I'm going to get all mushy on you for a hot minute, but I just have to say after being on TB for several years and seeing people come together for "internet strangers" it just completely amazes me.
I know we've had a recent rash of posters call us bullies or bitches and being too "clicky" (SWIDT?), and vent frustration over these forums.
I've seen my fair share of disgusting things on TB (I'm sure some of you longer members have seen more than I), but I've also seen TB (and other forums) come together to do the following;
Raise money for a little girl diagnosed with a brain tumor (BMB Oct. 10) to help with medical expenses.
Send a necklace and other gifts to a mother who lost her baby too soon.
Send a memorial in honor of a little boy named Tripp with EB (I don't believe Courtney was ever on TB though).
More recently raising over $20K for ZB and money for another little girl diagnosed with leukemia.
In sum, while you might all think we are bullies and bitches and have no lives, you are oh so wrong. I think
@hatchetface said it best when she said you have to give support to get support. (I think it was you who said that?)
Does it hurt me if someone posts a bump photo before Wednesday, no. But is it annoying to have people come on here and their first post is a bump pic, yes. Take time to lurk, respond, get to know the board/ladies, just as we've all done over the last few months.
Sorry to repost, but I feel like it's warranted.
Re: You're seriously all just b*tches, I feel bad for your children!
Oh well. The less crazies, the better.

But I totally agree with everything you have said!
Okay HERE is an appropriate place to blame hormones. Fox and Hound gifs make me weepy.

You my down ass bitches. Ride or die MILFs.
And seriously, when there's real bullying and disgusting shit being said, reframe that and think about it. Does my snarky gif really offend you or make you feel embarrassed that you didn't think before typing?
I really do love this board and the amazing moms and moms to be who contribute! Despite the nay sayers on here, I think there will be some pretty damn awesome kids in the world thanks to y'all! Cheers!
Anyway, who the fuck are all these white knights? I don't recognise a single one. Did hulahoopz draft her friends in or something? Oh I forgot. We're the losers.
