Topic: PHILLY SWIRL IN USA TODAY
The SF Philly Swirl pops are ONLY available at Sam's club. Sam's Club is doing a "Trial run" on there Sugar Free pops and there is only 4 weeks left.
Run out, grab a few boxes to stock up and talk to the manager at the store to keep this product around. Better yet, maybe we can all write Sam's Club Corp and let them know us Bariatric patients NEED this great product around.
I hope this product doesn't go away!!!

Topic: Sllllooowwww in Photos
Hello Everyone!
We are not ignoring anyone. We are backed up as we've never been before. We're training new, but only have a couple who can do this. I'm looking into oldies who've been around awhile to start training so we can train more. I was sending emails to a volunteer yesterday and seeing five and six of the same one sent. These are on my Eudora, so I can easily list by name and delete the duplicates. The volunteers get them from the server. If they waisted time in seeing if there are duplicates, it's take longer, as the server runs lots slower then Eudora on my PC does. So, many times, the duplicates are sent out to other volunteers and they waste time to see that they've already been done, when they should have been posting one which was not done yet.
When you receive the auto reply from photos.. please don't send again, you know we have it. This will cut down on the #s of emails. If you send photos to the Kricket account, or another volunteer, they will be sent to Photos account. So, again at the bottom of the list.
Also, a great time saver is sending in your Member Identification. This is listed on the main page under your Name. If you don't know this..then please make sure we have the same email address which is used on your profile.
This site has grown immensely and we're changing things to keep up better. It's not happening overnight. If it's found out that photos are sent to another volunteer and they are posting, that volunteer will lose access. It's not right for some of you to be waiting weeks and someone else sneaking around the system and getting posted in just days.
Hopefully, we'll be back down to where we want to be soon. None of us like making any of you wait.
Thank you so much for your patience and you all have a great day!
Love ya!

Topic: MICHIGANDER WITH A FOOD FIND!
Hey Gang,
Well I wrote Alex at Philly Swirl and he called me personally.
What a great guy he is. He sounds like such a generous man!
If you are unfamiliar with the philly swirls they are a Sf popsicle (taste like italian ice sorta) in many flavors, the cotton candy is to die for! They are only about $7 for a case of 40!!
He is sending me coupons to pass on to family, friends neighbors.
the grocery stores do not have them in SF but ppl other than us will probably like the regular. But Sams club sells them in SF for us!!
Please guys get out there and try these Philly swirls. They are great and affordable. Sams club is doing them on a test run trial to see how they sell. So when you go to buy your case, take a second out to ask the manager to keep selling them there.
Come on guys lets show these guys how much support us OH members can give them!!

Topic: OT E+Bay= Prom Date!!!! What do you think about this guy???? Bid Currently $256.00
WILLMAR MN - For fun and for a date, Nathan Carlson doesn't think it's weird for women to bid on him on ebay. He wants to re-experience his high school days and he wants women to pay for it. He's a teenage prom date for hire.
"I'm kind of a country town boy," Carlson said. He grew up on an old pig farm.
While reminiscing about his old prom, Carlson who is now 18-years old decided he would try to go back.
"So I thought maybe someone will ask or maybe someone will pay," Carlson said. He figured ebay would be a good way to go about it.
"I'm 18 and 5-foot 11-inches," Carlson said, "I'll pay for the tux and flowers."
This is no joke, Carlson started the bidding at 30-dollars.
"I figure prom is three hours, so it's 10-dollars an hour," said Carlson.
"It's also cool if two girls want me as their date," Carlson said. He's pretty confident somebody will bid.
"I'll make sure they have a good time," Carlson said, "I'm pretty nice."
He's pretty sure his 1993 Mazda will lure the women in because as he says, "Girls always like a guy with a good car."
If you're wondering what else makes Carlson such a good prom date, he says his experience tops the list. He's been to three proms at Willmar Senior High.
Carlson's parents don't think the ebay idea is the smartest thing.
"Teenagers don't always do the smartest things I guess," said Carlson's dad, "You hear about bad things that happen on the internet, hopefully it will turn out right."
With four days of bidding left, "I've got a couple of questions, no bids yet," Carlson said.
Turns out, Nathan isn't the only one doing this. Two other people have put themselves up for prom dates and no one has bid on them either.
