That doesn't sound like the Tippy we know and love...think it was written for her?

I use to take physillium...a tablespoon a day in a glass of water. I can really lower your cholesterol. Doesn't taste bad either. I think Dr A also recommended it in his DANDR book for constipation.

Okay, I don't understand why Heidi is posting doctored pics of herself. I mean, if she is just starting Kimkins, why would she want herself to look thinner now? I would think the doctored photos would come later.
Can anyone explain the logic, if there is any? It could just be because she is mentally ill, and a lying liar who lies.

Also, her followers that are believing her current bunch of lies...are they forgetting all the lies she told to claim that Heidi and Kimmer were two different people? I mean, they were so extravagant! How could anyone believe anything that came out of the mouth of the person that said these things??


*Kimmer knew Heidi since High School and had been using her identity ever since she started on the internet.

*Kimmer has a National Security Clearance, which is why she had to hide her identity.

*"Heidi" was not bothered by the PI Photos, she was just worried about the poor PI because it was so hot out.

*The red dress picture...taken by a wonderful photographer, she had to twist and turn to get it just right, and had to have some wine to loosen up.

*Her wonderful genes, which meant she had nice, firm, 20 year old skin, even after losing 198 lbs.

*Her skin and hair regimen....everyone always commented on how YOUNG she looked, and she owed it to 20 years of the strongest possible Retin A, and of course, she stayed out of the sun.

*Her beautiful flowing locks. She gave so much advice on how to help others achieve the same results.




And this is just a short list of the things I can think of off the top of my head!!
There just aren't enough rolly eyes in the world to express how ridiculous it is that anyone believes anything she says!!!

No way! Let's not insult the boyz
It takes a brilliant mind to use Malaprop's that way. Norm learned from Leo Gorcey of the Bowery boys, who was the true master of Malaprop's.

Have to confess to skimming. I was too behind and will be all this week, I'm sure. So much to do for Thanksgiving and I'm running behind.
I just wanted to say:
CJane .. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Prayers going out for her.

Love seeing all the new "articals" on the KK fraud.

I LOVED the Bowery Boys!! I watched them all the time as a kid. I miss those shows.

OMG.. I loved them too !!!! (Poor Satch) I would love to get them on DVD.


We have 24 guests for three weeks (sigh).

I have about 20 pages to catch up on, but not now.

They are maybe eyeballing some recent National Enquirer settlements and holding their collective editorial breaths that "leysea" doesn't sue them from Gdansk or wherever it was she was from. I mean that is a real woman whose picture was plastered all over and even if she is a professional model and did sign a release for the use of her pics I am sure somewhere someone can get damages for use without license. I am surprised that the russian bride site owner hasn't tried to shake down kimkins or WW or both. I guess given the level of scamminess and fraud in mail order internet brides they are showing Kimkins some proffesional courtesy and not going after her

Right clicking and saving and changing the name of the jpeg is not the same as licensed to use content in a magazine or on the internet. Those pics are copyright protected by someone somewhere. How icky and inconvenient and messy would it be if that ugly issue reared it head?

So yah I bet WW staff have been advised to keep their mouths shut.


And I bet they have a new fact checking procedure that everyone had to sign off on and that it is a bit tighter on photo use.

I bet they are feeling pretty dumb right now if they have any ethics at all. And that is doubtful to me anyway.
Ketosis, what you said is so well written, a light bulb lite up in my head. Has anyone talked to the powers to be about contacting the folks at the bride site. Maybe a call to Europe? It would be so nice to see action taken by another group!

Yeah, poor Sach. LOL
I just picked up a fresh batch of paper plates. Shall I mail you some?
24 guests for 3 weeks ... all of them? O M G! You're much braver than I. I have a tiny house and one bathroom. I'd be duct taping people to the insides of closet doors by day 4. I have one question ... WHY?
ETA: No paper plates for Thanksgiving (dammit!). No dishwasher so just thinking of the kitchen full of my good china, all dirty, in piles all over is making me queasy. <shiver>

You know what's amazing is that Heidi has no problem stealing those Russian brides' pictures - but when poor Christin asked to have her success story/picture removed TT acted like that was a crime. Didn't she say something about signing an agreement? Oh they are going to hold Christin to that agreement but Heidi never got the OK to "steal" those peoples identities/photos.

Sounds like a double standard to me!

I want to thank ALL of you for your prayers for my mom and family. I know they are being heard. The results of her MRI haven't come back yet, but the results of her lumbar puncture did...she has viral meningitis. It could be the meningitis that's causing her symptoms, or it could be she had a stroke, too (she had a brainstem stroke about 5 years ago, but recovered completely - she is a woman of strong faith!).

It's been one heckuva day. I'm going to crash. Must make it back to the hospital in the A.M bright and early, but I'll check the thread tomorrow evening when I get home.

to you all!
CJane, your Mom and family are in my prayers....please take care of yourself too!!

She is very unique. Her lies are not only in what she says. If you have watched her voice when she was talking to Jimmy Moore during their telephone interview, you could have never believed that she is an obese 50 years old woman. She was talking fast and her voice was as lovely as the voice of a beautiful girl in her twenties.
