I don't think anyone needs to be apologizing, I'm sure Skims (and those of us responding) didn't mean to make anyone feel bad with her pet peeves! My take is, if you're here right now reading/posting and if you have the concern to worry you're offending people, chances are you're a sensitive enough poster that you HAVEN'T done anything for which you need to apologize. So hugs to all.
(And sorry to anyone who thinks I'm an AW)...
...Just kidding on that last part. ![]()
Re: :::GROUP HUG:::
you have been consistantly cracking.me.up lately.
thanks for that, lady.
((((HUGS)))) to all
i agree - usually the people who wonder "oh no, am i doing that" are never the ones who are, b/c the ones who are are too busy with their head up their butt to wonder.
and schmoodle you are the farthest thing ever from an AW.

I think there will be people who feel badly or judged though.
I hope it doesn't drive anyone away since the board is already way slower.
Yes, no one in that thread needs to be apologizing IMO! Not at all!

Everyone is allowed opinions and there isn't anything that singles out certain people (except for 1 name that Robin through out there!!! lol) And if people are that concerned if I was talking about them they can ask me!!!!!! but ike Gretchen said.... if you have to ask then it's not them!!! It's the ones that don't care that have the issues!

I missed this earlier...
Here is my take on this, Angie.
It has been mentioned that the vibe of the board has changed slightly. It has, true. But maybe one of the reasons it has changed is some people are not as supportive as they once had been. I definitely admitted a while back I find it harder to offer support to strangers. I just do. I want to know your story, and I really am bothered by the random BFP posts by someone I have never seen here on an TTTC. I am always happy when an IFer gets her miracle, but please share more with us. (I know, I am showing my bitter again) Same goes for a post about testing or spotting or whatever. I am less likely to post because my time is limited. I post when E is sleeping, or playing in his exersaucer. Since I have less time, I am certainly going to reply to my 'friends' first and then to others next... I save posts from those I don't know for last and I might never get to them. I do go to TTTC and lurk often, so I 'know' many of them, so when they get here, I am thrilled for them.
as far as people getting their feelings hurt about our pet peeves, I can only speak for myself, I was hurt when Avebvm (not sure about her sn) disappeared. I admit it. Petty? Maybe. Ridiculous? Certainly, but I was hurt. I was actually sad that she just left. And it just irks me that she sends messages through someone. I would love to see pics of her little girl (Lola?) because I was invested in her pregnancy. SO do I care if she was hurt by my post? Sure. But I am not sorry I posted it. Cathartic for me, anyway. And as for my other pet peeves in my first post, nothing there to get upset about... just stuff that gets me, but nothing hurtful.
as far as my IF judgments post, well, I know I am bitter (you and I have talked about it) and I don't ever want to hurt anyone with it. I hate feeling the way I do and I am bitter and hurt and emotional. Just talking about it tonight (Kim and I were discussing, we have a difference of opinion) I was crying uncontrollably, so I know it is my issue. I hope no one is hurt by this, but IF hurts us all. But the bottom line for me is that I do feel I am judgy about it, and that sort of disgusts me, but I do feel that way. Not meant to hurt anyone... I am trying to take the sting out of my judgement by declaring I do it and I hate that I do it. I know I am screwed up.
Dang, I missed a lot of good stuff this weekend. So I'm catching up (just reading!), but I wanted to participate here.
Wub you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And I'm sure I'm guilty of some of those pet peeves, too.
Oops.)
