"Want what you have, do what you can, be who you are." - Rev. Forrest Church
Regardless of what you think of BostonMama
she organized a thoughtful, generous gift for a fellow nestie.
FWIW, here's what Lea just told me. I know it probably won't change some people's minds about her, but I think she's right to try to clear her name.
"The whole this is insane. I am now going to be blamed for every bad thing that has happened. I didn't email Mammarazzi, MH really did receive an email, and I left the nest because someone from that board emailed Dave and told him I was an unfit mother.
"As far as the gift, Mel paid last 6.30 and Cookers $ was clearing on 7/1(she asked me to wait for her), I set up the $ to go into my account (because I didn't have an extra XXX to spend while waiting for the $ to clear into my account. The transfer took 3 days (minus weekend) the $ was in my account Monday AM, I went bought the HD gcard and TGIF gcard and sent them out that afternoon."
She told me I could post this, so I am. IMO she did a nice thing and she deserves credit for that, despite whatever else you may think of her.

Re: Regardless of what you think of BostonMama
Me with my littlest.
then why doesn't she come back and clear it herself??? I think its weirder that she is emailing people with messages to post on here....either come back and post it herself or stay away.
FWIW---besides the jess incident (she IS my friend) I've pretty much stayed out of it....oh and the fact that I was on top of "the list".....
Was it ever proven that the list maker was her? Or not? Just speculation? It wouldn't surprise me because I don't think BM likes me....but I am still trying to catch up on all of this and still trying to form an opinion.

I never suspected she'd steal money. I can see why some might, given the timing, but I doubted someone would be so careless in their burglary if that was their intent -- it would be pretty freaking easy to track her down if she crossed nesties.
I stand where I stand on the email thing. I'm not even pissed about it -- I'm glad I know who it was. I had my info out there and it made me realize I should be more careful. And if she thinks my photography sucks, that's her opinion.
As for the email to her H, I have my suspicions about that, too. She claimed to be an IP-tracking whiz, yet couldn't find the source of it? She wouldn't let other super-sleuthers try to find it either. Seems a little weird to me that she wouldn't try her damndest to see who emailed her H. If it really did happen, that really sucks and I feel for her.
I do think she did a nice thing. I think it's sad that this has spiraled out of control, but I do see both sides.
BM has to think about what has been going on here. These girls are just creeped out and worried. Once "you know who" gets it, everything should be better.
It's just all a crazy coincidence. Does she realize how it all looks? Hopefully she understands because I think she would wonder the same things if someone else was collecting and left.
Thank You.
Whatever, she's my friend IRL so I think everyone will know where my loyalty and trust lie. The witch hunt, imo, is crazy.
But, I don't want to be involved b/c I also value my time here. So, I will ignore the speculation and continue to post about kids and knitting and random other crap.
I've said a million times that I don't necessarily think she stole the money - what I DO think is that the whole thing is suspicious [email, unwilling to share the email, stories about IP tracking, reaction after email] and with all that is going on around here, people have a right to their concerns.
Also, I think her not posting makes the speculation worse, as does the secrecy that surrounded this gift. Plenty of people posted about the gift out of curiosity and of course, people have also posted because of their suspicions. Combine that with the secrecy and people speculating and wanting to know, along with the SS debacle, it's blown up like it only can on the nest.
I hope that "you know who" gets the gift and we can all move on with our nest lives.
BTW, winery, you've been cleared of all charges. Lea just told me you did nothing in all of this.
eclaires, well said. Hopefully this will all be resolved soon.

WHY would she come back here just to "clear her name"?! She doesnt' owe anyone anything. People decided it would be interesting drama to "suggest" that she pocketed the money. ?So it kept the board busy for a few days. ?
If I were her, I wouldn't come back. ?What the hell does she owe any of us?! ?
I should have just waited for you to post. You said it so much clearer.
Skankwhore here.
I have nothing else to add. Eclaires, once again, said it best.
You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
She always does! See, eclaires, time to start writing that book!

Bubbly, I already knew BOTH of those things.
she doesn't have to come back...she keeps emailing people to post stuff to clear her name!!! Which I think is weirder.
But--I can understand why she is staying away....crap, stuff didn't even happen to me, it happened to my friend and it freaked me out.
I have never doubted her, not for a minute. Also, anyone that has ever received money via pay pal knows that it does take 3 business days for money to clear.
I am still appalled that she was under suspicion. To have her DH emailed, in the midst of taking on this project, and to STILL go through with it with even further scrutiny and accusation, I dont know. I feel pretty darn ashamed to be here in a lot of ways.
I'm going to ditto Mel on this one. ?
And DandR, I just think that saying "why doesn't she come and clear her name" sounds like just one more layer of accusation. ?I'm assuming you don't mean it that way, but it makes it sound like she owes us something when really, I feel like a lot of people here owe her an apology for accusing her of doing something really nasty when she was trying to do something nice and selfless for another person.?
But whatever. ?It's neither here nor there. ??
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
but ghm...you DID come back and you just kept posting and you now have new "friends" and still have your old friends and I think for the most part your drama is forgotten....and OBVIOUSLY a whole sh!tton of people were wrong about what went on with you.
I mean, this board IS what it IS.....sometimes it sucks, but most of the time it is a great place. I hope she takes a break, everything gets into persepective and she comes back some day again.
