Thanks Mariasol. I didn't know that. I did wonder how Trista couldn't know that all of this was going on. Now, just wonder who would do such a thing as claiming to be Trista?

I'm not saying it's NOT Trista, I'm just suggesting we don't know.

This is from a couple of pages back, but that is where I am reading right now...

That is funny I googled those names yesterday and came up with that page too. Glad to know I wasn't the only one snooping, I mean googling them !

Hmmmm. That sounds like someone we know, sort of. Hey "buddy" (I won't "out" anyone) is this your way of flaming out over there or are you still as undercover as one of Kimmer's cabana boys?

Second guessed a post.

jeanessa · 03-05-2008, 12:40 PM

Um...I talked with Trista and those are, indeed, her postings at Prudentia's blog. Just to clarify

Thanks. I don't know Trista at all, but I hope she's doing OK.

I don't care much for her ex!

ETA: Sorry, I didn't mean that like a personal attack - I just found thew hole situation hugely confusing and that was frustrating!

Mayberryfan · 03-05-2008, 02:34 PM

Just LOVE having my very own flock of ducks to poke around over at the Kimpire for me!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

question:
Has all the "negative publicity" slowed down by now.......should we keep a low profile...and maybe be in a quieter area? Just wondering everyones' thoughts on it. I thought the idea of a t-shirt was great....or would that bring too much attention to us? I am proud to be a Kimkins member! I'm not a paranoid person, just cautious. If I go......I want this to be a relaxing, fun trip for all of us! You know how rude people can be at times.

Kimmer's answer:
The anti-Kimmer groups are very active. The Drake Bombers are my favorite (drake is a male duck or "duckie", get it). I'm their reason for getting out of bed in the morning. No doubt they've started their usual anti-Kimkins letter and email campaign to every hotel, motel & TV station in Vegas by now. I expect some of them will actually come to Vegas. This is what they do.

Mayberryfan · 03-05-2008, 02:39 PM

Is it just me or is Kimmer's ego so far out of control it makes you dizzy?

Jimminy Christmas!

I wonder if she'll be able to find a sunhat to fit on that big old swelled head of hers?

jo2621 · 03-05-2008, 02:50 PM

This really has gotten under my skin.

Mayberry, since you said you were a journalist, you can weigh in on this.

Last night, my HS junior son, who goes to a college prep school, asked me to read over a paper he had to write. All I could do was tell him to recheck his spelling and that he had some sentence fragments. I couldn't do more because they must sign an honor pledge for all of their work stating that it is their original work and that no one helped him. And he has to credit every source, no matter how small.

That made me think about this:

The last post Amyb had at Kimkins was about one of "Gary's" recipes for flat iron steaks. We love those steaks and have been eating them for a while. I like to try different seasonings with them so I looked at that recipe and jotted it down. I forgot that I had written it down.

I made the statement yesterday that I thought "Gary's" advise and recipes came from all over the Internet and he never credited the authors. I had seen many of these things on other sites. Sure enough, the flat iron steak recipe was VERBATIUM off another popular site with no credits as to where it came from. And people are saying "I loved YOUR recipe" and he never says where they come from.

So I got curious. Went to the Kimkins Blogs that are on the home page, available to anyone.

Sure enough, the medically related articles are lifted VERBATIUM and NOT CREDITED from other sources. And of course they are like she wrote them herself. Words are not even cleverly changed, headlines are the same!

We know there are no "honor code" issues with her, but aren't there infringement and copy write issues?

She can't even write her own blog. Unfreakinbelievable....almost.

Amyb1569 · 03-05-2008, 02:59 PM

Hey can someone help me with something...

Philip is sleeping and am restless ...so what should I do? I know...post on my blog.
Can someone help me....

I notice when some of you blog ...you link another blog in your sentence. You do not put the blog address but when you click on a word it takes you to that blog...
Is that hard to explain how to do that?

Hey I really am computer NOT savy...lol

CarolynF · 03-05-2008, 02:59 PM

Jo..Incredible, huh? I guess Gary has no "conscience" either. That's why he can work for Kimmer and spy for her on the sites, etc. The only thing the author of the article can do is to tell her to give him/her credit or post the source. She is not selling the information (which would be another big boondoggle, just stealing it and claiming it as her own). The authors/sites need to be made aware of this..

