Yeah I've made my little group of friends that I cherish very much around here, not naming names or clarifiying what I mean by that, but there are certain people I feel safe with and certain that I just don't trust. I never said anything on the internet was safe; I just feel like the posters in this thread needs were more trustworthy than some of the more recent. That doesn't mean I don't like anyone or not want people to participate, it just means I am very conscious of what I post here because I have no idea who is looking at it and I don't feel a sense of security I felt with others. No need to flame me for that.
Wait, wait, wait...are you directing that at me @leosmom25? Because my comment about privacy on the internet wasn't directed at you and I'm at a complete loss to see how it might have been taken as a flame. A lot of people have made similar comments in the last couple of threads. Because I don't see a lot of names I don't recognize around here, I've wondered if they've been directed at me. But then thought...I've been here since May and I post regularly, so I hoped I was mistaken.
I just found it interesting that people kept making that remark when personal details from the first thread regularly made their way into other threads. Maybe you didn't notice it, but they did. Not to mention it was a very public thread. And frankly, I had started to post there before the weekend shitshow started, so if I make you feel unsafe, that was occurring in the original thread, too.
So anyway...this day has mega-sucked already...I guess I can handle another little bite of suckage.
@Cheekers2010, it was this exchange, the lack of response/denial to my post, and the volume of love-tits on leosmom's post that are leading me to draw conclusions. Also, I think I'm the only person who's started posting in this thread recently with any regularity? I'd love to be wrong, but I also don't want to be obtuse.
I didn't respond to this earlier because I thought I was missing something.
I could be wrong but I don't think leosmom was referencing you at all. I love titted her post because I agreed with the general sentiment.
Also, I stay pretty on top of this thread and no ... you are not the only one to start posting recently at all.
ETA: And by all that I meant don't stress it, people like you and no one is kicking you out
(1) I had my BIL's wedding this weekend and missed everything that happened. Now I feel lost and sad that everything is changing and I don't totally know why.
(2) I totally thought of 2 UOs that I was saving for Thursday. Already forgot one. They were obviously really good.
(3) I love Taco Bell, but am scared to eat it while pregnant. Not sure what that says about me since I'm all about it while not pregnant.
----Quote Box Fail----
Taco Bell and crack, two things that are totally okay when not pregnant but should be avoided once with child.
Cool. So I see it was a pretty quiet and uneventful day 'round these parts, huh?
Holy shit, guys.
Just a thought, but what if we went to a random old thread started by one of the regulars, that has few posts, and turner that into a new "this board needs.." It wouldn't show up as new thread, and may be buried for lurkers. Title would be ambiguous and we could just tag people to tell them where it is?

Confession #4: I don't think crack is ok even when you're not pregnant...
I seriously am having a crap-tastic day all the way around. I'll offer an apology if I misconstrued anything. It's easy to turn things on yourself when you're already feeling low.
DH is taking me out for a movie when he gets home. I'm a lucky girl.
I have moments like that too. Sounds like a movie and ice cream are a good idea tonight.

Seriously ... I want movies and ice cream. What I need to do is put down the bump and go do the chores I need to get done.
So my DH was checking our wireless internet cause the router was acting funny and one of the "found" networks just within range was labelled "NSA Survelliance System". He tried to screenshot it but it disappeared. Now he thinks the neighbors who moved in like a 1-1.5mo ago are actually NSA spies, because they always have people coming and going all hours of the day from the house.
Oh, did I mention he thinks they're spying on us because he works for the government? I tried to tell him he's not that impt but he ignored me.

My h always gives our networks (there are multiple, he's a tech geek and a half) humorous names. Your h is a little overly paranoid lol.
I think our home network was I'm Watching You for awhile. Now it's just The Crazies.

I'm dying cause now he says that's why our internet has been acting up lately and why the "electrical company" suddenly moved the neighbor's cables from their house, though our lawn to our green box or whatever. The company said the cables were under the sidewalk, not the lawn as they should be but the didn't rip up the sidewalk so it's fueling this further.
I told him to be really careful at work cause I'm not ashamed over my streaming tv habits or online shopping choices.

I just had the impression that you might be being a little too sensitive. I get it. I'm having a crappy day, too. But, honestly, it's best not to take anything so seriously especially here. Much better for your sanity.
Sooo need to catch up. Will happen when I get home. But the growth scan went well. She's pretty much on target. Got a 3d of LO partially covering her face with her hand. Apparently she was reflecting what I was thinking at the time and performing a *facepalm*.
My little guy did that too! Congrats on the great scan!
MH and I were so ready to get out of the office today, so we went to lunch at a nicer restaurant in town. It was wonderful to get out away from the office and be by ourselves.
Thanks for all the sympathy after my pity party post ladies! I survived... I definitely should have made them clarify just how long the wait was going to be once I realized that they were running even a little bit behind because they didnt get me in for my 2:30 u/s until 4:00!! The front desk girl was very sympathetic and checked in with me and I said I was okay just tired after being there all day and wished i had brought more food but all she offered me was to lay down in one of the rooms - very kind of her, but the hunger was the main issue. I was starting to worry I was going to pass out during the ultrasound (Ive never passed out in my life, so in reality I have no clue what it feels like when youre about to faint). Anyways, I drove straight to a Subway afterwards and inhaled my chips in the car on the way home and then inhaled my footlong as soon as I got home. Baby girl looked perfect! 3lbs 7oz at 30 weeks now and already head down
Okay so I thought I caught up on all the drama but can someone link to the catfish thread or whatever that everyone keeps referencing!? I am so confused.

