Thank you - although I wasn't tooting my own horn, or expecting
congratulations by what I said. I simply wanted to point out that you can lose weight. If I did more exercise I'd prolly lose more. If I didn't occasionally "break out" I'd prolly lose more. But I'm doing it nice n easy, not banning different foods because they are bad. And I'm doing it as a diabetic. It is awkward trying to calculate how much food/insulin to have to avoid hypos. My specialist and I have worked out a rough guide but it still needs to be fine tuned - too much insulin and I have a hypo and guzzle anything in sight. Not enough and I go to sleep. So far so good.... -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Qof DU) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html Member of the Houston 2004 Party Animals "Loren in Seattle" wrote in message news:XD_Ya.102824$YN5.71431@sccrnsc01... Way to go Sharon Loren in Seattle "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u... Okay, I'm going to step in here and reveal a secret - my starting weight at WW. NO-ONE except the weigher chick at WW knows this. I'm loathe to admit it because I am deeply embarassed. I weighed in at 125 kilos (that's roughly 250 pounds). You say your mom is 100 pounds overweight - that is not life and death, sad, not beneficial to her health yes, but not lethal. You mum needs to work with her GP, and if necessary a specialist. She doesn't have to alter her life dramatically - just cutting out butter on toast/bread can help her to lose a pound a week which would very quickly add up. That's what I'm doing at the moment - little changes - and they have added up to going from a tight size 26 to a comfortable size 18 in six months. And what's better - IT HASN'T COME BACK!! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Qof DU) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html Member of the Houston 2004 Party Animals "Cheyne" wrote in message om... I do work full-time... I WORK 60 HOURS a week.... as a pastry chef in a restaurant in downtown Houston... I live in a CRAPPY apartment, which I just moved into just so I could take a cut in rent... to help my mom... I now live on the bottom floor so my mom can come visit me because she cant walk up stairs at all..I cant take a semester off, I am enrolled in a private college *Art Institute* where I have 40,000 dollars I owe regardless if I attend or not, my butt is signed into that for life. If I take a semester off, they bill me for it as if I was still attending, I also currently have a 4.0 GPA and have a few women chef scholarships that ride on me being in attendance, or I will lose those too... So in otherwords, you tell me to give up the only chance I have to succeed in life to help my mom yet I am doing everything I can to help her.... I get no sleep.. I work and do homework all day long... I have no car... I am sewing quilt blocks to TRY AND raise some extra money besides what I set aside from the cut in my rent.... I am still a child... what can you say you knew at 22?? The same as you know now???? If thats the case then I should be a genius?? I have a whole life to learn, and being 5 feet tall doesnt help any. My mom is over 100 lbs overweight... she has done the research believe me... She knows this can help her, everything else hasnt... AT least its a shot... You make it sound like, if you had a chance to survive from cancer by getting chemo one more time, you wouldnt do it... just because it COULD have the possibility of NOT working... Its worth the try... You arent trying to slam me, yet everything you said was a direct slam... I am doing what I can.... I work, I MAINTAIN a 4.0 GPA, I cut my rent back... I am living on a sandwich a day, sewing quilt blocks.... and consistently attending all classes and school which run from 7 in the morning to 11 at night... I didnt ask to be hurt... and if anything... my feelings have just been crushed... I didnt ask for you to give me money... I just asked to trade... :*( If you were hurt, you would want your daughter to do the same... or would you be honored your daughter did this?? MY mom doesnt know I am doing this for her... I just want to repay her for the love and support she has given me... CNYstitcher wrote in message ... Cheyne wrote: I was referred here by someone in another group in another place who also posts here and said that this group likes to trade quilt blocks. You really should say who referred you as this is not something that a regular member would do a daughter who is only 22, I am just a child asking for some help. These last 2 statements are contradictory. A person who is 22 can no longer be considered a child. Also, if the situation is so dire, not returning to college for a semester might be a better option - instead, what about working full-time to help earn the money needed to defray the cost of medical treatment? Everything I have read has said that gastric-bypass surgery is something that is *not considered for tha majority of people, and they must be at least 100 pounds overweight. In reading your original post, you have mentioned issues that affect my mother as well - thyroid problems, blood pressure, arthritis. I am not asking for help for my mother, but am doing everything I can to see that she gets the help that she needs. She is still able to work, adn so she does so. She takes medicine for her thyroid, which may or may not help, medicines for depression and fibromyalgia, and who knows what else as she has chosen NOT to keep me posted of her continuing medical troubles. Several times, my DH and I have sent her money to help her out with finances because she needed to use her money for doctors visits and medicines. I am not trying to slam you, just suggesting that, instead of furthering your education (especially if there are children at home that your mother is having difficutly taking care of), take time to work and earn some money to help with everything. College will still be there. |

