    I didn't fail to acknowledge it I chose to ignore it. Yeah she is overreacting, I get it, but I think sometimes people try to be funny instead of helpful, IMHO.
    God forbid the community should toss in a little good-natured humor into the mix, right?

    lol not at all, maybe I AM being a bit over sensitive, I don't know. I just know that I would think twice about asking for any advice, because I've noticed a lot of people try to help but there are always those that like to hammer their opinions in. Maybe I've been reading too many posts today!!! I'll shut up.

    I can't help her, I don't know why she isn't losing weight, I'm no expert and don't profess to be one. And she is overreacting or being impatient would maybe have been a better way to phrase it, as previously stated.

    this is true, actually. I personally do not like the PM feature, because I'll read it, then might get busy doing something else, *think* to come back to it to respond later and totally forget all about it....

    One of the reasons I'm not accepting requests. Having been on another site, I found it far too difficult to support 20+ other people while trying to keep myself on track. Also, dare I say it, it is very easy to get caught up in some of the drama that transpires on these forums. I was spending far too much time at the computer, of late, even without friends I have been spending too much time on here. Usually, if I need a laugh, or a little inspiration/motivation I surf the boards and then I get moving. Good Luck to everyone - look forward to reading about you on the "success" thread!!!:flowerforyou:
