@tttwalters When is your birthday? Am I older than you? Because if I am, I'll say I was here first. Lol.

May 18 1986, if anyone wants my social security number and address, just ask

Hahaha Oh my God we are the same person. May 18, 1984

tttwalters

@tiffletons518, what are the odds! I guess you were here first though, and ummm turning 30 this year!!!

tiffletons518

@tttwalters I never find people with the same birthday as me. And, I am turning 30! I'm actually pretty stoked about it. Weird I know. I kind of want to do something fun. But, again with the boring. Lol. The only thing I really had in mind was running a half before I turned 30. Which I had ruled out, but the "stupid" in me has potentially put it back on the table.

tttwalters

@tiffletons518, you can run the distance at one time that you run in a week. Plusalso I say your 10k time on fb and its great! You can totally do a half by may! If you have to walk a bit, so what!

Don't forget to celebrate your last day of your 20s, too! I spent mine working and then looking a houses. I remember thinking how stupid my outfit was and how I should have done something to celebrate that day!

Oh I like that idea. My birthday is on a Sunday. So, the last day of my 20's on a Saturday works pretty well See there how I give you the illusion that I'm gonna do something really cool? haha. I would like to do something fun. I'll keep ya posted

JANCANDANCE

Good morning! I don't think I was bitchy at all. I just said what I felt but of course it goes "against the grain" whatevs. I don't think I'm deliberately mean. I'm not a mean person at all. I am just honest to a fault. The same way I feel about some people, people can feel that way about me. It is very easy. Not sure what me being strong or whatever has to do with this... I also am not tearing down the sisterhood of TB by saying something isn't right about a situation. To each their own. And the hugs and rainbows, I just can't. It is like a pity party sometimes. We have all gone, been, or going through something so I just feel like in order to move on from something you can't draw it out. That is just me. Maybe I'm missing a sensitivity chip or something.  I love coming here and sharing stories and advice. I just wish sometimes that it wasn't so PC KWIM.  Different strokes.  I just think you can be 100% yourself and still be liked or received well. If everyone here is being themselves than I am wrong but I beg to differ.

But I guess because I was a meanie who is mean my payback was that Harper was up from about midnight until 4 off and on...happy now?

tiffletons518

@tttwalters That's what I'm thinking! If I have to walk some, so be it. It's really hard to find a half where I'm not driving a distance, or going downtown. Which I don't really want to do because those races are HUGE. Which means traffic, parking, and a hefty registration fee. There's one that I do the 5k every year, and it's about 10-15 minutes from me, it's a really pretty route, and it's a relatively flat course. I've got the itch. Bad.

Also, @kdc2007 I will now be watching Pitch Perfect today.

Cricket: "@JANCANDANCE I think you are an incredibly strong woman and mom with two amazing girls, but I don't think strong has to equal bitchy." I agree with this. I dont get why you enjoy being the bad girl on here? You always call yourself a bitch and things like that. Then a bunch of people "love" that you call yourself that. I dont see the need for you to act that way or for you to reference yourself like that.

I don't think I "act" a certain way.  I am just me.  This is me 100%.  I am not for everyone and I know that. Can I be a bitch? Sure can but I don't think I try to be the bad guy.  I just usually say what no one else will say.  Or I see something and respond immediately instead of waiting for the feel of the board to make my opinion. That is NOT me. I really am a cool person.  I have made some great friends here and I'm sure they can attest that I am who I am.   

Monkeybutt80

yay 10K posts!

I READ ALL THE WORDS

I agree that @WasNotWas 's opinions are generally in line with the majority but that's with 99% of the people which is why it's considered "popular opinions" - majority of people feel that way.  1) Just because she agrees with the majority, doesn't automatically mean that she is disingenuous.  

2) I find her and most of others on this board to be nice and drama free; that doesn't mean that they are all fake. 

All in all, I find her nice, considerate and genuine and she even offered to drive out of her way and bring me anything I needed when I was visiting my sil/bil in FL without a car; not just saying it on the board, but actually followed up over the weekend and texted me to ask if I needed anything. And it's not like we had a special PMing relationship or anything.

Do it! I was terrified when I did my first half, but after I was addicted! The distance is challenging, but not unmanagable and if you are fit (which you toats are), then you can finish it without dying. Dh has cut my race allowance back this year so I am also only doing local runs and one big city run. I will add though, that you need to experience running with 10000 people at least once!

That's my thing. A full seems more like actual torture than a challenge. Lol. A half, I'm all over. I will probably do a big one. I'll do the Detroit Free Press one. It actually starts downtown, you cross the Ambassador Bridge, run along the Detroit River in Windsor, then run back through the tunnel, and finish back downtown. I've heard it's a really cool race. But, I've also heard not to make it your first. lol.

HeartLikeMine3

Woah I woke up to some drama.
I just want to say that I met @wasnotwas irl and she is genuinely just a nice person. She drove out of her way to see us, brought the babies a cute little gift and was really fun to talk to(not fake at all). That being said I met Ty and her sister and maybe being super nice just runs in the family. I don't find anything wrong with that but I do know it's just not for some people. I on the other hand don't like confrontation unless its really necessary. Different opinions are great that's why we are all here.
That being said all the sob stories going on all day and hugs are getting a little old. Sure I'm glad we are all here for each other but lets not drag it out over pages.

See, this, I don't get. You are received well on many things on this board with your blunt tell it like it is policy. So I don't understand the assumption that people don't appreciate that. Plus, I can't say I see you being a fan of too many things that go against the grain yourself. Unless you haven't been sharing those opinions and then this whole discussion gets very circular.

