[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:38:44 09/01/15 Tue I am not shocked at all. If she had someone help her for state with her paperwork that had done well in Quality of Life she would have at least been a finalist. She did a lot this past year at Auburn. I saw it first hand as a student there. But her scrapbook was more cutesy than what you need to do well at QOL. There was no doubt she would be a finalist with the Miss AL board helping with her entry. She worked hard this past year and her efforts were rewarded today. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:46:40 09/01/15 Tue Actually, very little was done to her paperwork. Hope you don't choke on that crow you're eating. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:01:40 09/01/15 Tue Was she a finalist at Miss Alabama this year? How did the other finalists do at their state pageants? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:14:31 09/01/15 Tue No she was not a finalist at state. There is no scrapbook for MAO Ouality of Life. Only paperwork. Big difference. Some Alabama girls know how to do those scrapbooks thanks to experienced directors and past winners and finalists. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:17:47 09/01/15 Tue Congratulations to Meg. But this is hard to chew: posts from people including Walter Hill, saying things like: Well Deserved. What would he had said if one of Alabama's top five or honorable mention's made it to Miss America? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:00:52 09/01/15 Tue Probably the same thing since all of these young women work hard and are therefore deserving. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:12:05 09/01/15 Tue Why should he not say that? It was well deserved. He didn't say, "You were the only deserving one." I bet he posted something similar last year when Caitlin Brunell made the finals and then won it. What did you want him to post, "Lucky girl. You did not deserve it but happy for you." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:13:20 09/02/15 Wed It's a platform glorying and praising fat people in the second fattest country in the world where two thirds of it's citizens are overweight. Yeah, she definitely deserves to win.... her platform REALLY helps.... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:34:26 09/03/15 Thu You have a very warped definition of the world "healthy". [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:14:15 09/02/15 Wed Have you heard Meg give a presentation? She talks about being HEALTHY. She talks about exercise. Her point is not that FAT is ok. Her point is that we all do not have to look alike to be healthy. And SKINNY is not the goal, healthy is. She never once said FAT is ok the day I heard her speak to a group. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:20:19 09/02/15 Wed Why do we as a state "bash" our contestant for ANY accolades she receives. Body image is just that…Body IMAGE. Some people strive to be "thin" there entire life, but when they look in the mirror they might see a "fat" person because that is their perception of themselves…or their IMAGE. When you reach that size 0, did you really feel any different?n A platform designed to celebrate men and women for living a healthy lifestyle is the platform, NOT be stick thin because that is the only way to find self-worth. We are living in a society where we spend more time bashing people, than lifting them up, and this in turn is what is going to continue to build the great divide we have in our nation right now. It must be nice to live in your "skinny rose colored glasses" as you bash both the most intelligent Miss Alabama in YEARS AND a platform you think does nothing but give a license to be fat. Please get some class. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:19:18 09/02/15 Wed Here's the whole deal on this board.....If you're small, they bash you for being small. If you're large, they bash you for being large. If you're mid-size, they they bash you for not being small or bash you for not being a little larger. Bottom line, some just like to bash other people. It's their life and it must be a very miserable one. Either way, support our State contestant regardless of who she is. Show a little class and quit being a complete ass.

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:02:23 09/03/15 Thu OH WOW, and that post reflects CLASS?!?!!? WOW.. it's odd how some people define "CLASS".... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:18:26 09/03/15 Thu Reveal your identity and we can discuss "CLASS" face to face or in an open forum of your choice. Hiding behind the cloak of "ANONYMOUS" and bashing people because your contestant of choice doesn't win or isn't Miss Alabama shows nothing but your cowardly persona. "CLASS" is accepting the decision that is rendered, whether you agree or disagree, and supporting the decision for the overall good of the program. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:28:03 09/03/15 Thu so whats your name? since I see you have also posted anonymously [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:32:01 09/03/15 Thu I didn't start the garbage posts....you did. My post doesn't bash the MAO or any of the young ladies so I have no reason to be ashamed. My post only calls out a miserable malcontent like youself who lives to condemn and demean this program and its hard working contestants. Show your true colors and identify yourself and I'll gladly do the same! Of course I know you won't but it was fun to call you out and get the expected elementary response, "Well tell everyone who you are". No reasonable minded individual would be upset with my post but you and your favored contestants would be shamed from the program if your true identity were revealed. As in the game of checkers, it's your move................ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:05:10 09/03/15 Thu Looks like class, smells like class, it must be class. It's much better than bashing a young woman for having a platform that promotes a healthy lifestyle. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:39:37 09/03/15 Thu Can you all just allow Meg to enjoy her time and wait until next Sunday to start the drama? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Meg is a finalist for QoF Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:31:25 09/03/15 Thu I believe Meg will and should win the Q of Life Award! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
