Be honest. And no laughing!

I keep thinking I've seen it all, but obviously NOT.

maybe they're members with name changes?

So while the website still says Kimkins, it is a far different site and has far different recommendations than what was being spouted just a few short weeks ago. Her site has been changed, has had to be changed, because of the pressure of the outcry. Kimmer has been forced to change what she had been spouting, been forced to modify. She is finally having to bow to what others have in mind for her site, she isn't the final word or the leading voice any longer. (Just what it is looking like at this moment.)

There might be new diet recommendations. However, she's still claiming she lost 198 pounds in less than a year and kept it off for the last 6 years and promoting membership sales based on that story.

Post count and join date stay when they do a name change, so these are new identities (sock puppets?)

"No, Hidey, you're crazy.", replies Kimmer.

"I swear ducks are following me everywhere."

"That's because you stole all that money from all those people."

"That wasn't me! It was *you* Kimmer!"

"No, it was you, Hidey!"

"No, YOU!"

LMAO

"It was you, and I have the PI pics to prove it!"

Just remember that whenever she tries to say that Heidi and Kimmer are not the same, then Heidi is the owner as it was Heidi (according to slamboard) who signed the contract and Heidi who bought Catherine out.

If I knew how to do avatars, I also would have a duck.

But setting up an existing member with a new name would be a piece of cake for Kimmer. None of the person's history would have to be shown at all. Easy peasy.

yup. I doubt it's for the safety or well being of any of her members, though. She's CHA. Fortunately, there are so many of us that know what it really was all about and there's PLENTY of evidence to show what it was before the changes.

Oh, and hardly anyone in the group is doing Kimkins anymore. We've even changed the name and are now low carb in general. Tarvos and his...erm, property...were the last die hard Kimkiners left, but they got in a huff and left.

Left the group or the site?

I think we had a loooonnngg week..

A little comic relief is so great..I love the Borat pic..

ixtapacheryl · 09-21-2007, 06:14 PM

Can I ask a stupid question? Where are the Fascination #1/#2 threads stored? Are they still available?

I've been in the hospital emergency department all day with my mother today so I'm really behind. If I could get the laptop away from my husband I would have taken it with me so I could stay current. No way Jose......

You'd think he would have kept current for me and relayed the info to me when I called during the day..... NOPE!

lol. Heck NO!!
the white cat pic has a black spot that looks like a mole on it's face. I responded to a post that responded to the pic so it didn't copy the pic. Sorry for the confusion.
