ok i know you all wont like this

this board should be a safe and pleasant venue for all posters
at all times

Hey Jaci, 
This OFF forum is---i was gonna say heaven sent--then realized I really don't want to offend you.  This OFF forum is such a breath of fresh air for me compared to the others where people do not get along well.  I mentioned in a post on another board that the reason we are at this site anyway is because we are all a bunch of sick puppies trying to get well.  I love you and offer my hand in friendship to you.  The day I met Jesus, I kissed religion goodbye and I have realized that this is a big world with a lot of different people in it.  I would hope that we can be friends and if not friends acquaintances with a whole lot in common.  I go out of my way to be a peace-maker when I can and at other times a peace-keeper.  Olive branch (sign of Peace) extended to you and the warmest of cyber hugs I can muster!  I think the best of our lives are ahead of us and would love to walk this journey by your side. I also offer a "tool" I learned in the twelve step rooms years ago--Take what you need and leave the rest.  It has worked well for me. 
Another Big Big CyberHUG!

You know I am kinda new to the OFF board so I don't want to step on any toes here but...If you think this board is like a "Christian Revival" you should visit the holier than thou Indiana Board. I was on there one day and said something that I now regret and regretted the minute that they started ostrasizing me. I have never gotten over how they jumped me the moment I was going through a bad stretch. Then they accused me of sending bad P.M. to some of them which I never did. I am so tired of " being Politically correct" that I can't see straight. Then here lately someone got on there (the Indiana board) and said basically the same thing that Mystic/Jacki said and they must have jumped her for her opinion too, because now she has blocked alot of people. My thing is it is okay for your opinion Jacki but it is also ok that people talk about religion. It could be like the "Christians" on the Indiana board, who talk and gossip behind peoples back annd then become support group leaders. I hope that you all just get along and what ever you don't like whether it be religious talk or talking baseball you just ignore or don't read. I hope this doesn't step on anyones toes but I do not want to see the OFF board become un-friendly like the other board I mentioned. I would like somewhere to go for support and I want it to be here! Thanks for listening to me and have a nice day!

Wonder if it is considered spiritual when someone threatens to take an AK47 to a hospital and shoot up the place?  Hmmm  someone claiming to be "close to God" posted that on the IN board once.


I have actually seen the truth in the emails that were sent to my by ShrinkMe.  Some people are frauds and do take advantage of others.  For that I say thank you ShrinkMe for pointing it out to me.  I really thought someone was very ill and very much in need of help.  Guess I was wrong.  I am willing to say I am sorry I trusted someone who was lieing to us.  But I wont apologize for being angry for all the malicious messages that were sent to me.  I did nothing to deserve that. 

I truly hope you find peace in your life somewhere and your life improves. 

BTW,  I have two support groups now and the meetings are going great!  Thanks!

HMMMM...I think it is being a fraud to get on the board and act holier than thou, then lie about someone sending nasty grams when they didn't. That is being a liar and that would be you. I know nothing of the ShrinkMe emails or P.M.'s like you and most people on the Indiana boasrd think.
 I have left your clique and said I would never post on there again and I haven't. You have no business being a support group leader in my opinion as you are really very devious and very un-Christ like. You may have everyone snowed on the Indiana board but you are not as sweet as you let on. If you were as close to God as you let on you would not have come over to the OFF board and started trouble. Also I caught you talking about me via Ponygurl and now I know who everyone is that is keeping the fire going over there. I will say this again I did not do anything wrong except trust you all and think something was funny when in fact when looking back it was the wrong thing to say. I am sorry I said it but I am not sorry it showed you alls true colors. Now I am going to say what the sweetest woman on the board said to me. DO NOT contact me again or I will have to file a restraining order on you and file cyber stalking against you.
 All I am trying to do is to get some support from people who have some ideas to help me with the constant eating that I am doing at this time. It is all because of people like you and some of the others on the Indiana board. About your support groups I just might show up at those groups sometime so be looking for me. I can come to them because they are for anyone who has had WLS. I am one so be looking for me soon! I will also be coming to the next clothing exchange because it is a public place and event. Hope to see you soon! Lots of love Michelle

Michelle, I lurk over here sometimes because I do qualify as I am over 50.  You were "ostracized" on the Indiana board as you threatened to take an assault rifle to a local hospital, then you threatened some members. 

Prior to this, several members, including myself, attempted to give you some helpful suggestions in regards to your personal situation, as we were genuinely concerned.  However, YOUR personal attacks were too much.

The poster you refer to that blocked a lot of people didn't do it due to anything remotely related to religion.  Linda's 5 year old daughter was killed.  The poster seemed to think that all the sad postings were depressing her and was not how she wanted the forum to go.  I simply told her that life was not rainbows and sunshine all the time.  She didn't want to hear it so she blocked me.  Good riddance. 

It could be like the "Christians" on the Indiana board, who talk and gossip behind peoples back annd then become support group leaders. 

You know - I have never known anything but kindness from the person you are referring to.  You are obviously the one that talks and gossips behind people's backs.  Get over yourself Michelle.

You were more than welcome at the Indiana board until you began making threats and stalking people. 

As for religion - I am not a particularly religious person either.  I don't go to church, but I do believe.  Everyone has the right to say what they want.  I have the right not to read it if I choose not to.  People expressing their opinions either way are ok by me as long as the posts are not threatening.

