Anybody else notice all the lurkers that popped up just to announce their age?
@washingtonqueen I was going to say something but you know...I was trying not to be snarky for once since I'm dominating the "most snarky" award.
Seriously though...who in the fuck are all these people? Maybe half are actually people who contribute here. No one cares how old you are when we don't know you.
Sigh...felt good to get that out.
:-q
They also like to post in the DTD threads... creepy.
Hahaha!!
Eta. Some nights I have dreams about my fellow bumpies. Even if I can't remember what they look like. Is that creepy?
If I'm considered a lurker, I answered because it took little brain thought, and I figured my toddlers would give me enough time to type 2 numbers. These two things keep me from posting most of the time
I had to get up & change a diaper and put LO in the swing, take a balloon away from my 4 year old, & got my face kicked by my 2 yo jumping off the couch on top of me all while trying to type this short response. Now I'm headed to clean up a cup of water that just spilled...
Headed back to lurkerville now :-h
Uh huh, yeah, whatever. You are soooo much busier than the rest of us. I love how you came to the board, found this thread, read it, decided that even though we don't know you we need to know your age, responded, came back to the thread and read through it enough to find us talking about lurkers and decided to type out a response to tell us how utterly busy you are. We don't need your excuse, no one cares. P.S- I have 4 kids. I guess I win.

Huh? I'm on this board all the time, at least lately (mostly lurking as I stated), and the thread was near the top=easy to find... and the big yellow # next to the post title let me know people added responses which I was interested in reading. Didn't take a lot of hunting & gathering. I've been off & on the bump all day today.
Had the post specified who's exact age you wanted to know, I wouldn't have answered. I thought it was a general question to everyone like 98% of the other posts here. I was not making an excuse (didn't know one was needed), I was attempting to explain why I typically lurk instead of post, and why more lurkers may have posted on this (b/c everyone knows the answer). As far as the busy stuff goes, um yes, I am busy, but I wasn't aware that meant no one else was allowed to be busy, or that we were in a "who's busier" competition, since it seems important to you, I'll let ya win that one tiger.
The kids are in bed, I have a nice glass of wine, & I'll be clicking between the bump, Pinterest, and some boring work e-mails.... Just holler at your girl if you want to chat some more

I think we need to add some things to our bingo card. "I'm too busy to post" and "I have a life outside The Bump". Interesting how you think the ladies that post regularly somehow don't have lives and/or are not taking care of their kids. Although that is a usual response from people of the butthurt variety. Go ahead and continue to lurk and feed off the information and conversations that people with no lives have. You are so much better than us because you read what we post instead of providing information.

And whose ass am I kissing?
I'm busy, but I have plenty of time to bump as well. I'm nursing right now and bumping.. Funny how that can work. @MMS88
@rayandbrit I have seen you around, it's not like I don't know you. You responded as a self proclaimed lurker. I guess I just don't understand the "I can read everything but typing is so much harder" sentiment. Reading and typing seem like the same difficulty level to me.

@KatieR2310, I just got finished doing the same thing. While bumping, I was nursing Serena. Xander was running his hot wheels up and down his track and the older boys were doing their nightly reading. After Serena was done nursing it was Xander's turn while I was bouncing Serena's bouncer with my foot and the older boys moved onto coloring before bedtime. But, I have no life and I must be a neglectful mom because I am bumping, right?
I never said that just because people have time to bump that they aren't taking care of their children. I'm not butthurt just see beyond the bullshit as you my dear are not new to me on the aug13 boards. I am a dirty lurker most times but occasionally post when relevant. Why should it matter if someone wants to participate regualarless of irregularity on TB.

Obviously @washingtonqueen. We are horrible mothers! Shame on us
@mommabmb Ha, my Midwestern hick slips out a little more freely with a tall glass of wine
Holler just makes me giggle. Always has. Usually sounds like some suburban white girl trying to sound like a badass to me...
I have to agree with Wash- no one cares about the age of someone who doesn't participate. If you're not going to participate, don't. But don't lurk, claim you're a lurker, and then be pissed when no one cares when you have something to say.
That being said... The lurker comment was directed at a lot of people, I'm guessing....Many of whom participate much less than you have. I'm not sure why you took it personal. *shrugs*

@washingtonqueen fair enough. Unfortunately, typing is harder than just reading for me, I guess it's just my cross to bear
In other news, I really need to quit being so lazy & figure out where everyone finds these gifs and how to add them. These little smiley face people are not adequately expressing my feelings

Google _____ gif. For example, "That escalated quickly gif", then when you find one you like, copy and paste into the text box on here. Easy peasy.

Why should it matter if someone wants to participate regualarless of irregularity on TB. As already said, we found it weird that a bunch of people who do not participate want us to know their ages.
Im late to the game tonight. I just celebrated my 4th annual 25th birthday. Now if you ladies will excuse me I need to get back to ignoring my kids while I catch up on the rest of today's posts. ;-)

If you have a certain idea of what kind of GIF you want try to google it and look under images. Did that make sense?
Oh it's not Aug 13...Just one person. Sorry that panties have already been twisted.
If we all agree, I am pretty sure that's not "just one person". You don't have to be a regular to participate, but you can't be rude to a regular and expect no one to say anything.
Would you go to a group of strangers who all know each other talking about their age and just say "hey I'm 24 and was ease dropping"? And then be rude when no one cared?
