I hope you meant the "face cream" and not the "body cream"....

Nope - I think I'll pass on all her creams.

Well, that makes me really sick. Who the hell would do that? Honestly every person on this thread from the beginning, seems to be of sound mind. I've never seen someone on this thread suggest picking on members, via phone calls and the like. And I don't even remember Ducky posting your personal info. That really makes me ill!!! Kim I'm so sorry!

I've been over to Ducky's site twice trying to find that post about Ducky - from the KK site. The only possible one would be a deleted comment. IOW, that post no longer exists. BTW, will we ever find out what happened? Where's Truth when you need her??

Secondly, my comment was directed toward her less than graceful pose, and speaks to the profound lack of professionalism she displays in her position as Public Relations Director.

Carry on.

Excuse me Sheridan, but I have zero desire to do anything Kimkins way either, nor will I endanger my health or my IQ by having anything to do with TT or KK.

Her lack of professionalism and misconduct are open to scrutiny and criticism. Her appearance in her after picture is NOT. You are making excuses for your rude comment, and trying to blur the line between comments on her conduct and her "less than graceful" pose. It was crude and uncalled for, and I'm calling you out on that.

missis36 · 10-01-2007, 05:30 PM

Ok Dottie I'm gonna tell you like I tell my daughter, ya can't just stand there and tap your foot without saying why haha

tiggerr · 10-01-2007, 05:32 PM

This morning I was driving from work and I had a newstalk station on.
I'll relate what they were talking about from what I remember so it isn't the exact wording. Although I'll do my best for the pertinant parts. Between (

The guest was political insider, John Dean, he was talking about a social study done in the US right after WW2 to find out if what happened in Germany could ever happen here.
The 'what' was the following of Hitler and the fact many people were turning a blind eye to what was happening.
He went on that it was proven it could happen.
The host asked 'why' and John went on to explain about a character type called Authoritarian
This character type is appealing, charasmatic, strong.
The Authoritarian is also considered to be amoral.
Their 'followers' are very outspoken about what they are told by their 'leader' and resist anything that counters their beliefs.
Their leaders truth is the truth, anything else is lies and conspiracy.

(now as I had NO clue what this was about you can imagine this had me

we're they talking about KK???)
(Turns out this was a discussion about the current forces within the White House)

Disclaimer, I am NOT comparing her to Hitler.

There was more info on the character type but it struck me as quite interesting in light of how Heidi/Kimmer used to talk (and still talks) as well as the way a number of KK peeps have been defending her.
Not until they READ other things than the spoon fed KK stuff do they see what's going on.

I think she is the Authoritarian type. Dead on.

Violet Skye · 10-01-2007, 05:40 PM

tiggerr, I totally agree. The shoe definitely fits, and the deep degree of sadness, disillusionment and depression felt by ex-Kimmer-ites would certainly be a logical outcome of being under the spell of this type of leader.

JustKim, I am sorry you were harassed by that creep. I think we should do what we can to protect real people who are caught up in this morass, and keep proper boundaries. (Of course, the fact that I am saying this means that I do know what "proper boundaries" are, which is obviously not the case for everyone.)

Although I don't agree with Sheridan, I don't think she was exactly commenting on TT's looks.

(By the way, I think TT looks awesome...too bad about the personality)

Whether she does or doesn't, threatening phone calls should be taken seriously. (It might be your ex!) And if the police are involved, then obviously something's being recorded. We'll just have to bite our tongues and hope no one from here is involved.

I sincerely hope no one is doing that though

There are so many sites following this drama, and have been for months, that there's no telling who could be lurking and reading and getting wacko ideas.

That's true. About 22 years ago I was harassed by phone (also had a peeping tom, too. turned out to be the same guy as phone guy). The police got the phone company to put a trace on. Back then they told me that if I could get multiple calls in a row they'd have better evidence. Was easy because every time I'd hang up on him he'd call back. Had to go to court and everything too. It was a very scary time.

This shocked me and I asked her permission to post this:

I don't have alot of hair to begin with. It's very fine and thin, always has been. Now it's falling out. You can see the top of my head.

About a month ago I woke up one morning and had an open sore on my shin. It just appeared. It didn't heal and about two weeks ago I woke up and my whole leg was swollen and red and so was my foot. I went to the ER and they said it was infected and gave me a script.

Last week I followed up with my dr and told him about my diet. I've been off kk for about a month. But I was one of the one's that followed the "Ask Kimmer" threads and cut out everything she said to. I was eating 400 calories a day and did that for almost three months. My dr had a fit. He said that I was starving myself and the wound on my leg was probably a direct result from that. He gave me a cream to use.

Last Friday, since it didn't look any better, I went back and they did a wound culture. The office called me today and I have MRSA, which is a drug resistent staph infection. So now more antibiotics. I haven't felt well for a month. And it's a direct result from malnutrition.

I go back to the dr on Thursday to discuss the results of my bloodwork that he did. Hopefully the antibiotic will work but with this kind of infection, it's pretty common for it not to work.

Sorry I've rambled on, but SHE needs to be stopped. Cleaning up the website is too little too late for us.

My prayers are with her. I know a couple of people who have had that and they had to have 4 differerent antibiotics before it would clear up. they are also susceptible to recurrences.

Violet Skye · 10-01-2007, 05:51 PM

and

for Ginger. If you hadn't been malnourished, your resistance would not have been low enough to make you susceptible to MRSA. Healthy people don't get sick from exposure to it - MRSA is a "super-bug" that affects the physically vulnerable, which is why it is so rampant in hospitals.

Katinsac · 10-01-2007, 06:03 PM

Tippy did say on a post on the other site that the only "hanging" skin she had was on her theighs...so maybe that is why she took that stance in her after pic?
