Thank you all so much!!

 

drama, drama, drama... I swear you'd think my mother-in-law rolled up into the joint... ~~Everyone brings joy to my life, some when they enter, others when they leave~~

thank you so much ,that is so nice !  Have a good day!

You know Bonny I do feel bad that you are choosing to leave this board,  but you have caused more controversy on this board than anyone I have known in my two and a half years here.  I think you cause a lot of your own stress and then defend it by claiming all sorts of bad things that are happening or have happened to you - looking for us to feel really bad as if you are being picked on. . And some of these things you write back are still designed to hurt others but you chose to frame it so that is does not look that way and you can claim you are being cast as the victim. Jill tried hard to ask EVERYONE  to be respectful of other people's beliefs but you responded confrontationally.  And it escalated from there....I tried to write a note to ask it all to stop too - but still it continued .  Ann made some really good points in her message to you - she talks very straight and doesn't take any prisoners - but she was right when she said religion is a very personal thing....... you chose to continue to push your views even when it was clear that many people do not want to hear it.... and no-one claimed to hate anyone - you just said that - so still the drama continues.... People here did not want this kind of stress and issues and taking sides etc - many have kept quiet about it because they just want it all to be over - yet still we are back where we yet more drama about you now leaving. Bonny stay or go - decide and do it - no more drama - if you stay we will support you if you play fair, if you go we wish you luck - but please let us all get back to the business of helping those who need help and not being distracted by other influences. I am just so tired of coming on here and reading all these posts about all of this  - it is too time consuming......... tonight I did not get on until late and I have to wade through all of these posts  - it is just too darned time consuming...... Jackie

From one hip-shooter to another...I agree 100%.  Thanks Jackie, for putting that out so diplomatically. Soooo, how the heck are ya????  We haven't chatted in the longest time.  Since the cruise discussion way back when, I believe.

Oh just busy with life - and some plastic surgeries - next and last one on 18th of this month. You haven't been around that much recently either so it has been hard to catch up.... So doing fine - how about you? Things back to normal for you? - if normal is such a thing!!! lol Jackie

Normal?  I have no idea what that is...lol.  Just like pretty much everybody else, I got my up days & down days.  These stupid mini-strokes are really becoming a nuisance though.  Four so far & they just tap all my energy for the day.  But even with that, the scale is slowly sliding down.  I was starting to feel kinda envious of you bp folks, with how fast you lose your weight.  But then I remembered that Dr. Mo DID say it would take me about 18 months to achieve goal.  Well, I did the math & discovered that I'm pretty much on target, timeline-wise. I've recovered from my CA trip, but now I'm spending almost all my waking hours (& into the night) on this business I'm starting up.  I'm doing a lot of networking & that's going great.  Now, if I could just a client or two or three...lol.  Truthfully, I'm not quite ready for that just yet, but almost. Jackie, I know you're gonna do great with your upcoming surgery.  I also know that you will be so glad to have it all over with.  If you had it to do over, would you change anything along your journey? Well, I guess I better go catch some ZZzzzz's.  Have a great evening!!!!

Ann, I didn't realise these mini strokes were still continuing -- is there an end in sight? What is causing it? What can stop it?  Good luck with your new business -  it is hard to get one up and ready but I am sure you will do it! I would not change anything if I had to do this all over again!! - I had a wonderful gastric bypass surgeon,  the right kind of surgery for ME - a good run with my eating and no issues at all post surgery, a fantastic plastic surgeon and have made many many new friends and opened up my social life a bit more...... so no I am so thankful for this surgery and everything that went with it.  Hope today finds you well! Jackie

HIJACKED! OMG!  Are you doing ok?  I didn't know that you still and that issue with the strokes. Sending you a big HUG!!!! But...wanted to let you know that I lost 130 pounds and it took me 15 months to get to it - even with as active as I am.  So...don't stress over it......

thanks Jackie !  for your reply .IM glad you decied to not get involved with what is already in view over with and seem to be the only ones that keep anything going here is those that want to. IT was advised to me from one of our leaders to post why i was leaving !  I was going and leave it at that!  I didnt start anything and i have done all i can to apologize to everyone and Jill too but it seems nothing stops you all for being so Ugly to me!  yes!I said it UGLY !! why am i apologizing anyhow for something that alot of other people helped caused!!!  Jill was informed by others about my post!  In my opinon they should have NEVER gotten her invovled either!  so her and i both took each others letter or post the wrong way ! so we are humans that happens !!  I realize you know Jill and not me and are taking sides which i dont want any part of myself!  I guess people that knew me on here came to my defense like you all did for her!  so that is good we both have friends!  I didnt need them or ask them too they just did!  and for the record you all have picked on me since this happen! IM not wasting my time nor anyone else s trying to defend my self because frankly it is not worth it!  And if you called almost loosing my sister DRAMA then shame on you and im sorry you feel that way about coming close to loosing a loved one! How many of my friends on here have jumped on Jill?? I hope none!  you dont have a clue what i have been under either so how nice of you to say so!  Just like i may not of others !  This whole thing was very unfortunated that happen!!  so it doesnt matter what you think or feel about me jackie because if their were ever anyone that makes anyone NOT  feel welcome here i think is you and some of the other ones that want to keep as you call it the so call drama going!  funny how you all can post what you can about me but OH NO im not supposed to have feelings and post anything!  I think you all are on a witch hunt and Im not putting up with it! I came here for support not back lashing!  Its not up to you all to whip people !!  I think that i am owed an apology as well!  However im not really expecting one from some of you !None of you know me well enough to judge me either!  I guess i was wrong to listen when i was told to write to why as i was leaving then! I post something sunday and  days' later still getting nothing but greif over it!  IM glad that you and some of the othes claim to know me so well that im a drama queen!  I dont want any of you too feel sorry for me!  However I will say that some of you are the most unkind bunch of women I have ever known ! Is this how you treat each other when one saids something that you dont like!  i think some of you are just as much to blame for this as Jill and I!  I did listen and stopped but NO others had to keep on posting about it!  was i not suppossed to defend my self ?? I dont know how one scripture could have cost so much problems!  Its hard to belive that with all the folks that come here daily that you never have had this problem before!  I have friends on here and i  guess i was mistaken that you were one of them too! IM too pretty darn sick of this whole mess Jackie!  Again none of you know me well enough to make any judgement towards me !  Gee' IM glad you all are NOt God that is for sure!  MY husband said it is ashame that other people took something that i said for good and made it all dirty!!  This didnt conern anyone but me and whom ever didnt want to email me about it ! iif you rember i didnt post the first reply and i just wanted to know how come she or anyone had as much right as i did to confront me about what i said as i did them?? so what gives Jackie sounds like to me some of you have a double standard on here!  I have alot of good freinds on here and they have been nothing but good to me and i them! you all took what i said and ran with it like the wind!  I dont want to hear any more about this either !!!  I really dont !  Bonny