I agree like someone else said most opinions are popular (this is so lame BTW) but my problem is that it just seems forced.  Like trying to hard to make it known that you agree or you just want to be "in" or liked.  I can't stand behind that and I won't. So once again my opinion hasn't changed. I think she is fake as fuck. That is my opinion.  Plus, I was trying not to go there but I just don't like her.  Point blank period.  Not my cup of tea. Is that a fucking crime? JFC.  I'm done taking up my morning entertaining this bullshit.

I don't think most people have much to say that goes against the grain, or that saying wouldn't even make sense. I have exactly one viewpoint that I knew was unpopular on here, I put it out there, and people got annoyed. But honestly it isn't even that fun, it was pretty boring, so I could see that even if someone had something really juicy against the grain to say they wouldn't bother, because this isn't the type of board that likes that.
And honestly Jan I don't see you going against the grain, more just saying "who cares?" Or "why would you care what someone else does?" Almost every time someone talks about judging someone else. I don't disagree or dislike you or anything, just that isn't exactly a Sorkin written devil's advocate response. Also I don't care myself half the time so I usually love tit you.

@CL8BadB because I am usually the only person who will say it.

Some people are genuinely nice people who tend to people please.  Some people just don't like drama.  There's nothing not real about that.  I tend to avoid drama on here because I just don't have the time or energy to get involved with internet wars.  I also avoid drama in real life because it's just not worth it.  I don't see any issue at all with that.

Thank you for saying this. I'm fine with you and @cindyrelluh just not liking me, really. I don't know what shifted in 2014 but I can remember connections with both of you last year that I though were sincere and genuine, but clearly not sustained.

I just ask that you don't go throwing out that I am fake, how so? Because I'm not mean to a group of women I have come to respect and admire? Because I'm not going to yell at every noob who asks about something for the one millionth time? I am very happy with my life and a lot of that has to do with being able to come here and vent and connect and learn. For me, this is an all-inclusive, safe space, which probably stems from only being around the past 8 months and not 17 months like some of you. We are all on the same team.

I'm happy to know that your distaste just comes from plain 'ol not liking me, let's keep it at that.

missyishere

Someone who doesn't like @wasnotwas surely has no personality, because she is the funniest most genuine person I've had the privilege to befriend since coming to TB.  ::She doesn't even go here:: 

numbersgirl08

@SubliminalRabbit and @NurseMommy13 - don't let what a few people say make you think that's how everyone feels.  Clearly there are people who here support you and don't mind continuing to support you.  Nothing you do in life is going to make everyone love you, but that's not what you need here, you need the support from those who are going to give it.

@nursemommy13 I'm sure it got mixed in with all the words. My tip for huge bottles. Water, 2 scoops, shake, other 2 scoops. It doesn't get so full and actually dissolves.

Here is a true story... I just went potty and was doing the "get my jeans over my ass dance" and it was a toughie this morning. I ended up elbowing a picture off the wall of my bathroom and the picture came crashing down. Luckily the glass didn't break, but the frame is DEAD! I came out, handed it to my husband and said "this is done." That sweet man didn't even ask what happened!

@libberlluru My favorite part of this. You know when you're a parent when.... you say "potty" in conversation with grown ups.

I'm shocked that we are having this argument. Really?!

@wasnotwas has been a constant, positive supporter of this board and that makes her fake? Because someone isn't a constant shit starter or have negative opposing opinions on everything makes them a fake? Is this real life? This makes no fucking sense.

@jancandance you never complained about the hugs and puppies and rainbows when you needed them (and obviously you needed them or you would have never mentioned it here). So now that other women are having struggles you are over it? If you don't like the conversation then change the subject. No need to belittle those who come here for support or commiseration. You say that you are opinionated to a fault. Admitting that that's a fault, yet someone is fake because they aren't overly opinionated like you? Often times it's not what is said that shows maturity, it's the things left unsaid.

Lastly, from what I've seen you pretty much come here to bitch or brag, and frankly I don't see what's so "real" about that.

There! Whew! I feel better. Real enough for you?! Genuine enough for you?!

JANCANDANCE

JESUS. As expected you all don't get it. I am entitled to say what I want and feel how I want.  I never said don't post your sorries or issues here. READ ALL MY FUCKING WORDS.  I said it isn't for me.  I don't want to read all that shit.  Which is why I haven't posted much and just skim. Give me a fucking break.  Puppies and rainbows...as you were!

And I don't give two fucks who white knights for her.  I don't like her.  She is fake to me.  So please don't try to convert me with your bullshit stories about her.  Way to go! You think she is great. I do not.

I was just really excited to share. Ha. I know how much easier it made things once I figured that out.

Well done!!! I come here to bitch and brag!! You better believe it! Just as some come here to bitch and moan.  I didn't ask for sorries...I asked for advice.  But you all can take it however you need.  I also have reached to people who have needed it and will show my support.  But everyday about oh damn my toe is hurting.  Sorry no sympathy from me. And I never said don't post anything here.  Again read all of my fucking words.

ETA: I didn't belittle anyone. I gave my opinion. I also do change the subject when I post because I don't want to address those things which is why I am usually bragging, right?  That is very real.  That is my life right now.  Just as everything that is going on in others lives is what they post. MY girls. So damn right I will brag. They are fucking fantastic.  Also, to clarify the fakeness to me comes from trying too hard.  It is an opinion you are free to like it or not.  But for the record (again) I wasn't rude nor did I belittle anyone. Appreciate it.

That gif reminds me I could have hooked up with Jimmy Fallon, but I decided staying true to my ex boyfriend from high school back home was the right thing to do when it's your freshman year in college in NYC and a really nice celebrity comes back to your dorm room to watch Dawson's creek. And I can write a really ranty run on sentence, yo.