And as for showing up at the next clothing exchange - sure.  It's a public function.  However, if you get out of line or threaten anyone in any way, you can be asked to leave and escorted out.  And note, I said IF.  This is not threatening in any way, but just a simple statement.

I sincerely hope that you get whatever it is you are looking for.

She has no grounds to get a restraining order  I had written proof that she had been by my house from her personally...that classified it as stalking.  I am sure she has been past yours as well since she went to Kims frequently. That would be your proof so to speak.

Also...as with any restraining order...since this is a private event (hell even if it was public) the restrainee cannot come within 100 ft of the restrainor nor can they be anywhere the other is. If they are then the law would be called and the restrainee would be arrested for violation of a court order. Especially if they did so knowingly! It is also a violation if they do so through a third party. So it does not even have to be done so directly. Or so mine states!

Don't worry about her. She is mentally unstable and needs to look for professional mental help as well as any other she may be in need of.  If she comes to one of your support groups, then she would just be reaffirming that she is stalking you. Keep a copy of this email with you. Its's just more proof that she is doing this with menace. She is just trying aggrivate the situation. Why after all this time is she churning all this back up? Sounds to me like there is a mouse in the house that likes to stir drama!

You think you are so smart! I have checked into this getting a restraining order and I am going to go farther to get one. I am not stalking anyone least of all the 2 of you. I have never been anywhere near your home nor would I ever want to. I don't know why you just don't leave me alone. I will be copying this and taking it to a lawyer. My life is difficult enough without you following me and harassing me. Let me tell you something you ran me off of the Indiana board but you won't run me off of this one. I need some support as much as the next guy and you or no one else is going to stop me from using any tool I need to keep my weight loss goal in view. Now I am eating all of the time and it is partially because you have driven me back to my old habits of eating when I am blue and depressed. As I told Christie a lesser person would have committed suicide and then you would have that on what little conscience you have. SO leave me alone and do it now. I am going to start searching for a lawyer on Monday. Be expecting to be served!
 Have a nice mothers day! And LEAVE ME ALONE! you drama stirrer you!

I did not follow you anywhere..I posted a reply to Christie's post so I have no clue where you are going on this except back into the same circle you started on the Indiana board. You came on here bashing me and that is not appropriate nor accurate. As for your attorney...make sure he has all the information, not just part because you can also be sued for slander pro se at this rate. You described my home so how would you know the details of it unless you had seen it? I have no desire to have any contact with you and as you can see I have stated what the protective order clearly states.  I have gone to this extreme because my family needed protection. Yes you need help...that is undeniable. Does your surgeon have a psych on his staff that did your psych evel before surgery? Perhaps they may be able to help you with your issues. I know the Kentucky bariatric surgery dept does and are willing to help in any way they can. Ask your Dr or hospital about this. If you paid a program fee it should be covered under it. I hope you do get the support on here you need. But you need to stop making accusations and and slandering people. You were not run off the Indiana Board. You are still welcome to post there as you well know since it is a public forum. But its the harrassment and slander that needs to stop. You still have friends on there and you know that they would support you so please don't use that as an excuse. If you post and no one replies...they do so by choice. I know I do not post replies to anyone on there unless I want to.  You have a new board, new apartment, new town.....start everything anew and let go of the past and perhaps everything else will fall into place.

That was just what I was trying to do but you, Tracy and Christie will not leave it alone! I was just trying to state why I didn't also like somethings that were being said on the postings of either board, you know an example, and here comes Tracy and her mouth then there was Christie and her mouth then here you come making slanderous accusations. I want it to stop! I left you all alone and now you all are following me and giving me grief. I didn't follow you and give you a bunch of **** on the Kentucky board so you should have left it alone when I came over here. SO JUST LET IT GO!
 About you house I have no idea where it is or do I want to! I don't know what you think I said but there is no way I would even know where it is at. The only place I have ever been in Salem is a cousins house and this restruant in Salem. I have no DAMN desire to ever SEE YOU AGAIN!!! You are sadly mistaken if you think up until now I even gave you or your family a second thought since leaving that board! As far as posting on the Indiana board you and some others, you know who they are, have made it impossible to ever post on there again. You know people make mistakes, some are big and some are small, but they are mistakes no matter what size and this is because we are just human. I do not need a the help that you are referring to just for a mistake. The help I need and needed was someone who cared enough to listen and give advice. I got advice and am trying to put it into play as best I can. Do you know that the way the economy is there are alot of people in the same boat I am in that have committed suicide? Just last week I had a cousin who shot himself in the head! I was just depressed and was wanting to just sleep through most of my problems, then said something that I viewed as funny, and then was cut down like a stalk of corn by you and some others. I just said something wrong and now look what I am having to put up with.
 About your protective order if it is real why haven't I been served? If there is anything that you have that you think my lawyer would need please feel free to send it as I am cut, copy, and pasteing these things into my word processor to take with me as soon as I find a lawyer that specializes in cyber bullying. I would be more than happy to take anything you have and would like for me to take. Thank you for anything you send in advance.
 I hope you have a wonderful and full life. I also want you to stop this slanderous postings. Have a nice day! Michelle
P.S. I don't know what your protective order clearly states as I have not seen it.
