Pole for the lurkers

Pinecone21

I lurk almost everyday, but this board moves so fast! This thread was already at 4 pages by the time I saw it. I used to post semi-regularly on my BMB until it more or less died, so I'll try to post more here. I'm coming up on my slow season at work anyway.

I'm a lurker from the TTGP and a I've commented on a few non-parenting threads mainly because I couldn't keep my opinion to myself like the Duggar thread. I voted saying I don't normally jump into threads (like the drinking threads) because I don't have any kids yet.

Edit: Spelling

I don't have kids either. Post!

I know it isn't a requirement. But I feel like I have nothing to add to a lot of the threads. Particularly the advice threads.

I don't comment on the actual parenting threads. I usually stick to drinking, randoms, and fun stuff.

I'm another TTGP lurker. I've started posting on here more in the past week or so because TTGP has slowed down a lot. I feel like TB in general is slower, which makes it easier to keep up.

I'm also one who isn't a parent, so sometimes it feels weird, but I'm trying to get more involved. I do feel like back when our UOs or FFFCs would run into the teens of pages I didn't have time to keep up with another one, but both seem smaller now.

Haven't y'all seen some of the shit that comes off the tip of my fingers? Post and keep on rolling.

@HilarityEnsued‌ well, I just made the perfect example of a lurker being slower than reg.

but that's ok. I do it all the time, too. It doesn't mean you suck. I need to believe that.

At least I didn't copy an entire thread right?

I'm just a dirty lurker from TTGP.  The threads over here move too damn fast.  That and I'm in western Canada so generally I'm tardy to the party.

I outed myself on the Larry thread last night after a couple glasses of wine.  Maybe I'll pop onto some parenting threads after some wine tonight.  What's the worst that can happen?  Right?  Right??????

I know you from lurking TTGP. Hi!

I lurk mostly because I'm not able to bump st work. Also, west coast time; by the time I get home, a lot of threads I would want to comment on are either long and basically dead, or what I would say has already been said.

I'm hoping to get a new job in the new year, and with that I'm hoping it will give me the ability to day bump. I am determined to participate more someday, because I really like this place a lot!!

@HippoTooth‌ Bring The Captain and head over to the drinking thread! You can be drunk on two board simultaneously with me!!

This might be the best idea ever.

TTGP isn't really fun to lurk anymore. 

klondikebar

One of our mods, @bunkinmama, made a clicky poll where an option was telling her to fuck off. And a mod reg, @colerose, just lovingly called us cunts.

How can you lurkers resist posting here? We're fucking fun.

This is just the post for me. My BMB is all but dead. I have been lurking for the past few weeks just getting the feel of the board before jumping in (I have terrible social anxiety). I will try and post but I am west coast and by the time I am home the only active thread is the drinking one (and sadly I rarely have any alcohol in the house).

Cambury108

I mostly give out love tits. Ive posted and I have made a thread before asking a question but in general im scared of all y'all. In all seriousness I don't have much to contribute because someone else always beats me to it. But you ladies make me LOL on the regular.

ashleyb1114

I have been lurking for a while but am usually late seeing something to reply to so i usually just say duck it and not post. I figure now is a good time to say fuck it and start posting- I saw before that some people don't like intro threads so this will be my intro.

Hi, I'm Ashley. I have a stepson (11) and 2 daughters (1.5 yrs and 2.5 months). I live in VA and work in DC.

Y'all should do what I do and just ignore life/work/children so you can read all the pages of all the posts. Then, comment away.

And drink. Lots. And live blog it.

I lurk a lot. I love tit a lot. I don't post too much but I do jump in every other now and then. 

Is this a "pole" to entice all the lurkers to come out and bare ourselves? 

Yes!

BluepointToasted

Well, shit. A lot of those who are considering theirselves lurkers post more than I do. And here I thought I was at least a semi-reg.

BluepointToasted

Theirselves? Did I just make up a fucking word? The iPhone seems to be okay with it, maybe it's real?

bumpuser260585

I occasionally lurk and post in the evenings or while pumping at work. If this baby ever weens i will lose some bump time.

I also want to comment on daometjing @mcg1119

 Daometjing is the fucking worst.

I love that you changed your SN to daometjing, @daometjing‌. As hilarious as that is, however, I can't help noticing that it makes me sound like a raging bitch in the above post.

Pinecone21

You know, there are so many people saying they don't post because they're west coast that we should be able to keep things going in the evenings. We can't let the east coasters have all the fun!

I just post on the makeup threads.  And social injustice threads.  And Larry (but I'm behind).  (TWHS)

This is how I ended up on Parenting. I needed something to read while stuck in my glider with a baby on my tit.

Is it a thousand dollar glider @loonylovejoy‌?

Lol @vandelay I guess if people don't see the name change thing it could make them think "No wonder people lurk, the regs are so mean!"

Yeah, nothing draws in new posters like unprovoked outbursts of hostility!

Homer into the bushes never gets old.

blueyd1

I've been trying to post more, but it's hard due to work being nuts during the day and then single momming it at night. But I'll continue trying because you crazy bitches give me lots of smiles each day.

KMW08

I chose "haven't found a good time to post."

Lame excuses to follow:
1) I didn't have kids
2) now that I have a kid I have time for lurking or posting, not both
3) I'm 99% mobile and typing with only my thumb sucks (usually on here while holding my baby)
4) Team it's already been said
5) I don't usually have anything worth contributing


Flame worthy confession: I've never opened any of the drinking threads.

Lurker here but it is a combination of things, this board moves really quickly, often by the time I see something someone else has said exactly what I would have written and I don't want to be the girl that quotes everything and says "this." I am also a little scared of some of the regs because I am overly sensitive and care way too much what random internet strangers think of me, or in other words I get butt hurt easily, and need to thicken my skin before I jump in.

I just love your name

Cambury108

@credcat7‌ the user name is pretty cool

tattooedtragedy

Some of the lurkers have great names. I'm looking at you @RammerJammer‌ and @emotionlotion‌ and of course @daometjing‌ (that God for the auto complete on Mobil tagging)

jacksoha

I'm team I don't get on often enough to keep up and I also don't want to be that weirdo that just starts randomly posting but I also don't feel like doing an intro.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRINK IN THE DRINKING THREAD!

steponalego11

I lovetit a lot and post occasionally - my work load flucuates and I have to balance hiding what's on my screen from co-workers and catching up.

hurricanenellie

I think you chicks are fucking hilarious. Mostly because I love intelligent women who use the word fuck. I have never posted because I am a FTM to an almost 3 month old baby girl so I don't have much to contribute at this point so I just soak up the useful info and hope I remember it when my LO gets older and thoroughly enjoy the not so useful info.

Rocks526

I don't post because I don't have kids. I post hand out on TTCAL although I don't post there a lot. This is going to be a post and run because my lunch break is over.

pearlofwisdom1

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE KIDS TO POST HERE!

pearlofwisdom1

What else can I scream about in this thread?

gimmietimmies

Cause I took a bumpcation.

And then my computer died.

And then, no one did the boob-signal (if there is anyone around that still remembers what that is).

JBMom

I'm in a different timezone to most so I only get to the threads late and then don't have much to add. If I remember I try post on HDBD cause cute kids
