Julie, How funny! You are wonderful and as Gina said, you care! I am busy, busy, busy (at work now posting on here) ha ha, and love to pop on when i can to ask questions or just see what is going on.
A few years ago, when i was going for my RNY, i was on the main board and connected with many wonderful people at that time and was on DAILY ALL THE TIME! I was addicted to OH and my job, life, suffered! Really, I would be on all day and then when i would get home we all would continue all night, like till 1 or 2 am in the morning! It was crazy, I would go to sleep and have to wake up and be so tired etc... So the time came, when i just had to take a break and really get away cuz i loved my connection to the people i had made friends with. Then I started dating my now husband and life just changed and pulled me away from my NORMAL routine.

Now, 6 years later, back on OH again but on the DS board, I find myself still on here more than I should be (especially during work hours) but have found some balance in being able to do my work and obligations along with going to bed at a decent time.

Soooooooooooo HELL NO! YOU ARE NO LOSER baby, just someone who has found a place where you have friends, offer help and experience to those who need it!

I personally THANK YOU! xooxoxo

I hope I can be a loser too and keep current here as it's important to stay informed and also to assist others going thru the same. I hope I can keep it up too as long as you and I can't help but feel those that don't are missing out. It's better to stay we rounded and life live and also give back. You are great here and I would be very sad if you didn't keep coming here.

Some people are "givers", and some "takers". You are definitely in the giver category.

There are some posters whose posts that I kinda gloss over.  There are some posters that I seek out and read.  You are one of the one's I seek.  The information and research that you share with us about bone metabolism and Vitamin D is priceless.  I like your brand of sunshine and rainbows .

I need to lose about 2 more pounds for a normal BMI .  I still seem to be slowly losing at over 2 yrs out...so may get there yet.

*Sigh*  I don't know how I came by that sunshine and rainbows rap.   I'm really quite churlish and mean, if you ask my students.

As a matter of fact, when I'm coming down on my students (and my stepdaughters, as they are big-time takers) I ask them, "There are two kinds of people in this world - givers and takers.   What kind are YOU?"

Okay - maybe not churlish, but I'm a tough love, old-school kinda teacher.   My kids know I'll bust their chops first THEN hug them.

I'll be darned - I didn't know you were from South Haven!   My daughter swims against you guys.   Was down there a couple of times this fall.
