What to rant about?

There are new people coming to this site everyday. They haven't been here for 5-6 years so when they rant they have no idea that somebody else has already done it. I have only been here 6 months and have seen numerous times the same rant or question being asked. Sure it gets old but everyone has to remember at one time you was the newbie and was asking the same question. Now if I am missing your point I am sorry for responding. Bob

I get it and I agree.  I too feel it might be time to ease up a bit.  I also agree that its cyclical and it just might be my time for a break.  I still read once in a while and answer a few questions if I really think I might help, otherwise, life is calling and I seem to be getting less and less from the boards. If you ever need me or what to reach me for any reason, use my email, you are always more than welcome in my life.

I am not really leaving, I am still around, I just check in less frequently and respond less often.  If you need my thoughts on anything, you know how to reach me and I will always respond to you.  Also, you could always put my name in the title of the post, that always catches my attention. I am sorry you had a rough flight and the loss of your friend is tough to deal with I am sure.  You are right about the last 30 pounds being a war, but I am sure you will do it.  I guess what I am saying is that I am still here, just less active.

Is that actually you in the picture? Looks wonderful! I can think of one thing to rant about...the almost thrice weekly posts about bougie size and stomach size and capacity...and the same folks getting all huffy and puffy about a 32F or a 40F most of the time post factum and even if prior to surgery chances are they can't change what their surgeon usually does. I could rant about that...I bet you could think of lots of things too. I would just ask why rant in the first place? Why not just offer your experience and knowledge and maybe someone will be inspired or relieved or comforted or follow in your footsteps.

Yes, I am actually a purple googly-eyed monster.

Not the avatar...the beach chair picture! Why, would that be unrealistic? You don't do beach holidays? Or is it the bubbly drink in "your" hand?

Oh no, that's not  me at all, just some random graphic I stole off the web.

You can see my pics on my profile page.

I was just looking at your "after" picture and thought there was something familiar about your face, besides the fact that it is your face.  Then it hit me.  You and the "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy" could be brothers!!!!

Hahaha!  

First time I've been compared to an internet meme before.  I promise, I'm not photogenic in real life.  Promise.
