Why the fascination with Kimmer? #7

JustKim said:

maybe I am too nice, and too much of a pushover...as my ex-in-laws are staying with ME this weekend instead of their son LOL

Kim, you sound like my family! My brother and his fiancee' are staying this weekend with her two children at his ex-wife's house. Should be interesting...

He went on to say that there are lots of people there who give good advice and are they sure they really need him.

About an hours or so ago he also gave advice on a fruit juice fast. He said to drink nothing but water and to drink unsweetened juice (grape I think) in place of a meal. One glass unless you have sugar issues and then only 1/2 glass. And to do this for 24-48 hours.

I was wondering if it is safe for someone with "sugar issues" (diabetes?) to do this. Sounds kind of risky to me.

Was this a new Russian Bride that I found, or had this one been found already?

Good job
if you scroll down you will see the actual pose. kimmer used the second and 3rd pics of them to make it as little harder to find which is why we need to be opening any that look like somebody cause if you look at the pic of Al the display one didn't appear to be an exact match. when she opened it she found both the before and after pics

EDITED TO ADD: It was already found, just a couple of new poses

Not sure if this has been posted??? From the Kimpound:

Re:Kimmer question 34 Minutes ago
OK. Dr. Mark has listed his credentuals in the health and wellness threads. He has been brought in as a staff member to help answer questions in his field for members. We feel his presence is quite valuable to the website and we are thrilled to have him here. However, Dr. Mark should not be used as a substitute for your own Physician.

I do not know details of the Kimkins.com transaction. As far as the new owners they have chosen not to announce themselves as of yet. We have been told the site would operate as normal and there are no indications we will close. Nothing more, nothing less.

The only changes being made to the site are positive additions (such as Dr. Mark and the fitness guru) so there is really nothing more to announce at this time.

The idea of asking Tippy who signs her check may be the way to clear up all the questions, No???

This was the Kimkins response to my Paypal claim. Friggin liars! I would love to know how I was able to use the service if I joined on 9/16/07 and got banned on 9/26/07. What screenshots are available? Can anybody who is still over at KK check to see what screenshots they are talking about? I was unable to post, so how could there be any screenshots?

I want to scream

file a reply disputing their claims keep paypay investigating don't accept it as final like Kimkina is expecting you to do.

I've always called them "tree rats" myself. I've had squirrel before...not bad, just not a whole lotta meat on 'em.

Was never "worthy" to be friends with anyone that was in the popular group, ate lunch alone...greasy hair, you know the one everyone threw food at in the lunch room, the whole nine yards. Then, through this wonder called the internet, she meets Hidey, and because Hidey is a user and needs something from her, she acts as though they are good buddies. Well, being the "friend starved" person Tippy is, she's so into her new "friend" it's crazy....so far up her arse she can't see daylight, brown all OVER her nose. Then her friend is found out to be a scammer, liar and a thief, but because she has no self esteem or feelings of self worth, she can't see the forest through the trees! There is no way she'll bail on her one and only "true" friend now, for heaven's sake, what would she do with all that free time? Who would make her feel worthy and accepted? Who would validate her worth? Sad really that she is a willing participant in all of this greed, scamming, evilness and dishonesty, all because no one wanted to be her friend. There's help for people like you out there Tippy, you just have to search it out!

What is even worse is that Tippy went running to be an amin well after Kimmer was found to be a scammer.

Why would someone want to work for a scammer ? That is the question I have been asking myself.

We had a squirrel decide to nest in our attic. DH would shoot the danged thing with a slingshot (we live in a subdivision with small lots so a gun wouldn't be appreciated). Didn't work. We put a trap in the attic, guess this squirrel had a PhD in springing traps and he'd spring the trap and eat the bait. Finally, I bought powdered fox urine (wouldn't you hate to be the person who collects that?) and spread it in the attic. No more tree rats.... errrr.... squirrels.

Is the deck chair sitting "Kimmer" the last one that we are looking for, or are there other "Brides" unaccounted for? Is there any where to find a screen shot of Kimmers site with original brides that are not accounted for yet?

Hubby is going to be away tonight and thought that would be a good past time!

Deck chair sitting Kimmer looks American to me....not foreign, so where would one go to try to find American Brides?

Yes, they are Russian brides. This tends to reinforce my thoughts earlier, regarding Kimmer really being out of the picture. She is thinks that we all will go away if she "PRETENDS" to remove and correct the issues we have pointed out. She hopes that this will make us forget and leave the "New Kimkins" alone. I think it is because she plans on going back to what she knows that "works" in making her money and that she will do it slowly and what she thinks is without others noticing then she will get brave again and Kimkins will be the same site it once was before the issues were brought to light. This is to say if the wheels of justice don't intervene before then, but I think we all should still try to not make it easy for her. Mayberryfan and others keep writing those advertisers, leave comments at this blog, leave messages on myspace, bring up concerns here because they read them and then scramble to correct and PLEASE everyone take at least 10 minutes out of your day to contact one of the agencies on my list that I post all the time. Regardless, of whether you lurk or post every 5 minutes your voice is heard the same when you react.
Thanks to everyone who have aided in bringing the actions of Kimmer/Heidi Diaz to the surface, but don't think it is over yet because she may just be catching her breath.

