In 2003, my husband and I vacationed partly in Savannah and partly in

Barbara, my hubby and I both went to college in Charleston & got married there 25 years ago. I think it is my favorite place in the whole world. Just spent a week there in November.
Love it love it love it.

I was in Savannah 2002-2005 for postgrad residency and I went to Charleston on a short vacation. They are both beautiful places and have lots of good food.
I miss Savannah.....

It was so beautiful. I want to go back one day. There was a little cafe where we had lunch which included a glass of wine for only $10 a person. I have gorgeous pictures of the sights.

LOL! I think we all may know someone in common.

It's amazing, isn't it? I'm afraid to guess. lol

I just got back from breakfast at MeeMaws, Amy!

Yes, Lauren, I am in Melbourne, well, the beachside, anyway. That would be three of us here in South Brevard. Any others? I do consider that I live in paradise, most everyday. Until summer, when I only feel that way in the evenings. For all of you that have been snowed in, we have our equivalent in the summer here, when it is too hot to go outside until 8:00 at night or so.

[jo2621]

Hey eske

Do I recognize you from "somewhere" else?

I'm not using the same screen name

There's a method to my madness, I think.....

[Amyb1569]

Well ya could of invited me to mee maws. What did you have good to eat.

Did you all see that our Cleo is featured here?

12. LOW-CARB ITALIAN FOOD MADE FROM CAULIFLOWER?

One of my favorite low-carb bloggers is Cleochatra--aka Jamie VanEaton--because she always comes at life from a slightly "tilted" perspective (kinda like me!) and this group of Italian recipes using cauliflower as the basis for pizza, bread sticks, and even lasagna shows just how creative she can be in the kitchen, too. Hey, don't knock it until you try it and Cleo gives you some pretty amazing instructions about how to do this up right! So grab you some cauliflower and get to cooking up some delicious low-carb Italian foods. And leave a comment at the bottom of the page to cheer her on as she has been chosen as a finalist in the YourHub.com Hit Parade contest. Click here to add to her "hit" totals!

Do be sure to visit Cleo's site to get the great recipes:

This was the first post of a newbie at KK. She obviously needs some encouragement and this is what she got.

Hello everyone! Just started K/E and lost about 6 lbs the first week, but now over the last few days the scale hasn't moved Any suggestions? I need help and reassurance!!

"la Kimmer": About 60% of what you lose in week 1 is water weight due to carb cutting. That weight comes back when you're close to goal and begin adding good carbs back. It also happens if someone "cheats" or has a higher carb meal or snack (typical for weekends).
What are you eating? How often are you eating hamburger, beef and/or pork? How much lunch meat? Sauces or cheese? Coffee creamer?

"SL": Definitely please give lists of what you have been eating the last couple days. Some things that are high in sodium can cause water retention, which will appear as stalls.....and TOM for women often can mean water retention, or not seeing any weight loss for a few days. Some people report stalls if they are getting a lot of artificial sweetner, say drinking a lot of crystal light or diet soda etc...and it could also just be possible there is something you have innocently been eating that may have more carbs then you realize. I have a post at the top of the Newbie forum here that is stickied titled " What happens when we cheat, a must read." It explains ketosis and the mechanics of what causes the weight loss, and what can happen from eating anything that could have too many carbs.

So instead of getting an "atta girl" for losing 6 pounds, she gets jumped all over for "cheating" when that is probably not the case at all.

Poor gal, why would anybody want to take that kind of snotty abuse? No wonder there is hardly any activity anymore. One post like that and who'd want to come back?

Kimmer's weight went up 2 pounds from last week. What did she do to cause that? She needs to post her menus and let them get picked them apart. Someone could accuse her of "cheating". Maybe that will get her back in gear.

OK Ducks... here's a piece of info for you to chew on. Is there a relation? I don't know, but we could use some help if there is... what are your thoughts on this connection?

Remember way back when Heidi Diaz sent hate email to Justin (Hogsfan) as Vanessa Beauchamp after he carpet-bombed Kimkins with his farewell address?

Then, later, after legal matters heated up, she set up Beauchamp Family Trust and Halycon LLC?

Well, something was nagging in the back of my mind, and I finally looked it up.

Beauchamp and Halcyon are both character names in a novel Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin, which led to a series of novels and even a 1993 TV miniseries.

Here is a wikipedia link: Tales of The City

and here are some interesting highlights:

* DeDe Halcyon Day is a prominent socialite in San Francisco and the daughter of Edgar Halcyon. She is in a contemptuous marriage to Beauchamp Day and is frequently admonished for her 'puffy' appearance. Aware of her husband's infidelity with Mary Ann, DeDe retreats to an exclusive fitness spa an emerges more confident. Her energized reunion with Beauchamp, however, is spoiled when she realized an earlier dalliance with the Chinese grocery boy has left her pregnant. She goes to great lengths to conceal the truth, including sleeping with a particularly grimy gossip columnist.
* Beauchamp Day is DeDe's narcissistic and philandering husband. Aside from bitterly sucking up to Edgar - his boss - and snidely putting down his wife, Beauchamp also finds the time to carry on extramarital affairs with both Mary Ann and Jon.
* Edgar Halcyon is the head of Halcyon Communications. He and his wife, Frannie, have grown apart and, when he learns that he is dying, he begins a rejuvenating affair with Anna Madrigal. Edgar is protective of his daughter, DeDe, which strains his relationship with Beauchamp, his son-in-law and employee.
* Frannie Halcyon is Edgar's wife and DeDe's mother. She spends most of her days oblivious in an alcohol-induced haze. She is partial to mai tais.

Maybe coincidence.

Or maybe some unusual role models.

So duckies... what do you think of this connection? A weird twist or the inspiration for some of Heidi's fake names??

[CarolynF]

Good sleuthing, Christin!! I vote for the inspiration link..Or the "delusional" link..

I totally agree with you!

What the does Heidi Diaz know about weight loss? And who the is she to give advice? AND to collect money for her advice?

[cleochatra]

I think Kimmer should have to step on a scale in front of God, the jury, the court, and the judge so that folks will know if, even today, she is being untruthful about the weight losses she is claiming on her site.
