I have never been just a lurker, but, there is one nestie (first one in almost 4 years!) that I can.not.stand. And, I rarely open HER posts, because, well, they are freaking stupid.
I used to post more a while ago but now I mostly lurk because I don't have too much to say or add. I will say I do get some great info from this board!

For the most part I seem to like everybody, there really isnt anyone that I avoid.
I am generally a very shy person in real life so I think that is why I have a hard time on here. Which I know is stupid since this is a message board. But once I get to know someone, I don't shut up..lol.
I do admittedly lurk quite a bit. Sometimes I just feel like I don't have anything worth adding to what everyone else has said. But I do post when I really need to say something (hence all my venting- I probably come off sounding like a big old whiner) and I try to post when people need support. But there are days when I read much more than I post.

Some nights I post, but mostly I lurk. I sometimes feel like nobody "knows" me so some of the posts are pointless to reply to. If more people recognized me or talked to me I would probably post more. Ha, that sounds super pathetic! You guys aren't scary or anything! I certainly have nesties that I like more then others, but who doesn't?

Mmm. I tend to read most anything by brideofranken, fireflymama, cleokitty ... I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones that come to mind.
Mostly I post on other boards and read on parenting. I'll post very rarely on here. I've found that in order to really feel like part of any board, you have to do quite a bit of posting and I just don't have the time or inclination to be active on all the boards I read. But there's plenty of entertainment & some good advice to be had here, so I stop in.
There are a couple people's posts I always look at: ChampionMama (she was super sweet one evening that I did post) and Pincushion (looking for the latest sneak peek). There are some people (their names escape me now) that I get a little irritated by. Seriously, do we have to know every time your child does something. I mean every.single.thing., but whatever....
I don't post much because I don't usually have alot to say, and everyone knows everyone so well, I feel like I'm intruding. And, I just hate when I post and get 0 responses.
I've been reading/posting on Parenting for over 2 years now. I used to post a little more frequently but now I just skim the first page probably twice a day.
There are posts from people that I always look at if I see them and there are certainly people that I dislike.
I stopped posting a lot once those "Do you like me? What about me? Is my kid cute? What about mine?" threads/posts started. Let's not talk about the cliques. It's just all too high school for me so I'm not here as much anymore.

I know you. We go way back to the BOTB days. You should post more. If anyone gives you any grief I got yo' back dawg.
There's really nobody that I don't like.
