how many lurkers do we have? #pollingallthepeoples

sweettooth87 · May 2014

In light of a lurker coming out to play, I'm curious....how many lurkers do we have?

For purposes of this poll, if you post ever so often you can consider yourself a non-lurker.

sweettooth87 · May 2014

Here lurky lurky lurkies...I know we have more than 3!

jennlin · May 2014

yesthisiskim0401 · May 2014

Emilyraymond · May 2014

I do a little of both but mostly lurk. I do post some but I lurk a lot.

ncase2 · May 2014

@yesthisiskim0401 - We could never forget A1 & A2!!!

carawasa · May 2014

14 lurkers!? I don't feel safe anymore :-SS

kerrydonlon · May 2014

Totally a lurker! I will start participating though!

vargasgurl · May 2014

..... Hmmmm more than I thought there would be !

nepatsgal · May 2014

Yeah I'm pretty much just a lurker nowadays. I think I fell off the planet one too many times to be welcomed back again.

chicsahm · May 2014

I voted lurker because that is what I have been the last couple months…. ugh so busy with no end in site.

You are so not a lurker lady!

Kittymom6 · May 2014

Someone needs to do a SO poll on why lurkers lurk!

lionstigersbearsohmy · May 2014

Lurker here :-h

vbdigger14 · May 2014

Totally a lurker. You know that awkward situation where you're having a personal conversation with somebody and someone nearby was totally eavesdropping and decided to just jump in with their two cents?

Yeah...that's how I feel coming out of the shadows this late in the game. Like a total creeper.

Yes, @petdocd‌, agreed.

Can we have a Lurker Amnesty Day?
All are welcome if they just start posting?

And I recognize most of the admitted lurkers so far. No shame in your game.

::sad that I couldn't find an appropriate gif I liked.::

I'm #dirtylurkerstatus

TophersWife · May 2014

Former lurker, now just an infrequent commenter here.

DanceM · May 2014

I mostly lurk now, but I posted more when pregnant. I doubt anyone remembers me though! I would post more but it feels awkward at this point.

Flutterby00 · May 2014

I lurk more often then not these days. I need more time in the day!!!!

Alexplock · May 2014

Lurker here! Used to rarely post, now I lurk once a week/every other week.

brooklynnerdymama · May 2014

I'm a 90% lurker but throw in my 2 cents occasionally and love tits #allthepolls (voted olga).
Reasons are twofold:
1 introvert and assume people generally don't care unless I have something unique/interesting to contribute (am the same way IRL)
2 have been very busy this year as both medical intern and new mom. I sleep like 0 and have had to cut back bumping to 1-2x/wk even though this is the site I visit most frequently and is always open on my phone. I just depressed myself more putting that into words. #sads. #sorryimadowner. #atleastimnotabbcreject.

This is totally me as well...hangs my head in shame...

But maybe a cute pic of the babies will redeem me and a proper intro???

@TREDgirl‌ are those both your babies? Are there more O13 twins????

TREDgirl · May 2014

Yes they are both mine! I just did a proper post introducing myself finally.

MsHenry30 · May 2014

Guilty lurker here. I've been around since the peed dried and have posted a couple of random times. I admit I'm intimidated and don't feel nearly interesting enough to start my own thread about anything. I always participate in the polls though.

SmileMom2013 · May 2014

I voted lurker even though I got called out for being a dirty lurker. So I've intro'd and occasionally comment.

I think you go to the same daycare center add me, right?

JamieMaffenbeier · May 2014

I lurk too.... I have been on here since the beginning. But I'm too dumb to GIF, and not all that interesting..... And I was scared of cousinvicki But you guys are amazing,and I don't feel so alone with my ppd. Thank you for everyone that has posted in the ppd/ppa posts, you have no idea how much it helps me.

Heather91011 · May 2014

I'm kind of a reg I guess? I've been falling off and coming back. With my marriage half falling apart, working 50+ hours a week, a teething 6.5 month old and attempting to sell 2 houses, remodel one and build one I can't find time to bump as much as I'd like.

#igetthesadswhenimgonetoolong

Andalsoplus everytime I read a post like this I try to figure out if I ever I did an intro. I know I did on November since my original due date was 11/2. Maybe I need to intro lol

ajpropst · May 2014

Lurker here. I've been lurking since back to when Nov. '13 was a One Direction fan club. I had a fairly uneventful pregnancy, and at a certain point, just felt awkward about introducing myself so late in the game. Not trying to be a creeper, but I don't ever think I will be a regular... now, or on future BMBs. I also lurk on the CD board, but I feel like that is more acceptable for whatever reason.

DisneyMamaToBeTTC · May 2014

Mostly a lurker but I post questions and replies on occasion.

tashad18 · May 2014

There are so many! I never would have thought nearly 50!

Yep, we used the CDC until about a month ago. My husband is in California for school right now and then we are moving somewhere in the US (we find out tomorrow). So my mil is staying with me to help so we pulled my daughter out to stay home with grandma.
Let's just say I'm thankful for the help but could definitely add to the MIL Monday stories if I wasn't a lurker.

nbcarlson · May 2014

Lately I've been a total lurker. I type stuff out all the time and forget to post it or get too lazy to finish half way thorough ha!

PharmDMom · May 2014

Um about half the posters commenting that they consider themselves lurkers deft don't qualify in my book. If you've posted even on and off since 1st tri you're not a lurker!! Or if you have been mostly MIA since pushing baby out, but you still read threads and try to catch up sometimes, you're not a lurker! Amiright??

Wait, do we need to do another poll including a specific definition of a lurker? (think: @jennlin's #teamnosex definition poll)
