Wow I am in shock that there are so many people lurking!

How do you all have the willpower to keep your mouths shut?!

MikeHoncho · September 2012

Names lady..who you talkin about?!

ChelseyB5186 · September 2012

Bahaha...I think we are just so entertaining, it's hard to keep up

I meant all these posters coming out of lurkdom today. I can't believe they've been reading this whole time and not chiming in our discussions. I can't keep my mouth shut!

Maybe now that some of the more vocal posters are not around they feel more comfortable?

SecretSantaHoHoHo · September 2012

I'm surprised too...makes me suspicious. But we will see how it goes.

I agree.

U guys are just making us feel welcome! :

chasbride07 · September 2012

My main reason for lurking is that someone has already said what I would so I don't see the point in being redundant. I tend to post mainly in check ins for things I'm doing myself like WW or C25K.

I'm boring

I am all for new posters joining the group! I was just surprised you've held out this long.

gracefulash · September 2012

Really? Thanks to BJ barbie and people cross posting to parenting our BMB gets lurked a lot.

ladydi439 · September 2012

I've been tempted to post before and always chickened out! Today with so many other people doing intros and everyone being welcoming I decided to go for it.

Well in my case I've seen many members being mean or rude to new ppl n I was always afraid of "not fitting" but with so many posting today for first time I thought why not?!

TucktheTurtle · September 2012

I'm super glad we're getting new people to talk to. It makes me feel warm and cozy inside.

This and add lazy. My H makes fun of me for lurking so much and never posting.

I can't keep my mouth shut, but I can't post from my dang kindle, so I mostly just talk outloud to you guys like a total weirdo... I really really dislike bump mobile but I can just respond or post from my phone and scroll and lurk from my kindle. OR I could just go get new keyboard buttons for my laptop that I spilled pesto all over and ruined sad face

Hoffmania · September 2012

Have you tried the html button on your kindle? Its still quirky but it works. I just posted this. I have trouble with spacing and quotes sometimes though. This is a good example of that.I lurked cause I'd always come with a question and would usually get an answer without needing to write anything. Seems like a good time to get more involved though

Hoffmania · September 2012

Yup I tried to quote the pp and space between those paragraphs and failed. Boo kindle.

Violet28 · September 2012

Lots and lots of meditation.

No, but really, it's a combination of not knowing what to say and having a hard time keeping up with the conversations. And my husband has a huge thing about privacy. We never announced our pregnancy on FB or anything and he thinks that if I post a picture of E that the internet gods will own it for 10 years or some dastardly adoption agency will steal it and put in on their website. Even with a watermark over her face. Yet, it's okay to post a pic with her just not of her. I can't follow his logic.

mollywobbles13 · September 2012

I've wanted to post for a while, but I just didn't know how I would fit in. Plus it was hard to keep up and that made it intimidating. I think having people really want us lurkers out made it easier. I'm really excited to participate here though!

JoJoH23 · September 2012

Ummmm this is my attempt at trying this html button.....

Ding Ding Ding!! We have a winner@

nicolelaroche · September 2012

Hah, I post only occasionally but I read most posts. Just the discussion is usually over by the time I get to a post. Also, I lurked for about 5 months during pregnancy because I had an old iPhone and couldn't post from it until I updated the OS.
