    Those of you who have been here for a while know that I post a Wednesday "B*TCHFest" to provide an outlet for people who have no day-to-day means to vent. Most people seem to like it, some of you have told me that you look forward to it, and some of you thank me for posting it when you've been having a particularly bad day.

    However, with all that's going on with OH, and with so many posts being trucked off to the great landfill that is Rants and Raves, I'm wondering if there is even a point to me bothering to post it anymore.

    UPDATE: It appears that the post will be able to stay. Thank you to you all for your support, and thank you to OH for the quick response. Now, ***** AWAY, you all!

    I still haven't bothered to read the TOS but I wonder how they can move something from a moderated forum to an unmoderated no holds barred forum?

    I hated it when they deleted **** too but you'd think that would be safer.

    The main forum was always 80% off topic. seems weird that they are ALL being moved now.  

    hey, this constitutes as a ***** and I don't usually participate LOL

     Oho! You snuck a ***** in under radar. NICE! 

    I agree: EVERYTHING  is being sent over there. Discussions about the SUPER BOWL? Really? Just plain silly.

     Doing my taxes; hate it

    Slow computers; want to kick it

    The price of movies in theaters; guess Redbox will have to do

    No snow days;  Well, that has pros and cons

    People who tell "half truths";  spin that however you like :D

    That's all I can come up with. It really isn't all that bad!

    Ya ya gotta kind of wonder what the thinking is there ...that off topic threads are somehow not entertaining or important to people ? I mean if they respond ... why not .. and almost always " off topic " relates to WLS anyway .

    Like superbowl threads become about what to EAT during a stupor bowl party ...

    a *****fest helps folks cope

    a lot of OT threads are really about LIFE years after WLS ... after the honeymoon period has ended ..



    ok I caught a dreadful stomach bug from eating Lebanese frozen okra ( I forgot their water isnt OUR water GRRR !!! I would never drink water (or ice) or eat street food in Lebanon .. what WAS I thinking .

    Yesterday I was alternatively curled up on the floor wanting to DIE from the excruciating pain in my gut . or puking and sh..ing myself at the same time ( try to make THAT one work Grrls ! ) Iiterally soiled FOUR pairs of pajama pants trying (and failing ) to get to the toilet on time ..

    Needless to say important business meetings went unpostponed ( God knows if they'll forgive me today ) ..

    I HATE doing / thinking about taxes

    My adult stepson who wont take steps to support himself ( or even clean his room ) is driving me MAD as is his Father's reluctance to do anything to change the situation .. He's been draining this family for over ten years since his adulthood without respite ... refuses to study and was kicked out of his technical school and is STILL being treated as the golden boy !!! He HAS to go .. and has to stop eating us out of house and home and POLLUTING our home with his bad moods , filth , 500 lb piggish insufferable habits ..

    I told my husband I'm grabbing his ( extremely expensive ) trains ( Barbie dolls for boys ) he's refused to pack up fand put in storage or over a year and selling them on E-bay or to a store .. to get a start on what he owes us for his upkeep these last three months . and I'm SERIOUS ...

    There  are lots (  TOO  MANY )  tiny little ethnic neighborhoods  here  in NYC  to COUNT .  In a way its really cool .. you get to try all kinds of new spices  and foods .. but I just got thoroughly SPANKED  for my daring .   

    I don't know how the immigrants even stand those devastating bacteria ..

    Good morning!

    I am coming back to OH after a long hiatus.  I am here because I need to get Back on Track (yes, I have joined the group!!  ).

    I have to say, though...that OH looks VERY different to me than what is was back in 2007/2008.  There used to be hundreds of posts per day and I am not seeing that now.  Is it is because of the way the forum is moderated?  I know there was an OH staffer here several years ago (Amy something) who was very cool, very active...but I think she was pushed out.  And it seems that, at least the forum part, has been in decline ever since.

    OH was critical in my WLS success.  The people here are amazing...so supportive.  I hope that the moderators listen to the concerns of the people who support it.

    I, for one, love your b-tchfests.  I think we need one every day to stay sane!

    Hugs,
    Jersey Mom

    For you NEW KIDS, HERE ARE THE RULES: 

    "B*TCHFest"  is provided as a public service to those of us who have gripes and grievances but who (whom?), for whatever reason, lack a regular forum in which to air them. You are welcome to voice any problems - large or small, important, mundane or ridiculous -  that currently have your panties wadded, your shorts frosted and your gears ground. Don't hold them in and risk future medical issues, wrinkles and/or those pesky gray hairs.

    ANY and ALL issues that are plaguing you are open for you to voice; there are no "sacred cows." They say that "feelings aren't facts", so if you're feeling it, it's legit to you. NO ONE is allowed to flame a poster for something he or she writes, however commiseration is not only welcomed but encouraged. Please, no personal attacks against other OH members (at least, not by name) and  
    ABSOLUTELY NO SURGERY WARS!

    I'll start you off with a few gripes of mine, and you all can join in at any time! No limits - come back as many times as you like!


    WARNING! Adult content ahead! Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. I know that MINE will. Rated TV-MA.

    I'm tired and crank today, so God only knows what will happen once I get going.

    - To my band: you cranky little ******! I just went to the gym, spent an hour and a half there doing seriously mean things to my body, and now it needs some nutrition. Would you PLEASE ease up and let me eat something? Thanks, loads.

    - To the cosmos: can I please go a month (or 6) without any more major traumas that require an outlay of cash to alleviate? No car repairs, no furnace repairs, etc.? Thanks, loads.

    - To big pharma: can you explain to me why a generic version of one of my DH's medications is only TEN DOLLARS cheaper than the brand name? $154 instead of $164 is no big savings. D-bags.

    - To the guy at the gym who believes that the "no cell phone" rule doesn't apply to him: next time you sit your ass on the pec fly machine just to chat for ten minutes, I am knocking your ass on the floor!

    Okay! Your turn!

    They are going WAY overboard aroung here- I just got a poem moved to the other forum! Please! You know, there is something called a middle ground!

    So- to make this WLS related, I sometimes intensely dislike the hard work of maintenance. So there.

    Love your avatar!

     I think the mods are  trying to justify their jobs .   

    Happened  with City inspectors too  when  a bunch of em got laid off ...  the remaining ( and the cheaper new hires )  became INCREDIBLY TOUGH ... justifying three or four return visits and  extra application fees  where   there was only one or ( rarely )   two before .

    Needless to say it just about killed all the new construction and renovations in the City .  Its VERY easy to turn  potential investors off  and make em take their money to the next town ... 

    ( We the members here of course invest our TIME and energy ..and without our input  the site is nothing .. )

    I'm on the treadmill working out this morning gasping for air and trying to make it through my workout and then this lady gets on the treadmill next to me and has so much perfume on... not only am I gasping for air but now gaging...........oh and the worse thing was that if she was trying to cover up her BO it wasn't working..... 

    So to the lady at the gym BO and perfume do not a good combination make.....and it doesn't cover it up.
