When will it ever occur to you that I don't care at all what you think? And, I hardly take any reference you make to my intelligence or success as anything other than envy. It doesn't take any type of "pop psychology" to see that. You may refer to Myst as the "green fart"...but I think green suits you much better. Your very own words come back to constantly contradict you. On this thread you chastize us for defending our friend and then in another you say "I can't keep my mouth when my friends are attacked." You're such a hypocrite! And, then you say "my stance is just plain aggressive" in reference to posting on a forum that you've already said is "by invitiation only"...obviously, Myst isn't invited. She has every ability to post here as it's a PUBLIC forum where you can't utilize the block feature. Have you grasped that concept yet? It's actually quite simple. I understand that you might not comprehend the nature of passive agressive behavior, but honey, you're text book. As you can imagine, I don't need a climatic response...that's your desparate attempt at attention seeking and group approval. I don't seek such things. I'm intrinsically motivated. You also claim on this thread that OH gave you their "blessing" for this seizing this international forum and deeming it your own. Yet, in another post, you claim that they refused to give you a vet band board because they weren't creating any new forums....then, POP! Up-goes a new Rant and Rave forum. You could almost see the steam shoot from your ears like a Bugs Bunny cartoon. And, you did take an opposing stance to the other banders who posted. As a matter of fact, I believe you said it was ironic (or something of the like) that the vet banders were pro-sleeve. Humm...Ironic indeed. You also rattled on about loving your band...blah, blah, blah. I'm sure that was very supportive to Phyllis who you claim is your dear friend. Wow...with friends like you, who needs enemies? It also appears as if you're losing your own following. Looks like the other banders like it here and plan to stay. I'm sure it's very upsetting that they've decided not to follow you where you tell them they should go. Imagine that...independent thinkers. Congratulations to them! And, I love the "if you need me, you'll know where to find me" farewell. I'm betting they'll be just fine here without you.

I bet I could stretch it if I heated it up and pulled on it really hard - just kidding

I don't really want to dwell, but I do want to say that this is supposed to be our backyard.... and we should stick together. We made it through thick, and we're heading to thin.....and Phyllis, regardless of what was said, I'd like to think that we've got your back. I know I'm here to support you as you have for so many of us. One little blip is nothing....we're so much tougher than that! TGIF!!

Oh...Friday couldn't come quick enough for me this week! Your dinner sounds yummy! B: W/C Oatmeal...of course L: Cottage Cheese w/ Pineapple, l/f stringcheese D: Angel Hair pasta....sauce, red hot peppers S: Glass of White Zinfandel....who knows....maybe 2....maybe 3!! Have a great night!

It only makes sense. A band cannot be stretched out. The stomach - of any size, can stretch....
