Christin and Deni will be there to highlight their involvement and experiences, and a qualified nutritionist is slated to be on, I believe, to discuss the plans. Jeannie Baitinger/Tippy Toes heard about it, contacted them, and asked to go on to defend Kimkins, so the show is flying her in to be there, too. I think Kimmer is paying the way for Delaney/SingingLass to go, but I do not think she will be on the stage, but just in the audience, last I heard. (That could change, perhaps.)

I think this is set for the first segment of the show, though Christin may know more. I know the producer has talked to lots of people, and many people have sent him reports, too.

She also said that Christin and Deni have landed and are staying in the same hotel..They are going to meet for dinner and a bit of sightseeing tonight. They have never met before, so this will be really cool and it will give them time to "regroup"..


Carolyn thanks for posting this.

I agree. Under new management, the "new, improved" Kimkins is totally different from the old site in just about every single way. The only points of faint resemblance are the name, and the subscription fee. All they really need is a name change, and they're just another low carb diet site. Now if Heidi/Kimmer is still in the picture, then both the trademark name and the bank accounts of the current owners are at risk, along with loss of personal freedoms for the principals and/or hefty $$ penalties. That's the fraud issue, which is a criminal matter. (Well, at least in Canada.)

Come live with me!! I have a spare bedroom. We're nice people, really. As long as you don't mind a sink full of dirty dishes when LCF is hopping ... oh, and loud people, a dramatic teenager, an occasionally smelly basset, frequent unannounced visitors, one bathroom, and four other people waiting in line. Damn tempting, isn't it?

Ahhh, I never would have figured that out on my own. I should have been able to but .. nope, never would have. Thanks! I'd like to stand on my head and just have them secure everything in place where it's at in that position. I wonder what that goes for.

I asked how she was doing as she is spending so much time on this thread even to the point of digging up and linking many of my own posts in her looong reply. And, by the way, kind of hanging me out there to any overly fanatical anti-kimmers who have the mentality of "hate with me or be hated!" I find it humorous that some of you can't even wait for Honeybee2 herself to read and respond to my post, I can assure that there will not be a drop of blood spilled while we resolve this between ourselves. To those of you, Bless your hearts for trying to "help", it is not necessary. There may be a few snide remarks thrown around, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, and we will make it out.
UMMMM - Were you asking me a question?
Or just being more confrontational?

My purpose of posting a response to you was only to help you understand how to get along here in THIS THREAD. Honeybee is quite capable of fighting her own battles. And I fully expect she will respond when she returns. I think most of us here just didn't appreciate your confrontational choice of words.
JMHO


OK, I'm done - No more words of wisdom from me, SMP - I promise

I missed this somehow. CRAP! My inability to think for myself, have my own point of view, or speak my own mind has be discovered. Hurry, someone post a reply so I know what I should be saying.

Hey, ducks & Amy's! Kevinpa, over on the Recipe Help and Suggestions forum actually did create a low carb version of gooey butter cake, both the yellow and the chocolate. Just a little FYI!

A judge wouldn't do that in "Civil" court. It would take a judge in "Criminal" court to order that.

Now in payment for that information I WANT the recipe for that "buttery cake". Not for me but for my guests at Thanksgiving. Please post the link ..... I promise I won't have one bite ...
