Would anyone be willing to give a quick rundown on GKU board étiquette? In case is differs in any way from a BMB. I don't mind being seen as a bitch but only if its on purpose I'm super nice, I swear.
However, I did say beg-uhl for a long time. I converted to bay-guhl in college.
I say both. I seems to change depending on who i'm talking to at the time.
I also say bay-guhl and wah-ter. I grew up in NJ, but my accent is usually hard for people to place. The only explaination I could come up with was that my parents are from NYC, but neither have heavy accents. My dad's only major tell is that he says 'uge instead of huge.

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG GUISE
1) Put loss triggers or other triggers (abuse, etc) in spoilers (click on the little caution triangle in the top right) 2) On that same vein, use a spoiler for any Game of Thrones spoilers. 3) BFP posts are cool if you have an established presence and have made frands in these parts. Otherwise, sharing a bfp is better done in TWW thread (if you tend to participate mostly there) Random drive-by bfp's are not cool. But, we don't seem to have a lot of drive-bys these days. 4) Mentioning LO's is not something that needs to be put in a spoiler on the general GKU forums, but if you post in a loss forum it's considered kind to put that in a spoiler. 5) You can say whether you're counter butter or fridge butter but be ready to defend yourself.

Like @wallflwr926 said, it's mostly no peesticks.
Also, no racism. Symptom spotting only in the TWW threads (and try to keep it tame in there, too).
Other than that... we're pretty free wheelin' around here.

Jk I'm new but I just think the countess is slaying on rhony this season and the gif was appropriate.

Good suggestions, thanks! I had assumed waiting to do something was only for people on the bench or in between IF treatments. Oh yes, I drink. Working on bedtime with DS right now so i can have a beer after this garbage evening. Also yes to Canada. In Ontario. I post a bit on the Canada board too but it is pretty dead over there.
Yay! Come to WTDS (waiting to do something)!
Yes join us! There is a thread from today. Just jump right in.
"Put up dishes." The phrase is still so bizarre to me.
EDIT: not trying to scare off creepy lurker :-). Just pointing out a funny phrase that is unheard of where I am.
So I have to know do you say "draw" or "drawer".
I say drawer. Is that normal? In real life people say I have a neutral accent, even though I'm from texas. It's only southern if I'm talking to my dad because he has a heavy accent.
ETA- sorry didn't know that was directed at Joy. I should have read further before commenting.
I started lurking here earlier this year and was on the verge of introing, but then it was more appropriate for me to join N15 instead. Unfortunately my stay there was all too brief, and I moved on to CAL. Now that my cycle has finally returned 4 months after my D&C and we've burned the bench, I've found myself lurking here again. I'm not sure yet how active I'll be here, but this seemed like a good opportunity to make my presence known
Thanks! All pretty much what I thought. Aside from the butter debate. I'm used to heated debate on toilet paper roll over or under (the correct answer is over, if you didn't already know). FTR, I keep my butter in the fridge but leave a little on the counter if I know I will need it soon. If anyone spoils GOT for me I will rage. Among other shows. I will head over to WTDS now

Housewives gifs are my favorite!
And I LOVED this scene. "Be cool! Don't be all uncool!"

Are you North East or South Ontario (there is no west?)

I'm very new, been mostly lurking on TB for a few months...I mostly like to lurk (I wish I could IRL all the time), but this thread seems like a good place to say hi!
I don't know if this is the right place for this question but how can I tell who is the same on TB and here? I've seen one or two I could guess...are there more? I'm mainly asking because I have secret lady crushes on a few regs there and I would like to keep creepy lurking here. : )
