Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 May I be the first to apologize. This protein thing is getting to me and I am taking it out on the board. Yes, I do neglect to thank you for this great place to share. All of you are wonderful and I hope my bad mood did not send the newbie away.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Nope, Randy, I agree with you, and I thought new members were being moderated to avoid just this very issue. I waited my year to post, most of the rest of us did too, seems like a good rule to have if we're going to have any. Not to mention that that particular question has been answered MANY times over on AMOS; I have approved a variant of it twice in the past week that *I* can remember, and I am one of many moderators there. :-) Z Open RNY 09/17/01 310/130 http://tinyurl.com/4e3h my AMOS profile ________________________________ From: Randy Ogle Sent: Tue 4/15/2003 1:05 AM To: Graduate-OSSG Subject: Grads and no grads Well I got a not so nice note from the lady that is 2 weeks away from being an actual grad.... Said she'd gotten many answers already and that perhaps not everyone is so stringent about two weeks.... Okay, so, my question now is this... Is the group open to anyone? I don't mean to try and isolate anyone, however I found that when I had something to say the entire year after my wls I was not allowed to post. If someone actually posted that was not a grad people spoke up, people let it be known what the rules were. So, are we bending the rules now if someone's " almost " a grad???? If so, I say let 'em all in... I see some on the protein list that's just a week or so out, they have lot's of questions..... Am I being an ass? Probably... If, since I wanna see rules enforced, I'm no longer welcome here, then so be it.. But I say, if it's a rule, then let's enforce the damn thing.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 The list is set to moderate all new members. There was a little period years ago where that wasn't the case, but I bet those people are a year now. It's possible the person (me or Judy, unpaid moderators) who approved this message didn't notice the two weeks part, or thought it was minimal. When a new poster comes through who states that they are a year out, we do two things. 1) We take the person " off " moderation. 2) We approve the message. If they're not a year, we " reject " their message and write them a message to tell them to introduce themselves or not post. So, if it was 2 weeks, we probably opted for the easier solution and " almost " a grad sufficed. It's just a lot of work to maintain the list, so, be gentle if we cut a corner here or there. The main reason for the year thing was to try to steer the subject matter to stuff that wasn't quite as connected with the surgery itself as life afterwards. BTW, I've never been to the AMOS board and haven't had a single period since surgery either.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 OMG Dave!! You absolutely had me ROFLMAO!! My guess about your questions is that if you haven't had a period since you're surgery then you're probably either in menopause or you're pregnant. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.com® http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune! ® Re: Grads and no grads BTW, I've never been to the AMOS board and haven't had a single period since surgery either.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 , I think you d a great job. I know you take a lot of stuff from us sometimes, me included. Now, about the period thing. Have you checked with your ob/gyn yet? (snicker, snicker) I don't mean to make light of this really but it is one of those things that us women either really worry about or really pray about.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 You don't have to READ AMOS (www.obesityhelp.com) to derive huge benefits from searching the question and answer library at http://tinyurl.com/9ll8 when you have a specific question. It's amazing how many questions 140,000 people have asked over the past few years, and you're likely to find an answer there if you look. Just my 2 cents about using resources that already exist.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Well, I'm not too concerned about your never going to AMOS...but..NO period? How are your commas and colons and semi-colons? Questions marks? Exclamation points! All fine? But NO period. A definite thing to be concerned about! BTW, I haven't had one either...Maybe I should be concerned? Many commas, but no ...'s Regards~ Jacque BTW, I've never been to the AMOS board and haven't had a single period since surgery either. Should I be concerned????? <G> in Austin RNY April 1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
