Thinking of leaving...

I just don't understand some of the stuff that goes on around here. I mean, my goodness, Jackie you are my one true inspiration. And now you are not going to post your morning quotes all because some people don't want to post WLS recipes? Randall, your coffee post perks me up (along with my cup of coffee I am drinking while I read.) This board is here for support. Jackie you're quotes is what wakes me up each day. After I read your quote I tell myself I am worthy that I am so thankful for the WLS tool God has given me. These recipes are for us. They are for WLS patients. Should we not ask for prayers because that has nothing to do with WLS. Cindy, I think you are great and I admire your weight loss. However, I just don't understand your request. This is starting to get our of control. I need my WLS family to keep me going. Whether you're posting a recipe that I can use because I did have WLS, or whether you are asking for prayers or you just need to vent to your OH family. I am sorry if I have made anyone angry, but support is support. Posting the recipes that I can make me because I have had WLS is support to me. I don't even know how to get to the recipe page. I have the AL board in my bookmarks and I just click on that. LIke I have said before, I love everyone here. I love it that we can post our opinions and if you agree then that is great and if you don't then that is great. I come here everyday. I don't post a lot, but I do read and I also hit the "View old messages" button to go back. Jackie, please please don't stop posting your quotes. I and I know many others will be crushed. Love to all, Linda

I failed to mention one of the most important post of the day and that is Elle's devotional posts. Elle, praise God we have someone like you here on the boards. Without you I know I wouldn't be here. I love all the recipes you send and please keep them coming. It gives me great ideas and options. Love, LInda

Thank you so much Linda. I just wish to see you posting more. I feel that God has lead me to post these devotionals and that's why I asked permission to do them, because this is such a prayerful and seemingly Christian board. I honestly believes God wishes for me to share his Word in this way. I would do this for no other reason than for Him and His glory, not me and mine! Praising my Lord and sharing His Word, Elle P.S. I'm glad you are enjoying the recipes too!

My request was to try to condense the very numerous single posts which push other topics way down the line and makes it harder to see the ones that need responses. If you read my request it wasn't to banish recipes...I love them and print most of them off to save, but I find it difficult to wade through all the single recipe posts to see the things that people need help with. My only idea was to use the recipe forum, but then Karen Temple had a great suggestion to post one recipe post daily and every body put their recipes under that one heading....that way they would all be in one place and easy to print. In my opinion, that is the way ideas grow and develop. I saw an issue and was trying to find an acceptable solution for everyone, Karen had the best solution... My post was neither angry, accusatory or hurtful in any way, just a suggestion to get them in one place so as to make other posts easier to see. I didn't mention anyone by name or was it aimed at any one person, it was simply a suggestion. In fact, I don't know why Jackie took offense to it at all, she rarely posts recipes and that was the topic of my suggestion, so I certainly wasn't picking on her...I wasn't picking on anybody...again, just making a suggestion. Cindy

Linda, Cindy was not trying to stir the post...she was making a suggestion to condense all the recipe posts into one daily thread! No one asked Jackie, Elle or anyone to stop their daily posts. I, for one, think condensing the recipes to one daily post is an excellent idea. Now, if Jackie chooses to stop her daily thread, that is up to only Jackie. Gail

Hey Hon! No one asked me to stop posting, so please don't be upset with anyone on the board. It is/was a decision on my own. Don't leave this board, we enjoy your company way too much! We love ya hon & want ya around! With Love, Jackie
