Lurkers/Random Posters

bullybutt · June 2014

There seems to be a lot of people that are coming out of the woodworks here recently. I know I'm not the most active poster, but I still chime in on a near daily basis. Lurkers/Rando's tell us a little about yourselves and why you've been hatin and not participatin?

tealowl · June 2014

Mmmhmm, spill it!

Emilyfae · June 2014

I don't even know if I qualify.

Emilyfae · June 2014

@tundrabunny Good. I've earned my keep. NOW spill it, newbies.

I was kind of active in the beginning on this board, but not really. The Blended Families board was my main board, but then we went all private FB group and I kind of left TB for awhile.

Now I'm back if you'll have me.

Did you have a different user name? I remember your gif and I've seen you on Parenting, I think.

Dream123456778 · June 2014

I think I qualify.

I've lurked from the very beginning and even made the mistake to pull the "you guys are so mean" card at the beginning. But now I see what a neat crazy bunch of women you all are. (Suck up compliment )

I don't have very many mommy friends so it's nice to come here and pretend I have some sort of clue of what I'm doing.

I also bump only from mobile (on here 43367x a day) so it's hard to reply to things. But I do try to participate when I can!

Anyway moral of this awfully written story is I'm a major fucking creeper.

blackberry1006 · June 2014

I was active in the first tri, but got very sick with HG and moved and just ended up not getting on much... Now I've been lurking for the past couple of months because I felt like a doucher for leaving...

ksspiff · June 2014

Like Emilyfae, I don't know if I qualify.

Yeah I've been on Parenting here and there, @GotGingy is/was on Blended Families with me and pulled me over there. But I haven't changed my username.

I White Knighted on one post in first tri when I started. I will stand by my decision. They were being super mean to this girl and I actually never posted again on that board. This board isn't bad at all.

nolemomma14 · June 2014

I was a fairly active participant in the beginning, then became somewhat of a lurker, but now am more active again. Not for any particular reason, but hopefully I'm not too much of a stranger to the regulars on here!

mrsllove · June 2014

@Emilyfae‌ I've never been on a message board before this but I can say most of the people on here that get flamed deserve it.

I don't even remember what I white knighted about in the beginning. I'm sure someone not on mobile could see it though. I'm thoroughly entertained on this board though so I never really went away after that.

baby+drumm · June 2014

I was active when I first became pregnant. I've been back and forth for the last few months. Mostly lurking and trying to keep up with the ladies I met in the beginning. It's been crazy being pregnant, having a two year old, moving into a new house, and having a husband that travels a good bit.

Emilyfae · June 2014

@mrsllove I totally agree with you, but these ladies were being super ruthless about the dumbest shit ever. I think @Bliss+Berry flamed me really badly. It's funny looking back on it, but I still stubbornly stand by my decision

TRS48 · June 2014

Good post @bullybutt‌ - I too am interested! Its kinda hard to get excited when randoms post super amazing baby news bc I feel like I have no clue who they are. But don't get me wrong I'm still excited for them, it's just a little awkward

Csltdk · June 2014

I'm convinced they are all AE from December 14.

blacktie3 · June 2014

I like to read about people experiences and if I think I have something of constructive value to contribute I speak up. Nothing personal toward anyone

Csltdk · June 2014

We should really have a post it thread. I only have 3 on mine out of pure laziness but I'd love to see everyone else's

Saritaota614 · June 2014

I dont know if I apply or not... I participate in the pgal check in regularly and have posted a few questions/responses here and there.

I just tend to not get caught up in answering if I dont know something new to be said.

MississippiCatfish · June 2014

I intro'ed in the beginning and then lurked on and off - sometimes I didn't EVEN lurk...gasp. I have a home on Sept12 so I just stuck around there, mostly. I think I've just been posting a little more regularly (daily) as it actually feels real and is on my mind now that I'm due in 4 days;)

kenziebug22 · June 2014

Im a newbie but did post a little about myself and why i just joined in, didnt know what all to write but im willing to share about myself if you ladies are curious, just ask

mrsllove · June 2014

@Luckynumbers81‌ yes! ! That's exactly my thoughts!

I lurked and never participated once on my original BMB Dec 11 board, I did it because I never really felt like I had anything to add. It wasn't a self esteem thing, it was more of a "by the time I get there someone else has already stated what I was going to say" and then it just became habit. Like it would be too weird to join and say something like, Hi guys, I know all about you and you know nothing about me!

