Step over flat foot. I want dibs on the doc. I need to send him some pictures if you know what I mean, and give me a thorough examination

Oops... I think the good Doc may be MIA....

Dr Mark, will you be posting a schedule as to when you will be available on-line to answer questions.

Methinks that Dr. Mark will be overwhelmed with needy KKites..He may re-think his position at the Kimpire..Let's hope so.

Re: question of could all be able to view the CONFLICTING photos of the elusive Danielle. Sure, I have both of them. (Yes, even the photo from less than a month ago that is no longer there, obtained from another.) However, I don't know how to post photos on this site. Hmmm.....seems impossible to do by insertion of the body of the message. (I just tried.) I do believe that it is essential for those others to see the UNDENIABLE difference! I just took them out and looked at them again and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, for those who are being duped! Sadly, another visual example of one more little thing that has seemingly gone unnoticed by those who choose to defend! So can somebody tell me how to post these, as requested? I don't mind, if it helps to illuminate this travesty.

MissMerize · 10-09-2007, 02:47 PM

There is a box to "manage attachments" thats how I've been doing it. then you can upload and submit down below

TeresaAnne · 10-09-2007, 02:55 PM

Okay, am looking......where do I find the box? Thanks for being there while I am online right now! Hmmmm.......still looking.....dummy here! Okay, I only found the "insert image" box (has tiny mountains in yellow box) at the top of this (blank / message) box (that I am now typing this in), and then it only gives to put in a http for the pix, but that won't work to put something other than to enter a http. Am I looking in the wrong place?

tiggerr · 10-09-2007, 02:58 PM

Go to tinypic and upload the pic, then post that link into a post.

Look below the reply box - there's a button to "manage attachments" that should let you use images stored on your computer.

Yeah that's real logical. There was an obgyn around here was sexually assaulting his patients. Well of course it wasn't ALL patients who were hurt by him, but does that really matter? Does that make it OK b/c he didn't attack every single one?
If you weren't hurt by doing Stinkins and it worked for you, that tells me just one thing....you were LUCKY. Thats ALL!

If you click on the paperclip icon next to the smile, a window pops up where you can download (from your computer) pictures you want to attach~

....better than anything on TV ... you guys are GREAT!

regandy · 10-09-2007, 03:08 PM

BTW... I've been sending my cruise guy all the links and he is fascinated by what is going on. He has been sharing it with the rest of his office. He said they have had some "strange" groups but this one he said is right up there too! hahaha We still have 50 people going on the cruise but NO kimkinites. We are planning on giving away some "awards"... one might need to be the "Red Dress" trophy! hahaha

LosingToLive · 10-09-2007, 03:08 PM

Where is everyone?

Oh no, Mrs M must be doing dishes

Just when we took up a collectiion for the paper plates and cups.

Good Grief.... we can't have a day off people LOL.

(Yes, I was a good girl too..... all rooms cleaned from top to bottom)

But.... I'm still here !!!!! Get back her NOW (or we will "find you" LOL )

Hello! Well I had to WORK today, actually, so I've not spent any time on it at all, except to cut & paste & save the various versions of Kimkins that have been posted (THANKS to folks for doing that!).

The issue is going to be finding primary sources for references. They won't allow publication of "original research" and we have to have some citations to either newspapers or books. I imagine it's just a matter of time before this hits a newspaper somewhere. In the meantime, I will continue to shape it up & use the citations we do have.

Woman's World doesn't really impress them :-) But if anyone has the article scanned & could get to me (be sure page #'s are visible & cover showing date along with article), I can use that as one citation. A reference to People would help some, I think, so same with that if anyone has a copy they can scan & send me. The most credible references are to About.com and the KTLA coverage, and those will be included as well. Those alone satisfied several of the Wikipedia admins the first time around, and a couple of them have let me know they'll support the new shaped-up article when it's ready.

Does anybody know of any other print articles on Kimkins?

Any print journalists in the house??

Thanks Princess for the tip! Next time they want to do a biopsy- I'll just tell them to give me some chip 'n' dip along with some Gatorade.

A funny thing happened on the way to Onederland . . .

(Que scary music and fog)
It was a bleak and dismal night. Fear hung in the air. Most of the natives were shut up in their homes, afraid to venture out into the open. Fiendish overlords (hideous, monstrous beasts with deceptively charming names . . . like “Tippy Toes” and “Singing Lass”) roamed the streets, eager to pounce on unsuspecting travelers and delete them with a single blow. I huddled in the darkness of my cave, shivering and alone. And then I heard it . . . one solitary voice calling out for truth, for justice, for answers. From my dark cave I saw her . . . a solitary figure, struggling against the raging storm. I ventured out ~ slowly, slowly. As I drew closer to her, I recognized her . . it was Wyatt’s Momma. Just then, the storm’s fury engulfed us. I reached out my hand, trying to grab onto her, but were were both tossed and battered by the destructive forces around us. And then I saw it out of the corner of my eye . . a looming, hulking, shadowy figure. Before I could raise my arm in protest ~ *poof* ~ Wyatt’s Momma was gone.

Battered, bruised, shivering and weak from malnutrition . . . I see him in the distance . . . a healer, a helper, a medicine man. I stumble, I crawl, I finally reach him and tug at the bottom of his surgical scrubs.

Reaching down in compassion ~ he hands me . . . Gatorade.

ETA: I really should do a spell check. But I get in a hurry and drop letters like mad.

And Kimmer along with any reference to her amazing 200 pound loss (except a few stragglers in the newsletters, which I'm sure they'll pull eventually) is gone too.

Could it be that they have managed to transform Kimkins into a legitimate, safe diet site? We all know it didn't USED to be that way, but is that what people see now? Is that what the doctor is seeing? Is it possible that they've managed to scrub the site clean? We all know that Kimmer is still profiting from the website, and that's why it should go down in flames, but what if there is no connection between Kimmer and Kimkins anymore?

Even if the Dr. sees what happened in the past, what if he thinks that the diet has been reworked, that the site had disassociated itself from Kimmer? It seems to me that this is what they've been setting up all this time with the supposed change in ownership and the sudden yanking of all things Kimmer.

Hmmmm....

Lou

I agree with Lou. The site looks all nice an squeaky clean on the surface right now. Even thought there are dozens of sites that give th same and better information for free, there will still be people who go there and will pay $60.00 for the promise of super fast weight loss.

It would be so like tippy and Heidi to create a web site to steal someone's id. like that.

That is a possibility, but I kind of doubt it. I think if they were going to do that they would have created a totally fictional person instead of one who has records in the Florida licensing dept.

I also sent an email to his address from his wibsite. I got the identical answer that has been posted here. Here is what I sent to him:

I am sure you have received several emails asking you if you are the Dr. Mark who has recently joined the "staff" on the Kimkins website. Add me to the list.

This very controversial and dangerous diet has generated major TV news investigative report, investigations by the Postal authorities for mail fraud, Foster Care program in California f
