Success after IF

A note and open invitation to my OSB

Dear Twatwaffle,

See, here's the thing.... I don't care if you hit that one star. I never have, and it's not going to change now. I'm sure you've noticed (cuz you have no life) that I have bigger fish to fry. If that's what it takes to make yourself feel less insecure, knock yourself out. It must be hard being so hated. I find myself feeling a great deal of pity towards you. Many others do too... It's a stupid feature on the nest. Really?  REALLY? Define me? notsomuch.

But maybe another thing you have not noticed, this board is FULLLLLLLLLLL (effing full) of caring wonderful kind women WHO CARE ABOUT EACHOTHER. Not just me, and my sob story, but everyone. Rock, Mod, LucyPee, Christa, ... everyone.

(everyone)

We are family. And regardless if you make your stink and hit that 1 star, people are still going to care. We're still going to support eachother. We're still going to be there for eachother.

By hitting that star thing, it doesn't matter. People still care about eachother. Wait, strike that, they do NOT care about you.

 I invite you to contact me about whatever beef you have with me. Let's put on our big girl panties and talk it out. I'll listen, maybe I'll even learn something. It's called being an adult.

But you won't change how I feel about my friends here. And my real friends won't change because of you.

 

Just sayin'.

    I am one who cares too.

  • Lots of people get one-starred.  I see it on every board.  Not sure it has to do with a beef with you. 

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • Damn the OSB...

    I'll be the FiveSB...I give five stars to everything I see with one...silly? yes...but that OSB shat gets under my skin. 

     

  • I got one starred today. Like a bullet through the heart lol. I *tried* not to take it personally but when it happens all the time it gets pretty old.

    I totally agree, but there are some who get starred pretty consistently.

  • Love ya honey and so happy that you have good news and are back.
  • LOL!  That was great!  I am one who cares...So I guess it is not the system who "assigns" the stars, it is actual nesties?  They should just get rid of that system, seems stupid.

  • Fine.  I'll stop. Stick out tongue

    I kid of course!  I refuse to star anything, 1 or otherwise,  because I think it's stupid.

    Can't even explain how happy I am to see your mug around these parts again, DW.

  • I don't think there is a OSB.

    Lots of posts get one starred.  All over every board.  I think every active poster has people who like them, and people who don't.  My guess is the people who don't one star posts.

    I also think the more you post about it, the more you get.

    Oh I know I just called attention to her. she's probably busy shopping or on vacation. I'm not worried. But when posts (whether they're mine or Jebus's) get one starred, and they are of a personal and raw nature, there needs to be a line that doesn't get crossed. Christa getting 1 starred today? Come on.  Know when to be a nice person and walk away. You don't have to like me, and you can think I'm BSC. But people care about eachother here. This taints that.  And for the record, I've not posted about this before. Because I don't care. It's not about me, it's about the board.

    Exactly.  I really wouldn't take it personally in any way.

  • i think posts like these just draw more attention to anyone who one stars and validates why they do it.

  • I dont know what OSB means... 

    And those stars are so dumb. I dont even notice them unless someone says something about them.

  • I know I'm late jumping in on this (I'm so glad you're baaaack!), but just wanted to say you are obviously so loved and I can guarantee that the OSB would hardly be missed by anyone on this board if she were to leave.  It's actually sad because it's painfully obvious that person has no other life than to be on these boards from sunup til sundown waiting fervently for you to post something to one-star.  Lame-o. 

     Glad you like your video!  Of course, my submission was at work and I had to run to a meeting, didn't spellcheck before I sent to Skoorb, and misspelled my own son's name.  It should say "Jude", not "Jue".  :)