Hi Queeny dear, I haven't seen you around. Good to see you posting and hanging out. Are you still doing the late night posting?

Hmmm sounds like the perfect meal for the kk diet.

Yep, I smell B.S. What are they, like Charlies Angels? Does Kimmer just conference them via speakerphone?

They are spoonfeeding the members crap and then expect them to say yummy.

Oh, we wished "patio chair sitting/zebra, monkey, giraffe, shirt wearing Kimmer was the last pic to find, but Juniper we have a whole bushel left.
Here is the link to my blog here of the ones still unaccounted for as of 5 am this morning. LINK FOR THE SUCCESS STORIES THOUGHT TO BE FRAUDULENT-
http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/blog.php?b=3
The Kimmer one is not on there but she is still being looked for as well. I can add her but like the red dress one I didn't have Kimmer's pics on the Kimkins success story list because we all knew she wasn't real. I do however add her to the CONFIRMED Fraud list at the top when the picture confirming that it is a fraud is found. Those are located at-LINK FOR THE CONFIRMED FRAUDULENT SUCCESS STORIES-http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/blog.php?u=124458

BTW- You can always find these links at the bottom of my siggy

Then we have learned from Heidi and her admin(ions), but not what we expected or even wanted. Naw, keep this thread entirely open and let us be seen and remain above board. Anything you don't want broadcast, email to select posters and keep it amongst yourselves. But just keep in mind that nothing is truly private on the Web.

I never thought about how we would discipline lurkers who take the private info and post it elsewhere. Good thought! I just thought there had to be a way that ideas on how to proceed in certain areas was kept private until the action/results took place. You are darned if you do and darned if you don't. I just don't like giving them ideas before we have a chance to investigate.

Jeanessa ~ I have it, but I didn't get it in July. It's part of the "Ten Reasons You Should Join Kimkins" email series (or at least it was at one time). I'll be glad to forward it to you at the lawsuit email addy, if you'd like.

ETA: Jeanessa ~ I sent it to you twice. I forwarded it the first time but don't know if the graphics came through. Second attempt, I sent the original email as an attachment. Hope that helps you out!

Except for the fox urine one. I hope they are looking into its benefits as we speak!

BTW I am not making fun of the lady who thinks she is stalled after 2 days, just the way the plan is promoted that makes people think that you can *stall* after just 2 days of non-loss.

Ok, you guys can laugh at me all you want, but this is exactly what I believed when I started Kimkins!! That poster could be me.

Sometime I could copy and paste my frantic yells for help to Kimmer when I stopped losing at 3 weeks.

I'd never lost weight so quickly as I did on KK, but hindsight being 20-20, I now realize I would likely have lost 3 times that amount by NOW, had I started with Atkins or a more moderate low carb diet.

Those few weeks of turbo weightloss on Kimkins apparently slam-dunked my metabolism to the point where now, at 1300-1500 a day I can't lose an ounce.

I wonder what might happen if people began to quote Kimmer to these folks.

I bet Singinglass and Tippy would have a stroke. Just quietly go behind them and quote the Old Kimmer Party Line all over the forum, while they are trying so hard to sanitize things. They can't ban you for it, after all, you are quoting the Kimkins founders.

You need to push harder. You need to refile as Significantly Not As Described. Call Paypal if you need to. You have recourse, and also, see KimATC's post to you below.

[MissMerize]

You guys are working WAY to hard.

There is a PIXEL software. I've only heard of it. Anyway, if you put up a picture on the web, and you want to see if someone has stolen it for their own use, this software/service will search automatically for something with the same pixels. I believe it matches colors, etc...

So someone should do a quick little search and find out how much the service is.

The only thing that wouldn't work is if someone really altered the pic (serious photoshop stuff), but by the looks of it I don't think Heidi had the time or patience to deal with it. I could see her cropping and that's about it.

I gotta go out for a bit but let me know if anyone gets the details.

I think everyone working for kimmer either now or at one time had that moment when their instincts told them something is wrong. We all have our BS detectors set on different levels, but very few people in this world don't have one at all. I actually know a person who doesn't see the bad in anyone, but this person is also 180 degrees different than Tippy. Tippy and Dr. Mark both are not this type of person.
This person doesn't speak bad of others, she helps anyone that she can, she will do without so others can have, she is strong in the face of adversity, She has an unshakable faith, she is the most honest person that I know and has no motives for all the above.
That is the type of person who doesn't see the bad in others because they truly don't have it in themselves. I think there are very few of those type of people on this earth and unfortunately, I am not one either. I have my faults and my BS detector can catch those subtle changes in people but my alarm does not sound off loudly until I know that my suspicions are confirmed. Just my setting.
All of the people that have been at kimkins as members for more than 2 weeks and have read he boards know their BS detectors are alerting them that something is off with the situation.
The staff members there also have their BS detectors alerting them but like the saying when you lay down with dogs you get fleas.....well when you are rolling in the $h&+ it is difficult for your BS detector to determine if if is you it smells or someone else.
