I do not want anyone to take offense to this. But I usually don't read threads, and I have started to in the last couple of days. I have noticed that there is more anger than there is support. Why is there so much of this? I see so many judgments being made and not really anyone taking the effort to help those in need. Just a thought, I am sure this is a complex situation that I am not aware of. I just feel that if you have something to say, you should be able to do that. If you disagree of have a different opinion, it can be done tastefully or can choose not to say anything at all. We are all supposed to be here to help each other. And that is just my opinion.

If you don't read the boards very often then come back in a week or 2 and check it out again, I've been here a while and this happens every so often, it flairs up and everybody picks a side, but it usually calms down after a time and all is peachy again.
The key is to avoid the crap.

I don't quite disagree but I look at it this way? When other people vent or talk about what bothers them, problems they are having it is a bit like support...when I see it, I relate and then realize that I'm not the only one getting my knickers in a twist. I love that one delusiond. I feel like it's not such a horrendous thing...I'm not alone, a complete oddity. It's a bit freeing.

I have only been here a few months now, I have already seen so much good and a lot of bad too (been part of both so I am not innocent by a long shot) I hate the judgements but you can tell a lot about where people are at when they help or hinder others.
All of this is in my opinion

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
