Re: GTKY- Lurkers this means you too
1. Sometimes I'm in a rush. I can't post from my phone. And sometimes if there's a ton of replies saying exactly what I would say, I usually say nothing.
2. The Hangover
3. The Voice
4. None
1 - I honestly write a lot of responses, and then realize I am being overly judgmental, restating the common opinion, or feel I am not qualified to answer. Plus, I like to see what other people's opinion is, even if I don't have one.
2- Lover Come Back - an old Doris Day movie. I have a mild obsession with Doris Day, although most of my friends haven't a clue who she is.
3- I will probably watch American Chopper with DH, not because I want to, but all of my favorite shows are on Hiatus right now.
4 - SAHM
1.) Most of the time if I open something and don't reply, it's because either I have nothing new to add, I have no personal experience with the subject, or I'm at work and don't have time to respond.
2.)Brigadoon
3.) The Voice on DVR.
4.) I post occasionally on the adoption board, preschool, and school-age. I lurk on parenting after a loss (I used to post on TTCAL and like to see how people are doing).
Mommy to DS#1 7/1/04 and DS#2 6/15/07

BFP#5 11/30/12 Surprise! DS#3 born 7/29/13
1) Why are you opening posts and not replying?
If I don't reply my opinion has probably been stated or I feel I have nothing to add.
2) What is your favorite movie?
Tommy Boy
3) What are you watching/dvr-ing on TV tonight?
NCIS, and then probably Tabitha Takes Over
4) What other boards do you post/lurk on?
I post on 12-24, baby names, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, and H&F on the nest. I lurk on TTGP, AP, SAHM, and a lot of nest boards.
1) Why are you opening posts and not replying?
I'm not on much anymore. I'm actually enjoying life and getting out with friends.
2) What is your favorite movie?
Don't really have one right now.
3) What are you watching/dvr-ing on TV tonight?
90210 *winces*
4) What other boards do you post/lurk on?
Photography and I also visit other photography websites.
1. Most of what I will say is already said.
2. Lion King!
3. Unforgettable.
4. Toddlers 12-24
1) For several reasons. There might be someone that has already said what I would say, I don't feel qualified to answer or I might be opening it so long after it was written that I assume I "missed the boat".
2) I have many that I really like but the one that comes to mind right now is First Wives Club. Cracks me up every time I watch it!
3) Currently watching (while bumping) Unforgettable. Never seen it before but it seems interesting.
4) BOTB, SAHM, 24 months+
1) If I'm on my iPad or phone, because it's a b**tch to post from those. Or if I feel like I would be beating a dead horse. If it's a boring post. If I don't know the answer to someone's question or solution to their problem. If I don't feel like opening a can of worms....there's a ton of reasons
2) I don't have a single favorite movie.
3) Storage Wars
4) Special Needs, Blended Families
1) Why are you opening posts and not replying? If I don't have a good answer for a post I dont' reply, also if someone pretty much said what I think I will either quote and say "this" or just don't reply at all.
2) What is your favorite movie? Say Anything
3) What are you watching/dvr-ing on TV tonight? Dance Moms
4) What other boards do you post/lurk on? June 2011 moms, 2 under 2, working moms, Toddlers 24+, 9-12 months, pre-school
Wanna make out?
What she said for 1 and 2 (Lover Come Back or That Touch of Mink).
3) I'll be catching up on 30 Rock.
4) Toddler 12-24 & Attachment Parenting
1) I'm not on much since it's so dead, but I never posted much on Parenting anyway. Mostly, there's nothing to say.
2) Shawshank Redemption
3) I haven't turned on the TV yet - waiting for the baby to fall asleep. Then I'll check the DVR.
4) Preschool and sometimes SAHM
1) Why are you opening posts and not replying?
A plethora of reasons...idk what to say, don't know the answer, don't want to come across snarky or extreme (I suck at communicating in general, come across as a ***)

Pride & Prejudice

I usually reply to every post I open, unless I go in thinking its something and then it turns out to be something completely different.
2) What is your favorite movie? Dirty Dancing.
3) What are you watching/dvr-ing on TV tonight? American Idol. I don't watch much tv, but I always make sure I watch that and Grey's Anatomy!
4) What other boards do you post/lurk on? I don't consider myself a lurker here, I've posted a good amount of times here as well as comment. I'm on the 9-12 months board and Stay at home moms as well.
1. I just stumbled on this board the other day, but I'm still mostly a lurker. I am only on at work, and don't always have much to add to posts, and am usually late to the game, so I just read and move on.
2. Top Gun
3. American Idol, but last night I watched a couple shows on PBS. We don't have cable and I am a nerd.
4. GP on the Nest, 12-24 months (I post when I can there). BOTB and TTGP here, I'm starting to get baby fever, but no more babies until DH gets a better job.
1. I find that when I write out a response to a post I delete it most of the time. I start to feel like it's too long or just a repeat of what everyone else replied.
2. Miss Congeniality
3. probably catching up on DVRd shows. Probably Tosh.O or House
4. None. I used to post mostly on pre-school but it seemed like one day a lot of the regulars left and they didn't come back.
So I moved over here and mostly lurk.