I'm trying to get clear on some of this topic.
As I read the quote from the charter that was posted on this thread, I don't see any "no selling/advertising" language. The "no selling/advertising" part seems to come from "ground rules" (made by whom? binding on whom?) at some later date. Or am I missing something? The Usenet FAQ mention that advertising may be treated with disdain and is discouraged, but is not necessarily forbidden. There was even a mention in the FAQ that a brief, one-time advertisement would not usually be cause for abuse. Again, did I miss something? As I reviewed this thread, it did go on quite a while, and got sarcastic and disrespectful, before anyone actually mentioned to Cheyne that her advertising was "against the rules." The conversaton among the RCTQ insiders treated these rules as though they should be universally known. A newsgroup newbie might not even know there are FAQ. (I have no idea how new Cheyne may be; perhaps she *should" have known better.) I don't know if Cheyne is for real or not, but more clarity and gentleness on our part at the very beginning of this thread might have kept the heat down. Philip |

... I'm trying to get clear on some of this topic. Same here. I don't read the group for a week and have to catch up. :-) As I reviewed this thread, it did go on quite a while, and got sarcastic and disrespectful, before anyone actually mentioned to Cheyne that her advertising was "against the rules." The conversaton among the RCTQ insiders treated these rules as though they should be universally known. A newsgroup newbie might not even know there are FAQ. (I have no idea how new Cheyne may be; perhaps she *should" have known better.) I reviewed the various threads too, using Google to help me "catch up" on what I'm reading here. I don't know if Cheyne is for real or not, but more clarity and gentleness on our part at the very beginning of this thread might have kept the heat down. Cheyne is an unusual name, so it wasn't too difficult to do a Google search. At first, I was looking for connections to "our" (well, many other groups share in this) usenet troll to whom I'd prefer not to give credit (the old-timers know her well), as she is always willing to add to her growing portfolio of tomfoolery, so it is conceivable that the referenced email which Cheyne does not claim was the work said troll, but I digress). If this Cheyne is the person she says she is (and not an impersonator), then I've just read a flattering (well, I think so anyway) article about her and a few of her peers from the web archives (originally from the Houston Chonicle back in 2000), about a young woman of 19 who formed a company to do something about the drug abuse present in the rave parties they enjoyed attending. This certainly fits with the entrepreneurial person we've met here, so her defending what's left of her Google presence, is certainly justified, as it will likely be read by a future employer unless she is lucky enough to be running the dang company herself. Yes, that's probably a duel-edged swoard defense, but pretty much brings it all back around to the original theme. Hey, I'm not taking sides, just presenting what I've read. And remember folks...whatever you write here will be here for your grandchildren and everyone else to read. -- KCK ( in Texas) Take out the DOG before sending email |

Thanks!
I don't really know. The black will obviously recede. How can I use that most effectively? I'm really still in the planning stages. I'm searching the web trying to find pictures of how others have done it effectively and see what I think "works". Will keep you posted! Thanks for the support! -Charlotte wrote: Personally I don't know why they think that this quilt is advanced. I would say that it may be intermediate due to the different blocks needed and getting the layout right. The actual blocks themselves are easy. I think the colors suggested sound great- which ones to be the background and which to be the "accent" color? Good luck Julie Richmond, VA |

Ok ladies,
I don't know about you, but I have read enough wineing and complaining from this poster to last me forever! The subject wil not die, *but* you can apply a 'kill filter' to your e-mail and it will go away. I am using Agent to read this newsgroup and if you are too, you can simply add her to the kill filter list so I will never receive another message from her on the list. She may send them, but I will never see them! If you are using Outlook, you can block the sender, or block the subject. This is just my suggestion. Huggs!

Thank you Philip.. I am new... I didnt know that those were the
rules.. but no one ever offered them to me.. instead they choose to call me troll and knock me down. If they had just said it from the beginning I would have respected that but they had to disrespect me before ever saying anything. |
