FYI Baby Expo coming to NYC next weekend.... has anyone been?

iheartscraps · May 2014

I'm wondering if its worth the time and all the people. I hope it is, I really want to go!

PandaCon · May 2014

Have you checked the NY board to see what they know?

There is a NY board, FYI. If we all start posting about things/events that are local to us, it will get real annoying, real quick. And the board will get terribly cluttered.

I suggest if you want to talk about NYC specific things, try the NY board or PM women you know are from NYC.

erinwithtwins · May 2014

@iheartscraps‌ if you go please let me know how it is. We don't seem to have anything like that in LA before my due date. Have fun!

hiketheworld · May 2014

I'm in nyc. Haven't gone before and didn't know about this event but I think I will go!

I disagree, I would never access the NY board because I'm in Philly but we're close enough that I would go to a big event like this

hiketheworld · May 2014

The local boards also are pretty inactive unfortunately. I looked at the nyc board for doctor and hospital info and there really is very little traffic. There are several nyc ladies on this board and probably many more if you count the surrounding area.

lisaren · May 2014

Just a thought. Start a NYC post. Y'all NYC girls post to that thread about NYC stuff. That was it's condensed to one post, and super easy to find. Sounds like a fabulous idea

DTLAmom · May 2014

My friend in NYC said good things about that one! And the biggest baby shower is supposed to be really great. I was only a few weeks when the LA biggest baby shower was being held. I really wish they would do it twice a year!

iheartscraps · May 2014

I just joined today! I'm going to do that now! Thanks.

Yean it seems like they have them in many towns, I'll post pics because they had a list of other cities, my bff in Florida has one there as well so, I think they are pretty much around the country.

iheartscraps · May 2014

I am going on Sunday, I actually was told that its worth my going for the Stroller track! They have stroller track, bing in a city like you being from Philly, we need some great strollers to deal with the crappy sidewalks! Hope you get to go. I'm going to post pics. I figure if we can have gifs in our sig, I could safely post a few pics, am I correct?

iheartscraps · May 2014

If you need anything lmk I have a great MFM because I'm high risk. I love my doc. If you don't live in the city I was told that LI Jewish hospital has an amazing NICU. HTH! Good luck to ya!

I joined the NYC board today, it seemed pretty active, well ok I only have one post so far.. so I'm not best judge yet! But WE can go make them active! I don't think I posted the baby expo, I'm going to liven these mama's up and post it, have a great day!

iheartscraps · May 2014

I like this board and don't want to stop. I've already met some great women, and It seems like no matter what I post it seems controversial.

Great suggestion Lisa about just NYC stuff but that in itself seems to be broad as well as people from other areas within our due date may be interested. Is there a rule about posting local questions?

Why can't I just post in my Due Date group without all the issues?

Isn't it etiquette that if the thread doesn't interest you that you don't open it, or am I missing something?

lisaren · May 2014

I just suggested a NYC thread to condense the NYC info specifically.
Ike we have a high risk thread, multiples thread, pgal thread....

Maelara · May 2014

This board isn't just national (as someone else said) but international. I'm from Canada and on my other BMB we have people from all over the world. Which is why posts like this get annoying, especially when you insist on posting multiple ones. I think @Lisaren's idea is great and the rest of us will stay out. Or create a social group for NYC ladies. Just, please stop trying exclude everyone else. I know you said before that you aren't but lots the threads you create are quite specific. You seem genuinely nice but have some poor manners when it comes to forums. It will get easier though, I promise

just keep being nice and dignified and all will go great!

@iheartscraps - use the quote feature and/or the tagging feature when replying to someone specifically (just like I did on this post). Your multiple posts right in a row with no indication who you are talking to is quite confusing and annoying. Don't lecture people on board etiquette when you don't use some pretty simple features that have been designed to make everyone's experience much more enjoyable, especially when you have been asked to multiple times.

iheartscraps · May 2014

No seriously. Can we just leave this be? It was my first post. I made a mistake, now I'm learning, now I know how to quote, how to @ someone, I'm going to add a ticker, maybe some hot guy too like I saw everyone do, I'm thinking Channing Tatum.
Can you just leave it alone and refrain from answering every post I have if you don't like it? I'm not here to bother anyone.
I waited 15 years for a miracle I got it. I'm sharing it, and I'm supporting others. Can we just stop responding to me if you have no interest in sharing in it.
Please please @all who are not interested in posting anything positive just leave me be. I've only been on here a total of 5 times now reading and learning why is it so serious?
I'm not lecturing people, I'm telling you clearly, don't respond to my posts if you don't like them. Thats it.

Maelara · May 2014

@iheartscraps‌ I think you still have some learning to do with quotes

runningmama14 · May 2014

@iheartscraps‌ - that is the first time I have ever responded to one of your posts, but not the first time your incoherent replies have made my head spin.

You also don't get to control who replies to your posts. It's the internet. Telling people to go away is likely to make them respond to you more fervently...

iheartscraps · May 2014

@Maelara, no way... I thought I got it this time. Crap. Thanks for letting me know. Its over, I'm ok with it, I just want to move on. When are you due Maelara? I'm the 16 of November so far.

iheartscraps · May 2014

yaay, my quotes are good! I'll get there!

iheartscraps · May 2014

Nope never mind they're screwed up, at least I @Maelara right I think. Its blue thats a good sign.

Maelara · May 2014

@iheartscraps‌ you got the @ someone down! When you quote, scroll all the way down, past all the HTML and you should be good.

iheartscraps · May 2014

@maelara thank you seriously, Im learning and could see how the lack of quotes seems like I'm yelling at the world for some silly other words.

I apologize and thank you for your help! Can you do me a favor and tell me when I screwed up again so no one else yells at me..... I'm gonna go work on my signature now.... I've never been able to make one I never made it passed 13 weeks, woot woot!

@Maelara, so Channing Tatum is a yes??? I want eye candy too!

Maelara · May 2014

No prob. I think Channing Tatum is an absolute yes! Very sexy man

lisaren · May 2014

We are ALL pregnant with miracles. Just sayin'

This irritated the shit out of me. Like it's some contest.

lizzielu82 · May 2014

@iheartscraps no one is yelling at you. I think you might need to lurk around here a bit more. We're an inclusive board - you seem to just want to single out certain types of expectant moms and ones you deem "nice". We're all nice - lurk and learn!

lisaren · May 2014

Unicorns and sprinkles are about to explode and lose their shit. For reals.

iheartscraps · May 2014

@lisaren, Its no contest, God bless you and your miracle. Its truly a blessing.

@iheartscraps‌ you're right. It's not a contest. However, if it was, anyone on this board who had bothered to read more than their own posts would be hoping and praying that @lisaren‌ 's baby manages to win the "Biggest Miracle Ever Achieved by a Baby" award.

missnacholover · May 2014

*Sigh*

That's all I got.

lisaren · May 2014

I really hope you just take a little time to get to know us. As much as you want us to get to know you. Learn a little about the girls here. What we're dealing with. This board has been through the shit. Every single person here has an amazing story to tell, take a different approach, instead of demanding that people don't respond and Demanding that we respect you, understand that this board has been a safe outlet for us for many months, and there's a mutual respect that's been earned. That's something you do not demand.

Maybe take the advice from others and myself?? Or continue blazing the N14 boards as you have and well... Good luck.

I can almost say for certain this is not mud.
