Why the fascination with Kimmer? #8 - Page 12

Queeny · 10-17-2007, 04:02 PM

Thanks to all the admins for all the hours of work you put in. This has certainly been a heated topic. I think we have all learned a few things along the way. I know I have. For me it did give this place more of a community type feeling. We are all in this together and we can help each other. Just look at what we can do if we put our heads toghether. It has brought many of us closer, lots of new friendships were formed and yet for a select few they have drifted far away and will probably remain there.

Again, thanks Tom

Hi guys, just letting you know I am still lurking and reading with great fascination. I have been flat on my back from a double ear infection so thanks for keeping me entertained while I am getting better. can't wait to see if Ducky/theTruth are going to update soon. Keep up the good spy work friends!

I'm still here...lol!!

Okay I thought that chair looked familiar.

It is sold at Sears or Kmart.
Martha Stewart everyday OLYMPIA patio set. We have it on our deck...it has the same weave design.

All that is missing is Kimmer!

CarolynF · 10-17-2007, 04:05 PM

Thanks, Tom for taking the time to post and address those concerns. We all appreciate our Administrators and the hard work that they do for all of us. I'm sure I speak for all of us here.

I think we all learned alot from the Kimkins scam. It made people do research into what healthy lowcarbing really is and find the right plan for our individual weight loss.

Kimmer did take a small following with her from here, but what really "grew" her business was the Women's World article. It was also her demise. If she would have never had the "notoriety" and the picture of the Russian model in that article, people wouldn't have even blinked. But, now we ALL have our eyes wide open!!

Hindsight is always 20/20 in all our lives..If we all knew what she was capable of, noone would have given her the time of day!!

What a riot!!! Cindy..is that you sitting in the chair????

Someone said it looked like a K-Mart ad..but it is probably in the wayback machine at K-Mart/Sears..Is that a Sears blouse?????

MissMerize · 10-17-2007, 04:09 PM

Well, I don't know what that was about, but I appreciate the care that I have personally felt here and thank you Tom for doing your thing.

My personal feeling about this thread is that I hope it is to eventually improve the situation going on by uncovering any remaining lies or discrepancies. Wow, that was a big word to spell.

So onward troops

HoneyBee2 · 10-17-2007, 04:10 PM

I searched ebay for the shirt in order to get a reference. I searched using the terms, safari, jungle, animal, animals, giraffe, monkey, or zebra.
NO luck. I had thought if we found the designer maybe we could then narrow down the search.

Hey Buzzy, that's almost too great a coincidence!

Ummm, you will let us know if someone wearing an old shirt with zebras on it happens to stop in for a visit, right? And your camera will be handy as well, right?

MissMerize · 10-17-2007, 04:25 PM

I really should get a job.

I'm still in my pajamas

I don't recall getting an answer back from them???? But if you have already sent information to the IC3 which states that complaints filed via their website are processed and may be referred to federal, state, local or international law enforcement or regulatory agencies for possible investigation then I would think that would cover the attorney general. Then of course the signed petition goes to the Attorney General too.

Also, I found this with a wacky search. On the photo site netvue do a search for kimmer. at the bottom of the photos you recognize, look at where they link to.

Found this ad. I'm sure there are affiliates (or kimmer herself) trying to promote the site outside of the us.

I tried to send a message to them but there is nothing to click after I typed in my message. How do you send it?

MissMerize · 10-17-2007, 04:45 PM

did you hit report classified (at the top), a box pops up to report in with it's own submit button.

Ok, I see zebras and white tigers on that shirt. I'd be willing to bet big money that that is NOT kimmer. That woman's hair looks real and natural.

HoneyBee2 · 10-17-2007, 04:54 PM

Thank you Tom for commenting on some of the issues that have been brought up regarding LCF and Kimmer. I sincerely appreciate all the efforts you and the administrators have put into making this thread and the entire site possible. I think we all have been hurt on various levels by Kimmer's fraudulent actions and I am sorry for the grief it has caused those helping to make this forum possible as well.
Again, thank you!

Kimkins - Kimkins Cartoon

This cartoon looks like it might have been drawn by Randy Glasbergen, but interestingly enough the signature appears to have been edited out.

I wonder how Mr. Glasbergen would feel about that?

On his website, you can purchase his cartoons for use on your site. I wonder if Kimmer did that?

That needs to be reported IMMEDIATELY! I will leave it up to the proper authorities.

Yes! The pop-up box that comes up is small - not a full page.
