If anyone would like to look at the pictures that I had done of telling our family what the baby was here is the link.

I took out my link because it went to my facebook page. I will try to post the pic. another way.

Sorry the post got so out of hand right off.  Very rough day for me, :(

  • FYI OP, you can post pictures you post on FB here without having to post your personal page.  Same way you would post any type of gif.  

    And no need to get snippity, Jules was just letting you know where these type of posts would usually go without having to start a whole new thread.  Even though that thread is labeled Friday, it is used for special announcements until a new thread is started on Tuesday, and so on.

    Dude, I even said congrats.  Way to go from zero to crazy in a heart beat.

    Not that I'm convinced it would have changed her reaction at all, but @joules235 - maybe add one line to your auto-direct to explain what that thread is?  It can be something as simple as "congrats - we usually try to keep posts like this in one thread so as to keep the board from getting cluttered - here is the most recent version of that thread" - or something like that?

    Or not.. just a thought.  Like I said, while it seems that she has been a somewhat regular poster on the board, I doubt it would have changed things - she seems awfully sensitive, but it might be helpful for a newbie who honestly wouldn't know to look for a regular thread.
    Yeah I guess my post was a bit...bare. I am still impressed by the sensitivity though.
    I think what I posted was less inviting than what you said, but she was GBCB before I even responded!

    I wasn't trying to be snarky either, I just worry for people putting where they live, full names, etc on here...

  • @joules235 It doesn't really apply to OP, since it looks like she's a somewhat regular poster, but I can totally see that if this was someone's first exposure to TB, it'd be a little shocking to see that response.  Not that they shouldn't lurk, not that they shouldn't have an idea of WTF they are posting, I just think of that poor clueless newbie who could just use a quick hand hold.  You could even come up with a couple of boilerplate lines that you just copy and paste (since you seem to be so quick on the trigger with these crazy posts) - nothing too crazy.

    @kibean I know - I felt like I wanted to acknowledge her in a nice way, but I couldn't even muster punctuation or an emoticon - it really rubbed me the wrong way that she posted such a personal thing out there (her fb) when it wasn't necessary.  I thought your advice was great for general internet safety and all.

  • @joules235 I didn't say you hadn't been nice - I was just suggesting you add one line to explain what the linked thread is for - that's all.  Feel free to disregard.

  • hlp2709 Sorry you're having a bad day hon. Congrats on your boy. I worried about clicking the link for like 2 minutes then I clicked it and I have to say, cute pictures! But then i felt super dirty for "stalking" your FB page, even on invitation. So, i hope you post the pics (maybe in your siggy?) because they're cute, but i'm glad you took your info down because of safety issues! Be well.
    @hlp2709 I hope your day gets better!
