Geriatric MM Warriors!

[Barb F.]

If we are afraid they won't like democratic process, maybe it's not the best idea then?

I don't know. Maybe my hunger today is making me cranky I feel uncomfortable with this for two reasons. 1) A newbie pops up that has never posted before and starts criticizing Diane, based on assumptions. Would she have been the type to start criticizing others? 2) And call me an old pessimist, but she could be anybody just to get in and see what we're doing...

Good point, Barb. Even if you are cranky-pants. We love you anyway!

I just entered my word doc:

Cindy – I was told a long time ago to take magnesium capsules for your problem. I take one in the AM and one at night. I find that I am eating a lot more veggies on MM so really do not have a problem. I also add some psyllium for just to be sure!! Are you taking the fish oil, too??

I would be cautious about people we don’t know coming to the site. It is easy to set up a new account with a new name.

I just read Simpleone’s post and I lurked for quite a while before I posted. I was also waiting for the book and was getting info as I didn’t find out about the diet until last month. I have never – ever – posted as much on any other site as I do on this one and it did take a while. However, that being said, she had to get a feeling that the site was having problems – especially when people just stopped posting and she could have joined in then. I don’t know. We have been so lucky to keep our group intact. I’m a bit amazed someone has done some googling and tracked us down.

Barb – unfortunately you are going through carb de-tox again. You were eating a lot of carbs, even if considered legal on MM and now you are cutting back. It will probably 3 or 4 days until you feel right again. This is a problem with people who are very sensitive to carbs. My concern for myself is that when I start to add the carbs in step 2 I will want more and more of them. Hopefully that will not be the case, but I really have to watch the amount of them I eat.

Does your dog need a new color scheme, too????

Hi Laura

One of the stores I miss most of all is Trader Joe’s. People have even begged them to open up a store here, but no gol

Hi Kathy

Bev- great time to come to Hawaii. The frst whale sighting has been made on Maui. They are such awsome creatures to watch frolic in the water. I'll have to start watching for them, too.

Off to do errands and then swim. Hubby is playing bridge all day.

Love to all of you

Not sure how Santa got in there???? I'm certainly not ready for the holidays. Maybe it is the talk of Christmas cards!!

If you invite them, you can edit out all that stuff in advance. I think there's stuff about people's evil twins way back there, though!

I agree with that part also! I would love to invite her, but I will understand if it's not possible. I don't want to lose what we do have here.

Let's leave it sit til tomorrow guys so everyone that wants to can chime in. Barb is integral to the group and if anyone has their radar up, we should respect that and take it slowly. JMHO. I will go with whatever you all think is best. Remember, if you do decide to invite, there is major editing to do in advance of the invitation so as not to start off on a bad foot.

I reactivated mine also, and I am to tired to shine my stupid sink!

OMG - I shine my sink every day after my DD washes dishes. It makes me happy if you believe that one. Sick!

That is what I was trying to say too. We don't know who she would contact after we gave her the info. Someone should just re-start an MM thread on LFC as people will find it.

I agree. Does someone want to PM her over there and see if they can find out why she NEVER EVER posted or even sent a PM?

Jocelyn, that's exactly right. Someone wanted to find us pretty badly but waited to speak up for the first time until we were gone?

Thank you for the insight on the hunger. Nell mentioned also that I was going through carb detox again. I must be very sensitive. No surprise really, I abused my poor L&P for so long. You will probably need to be very careful when you start adding carbs back in on step2. It might take some trial and error to see which ones you can tolerate best.

Hugs,

Thanks Jocelyn -
This is what I don't understand either. I eat veges every day. I am taking fish oil. So don't think I'm stupid, but what is psyllium? I'm assuming no one thinks benefiber is any good...right?

 

[Daniele]

That is what I was trying to say too. We don't know who she would contact after we gave her the info. Someone should just re-start an MM thread on LFC as people will find it.

When people started voicing concerns my radar went up too. I had the same thought that it could be someone we know under a false name. Then I told myself I was paranoid. At least if I'm paranoid then I'm not paranoid alone!

That's a good idea. Maybe a whole new group of people will come together and be support for one another like we did!

 

[Wisteria1956]

Just heard from stwill. She is coming over. She misses our friendly chatter so let's give her a big welcome when she arrives.

Psyllium is the main ingredient in Metamucil. They make sugar free. You can also buy it unflavored in health food stores.

You could job share with Lisa. She will take pictures of your shoes while you shine her sink

Nell, I think the only way we have been contacted or found is through PM. On the new site, it takes you to a person's email. That's the method. Other than that, I think we are still a secret.

 

[gettinhealthy]

Daisy has just posted that she's staying at LCF. just wanted to let you all know.
As Lisa said, I do think it should be a mojority wins with people coming over here. I'm glad you all let me.
But if (was it Bev?) is having a feeling about it, maybe we shouldn't.

Oh, today's news. In last night's paper, there was an article in the police section.
On Friday, a 17 year old was found to have a knife in their car on school property. That was all the paper said. Would love to know who it is and what the school is doing to them. Mike said that if they do to them what they did to Carrie, Carrie will see them at the alternative education placement building before her time is done. So, if it's like Carrie, this could become interesting I think.
There was a huge article type thing also in the paper headlined "Zero Tolerance on Zero Tolerance Laws." I also have that article.
I'm supposed to be going to work, but feeling a bit tired, so I'm here with all of you instead. I will probably go around 5. Don't want stuck doing it over the weekend. There are only 2 offices to clean, but one of them is 5,000 sq. ft. The other one is about 1/2 that size. Mike is going to help me
Ok, enough rambling. Back to reading.

Not sure how Santa got in there???? I'm certainly not ready for the holidays. Maybe it is the talk of Christmas cards!!

That's ok, I just thought you loved Santa!

Ummmm, I come from a long line of sink shiners, too.