And, the Las Vegas trip..Hey, no one cares if she goes to Vegas with her friends, do we?
What we really care about is the lawsuit..

Hi Amy...(hugs) to you. I wish I could help..but I am puter illiterate, too.

Mayberryfan · 03-05-2008, 03:01 PM

Jo,

After Heidi lifted pictures and created fake success stories, you're SURPRISED

that she'd lift other things for her website??

Kimmer is the type of person who'd probably hit the cemetary right after a service so she could take some nice fresh flowers to put on her table.

Her motto is "Ethics, smethics." Whatever makes Kimmer happy is all the "ethics" she needs.

Oh, and a lot of "journalists" aren't much better! Guess why I chose to leave that business!?

MorganMacLeoid · 03-05-2008, 03:04 PM

AmyB, there are 2 ways to do it.

I'm not familiar with wordpress, but I'm pretty sure they're editor has a hyperlink button somewhere. When you're typing a new post, even on a board like this, see the button at the top of the text entry window that looks like a little globe? That button will allow you to change words that you type into links to websites.

To do that, type the text that you want the link to be.. like.. Check out my recipes HERE! (You'd want "here" to be the clickable link)

Highlight the word(s) that you want to be the link and then click on the hyperlink button. This will open a little pop up window and it will ask you what URL you want the text to link to. Paste or type in the url of the website that you want your text to link to in that window (something like http: //www. lowcarbfriends.com -without spaces- or whatever the site is) and click ok! Done!

Or, you can use wordpress's html editor to make text links. This is a little more involved, but I can give you instructions on how to do this as well if you need it. Let me know

Mayberryfan · 03-05-2008, 03:05 PM

Amy,

When you're making a blog post there is a button in the middle of the task bar that will insert a link for you. It's just to the right of the text alignment (center, etc.) buttons.

HTH!

Gottcha
No, I'm not surprised at all, but you think she would have learned her lesson from that and not made it soooo blatant.

Did you see the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry took the flowers off his friend's mother's memorial to give away?

I love your reference to flower lifting at the cemetery .....

Hey I once knew a single gal that use to read the death notices and would go to the "showing" and introduce herself to the widowed husband saying she was a friend of his late wife....

She was looking for a rich guy and she always picked senior citizens.

I have NO knowledge of Heidi and Singinglass cornering someone in a dark alley behind the Corona CVS and SL looking at Heidi and saying "You want I should rough 'em up, boss?"

Mayberryfan · 03-05-2008, 04:08 PM

Cheryl,

I had NO idea you were friends with Anna Nicole! Girl, you get around!

Jo,

Never watched CYE. I fell in love with Seinfeld before I knew Larry David is basically a commie. Won't watch anything else he does.

I know, I'm weird! But, I'm very conservative weirdy!

[COLOR="Purple"]I didn't know because I haven't been reading about the whole Kimkins fiasco. I got a little obsessed wanting to see Heidi brought down, and it was stressing me out. I like instant results, and it was clear that it would take some time before KK was shut down. No one emailed me about anything. I got an email from Jeanessa about it, not to long ago, but I didn't know where my ex was posting. I started browsing here night before last and came across MM. I was SURE that this was my ex writing this. I did some more searching and found Prudentia's blog last night.
I have been caught up in personal drama for the last month or so. That and my family, take up most of my time. [/COLOR]

Fitness and Weight Loss: Another Dangerous “Diet”

Wow. Ok. Can't believe this isn't painfully obvious.

People (I should say customers; people who shelled out money to this con artist) and their lawyers contacted Heidi's family members b/c she is a scam artist. They wanted info b/c this woman basically stole their money.

Heidi and her lawyers contacted the ex spouse of a principal in the lawsuit. For what??? To find out if she lost weight on other diets and how much? Info about her marriage? How does that matter? I mean, Heidi and her lawyer know the truth! They know Heidi is a fraud. They aren't trying to find out anything pertinent to this case.

They are trying to DISCREDIT someone, not get info! That's the difference.

I think what's hard to believe is that she KEEPS doing it, despite all the scrutiny and pesky lawsuit issues! An honest person... a SMART person... would think that she'd CEASE & DESIST!