Obviously, I have learned what an awesome thing participating can be!

Was that even coherent?

^^ This has been me during my pregnancy. I intro'd in the beginning, and answered a few questions that I felt I knew about. Then, time just got away from me. I can't bump at work (teacher), and I have a long commute. So by time I catch up on the fun stuff, I don't feel like there is much to add. Everyone has already taken care of it. I also had most of my questions answered by reading the threads, so I didn't feel the need to ask my own questions. And by time I realized I was in dirty lurker status, it just became awkward to try and get involved. It's totally my fault; you ladies rock! Oh, and I work in a very small town...and got freaked out on one of the getting to know you threads when I realized there was at least one (if not two) posters on here from that town. I suddenly realized how much I value anonymity.

cyndelgrace · June 2014

Shit got crazy when we opened a restaurant. This is my third pregnancy on the nest/bump boards... Now I'm all "modified bed rest" and business... Plus, you've all started popping out babies and I'm envious so I'm baaaaaack.

MrsBarron90 · June 2014

I mainly lurk because I like to read what everyone posts. Most of the time I don't really have much more to add than what has already been said. No hating going on here...I'm honestly just too lazy to type out what's on my mind. Haha

reg202 · June 2014

I'm in the boat where I'm not sure if I'm a lurker or not. I reply to posts every once in a while when I feel like I actually have something to contribute. I guess I'm an introvert both in real life and online. I do make a point of lovetitting like it's my job. Does that count as participating?

TeacherGirl17 · June 2014

I introed in the beginning and then life with DS1 and working got too crazy. I didn't even lurk for most of the 2nd tri. The last month and a half or so I've been lurking a lot and I felt guilty for not being around so I never re-introed.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, here's my re-intro. DS1 will be 2 on July 9th and I was part of the July 2012 board. I'm a teacher and DH is a park ranger. DS2 will actually be a June baby since I am sitting in L&D right now waiting for DH to drive across Nevada to be here for my RCS. I'm very excited to be able to hold my baby in a few hours.

I have gotten so much enjoyment from this board in the last few weeks so thank you for allowing me to lurk.

This is me, too. I also find that once I catch up on everything, I really need to get back to work and don't have time to add anything of substance. Damn job.

baxterdreamer · June 2014

I introed way back when I found out we were pregnant. To tell the truth, I was super intimidated way back then. Like am I funny enough for this? Are my opinions lame?! Also, being a FTM I felt like I didn't have anything to contribute.

Now I feel ridiculous saying that. I don't think I qualify as a lurker as much as I did before...like I went from SuperFreak Lurker to Occasional Poster. And y'all already know my adoration for everyone so I don't want to start being the kissass

This. I have participated more lately since I've been on bed rest.

OMG Blackberry you're back!!!!! I was so worried about you! Yay!!! I'm so excited to see that everything is going great for you.

SimpleComplexity · June 2014

Like a few others, life just became very busy for me this spring. Being a ftm I didn't think i could give much advice. Now that I'm home more I post every couple days when I need to vent, can relate to a post, or see something interesting.

I am back! I've been stalking all of you for a few months, but felt far too guilty to post anything. But I just had to come back to see everyone's beautiful babies!

V1981 · June 2014

I participated in the beginning. Loved getting to know everyone! Honestly, things got a little...eh... and and I stopped checking. My kids were super busy and this pregnancy has been non stop ups and downs. I've been checking back to see who's had their babies, and thought about a lot of you and the goods and bads of what's happened to some

Hopefully now that I'm home for the summer I can jump in more and I'm sure I'll be glad to have a place to go at 2am with the new one. If that's ok and you can take me back.

CandiMil · June 2014

I intro'd and put in my 2 cents a few times in the beginning but since I changed jobs in March, I don't get on as much. I have been praying and silently cheering you regulars on though.

ARogers26 · June 2014

I mainly have acess on mobile... and I hate typing on mobile. Uh oh am I on the lurker list?

AshliS422 · June 2014

Attempted to post in the beginning and became to busy with work and my son to continue. I know who the regulars are and come on as often as I can. But once I read through everything what I want to say has already been said or I never get to the bottom because I'm tired and need to go to bed. Basically no good excuse for not participating.
