Oh god, I just noticed, they are targeting preteens with puppy fat.

Obese children again. This time, with an image even I found alarming – the child being really badly measured has *visible ribs* sitting right beside the WARNING OBESITY KIDS SIRENS ALARUMS headline.

You paid to have the ads turned off? That’s great! I just started a Ning for my family (literally the day before the SP Ning was announced), and I hate the ads. They’re all “lose 1,000 lbs in 10 seconds!” and “you look gross! take this mysterious supplement!” So I installed AdBlock for Firefox, which is great, but I really appreciate you guys paying to make it safer for the FA types. You’re awesome!

I just joined and am still feeling my way around. Pretty awesome so far!

Thanks, Sweet Machine!

Probably something that was happening with the whole Ning universe. :)

It seems to be back! I don’t know what the maintenance thing was about.

The maintenance! I’m badly in need of a vent onto the singles thread.

I have banned myself from boards/forums because I cannot be trusted to use it in moderation. Not kidding.

But … if somebody else would like to post this over there, I do know of a fabulous local shop that sells plus-size clothing (and very cute accessories). It’s called “Big Sister” (Phone: 360-221-7056) and it’s in Langley, WA (on Whidbey Island). The woman who runs (and owns?) it has always been really warm and helpful and knowledgeable. Pricey, but not particularly for a boutique.

So far the new site is great! We’ve talked about everything from dating to mental health to clothes to exercise and I haven’t gotten one unnecessary email!
