Most haven't listened to Neal and his Sickness. Being pre-occupied with
with images of the way others look can be a SICKNESS. If it really bothers you, it probable means you need help. Here is a News Week article about it, just yesterday: 12/7/2006 ------------------------------------------------------ Drink ice-cold water ("your body has to burn calories to keep your temperature up") and hot water with bullion cubes ("only 5 calories a cube, and they taste wonderful"). When a food craving strikes, give yourself a manicure ("applying extra layers of slow-drying polish. It will keep your hands occupied"). These kinds of tips are common fare in the growing world of "pro-ana" (pro-anorexia) and "pro-mia" (pro-bulimia) Web sites. More than 200 such sites now cater to the estimated .5 to 1 percent of adolescent and adult women who are anorexic and to the 1 to 2 percent who are bulimic. Well intended or not, the sites are "not benign," says Dr. Rebecka Peebles, a specialist in adolescent medicine at Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. In "Surfing for Thinness: A Pilot Study of Pro-Eating Disorder Web Site Usage in Adolescents with Eating Disorders," published this week in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, she and her colleagues reported the results of a survey of eating-disorder patients and their parents. They found that patients who used pro-eating-disorder sites were sick longer and spent less time doing schoolwork. Patients who used both pro-eating-disorder and pro-recovery sites were admitted to the hospital more times than nonusers. Many experts find the pro-eating-disorder sites appalling. "It's one of the few times in history that someone has come out and said that a very dangerous illness is a good idea, and here's how to do it," says Christopher Athas, vice president of the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. "They talk about First Amendment rights. But this is like shouting fire ... These people with these sites claim that they are representing a lifestyle, but they are representing a dangerous illness." Researchers have demonstrated that eating disorders can lead to anxiety, depression, alcoholism, substance abuse, self-mutilation and suicide. But the pro-ana and pro-mia sites, which the study says are more numerous than pro-recovery sites, tend to gloss over that kind of information-and the fact that people with anorexia are more than 56 times more likely than their peers to commit suicide, says Cynthia Bulik, director of the eating-disorders program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "People who are posting to these sites are accomplices to suicide." Such sites can interfere with treatment, especially during the first year, when anorexics are at high risk for relapse, says Bulik. "It's a high-risk cue, or a trigger," she says. "I don't think anorexia nervosa is an addiction, but these sites have the ability to pull them into something that's familiar and comfortable. You want your supportive treatment team to be the strong voice in your head. ---------------------------------------------------- It is a good thing to remember; 'You are a one of a kind; just like everybody else.' http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT http://community.webtv.net/tassail/GOODNITE |

It's only fatties who think the way you do, Tom. Ignore the obvious...... It's not your arms getting shorter because you can't reach the food in the middle of the table anymore. Hee hee. It's an eating disorder when a girl starves herself. But a man and his family can eat enough for a small town, that's OK. But when they all end up morbidly obese that's normal. Yah right!

I really do think Neal does need help. He can't even reply in his own
name to a discussion. I think Neal is sicker than he realizes. I'm afraid that is all to common with people with mental problems. The first necessary step to their recovery is admitting they have a problem. It may be to late already. He can't even admit to being Neal. He thinks he is a famous female sailor that he so harshly use to criticizes. Yes, I'm afraid our good CRAPTON has lost contact with reality. So sad http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT http://community.webtv.net/tassail/GOODNITE |

No Katy,
I think that "Shack-up" with LP and his experience with Base6 & meows put him over the edge. Then Beaching himself has been more than he can take. The group is going to have to make allowance for him until he can find an identity for himself I think he is in need of help but can't admit to that need. It would be a God Send if you were right but you know that he isn't capable of admitting you are correct. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT http://community.webtv.net/tassail/GOODNITE |

Why is it your so obsessed with Capt. Neal, Tom? You seem to see him everywhere you look. Every other post you mention him. You think I'm him. Duh! I only wish. He knows English better than my whole family put together. And he sounds like he could sail circles around anybody here in this news group. Myself included And, didn't I tell everybody I'm not the famous Ellen MacArthur, Dame Ellen MacArthur the sailor. I just happen to have the same name. Is that a crime? And I posted pictures, lots of them. Maybe you can't see them on your computer for some reason but that ain't my fault. Nope, Capt. Neal isn't posting here anymore. You should do some Googling, if you know how. You'd see he's got a blog spot over in MSN live spaces. He sounds pretty normal to me. He explained pretty well why there're no liberal sailors. Not to mention he's cuter and younger than I thought unless that's a fake photo. He can't be all that bad off if he can figure out how to work live spaces blogs. I tried and I couldn't get it to even upload stuff. It said I had to download some program to upload photos but the program wouldn't download at all. So I used badongo instead. It's easier. It uploads photos without having to put any programs on my computer. Have you ever tried fasting? It might clear some cobwebs outta your mind. Could make you less paranoid. Cheers, Ellen |

do some Goggling yourself missy. ''Capt'' Neal was at one
time a miserable old coot who complained and whined about everyone and everything. His only saving grace was that he lived on a boat and sailed once in a while. But then he hooked up with a two-bit whore TV named LP. It was all downhill after that. The low spot was when he joined the 'flonkers' to try and disrupt this NG. Sadly, he is in the 'loser column' now. Scotty "Ellen MacArthur" wrote in message reenews.ne t... "Thom Stewart" wrote I really do think Neal does need help.

Why should I care? Sounds to me like Capt. Neal really stuck it to you guys. Stuck it in and broke it off if five years later you'all are still crying crocodile tears about it. And so preoccupied. If he's a loser, what's that make you all? Loser groupies? Get over it..... You can't win them all. You say he complained and whined. Mister, ain't that exactly what you, Tom, Joe, Katy, Capt. JG, who else? Uhhhhhh, Leyland, Charlie Morgan, and Dave have been doing for the past five years? More whining that sailing for sure. You'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Cheers, Ellen |

Scotty,
It's useless to reply to a "Sock-puppet" The group as a whole knows Neal's identity. The only one who believes the group doesn't know who Ellen is; is NEAL. Playing the game with him only makes him sicker. Ellen has no identity other than what Neal has created for Her. I know when you posted to her you were aware you were addressing Neal, You are totally correct about; "All down hill" http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT http://community.webtv.net/tassail/GOODNITE |
