Not cool, IMO, to bug folks when they're trying to have a nice breakfast, but he was a gentleman.

And his paintball business was really close to where I live.

I remember being in my teens and Andy's house was close to my best pal's--whose sister was a total Andyophile--and she actually dug out Andy's cast-off terry robe. We'd take turns wearing it. How dorky is that?

hah.

Yeah, I'm still bummed about Maurice. A preventable death (surgical mishap), and I grew up singing, then dancing, to the Bee Gees. Sniff.

To Jeanessa: Sorry about the stress, girl. May God bless you and yours as you cope with the difficulties involved with an ailing parent. Losing a mom--well, words cannot describe the pain. I still haven't healed 3.5 years later. I have a gaping hole, and I'm resigned to living with it until I die. I believe--because of my particular faith--that I will see her again. But the separation meanwhile is awful. I try to think of her and pops together in a better place, but, well, I'd rather they were here with me. Selfish brat that I am...

To everyone: When a group tries to do something, and there is zeal, there is always some crossing of lines. There is correction (internal, external). There are always trolls. There are always those who like to criticize without actually helping. There are those who mean well, but maybe word things awkwardly. There are differences of opinion. That's just how it is. It cannot be smooth sailing always.

But I've been reading from thread one, and I know where the hearts of most are, and it's not in an evil place, despite what some think. (And those postings from other forums do show the motivations of some, so they are justified.) It's easy to criticize and point fingers and meddle. It's harder to actually do some work for a cause--any cause. I think it's okay to have spats and to make up. It's the human way. Even the best marriages have shoutfests. The point is that we know who's done what, and we know who's done squat. I'd rather hear from those who've done something than nothing, and just have two cents to toss around. Action speaks louder than words. My actions have been much less than many, so my words carry less weight. Period. The one who walks the longest, their words mean the most.

So, to the walkers--not just talkers--like Jeanessa and Honeybee and host of you others here and out there, thank you. Keep walking and talking. It's for the ultimate good. Strategies may differ, and zeal may go overboard, but I've seen uproars here before, and it eventually calms and self-reflection follows, and apologies are often offered and accepted, and what is profitable for the overall cause is kept at it, despite scoffers. That's a sign of a good-hearted group, imo. In a democratic system, you can offer your opinion, but no one needs to bother to heed it, care about it, or applaud it. In fact, democracy allows for repudiation of an opinion. The marketplace of ideas is a quarrelsome, loud place. Always has been.

So, offer your opinion, but don't expect everyone to bow to it and say, "Oh, that's wonderful, let's do that." Some may say it's dumbass and scoff and blow you off. .And that includes any ideas or opinions of mine. That's not mob mentality. That's just how it is when everyone gets a say or climbs a soapbox. The American way....freedom to agree, disagree, and be told you're an idiot or a genius.

Perfectly said.

Well, I guess we could certainly all post our favorites.

This isn't a really a blog, but I usually give this link out if I have to pick just one:

Kimkins Diet Review - The Dangers of the Kimkins Diet

But then again, you DO want to make sure you include information about the Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit.

So, how do you pick just one?

Maybe rotate your favorites so they all get to be shared?

Ok everyone, DO TELL, which is YOUR favorite anti-kk blog to share?

This is going to sound like I'm sucking up, but one of my favorites is a brand new one - yours! There are a lot of good details and links on there.

I tend to frequent Medusa's blog the most, along with kimkins exposed and the yustyucky one. (I'm sorry I don't know the names of the actual authors that post here) The lowcarbdiets.about.com's review of Kimkins first clued me into the fraud.

They have an area on the forum called CTF (Cut The Fat). TT still very much believes in cycling.

[wifezilla]

Well, Tippy has been advocating cycling between Kimkins and Atkins....even though she admits in old posts she lost most of her weight on Atkins.

Maybe I just am not looking in the right place? Tippy Toes Blog

If someone knows where there is another, please share ...

Wonder why she deleted it....It was like she was digging herself deeper in the hole....

My burning questions: If Tippy is really wanting to establish that she has no connection with Kimmer, why the flash in the pan blog? Why not leave it up for all to find and see. Unless, of course, it was simply so she could have a copy to point to and say "See?".

There would be so much more credibility here if Fawn's and Tippy's blogs had been left intact for all seekers to find. Of course, that wouldn't help Heidi much, would it? Heidi wants us all to think they are on the same side ... yet, Heidi wouldn't be able to take down Tippy's blog, now, would she?

Hmmm.

And why have Fawn rewrite (or rewrite it for her - it is really hard to decide if one person is doing all the writing there) her site? Of course, Heidi is likely pulling those strings.

Tippy is a strange one. Though she believes all her lies like Kimmer. Wonder if her coal showed up in her stocking, heck Santa may not even wasted his time! LOL

[Katinsac]

I'll tell you, running all over the net and trying to post and all I see are a bunch of you other gals on these sites so you all have been very busy speading the word. Good job!!

I wonder how the ADA feels about them using that name for their diet?

Carolyn, do you have a link to the court? I can find where to order transcripts and all, but am looking for the public files ... Thanks!
