Geez... everyone was just worried and missing her... and she comes back all snarky... maybe she really doesn't belong?
That wasn't snarky. That was downright cunty. You don't like the notifications? Log the fuck out. Or maybe try IGNORING them. Either way-way to shit on all the people who were expressing genuine concern. Glad my bitch radar went off early on this one and I didn't get emotionally invested.
So I was kind of surprised that I got like 25 notifications for this thread while I was busy this afternoon since I kind of thought we'd reached a conclusion.
And JC! Sorry I was worried that something might have gone wrong for someone on our board. Because I actually was genuinely concerned maybe something bad had happened when I didn't see a regular around for a while.
I'm not tagging you wtfisup, not because I'm concerned about irritating you but because I'm crossing you off my list of things to give thought to.
@MegK82 I give Luna C points for having the maturity to NOT give us good material. But yeah, you don't want someone around once you know about the BSC.

I also credit luna for not losing it and just peacing out when she felt like she wasn't into it. Although maybe that has something to do with the fact that we can't tag her screen name properly, so she doesn't have to deal with the constant barrage of notifications. You know, since notifications now apparently come in the form of an elf being sent to your house and knocking on your front door until you acknowledge them. So pretty much impossible to ignore.
Man now I'm mad I don't know what went down with Luna C
Me too, I remember her from my lurker days under a different screen name. She never struck me as BSC, I wonder what I missed!
Actually, it wasn't very dramatic. She started several uninteresting threads over a couple of days (about things like her stretch marks) and people told her to post under symptom threads or whatever. Then she vanished.
yep, it wasn't dramatic at all. which bummed me out, b/c she totally came off as someone who would make a dramatic exit.
That's true, she seemed a bit dramatic in general. I thought she just got bored here. Her posts seemed like things you'd only bother to post out of boredom, so I thought maybe when she got a negative response she just lost interest.
Honestly, I thought about saying something to @Read247 awhile back in this thread, but didn't want to be a WK because wtf can handle herself.
Glad I listened to my inner bitch. Otherwise I would be eating my own foot right now. Which sounds really uncomfortable.
Damn. What did I do?!? I didn't say anything in this thread I didn't say to her in the original thread. Actually I was a lot bitchier in the newbie thread. This time I actually wished her well.
A few people did offer differing opinions. NBD. I get it, you thought she was your friend. Too bad she pulled one of these:
Luna posted in the 3rd trimester board in the last day or so... Probably shouldn't go rushing over there and do another call out since this one didn't go so well. But just thought ya'll would like to know she's active again.
@Read247 I disagree that this one didn't go well. I am no longer worried that something happened to wtfisup or her LO. And it provided WAY more information and entertainment than I could possibly have expected! The 3rd tri board seems quite dramatic, so Luna is probably happier there.
I just love-titted my way through the last two pages. Thanks for the early morning entertainment, ladies! Someone needs to post the gif of Andy from The Office saying "Sorry I annoyed you with my friendship."
@wtfisup ... Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
I may or may not have started the poop thread this morning hoping to finally see my elves today as people commented on it...and still nothing. I find this incredibly distressing, and I'm sure the stress isn't good for Charlie. Perhaps because I'm at work? Maybe I should ask my boss if I can go home so that they can find me and I can be less stressed...I'm sure she wouldn't find that request odd at all. "Hey, can I go home to wait for my elves? It's stressing me out that they can't find me!"
@Rachel5130 I believe it was @katekat8721 who compared notifications to elves showing up at your door. I can't find the original reference for some reason. @Lilygrace48 doesn't receive notifications. I just want elves. Elves that will do housework for me so I can nap.
We determined that since wtfisup was being so intensely bothered by the notifications, this must have had something to do with The Bump's new policy of insisting all notifications be hand delivered to our doors by elves, thereby making them impossible to ignore. Have you not seen your elves yet? We really should follow up on that lack of efficiency.
Oh I get notifications, they sit in that little red, easy to ignore box up there. But someone mentioned elves, and I want mine.
Also, if my elf is lucky enough to be distracted like @ElTrain5 thinks, more power to him! At least someone is getting some, cuz I'm sure as shit not right now!
@Mease8 seriously, these elves are lazy! My house is messy, there's laundry, the nursery is half painted, we don't even have a car seat... useless elves.
Okay, you want more explanation: therewere a few different occasions, not one but not tons, where people on this forum felt aggressive. It triggered a lot of anxiety for me. I woke up anxious about the forum. Over nothing -- not a specific post or thread, etc. It was just a combination of things that became a worry. Clearly, that wasn't healthy for me. That's it.
It wasn't about apologizing or reconciling; it was about me recognizing that that wasn't a good space for me to be. It wasn't about anyone being "bad" or mean, but about me recognizing that I didn't have a response that was healthy or helpful. That's on me. Many of you may not understand that, and it's okay.
So when I asked not to be tagged, sorry, I thought that was reasonable. I'm sorry if folks feel rejected, but me getting tagged to return to a thread that feels like harassment isn't helpful. Those who were curious about me have connected with me through other platforms. I assume the only option is to make a different account. I thought that wouldn't be necessary.
Seriously -- the board's a great resource for lots of folks. It's not a good space for me. That doesn't mean anything personal toward any of you. Please consider that you don't have to understand to be respectful enough to leave someone alone. I'm literally just asking that you not tag me or create future threads about me.
Thanks for coming back and explaining a bit more wtfisup. You didn't have to do it but it was a nice gesture.
It definitely sounds like this is not a healthy or productive outlet for you. I'm glad that you can realize that and are making steps towards being happier.
I'll also second BE and say you can turn off the notifications so you don't have to make a new account. I doubt people here will be tagging you in the future though.
Happy 35/35 day and best wishes to the rest of your pregnancy.
