LMAO!! Sure ya are.

It might just be an aversion to certain words. We all have hangups.

I'm sorry, but that theory doesn't sit with me. lol. He looks like a guy that has NO problem with the other spelling of that word..

I know he's looking more like the enemy, but dang if that isn't pretty nice looking.

Thanks for pointing that out, I found it! I guess I had forgotten that it was also part of the Kimkins logo.

They used to have it as a separate mention on the page too.

I took a few days off and I see things have gone from bad to worse at the Kimpound, eh?

I'm proud of you! Don't you know that you should spray those weeds because if you just pull them, they will grow back.

I think MrsMenop ignored the chore that I accomplished today... (I shampooed carpets)

I think notifying Dr. Mercola is a great idea. I love his site ... and has great info. Good thinking!

Check out my new avatar, Tippy!! I got a FREE T-shirt from Netrition for my very large order that I placed with them. I would never have thought to order from them until I saw your siggy telling everyone to boycott their website.

Not only do they have a great selection, but their shipping charge can't be beat! And they're fast! Faster than any of the other places I used to order from.

So thanks, Tippy!! I'll be placing all my orders with them from now on and will recommend them to EVERYONE I know!

Just in case the facts were overlooked or unclear: Virna Wright at the Community Care Licensing board -- that's the agency which oversees all the private foster care agencies in California was contacted regarding the entire Foster Kid Fund raiser.
Virna Wright stated in no uncertain terms that raising funds for, and/or accepted those funds on behalf of, any foster children, is flat-out illegal. This includes all ages of foster children, and regardless of whether they are currently in the home or soon to be of legal age and/or leaving the home for any reason including independence, going off to college, military, job, whatever. Specifically Virna said that Tippy's fundraising at Kimkins.com is ILLEGAL, and that Heidi's receiving any of those funds also ILLEGAL. Not just "wrong" -- actually illegal.

Now, has Heidi had foster kids in the last few years? She may have told people she did, but that can be added to her list of lies.
Heidi Diaz did not have foster kids at the time of the fundraiser or the few years prior.
In fact she has had no foster kids from the state or county for at LEAST the last four years. That's directly from the office of the California State Foster Care Ombudsman. And she has had no foster kids from private foster agencies to the best of Virna Wright's knowledge, EVER.
Keep in mind that this is "to the best of Virna Wright's knowledge" -- at the last report she was conducting an investigation through the entire private foster care database, and had found no one who had ever heard of Heidi or had employed her.

So the question as to whether Heidi had any foster kids through a private foster agency (they're called FFA's, "Foster Family Agencies") is at this point in time is not known, but has been looked into and thus far is showing as NO.

As to whether Heidi had any foster kids through a state or county agency, the answer is absolutely NO for at least the last four years.

As to whether it was legal for Tippy to instigate and/or be actively involved in any sort of fundraising for any foster kids, regardless of their age, status, or anything else, definitely the answer is NO it was not legal.

As to whether it was legal for Heidi to accept any monies raised by any sort of fundraiser, whether or not she had any foster kids, regardless of their age, status, or anything else, again the answer is NO it was not legal.

This is all based on confirmed statements from the foster care authorities there in California, and can be easily checked by anyone who wishes to call those two offices.
-Now did the challenge state the funds were for the Kimmer's Foster Kids? Yes see screen shot
-Was the money collected? Yes in a paypal account and checks mailed.-see screen shot
-Did kimmer except the money for her Foster kids? Yes- see screen shot
-Did Tippy change the story and say later that the money was for Kimmer to do with how she saw fit- Yes see the screen shot
-Did Kimmer say the status of the kids the money was going to would be foster Kids? Yes, because she states she was going to post a pic of them but the state did not allow it because their status as FOSTER KIDS was confidential -see screen shots

Yeah..I'm thinking Tippy's little quest to single-handedly take down Netrition isn't working so well.

Not quite as well as our quest to take down kimmer...huh tipster?

I was going to post something snarky about Tippy, but I can't now, thanks to ixtapacheryl. Just reading about all that cleaning...I need a nap!

At least we are letting them know. Hopefully that really means they are looking into it.

Notice that they do call it a "scam" though. That's a pretty strong word, so I'd say it's been a hot topic corporately as they try to figure out what their response should be.

Thank you for clearing up any confusion in my mind, Honey. However, I am still unsure how the judiciary will regard a "benevolent donation" from successful weight losers to assist young adults starting out. It is clear that they are/were no longer in foster care, and that the references to foster kids was incorrect. They had already left Heidi's "care" and were on their own. But there is a certain -je ne sais quoi - reverberating echoes of genuine caring in using the word "foster"; so I expect that's how Heidi manipulated people's feelings. But I wonder totally about Tippy's role in all this. Is she just a wannabe do-gooder who needs an extra pat on the back for being so "thoughtful?" Did she try to steal a bit of Kimmer's thunder for herself? Did she even know?

[CarolynF]

You know..I think that Tom should send FREE netrition t-shirts to the gals that go on the
anti-KKins cruise.. I have "enough" of them in my closet. Becky is the organizer..wouldn't that be a "hoot"?

Don't let me stop you and get off that couch!


Does anyone know exactly how much was raised for Heidi's make-believe foster children?

In defense of TT I think she believed Heidi's claim. She believed her like the rest of us did. She must have just thought she was doing a kind deed.

[CarolynF]

Cheryl, you are right..She DID take Kimmer with blind faith that she actually had kids in the house at the time. HOWEVER, after finding out that they weren't there, wouldn't you be
severely annoyed????? THAT alone would do it for me..

What's truly frightening is that "Trippy" doesn't even care. She must have as much conscience as Heidy for it to be OK to perpetrate a Foster Kid Fraud ergo OK to perpetrate the KIMKINS Fraud. Birds of a feather. The morals of a con artist.

[gettinserious]

Yeah well money talks louder than anything else to alot of people.

I agree with you. If that had been me I would have definitely questioned her about the "foster issue" when I read all the proof. I'd be pissed and money or no money I would have been long gone. What on earth is she thinking is beyond me! How, after all this proof, can she stay there and support that woman? Doesn't TT have any morals? No paycheck is worth lowering my standards.

If it were me, I'd have been *pizzed*! It makes me wonder if she was in on it from the beginning. I'm going to assume she got kickbacks because there's no other explanation for the back sliding post about how the fund raiser was always for Kimmer to do whatever she wanted. Who the heck would do that?