I only just started posting on this thread regularly, as I also didn't have time to catch up in the last go around, though I did comment on other topical threads as they came up. I certainly don't want anyone to feel unsafe because I started posting here; I hope that as I post more others will see I'm not someone to be feared!

I'm pretty sure leosmom25's post was directed at me, not you @bluebird00, b/c of my post about a private bump or FB group.
And there is nothing I can do to make people feel like I am trustworthy, other than just continuing to post and trying to get to know people. I'd encourage you to do the same -- try not to take it too personally and move on.
I know you're having a rough day, so I'm glad to see you got a little reassurance from some of the other posters. Keep on keepin' on!
D14 November Siggy Challenge - How I Feel 3rd Tri:
@amedbery, the cat fishing thread was on another board, J15 I think. There was a lot more that went on though. Not sure what you're referencing. We had the BC invasion and the disappearance of the mods this past weekend and also lost a few members.
That makes sense. The catfish thing I never saw. The rest I did (unfortunately). Thanks!
Called the vet today... they were confused why I was looking to have Diva Dog come in next week versus late November and December for her wellness exam & vaccinations. Maybe I am planning too far ahead?

Not at all! We took ours in just a couple of months ago, but I don't want to have to worry about them after I give birth. We are also going to have to take them to the pet hotel while I am in the hospital, so they have to have proof of vaccinies, etc. Way to be proactive!
We are attempting to get to the bottom of leak now. We do not believe it was meant to be malicious and instead an honest mistake, on what we believe to be a Google doc redirecting issue. The only people that have access to the actual requests are the admins, which only includes your bump username, if you met requirements, and were sent an invite.
While we do not expect everyone to stay in the fb group, we are well aware that some may no longer feel comfortable and in that case, we understand why they may choose to leave the group. However, I don't see many (if any) choosing to leave as a result as we've already started building a great community.
Due to the drama here, we've recently had an influx of new requests and given the sensitivity of the issues at hand, we are attempting to get to the bottom of this leak and taking extreme precautions before adding new members.

I don't think any of us think it was malicious. We just want to know how she got her hands on it. That's all. Thanks for addressing this!
It seemed to me like she was trying to link to the form to join the group, and something went wonky with Googledocs. If you look at the post, she was extending an invite.

No, @bluebird00, I've started posting to this thread more frequently when I hadn't to the other one! When I read people's comments about feeling 'unsafe' I just kind of blow it off in hopes I post regularly enough elsewhere that it wouldn't be directed at me. Or I'll just keep posting enough until maybe one day I'll stop making people feel unsafe Hope your day turns around!
I posted this on the FB page and want to share it here.

As you guys can see, there is a pinned post and before the last couple of hours, it contained a link to give people who were interested in joining.
A few days ago, another admin asked me for the link so she could add it to the pinned post.
I had been busy and took a few days to get it to her, and when I did, I for some reason unknown, gave her the private link to view responses, instead of the form to request membership, like she asked for.
She posted it in the pinned post. and it was passed out from there on tb page.
@LadyThrice had NO CLUE what she was pasting. She simply gave the link that was provided to her in the pinned post here.
This is all on me. I will not blame pregnancy brain. I fucked up. In the days between where I was asked for the form to fill out, and the time I actually gave it to her, I confused myself on what she had requested.
I am sorry. The truth is some people have seen your email addresses. I pray nothing malicious comes from it.
We have taken steps to ensure it never happens again. Instead of hiding emails after invites are sent, they are deleted. NO ONE but admins can see the sheet, even if you have the link.
If it' mistakenly handed out again, they cant see anything anyway.
I can not tell you how incredibly sorry I am. There is nothing I can do to fix it, only make sure it does not happen again.
Wow! I go to work for a few hours and everything goes crazy. FB is blocked at work, so can't get on there either.
Have a doctor's appointment today. Excited because I haven't had one in 3 weeks. Also excited because my doctor's been away and I haven't seen her in 9 weeks. Just a routine appointment though, so will just get weighed, measured, pee test and hopefully hear a strong heart beat .
I didn't post on the other thread because it got so big so fast and I didn't want to play catch up on thousands of posts. Can I still go here?
I'm with you. I feel like we've been here long enough?
I hope so! I'm not super active, but I hope people recognize my delicious, golden fried SN. Don't want to give anyone the heebie jeebies, as I've experienced them myself after all the nonsense this past weekend. Trying hard to keep up with everyone's name changes!
Aw, I'm bummed Hodor 1.0 was killed. I was actually keeping up with that one!
I'm just realizing it is Halloween next week. I should actually buy some candy since we tend to get a fair # of trick or treaters. What can I get that I won't gobble up by next week? I just want all the reese's I can find...

Your SN and your avatar are both pretty recognizable to me and I'm not here NEARLY as often as others, so you're probably good.

I keep seeing a poster with the same avatar as me as well as a SN starting with "S" and at first glance I think it's myself, SO I've changed my avatar to this lovely V for Vendetta mask, don't be afraid.
Edit: shucks, it didn't work......I shall keep trying.
