My confession is that I think it's really annoying when people who left the BMB for a FB group decide they want to come back all of a sudden, proclaiming they were "too busy with their babies" to post here. Right. I mean, I don't blame them for getting bored of the same old cunty bitchiness all the time, but they won't get a warm welcome from me. Sorrynotsorry.
I mean, it would be different if they continued to post both places. But don't totally leave TB cause you're too cool and then come crawling back.
Right! They got their "cool girl" group (gag), now leave us the fuck alone. We weren't cool enough then, so why bother with us now?
Well I don't think it was a "cool kids" thing. I chose not to join back in the day - I wasn't denied or anything. Were you denied membership?
I didn't try to join. I had no interest in the FB group then, nor do I now. That said, I do not believe I would've between accepted. IMO, it was made quite clear that it was intended for a select few rather than the many.
I totally understand people's frustrations but sometimes I feel like it's a dig at my because I left for a bit and I am in a FB group. I probably read too much into it but it makes me wonder.
*End Quote* I'm not calling you out. I've said before, if you're going to call someone out, just do it. No passive aggression from me. You participate regularly and consistently have.
I'm referring to posters who left a year or so ago, NEVER contribute to board topics, then show up when shit is dramatic enough for them to throw a random love tit or snarky remark. If you're looking for names Beachy and Nola specifically come to mind, but there were others present yesterday whose sn's I don't specifically recall. Edit because the bump fucked up the quote boxes.
@2013sarahbelleATX I don't know if the "denied membership" question was directed at me or CNJ but it make me LOL. I did not request membership either.
@beaubecca You're totally right about buying into the drama. It just really annoys me that they all think we're dying for them to come back and most of us aren't. At all.
@KateRN08 My comment was definitely not directed at you. I vaguely remember you taking some breaks but I've always considered you an active poster. When I made the comment about "posting both places", I was thinking of you and Shank because I remember you both saying you had joined a FB group at some point.
I thought it was quite obvious who I was referring to but I don't want to be vague either...so basically all the unrecognizable Love Its on that unicorn pic yesterday, the intro today, and then people who disappear as randomly as they appeared like blueeyedwhatever.
Also, 2nd confession...I didn't know Alex Trebek was Canadian.
I confess I think this subject is tired. I'm pretty sure they're just doing it because you all are buying into it - all the cool girl talk is probably making them laugh and inflating their egos.
Come back and play or not you DOBs but the guest appearances are kind of lame.
I admit you have a point. I'll try to chill now. Now that I found my voice and am no longer afraid to speak my mind , I'm kinda going overboard. :-S

The way I see it is pertaining to the posters that ditched us for good. Back in the newborn stage is all a fuzzy blur to me so as far as I am concerned you are very prominent on this board even if you took a break.

I get slightly annoyed when non-Jewish people use the word Kosher or Yiddish phrases. Very slightly. Like the same amount of annoyed when someone uses pet peeve (not a fan of the phase).
I read all of this and the UO from yesterday, but I never feel like I have anything awesome to contribute so I stay in the background, dirty lurker status.
I don't even know if that's a good enough FFFC, so I will add that DS and I never changed out of our PJs today, until his bedtime, in which we both got fresh PJs.
This is every weekend for us. DS always gets fresh PJ's at the end of the night. I may or may not.
Omg omg this might be my best FFFC since the anal sex one.
I asked to join the FB group and obviously was declined. Considering how awesome I am...I like to think they missed out. (Right?right?!? I'm fun and popular and a valuable member? Right?!?!?!!)
Sometime just before our babies were born a whole flood of newbs started showing up. So a Facebook group was created and acceptance was based on whether or not you were known to one member.

Which member? So odd. I stopped paying attention to those threads because I knew I wasn't a cool kid plus I like it here. I have real life friends and I have you guys.
You had to pm blueyed your Facebook name and she'd add you as a friend if she recognized your TB SN.
@maymomNY I'm originally from Upstate too but my town is so small and no one have ever heard of it so I just say the City because I moved there at 17 until I was 23.
Edit: this is another confessions. DH, R, the dogs and I went away for the weekend. The car ride was awful, when we got there the place lost our reservation and R started violently throwing up again. We finally got him to sleep but we're all stuck in one room so we can't have the tv/lights on. I lost my wine glass somewhere but I can't try to find it so I just took the bottle and am chugging away and catching up on here. I'm off the the hi-ya girls thread. Says I have 117 messages to read.

I don't change out of PJs unless I'm going to the grocery store...which is like once a week. You don't know my lyfe!!
I am answered the door the other day in pj's, sloppy hair, baby crying and dog barking in the background to a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses. They literally looked at me in horror, handed me the pamphlet and ran.
I just got through all the dramatic threads. I can't handle this. It's like watching the Matrix all over again. I have no idea what is going on and my baby has vomit in his nose.
I don't like the word preggly. For some reason it makes me think of the old show Fraggle Rock and I really don't want all of those cute babies looking like Fraggles.

maymomNYemmy236nonniedee you are all from upstate new York too? when you guys say upstate to you mean Albany like all the southerns think or do you know that there are counties on the saint Lawrence river? because I drive by Canada everytime I go to my in laws. lol

WHAT?!?!
I KNEW my FFFC would cause the most drama. When I saw the high post count, I just knew it was me again. ;-)
I just know all of the pregnant mommies aren't going to have babies that look like Fraggles so I can't get behind preggly.
I'm from the Capital District which I consider upstate. I don't really count anything lower than Newburgh though. Where you are is the North Country (but still Upstate). I also don't like it when people from Syracuse on west use Upstate. That is Central and Western NY
