the other posters. There are some things you just shouldn’t be so… I don’t know… open about. Why can’t you just say, “Yeah, I can see your point. I don’t HAVE to talk about my bowels and my health problems and didn’t realize I was doing it. Sorry about that.” Or the question could be, why MUST you talk about your bowels and health problems? Why do you consider this a “habit?”
I have an Applebee’s I can walk to from my house in 2 minutes. I had never been before so I tried it. Like the OP said, I stared at the menu for 5 minutes and couldn’t find one thing that piqued my interest. I finally settled on some kind of burger and spent the rest of my meal picking gristle and bone chunks out of my USDA rejected burger.
I figured every place needed a second try when my friend wanted to go to lunch there. I ordered a fajita. The flour shells were dry and crumbly, like they were old. I got 50 slices of raw green peppers, 50 of slices of raw onion and 2 measly pieces of overcooked bland chicken. Bleh. I’m done.
The parking lot is always full and I just don’t get it.
It must be mental illness. I see no other reason for anyone *under any circumstances *to discuss in great detail their bowel problems. Unless Lynn grew up in a barn.
And this comment
is so ridiculously and transparently stupid that it boogles the mind. Yes, complaining about someone going on and on about their fatness and bowels must mean we have mental problems! :rolleyes:
As DrDeth pointed out, there are a number of posters here who have discussed TMI details of their lives, including health issues. I don’t remember anybody ever piling on any of them for doing so, and I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue in this thread.
Applebee’s doesn’t have ANY $12 salads. Link: http://www.applebees.com/Menu_Garden.aspx
I am expressing no opinion on the appropriateness of Lynn’s bringing it up in this thread, in this manner, etc., whatever (I haven’t been paying close enough attention to it to comment on that). But to say no one should “under any circumstances … discuss in great detail their bowel problems” is to go too far. Surely, for any topic, all that matters is whether the speaker wants to talk about it and the audience is receptive to hearing it. And even for detailed descriptions of bowel problems, it’s certainly not beyond conceivable that some would want to hear about it, join in discussion of it, and so on, particularly on this board, as has been pointed out. And there’s nothing wrong with that. So… you know… whatever.
How is Lynn discussing how Applebee’s and her bowels don’t get along any worse than the OP describing his Applebee’s-induced technicolor yawn?
It’s only an issue because a couple of trolls are finding it a way to attack Lynn, solely because she’s an Admin. My WAG is that they are both sockpuppets, long banned from this board.
I have eaten at Applebee’s once, like another poster stated, to see what all the fuss was about. The food was edible, and that was about it. The bill was enough that I felt pretty ripped off. Never again. Didn’t get sick. We would have spent probably 1/2 as much money at Mimi’s Cafe and had a much better meal. To hell with Applebee’s.
And** Lynn**, have you tried any probiotics for your digestion? Look in a health food store for the ones in the refrigerator. They are a little more costly then the ones you get at Walgreens, but they may help you, and it would certainly be worth a try.
Jesus. You’re not telling the truth. You fuckin love it when a grown adults says something like this, because it gives you an opportunity to exercise on on the many pitiful little things you do to make yourself feel mature–you mock them for it. It’s really pitiful.
