This is nothing more than unargued tyranny and thinly veiled intolerance.
ZUD doesn't belong to the moderators.
The forum exists for the users, not the mods.

And forum rules aren't the Ten Commandments; they shouldn't be set in stone.

I suppose I am being a bit pessimistic, I admit...

Everything that little bear wrote is true... we need to be sent back to where we started... back to ZUD...

I honestly don't get how someone who has written countless posts can just accept being dumped into OFF topic. Are we really "off topic" just because, after 700 pages of talking, we ask each other what's for dinner? Give me a break.😲

Regarding the arguing... yeah, it happened, and it probably always will if someone sticks their nose too far into someone else's business... but for God's sake, we aren't children...

Just put us back on ZUD
and you'll solve the problem
because you certainly won't fix it the way things are now
And why isn't anyone from the mod team responding right now?

It seems we find ourselves at an impasse: we believe this is necessary, yet they remain convinced it isn't.
It feels like our "yes" is always their "no," and their "yes" is always ours...
They will likely respond to our arguments soon, so feel free to continue posting here just as you have been doing up until now.
They are the ones in charge... 🤷

They really need to get their act together and organize their shop...
In a way that feels somewhat stigmatizing...
If you have been cheated on, then just speak about the betrayal and leave it at that. Period.
As if it even matters how you feel three years down the line. 🤷
If you're just going to be some lowlife, then what exactly do you have to say about how things unfolded after that?
Honestly, who really cares that she has a baby now?🤷
Honestly, who even cares? Now that steeleagle25 is getting a divorce, she won't be acting like an adulteress anymore. 🤷

You're changing your status, and that means you're no longer part of this Topic. 🤷
The bar section of the ZUD...

Perhaps they should have just banned all of us who constantly drift OFF topic, cluttering the threads with trivial daily nonsense and the various emotions that come along with it...
But that would just open the floodgates for far too many personal grievances...
So, they actually deleted entire threads just because a few of us forum users decided to be a little rebellious...
If it doesn't suit someone, then they simply shouldn't write, right?

And really, who can blame us for viewing this as nothing less than a degradation?
Moving from ZUD over to off...
They were simply trying to establish some order at ZUD. 🤷

I’m just done fighting against the wind...

I don't want to belittle this PDF; quite the opposite, I respect every single file and every member of this community...
Honestly, I don't even have the energy to write anymore...
I am one of those people who used to visit, contribute, and feel like I was part of a specific clan—everything our moderators cite as a reason for moving things around...
Every word I've typed in any of those three chats, every song I shared, every smiley face... it's all a piece of who I am...
My issue is that I take all of this far too personally. I find myself expecting others to actually empathize with someone else's sadness, happiness, opinions, or emotions...
My problem is that I can't seem to separate ZUD from Life for Two, or politics, or health, or anything else for that matter...
The truth is, I read people and individuals, not sub-forums...

Maria Brown59, why should we only bring back the betrayed?
Do you really think the pain of a betrayed partner is more appropriate for ZUD than the heartache of a mistress who didn't want that role, or an adulteress struggling with her own doubts...?
Look, we don't necessarily have to understand each other. We can just argue and blame one another for our own personal messes in life...
In the game, there are feelings—real human feelings...
No matter which PDF we end up in...

Michelle Wilson8, if there is one thing I truly have to admit about you, it’s how much heart you put into everything...
but you certainly have it ...
bravo, girl ...

I asked my doctor for a routine blood panel just to check things over. Here is what came back.
(I will only list the values that fall outside the normal range.)
MCHC ...........309 (320-345)
MPV...............11.3 (6.8-10.4)
Eosinophils(%).....0.46 (up to 0.43)
Lymphocytes ..........3.4 (1.19-3.35)

WBC Differential
RBC Morphological features.........hypochromia+
Platelet Morphological features.........anisocytosis+

Cholesterol......................8.7 (up to 5)
Triglycerides.....................2.56 (up to 1.7)
LDL..............................6.03 (up to 3)
The thing is, I feel perfectly fine, except for this cough and congestion I've had for two weeks.
Could there be something underlying this, or should I have everything retested?
I would appreciate any thoughts or advice from medical professionals here.
Thanks in advance!

Your eosinophils are slightly elevated, which usually points toward an allergic reaction.
The high lymphocyte count suggests you might be fighting off a viral infection.
It doesn't seem too alarming given those symptoms—that likely explains the coughing and sneezing.
As for the morphology section in the white cell differential, if I understand correctly, it looks like some variation in cell size.🤷

However, your cholesterol and triglycerides are definitely high, which means you're carrying some extra weight.
You probably need to look into a diet or perhaps discuss lipid-lowering medication with your doctor.
