    WOW!!! I thought "cformica" was correct in her assessment and feel that she politely mentioned that she thought people should put personal stories in the threads they belong in and not post personal debauchery stories in the recipe section or the nutrition section. Yet so many of you jumped down her throat. You felt the right to express your opinion and ridicule "cformica". I was going to look for some support here, but maybe I will just keep to myself. Good Luck to all.

    We're here to support! :smile: This post is dead except for my random stupidness. lol. Welcome!
  • ....isn't myfitnesspal supposed to be a website about food, nutrition, weight loss & dieting? i've been seeing a lot of "off topic" posts about personal matters such as love lives, work, etc. i say save that for facebook and leave the mfp message boards/blogs for sharing recipes, bragging about your weight loss success & dieting support for those of us who need it. :flowerforyou:

    ps. there are boards for "off topic" subjects. my post was not meant to insult anyone - it was just to say that *i* go to the food/nutrition/dieting boards for that specific information. if i wanted to read about someone's drunken weekend adventures (which are certainly entertaining), i'd go to another website, or to the "chit chat" board. believe me, i have a lot that goes on in my life other than my diet that i like to share, but i know there's an appropriate place.
    Well said!!! Could not have been said BETTER!!!!

    HA!

    8 pages of NOTHING.

    Excellent.

    :devil:

    Isn't there a 176-part thread about that already? "The thread about nothing"?

    Oh, not quite dead.....although there are threads for that too. Like "jstar kills threads" :laugh: :wink:

    I got three bottles of Adult Chocolate Milk from Costco today. People looked at me funny...all I had in my cart was those three bottles. I can't wait to catch up on all that I missed while out shopping for my adult needs!

    I'm not ready to let this salty thread die! This is the most fun I've had on here-it is great getting the back and forth, seeing personalities and quirks come out of simple text responses. "i'm sorry, but" must live on!!!

    Ok now I'm getting sappy.

    i think i got it?
    Heidi gets it, as far as I'm concerned, check that post. That's what I felt her statement applied to, not that people were having their own opinion. It's the way an opinion is presented, often times, that decides whether it comes off as angry or not.

    Anyway, whatevs, your opinion would be that you disagree with me, and that's fine with me :)

    I feel like I'm catching up on my stories between trips upstairs prepping my dinner. She's a beaut'.

    Not to offend you back,but are you not being a bit hypocritical? You have posted about that in a thread that is meant for introductions!

    That is all :)

    Well I was going to introduce myself again, but I didn't sleep with a bunch of guys last night. So, this is the wrong thread? I'm so confused! :noway:

    :( think i missed the bit about the sleeping with 4 guys. Probably coz i couldn't be bothered to read through all the pages. lol! i'm guessing this is a resurrected thread? Seems like it was a good debate! :)

    I cant belive I take the day to rest since I feel like utter crap and I miss something as good as a chick posting about doing 4 guys errrr:grumble: :explode: :laugh:

    Seriously!! I am here religiously all week and take a break on the weekends (I'm trying to work on that though) and I miss THIS!!!

    And I can't believe I read all 8 pages of this thread.

    We really need the sun to come back out in So Cal.

    No cable TV (too expensive) + bad weather + G*D awful reception with a "digital" TV antenna = More forum time :drinker:

    oh, you gotta get Netflix streaming. For less than $10 a month, all the TV you could ever want (okay, not brand new episodes, but no commercials either), movies On demand ......with all the major national news broadcasts......there are even some movies about four guys and a girl, but .....then that's here, too.

    Oh, I totally forgot about Netflix. I've had it for over a year and we've only managed to watch 4 of the movies on our DVD list of 200 movies. In fact, I've had my last DVD for 4 months now. My fiance however watches his TV shows all day.
  • I CANNOT believe this went on for 8 pages. Anyways, I feel like she has a right to post her opinion about whether or not people should post random *kitten* *kitten* in the forum. Why does everyone have a problem with that?

    There is a thread specifically just for chitchat and stuff like that. If you don't like it...don't read it.

    agreed. however, if i'm *not* on the "chit chat" board, i wouldn't expect to read unrelated topics.

    Yet, you did it yourself. You posted this thread on the 'introduction' board.

    again, i did that on purpose because that's where i read the post i was speaking about. i put it here in the hopes that person would read it and get the hint.

    Maybe you should contact that person directly. Or respond to that person's post and mention your concerns about it being inappropriate there? Hints only have a chance at working, if the person notices them. Sometimes being respectfully direct is the best method.

    I love that the OP posted about topics being put in the wrong forums, yet pretty sure this post was in the INTRODUCTION FORUM and is not, in fact, an introduction.

    Further, I find it quite funny that this thread is 9 pages long and the OP is still posting intead of 'using this site as what it was meant for' as she claims, and instead is wasting her time defending herself. :grumble:

    Ohhhh the irony.

    And honestly, how freaking hard is it to click out of a thread if you don't want to read it?? It takes, what, 1/2 a second to click the back button???

    This site isn't just about dieting and exercise, it is about taking on a new lifestyle. For some, that means being able to "decompress" in an environment they feel safe in. Getting rid of stress plays a huge role in living a healthy lifestyle. You are complaining about people posting in the wrong forum You posted this thread in "introduce yourself". However, you didn't introduce yourself, you just complained about things. You don't have to click on a thread if you don't want to. If you do click on one and you see you don't like what is in it, then don't read it! It is as easy as that!

    So you're saying this post had NOTHING to do with nutrition/fitness???

    It made me get up and get some water. That's fitness.

    That just made me LOL.

    WOW!!! I thought "cformica" was correct in her assessment and feel that she politely mentioned that she thought people should put personal stories in the threads they belong in and not post personal debauchery stories in the recipe section or the nutrition section. Yet so many of you jumped down her throat. You felt the right to express your opinion and ridicule "cformica". I was going to look for some support here, but maybe I will just keep to myself. Good Luck to all.

    thank you for "getting" my original post. didn't think it was that difficult to understand, but apparently it was for some. and if you still need the support, that's what i'm here for:)

    I guess we should all be eager for trolling.

    And formica—no, I made steak fajitas for my dad and I tonight. He was EXTREMELY impressed. I made us a small side salad with it. He was blown away, he didn't realize I actually knew how to cook. It's funny, I'm pretty sure he was worried about it, because he knows how well he and his wife cook, heh.
