Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 You are totally right on ! I sent Renée simple comments to help lift her day at least. She has been there for us with our problems, complaints, struggles, emotional stress, and now we must do the same. If she scratched our back perfectly, the least we can do is scratch hers. What strikes me more is that the message boards on ABC are just striking down the s-Fowler family. Some people threatened them, sent rude comments, posted the address to harass them and I cannot feel disappointed in the citizens. We are America, not Entropy. We must show that we do have good values and that not all Americans are like that Mid-Western Woman, although I ended up rooting for her with Steve. I think the biggest lesson that can be learned is that the truly educated treat everyone with equality and respect. My opinions and feelings for Renée have not changed for the professional level. I just want both families to be able to move on peacefully and harmoniously. But kids adapt to their parent's behavior and if both parent's do not behave in one mind-set, this could lead to confusion among the kids so I wish everyone who is reading this, the Long family, and the s-Fowler family some good mental health, as Dr. Fraiser Crane said. ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 11:53:24 AM Subject: I Spoke with and I spoke briefly today. She would like to thank those of you such as Charley who said, " Reality T..V. is not reality, it's ratings. Regardless of what others might say or think about you and your family, now that you've been on television, I still hold you in the highest regard. You're dedicated to helping others, and I sense that that fits for both the professional and personal aspects of your life. Thank you for your podcast, . " I like all of you was not prepared for certain things that were said on " Wife Swap " , however I tried to keep in mind that this 44 minute show was taped over a 14 day period. Meaning we only saw 22 minutes of each couples 20,000+ minutes together, that's 0.11% of the time they spent together. Please join with me in sending encouragement and positive energy. She has been a support to all of us, or we wouldn't be a part of this group, and it's now our turn to support her. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Oh my, when I joined this group, I had no idea it was for the lady on wife swap. I watched that show and was in tears by the time it was over - it's so very sad to me that there are people like that in this world. We had a really bad snow storm last month. Two days before it hit, I was at an appointment and there was a lady there who came in. She started talking about how afraid she was that bad weather was coming because she had only a fireplace for heat and no wood left. I told her that I had wood enough to get her through several days if she could come and get it. Well, the storm hit and no one could get up or down our street. She called me, I didn't know what to do - she couldn't get in, I couldn't get out. My son and I came up with a solution - he loaded the wood onto his sled and pulled it up to the main road where we met her. If we had shunned her because of the fact that she was overweight and not very educated, she may have frozen during the storm. I'm so very proud of my son for helping another person in need, and not judging them by what others " think " people should look or act like. I'm so distraught at how that little girl was shunning the other mom on the show and at the end talked about how she wasn't very " educated " . That's something she was taught. > > and I spoke briefly today.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 If people judged me by what my husband says and does we'd have problems! We are two extremely different people that say and do things entirely differently. This actually makes our lives together interesting. I can also say he does and says things without thinking that he later regrets because his internal filter does not always work too well. While he loves me and is supportive of my weight loss he can be very critical of other women that are overweight that he doesn't know. This is again mainly due to his internal filter not always working properly. I am not one to make excuses for him though and do tell him when what he says is wrong. I haven't seen the show, but I can say that you never know what may have been said to instigate 's husband. This is one of the big things with reality tv as many things are taken out of context just like if you talk with the media. It's too bad that said she didn't learn anything from the other family because I am a firm believer you learn something new everyday in every experience. I'll try to catch the rerun on Hulu in a week or two. It normally takes them that long to get new shows up.
