Ugh can't believe I did that, I feel like such a _shit_!

Lurked on TTCAL to check in on some of the ladies I knew during my short stay and also the ladies that have come and unfortunately gone from PgAL. I'm always very careful not to post...until today when I forgot where I was and posted a reply when someone asked about local boards! Ticker all loud and proud for everyone to see! God I'm an idiot! I can't believe I just did that!

Flame away, I'll take it, I deserve it!

I don't mind personally. Haha as you can see you are not the only cross-lurker

I don't think that it's flame-worthy. I wouldn't write an actual post, but responding to the girls we care about and have been with through this whole process isn't a bad thing. I will say, when I reply to people, I try to limit myself to posts that have a lot of responces so that mine gets shuffled way to the bottom.

Considering I just came over today from TTCAL, I'm sure alot of the ladies over there don't mind. If you're writing a full on post, of course put a warning up of the ticker. As far as responding and seeing a ticker, I didn't mind.

I would agree that posting original posts should put a warning in the subject, but if you reply there is nothing you can do.  And I don't think you should avoid giving support to people because of your ticker.  Some may not agree, but that is how I feel.  I just think that giving support is the point of the board and stopping that would be worse.

I don't think its flame-worthy! I reply to post there from time to time and feel that giving support when support is needed is most important.

I agree with this totally. Although I wasn't really giving support so much as answering a question about going on local boards. But I understand having been there that seeing tickers can be very upsetting and painful. I know not everyone feels that way but that it's easier to just not have them in any posts at all. Those are the rules of PgAL and I do understand and respect them. So there are times I would like to do more than lurk and lend more support (especially if it's something I have experience with) but I would hate to think that I tried to help and still ended up hurting someone. All because of my damn ticker...haven't ever been able to get the linky ticker thing to work for me!

I agree, I'm just more concerned with my ticker being so visible and I haven't ever been able to get the linky ticker thing to work. By this point no one really remembers me over there much, a handful of ladies maybe!

I'm sure they didn't mind that much.  At least they know that things can work out after a loss.  I remember thinking I'd never get pg again after our loss.

I feel like more of a s_it because I don't always reply and show support as much as I should.  I don't really spend as much time as I would like on the boards for one, and I am still self-conscious about the ticker.  Although many of the ladies that know me, said they weren't offended by it.

This   I didn't even think twice about it until you posted your "oops" post.  And I still didn't mind!  

Staribeth

Not flame-worthy. I wish I posted over there, but I feel the same way about my ticker and the break I've had in posting. I left ttcal during the time that my MIL passed away and I really just focused over here because I was terrified of losing another baby- baggage I didn't want to bring to ttcal.

if you add a ticker to your signature, it changes in every post you have ever made.  so if some one is really digging, it doesnt look good for anyone.

I have to say that, first, I don't think it is flame-worthy, so hopefully you didn't get any!!  Second, I was about to die when I read this b/c I did the exact same thing today!!  

Someone posted a question about initial appointment with a new OB, and I went and said something and then threw in that my first one wasn't until late Aug, but I'm going in for an u/s in two weeks... I felt like such a ditz, so I went back and edited it real fast.  I guess that happens. LOL.
