THANKS MY great friends here in the JUNE FORUM......

Welcome Home, Sweetie!! Pam

Glad to have you back and so pleased that you have wisdom as well as caring! We all need to be more accepting and more forgiving in this world. Way to go girl! Hugs, Jo

Lisa - I accept your apology and never intended any of this to happen. I was just so uset when I read your joke, because YOU have always been such a strong presence on this messageboard, and so supportive. I just couldnt believe that you would be insensitive, not after all of the wonderful postings I had read from you in the past. I felt safe in that I could respond and post how I felt about your post, and look what has happened! The backlash, cruel remarks, and hatred have been overwhelming! I was blown away by the reactions of some Junebugs out there. I really had wanted to be a part of this 'family' because we are all on this weight loss journey together - but I will not be participating any longer due to the cruelness- Im sure that makes many of them happy (and they know who they are!) I did receive a few kind messages that asked me not to leave (thank you - your kindness helped), but there are other resources out there for me to participate in, where I will be welcomed and not ridiculed. I wish you all the best in your continued weight loss journey - Im glad we could clear the air once and for all. Take care and good luck.

DEBRA, I really wish you wouldnt leave... I came back and you should stay put too. We are all entitled to our opinions.....and all different, thats what makes this place so great. I feel you should stay as i choose to do after thinking thru things. I think you need time as i did to decide. We are great happy family and if i have no hard feelings either do others! PLZ stay as i have choosen to do. HUGS LISA

I haven't checked-in in a very long time and see I've missed alot. Lisa, I'm so glad you have not left us. I'm glad to see you are posting again. I can't believe someone would get upset over you April fools joke..... jezes! Chip
