I feel like fb in general can be a bit overwhelming for me because I belong to so many groups.. It's hard to keep track of everything. I like this site even though I may frequently creep in the background. It's hard being on your phone with your little one just wants to grab at everything

I kind of miss TB. Everyone was close there. I feel like things got a little cliquey while I was MIA, I was in the process of being hospitalized twice, giving birth and moving all at the same time. I tried to get on the original FB group when I came back and I was told it was closed to new members.....uh, Hellooo I was posting on TB through my entire pregnancy and missed those guise. I thought that was just not cool. Kinda felt like a slap to the face.

And even if you managed to batsignal someone before it was closed, you'd still be put up to a vote and either voted in or not. So good luck with that. (I wasn't voted in, for reasons left unexplained.) I miss the N14 group that was around like 9 months ago on TD. It's sad what's happened with multiple splits and whatnot... but I'm doing my best to make a community somewhere, even if that means meeting some new online faces.

Wait! What? There were votes? Oh man ... I had no idea!!
Wow wildflower810, that is very surprising to me that you were not voted in. I liked the silliness we had over there, but I'm very pleased with our current crew -- we're still whore knights!!

Wait... to clarify... there are TWO (or more?) N14 fb groups. The one where LissyDee is an admin is still accepting new members and is pretty open. You won't find a lot of TD "regs" there, though. The other group is where some of the regs went a while ago. It's closed, you had to be voted in, etc. It's basically someone's whim if they don't want another person around, I think.

I think there are 3. One totally public one that blew my mind, Lissydee's where I am now and Maelara's where they vote. I don't know if they voted me out or what but my interaction was very short, I asked how to get in and I was simply told that the group was closed for now and to check with the other one. It's really too bad but I'm good here and with the non-judgy FB.
All hail the mighty facebook group I've been so overwhelmed lately (well, for the last 6 months lol) that I forget to come on here. It's nice being able to stay in touch with people.

littleapplemom - there's a completely public one? Are they women from TB? That would be a little too open for me, but I wouldn't mind checking it out just out of curiosity. I miss TB just because it was such a significant part of my pregnancy, even though I rarely commented. I learned so much, and it felt good not to be alone; however, it was a little cliquey and sometimes harsh. I don't get that vibe at all here or on the FB group I'm in.

spiraltheory, yes, the totally public one has over 500 members. The one for TB that lissydee runs is a "secret group" (that's really what FB calls it) and I requested an invite to join. That one is like, 180 members and has a note showing PB/TB to Real names. I'm so used to everyone's TB and PB names that I kind of don't pay any attention to real names. I'm a bad FB buddy.

Pretty sure the public one is just another random group and not related to TB... I've never heard of it until right now.

littleapplemom - thanks! I'm in the FB that lissydee runs. I like it. I was always looking at PB/TB list trying to keep everyone straight, but I'm getting better at it now. How did you find the huge public group? I don't know why I'm curious about it.

spiraltheory,I just searched November 2014 babies thinking I'd luck out and find people or posts about TB and where everyone went. It came up in the results. I didn't know anything about secret groups and apparently they don't show up if you just search. There's an October/November 2014 babies group too.

littleapplemom I was on those open fb groups too. I got out because it's gets totally creepy with weird guys that just like to look at babies and moms..
I haven't joined any Facebook groups because of the privacy issue too. Plus I was a lurker on TD because I found it so late and was too nervous to jump in. I'm so worried about privacy that if I share a picture I'll go back and delete it after a day or two. I'm kind of weird like that I guess...
