I hope you'll hang in here a little longer. I'm so concerned about new members not getting what they need. Hang out in the threads where you get the good stuff and try to avoid the ones that make you upset. I know it's hard but in the long run it will pay off. The important part is for you not to put yourself in a position of getting upset because it only harms you. Welcome to OH!
hugs, Y

Thank you Betty, that is one cute puppy!! Special thanks about the light shining. Can I show you my puppy video??? I'm really proud of this beautiful baby who had a very bad life before he came to me. It's a great video for rescue dogs...

So glad you found the blog. I don't post every day because I don't think I have nearly that much interesting stuff to say so I try to go for quality instead of quantity. Thanks again for your kind words.
hugs, Y

Thanks. Sundance is a beautiful little dog! Didn't you recently win a small dog contest with him? (I think I recall reading that on your blog...) If so, congrats!

Yes we did! I never would have believed that with 200 entries that a 54 year old woman and a 3 legged dog would win. Here's our picture when we were dressed up for the contest. He is truly the sweetest baby and very grateful for a good home after someone let him run around with a broken leg for a year. We came in first place in the region and 2nd place nationally!

Hi Yvonne,
You know this already .... but i will tell you anyway ..... I You. I've been to your blog and read this before. Thank YOU for posting it here as well. Awesome post!! :-)

I also do not like drama on the boards and try to avoid it all together. Sometimes we need a break from being here... it gets to be TOO much. I wish we did not have all this drama.

However, I love reading the boards, i learn a lot from being here... like you... i will do my part and I will continue to do my best to offer support and help to those that want it. and avoid any drama around here.

Thanks again for being an inspiration to me.

YOU ROCK!

MY BEAUTIFUL LIZZY GIRL!!

Here's a perfect example of another very successful post-op RNY that is as beautiful inside as outside.

Lizzy you have no idea that you inspire me just as much as I could ever inspire you. You have always been one of the most kind, classy ladies I know.

Perhaps we could encourage post-ops that have reached goal or where they are perfectly happy to post their pictures? (From every surgery) Just to point out that it happens...

Bless your heart for stopping by... I love you girl. Y

ya know, I mostly lurk. It makes me unhappy when I see grown women calling each other horrible names. Name calling never works! Let's say I call you a ***** and you call me a ***** and all of a sudden you will just instantly say oh Ok, I'm a ***** I'm sorry??? That's not gonna happen. What purpsose does it serve to call each other names???????????? If it makes you feel better well that's at everyone else's expense.

Do they talk to their mother's with words like that? Would their children be embarrassed if they read their post?? And mostly I thought I wasn't in high school any more. Hell, high school was more mature than this!! As great as the internet is with all this education, it's also a place for peeps to hide behind names. I wish there was a rule that if your post is offensive (as in name calling) that you get barred from the board for a month. I think there need to be some rules and its sad that it is just a free for all with no respect to other people.
On a better note, I loved your picture in the Obesity Help magazine and the article was also really great. Do you have any link to that where I can send it to my friends?
