Hi , Im all moved in.........Im so glad....What happened to you .I don't see you on the relationship forum.....I missed you  It's ok I found you so Ill be talking to you soon........

[barn babe]

Yep. Let's move on, people. Post up your diet and exercise plans, and let's all have a look at them!  : )  I can tweak a plan with the best of 'em!  :D

Hey!! Are you all eating right and exercising? This is the fitness forum! JUST KIDDING people. Glad you all are coming around to being a little understanding and welcoming Barn back over there. I too had many heated debates with Barn and I must admit some made me furious. But, we are allowed our opinions and our freedom of speech. So, I say to all those others who are over there crying about this and that, grab your *&^% and hang on tight. If you cant hang with the big dogs then get out! I myself enjoyed the debates (which were many). You all sound like great people, and I am  glad to see you all here on the fitness forum. So grab your protein bars and dumbells and join us over here! The conversations may not be as exciting and controversial, but we have fun.

Thank you BB:)  Everyone makes mistakes, and nobody is an angel.  People who don't understand that mentality, well truthfully, I lose respect for what they have to say.  I know you'll come back when you are ready, and I think you will be surprised at how much you've been missed.  In addition, I was thinking of creating a post for the locals on the forum to make a pact of rules.  Like 2-3 rules - max.  This might help ideas flourish, opinions be heard, without the rest of it.

What I enjoy about your writing is that you present a strong opinion, and back it up with facts and debate.  You are amazing with debate, which is why you probably became an attorney:)  I may not always agree with you, but you make me think even deeper about my own personal beliefs and why I believe them.  We need people like you, who are not afraid to speak up and present different sides to the same argument.  In addition, you gave me some good advice during my first post.  I got angry and I dealt with a lot of feelings.   I started dealing with something extremely unpleasant in my relationship, in my thinking, and we got some help.  I feel like you were part of what helped me get there.  My boyfriend and I are still together, and I cannot tell you how this forum has helped me open my eyes and speak to him in an open, honest manner about something very painful to me.  We are stronger than ever now, and our communication has been key to our relationship.  

We (me and my boyfriend) were so intrigued with your writing, we sit side by side at the computer to read what you are going to say at times.  I know, I know... we need to find more things to do!!!  LOL  However, I am addicted to the forum and he enjoys learning about the topics and giving his opinion, which leads to our own lively debate!

My point is that you are a valuable piece of the forum, and when you are ready to come back, please come back.

Please can you come back there.....I really do miss you all the advise you gave me it helped... WE ALL LOVE YOU.....

Hey, Barn Babe. I was sorry too to see how things were going. As I said on the other post, I think if we have a problem with a person we should take it up with that person not just sit around and complain about them to others. You are very upfront and honest and I like that. I tend to be that way too, which gets me into trouble sometimes! I don't like to play games. If someone's hurt my feelings or offended me, I usually let them know so that we can clear the air.
We may not agree on a lot of things (mostly religion!), but I did kinda enjoy the debates with you and I thought you did too for awhile there. Of course, it's hard to tell when it's written out like this if the person's angry or amused or what, but I thought you did enjoy the debates sometimes. Maybe I was wrong.
I think we all need to remember and be careful of (and I speak for myself too) getting in people's faces and attacking them. We all have different beliefs, views, ideas, etc. That's what makes things more interesting! If we were all exactly the same, we would be robots. I think everything just needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
I think we all just forgot our manners for awhile there! I try to remember my mom always saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" And "We should treat others as we want to be treated." Boy, I think we ALL need a reminder of this once in awhile!
Please forgive me if I've ever offended you in anyway. I try to not get too pushy with my beliefs, I just get so excited about it sometimes that I forget! So I hope I didn't push you too much. Anyway, I'm not one to hold grudges or unforgiveness. I hope that we can all just respect each others opinions, beliefs, etc. and just remember that this site is for all of us to help and encourage each other in whatever way we can. PEACE!

My post is not a joke, I'm really serious about this.  Please come back over. You're sorely missed.

Hey, this might sound strange coming from me, but I think it would be great if you came back over to the Relationship forum.  You give another side of things, cut through the bull **** and we need that.  If everyone answers the same how is that helping people?  I don't care that you're an atheist or whatever your politcal views are, you have a point of view that is interesting and frankly, we need that.  We need people from with all points of views and walks of life.

I know I haven't been nice to you at times, and said some mean things and I'm sorry about that.   I kind of liked reading your comments...they did make me think.   You made a lot of people think.  

So come back BB....please...people are suffering and need your point of view.  Come on back...come on....all you're answering here is about health, what about the people suffering from a bad marriage or relationship???  They need you too.  I am serious here, it would be great if you came back over to the R-forum.  Hope you change your mind and come back.  I think a lot more people would be happier about it than you think. ;o)   May

I was no saint over there, koukla. Most of what happened was my own fault. I have thought about my behavior there, some of the things I said. You don't need to feel badly. Not when I was at the center of it!  I pushed a lot of people's buttons, and they pushed mine. Not a good situation overall. Some of them still sound hostile, so it's best if I keep my distance. : )

You give good advice over there - keep it up!  I know if I post there  it will stir sh*t up again just because I'm posting, and that's not productive for the forum. It's best if I stay away. And it's not a big deal to me. : ) I'm busy with other stuff anyway.

I'll see you around here, anyway.  Both you and bip have been very kind, and I appreciate your kindness.

[koukla29]

I am really ashamed of that board.  I hope you don't blame me BB.  I feel awful.  I wish you'd come back, but I respect your silence at this time.

Ya, I brought my puupy with me she is doing good.Whatever happened over the other forum Ill still keep in touch with you cause you did nothing wrong to me.....KEEp IN touch......

[barn babe]

Thanks for the kind words, bip. : ) I'm glad the move went well, I know it was a rocky period for you.  Didn't you get to bring your puppy with you!   :)  

I'm staying away from the relationship forum for a while. I might be back there sometime, but not anytime soon. I'm happy here.  :)  I'll see you around!  Thanks again for your kind thoughts, bip.  I always enjoyed your posts over there.
