Very late intro..

[mirage86]

Welcome! As a GTKY: What threads have you liked the most since you have been lurking? Any you don't like? Are there any posters that you feel you relate with the most?
Overall, the best way to get involved and ease any worries is to jump in, so feel free to start posting!

IMO there's no way this is she who must not be named. She knows we are on high alert.

Yeah but has that stopped her before? On April fools she was the only one to create an AE after it had been said that it was surprising no one had done it.

True. But that was when she was still an active part of this group and (some) people still liked her, right? She was always crazy, but I think she knows some people are still working on the whole ooohburn situation.
Trying to give the benefit of the doubt here I guess.

shahoi oh no! I hope the learning curve isn't too bad! Maybe I'll give it a try later tonight!

thecatsmeow thank you!

Welcome! Fellow New Englander here. Apparently Englander isn't a word it seems. Oh well. Welcome all the same

stcyct. Thank you! I've always said New Englander too and my phone didn't autocorrect so it must be a word.

Welcome. Don't mind my tin foil hat and shifty eyes.

@jemomma that's fine. Again, I totally understand.

Sorry for my lapse in responses. DD woke up and every time my phone is out she lunges for it. I'm tying to work on that.

A 4th of July baby?! That's so cool - he/she will always have fireworks on their birthday!

Nope, I'm Canadian so he misses the fireworks by a few days.

Oops! Sorry! I didn't even think of this!

Take away g,r,y and add a d,e,a. mgrandy --> demanda.



COINCIDENCE?

@bubbs

That is a pretty far stretch. But nope, no demanda here. My user name is my first initial and my dogs names combined.

Welcome to the board!

Curious, how did you find this board? You said you've only been lurking a few months, that's what makes me ask since most of us are transplants from another place. Just curious if you googled or what.

Hi veggiemo! I found this board because a girl that I went to grade school with (she was 2 yrs older than me) messaged me on Facebook when she saw I had my daughter (her son is a little over a year older than my DD). She referred me to the bump and then comes family. I just got more into it now since I don't know really any moms in my area since moving back home to really share/gain info with.

[3dimesdown]

Ha-- mgrandy I'm just picking on bubbs for being at DEFCON 1 all the time now.

This is also the perfect time to use a Spring Breakers gif...

[mgrandy]

Hi purple!

[mgrandy]

Sorry these are all out of order and all individual. I'm doing this on my phone since I'm in another nap trap!

[periwinkledaydreams]

Hello new person. We are obviously (if youve been lurking) usually more welcoming/less paranoid than this, but its been a weird week. My #1 question is the same as veggiemo, how did you find/chose this place amongst all other internet forums, when you just started reading a few months ago? Just extra curious/skeptical given recent events.

Other than that, what's been your favorite or most helpful part about reading/lurking TCF? Do you only lurk J15 or have you been on other boards also? Welcome and hope to get to know you

@hazeldublin. I'm not sure what AE means, but I hope that you will soon know that I am not this person that you speak of. It really sucks that people chose to catfish as its really hard to join in at this point, which was also one of my hesitations.

@bubbs budders if you feel the need to verify my account please do. I have nothing to hide. My timing clearly is off with my intro

Gotcha. I just always wonder when new users pop up because it's kind of an obscure place to stumble upon. In any case, thanks for joining!

periwinkledaydreams I've just answered this above.

I also lurk on parenting and the breastfeeding forum because we struggled a lot in the beginning and also dealt/deal with reflux.

Game changer if you are associated IRL with another reg TCF poster. If someone vouches for you, I am sure most of our shifty eyes and tin foil hats will stand down.

ETA: I don't want it to sound like someone needs to vouch for you, I was just saying that because you offered up that info and I know that would ease peoples minds.

I guess I could send her a message Facebook to see if she's active. Haha this will probably be creepy.

I mean no offense but you have to understand my hesitation. It's really quite bizarre.

@bubbs119 I understand your hesitation. Clearly my timing to intro was off. There's not much more that I can do except keep posting? I'm not sure.

I don't feel the need, I'm the one trying to talk others down. I'm more of a benefit of the doubt kind of person, especially since, like I said, the only suspicion at this point is the timing.

budders I appreciate that. I definitely didn't mean it in an aggressive/condescending manner. If you have to verify that's okay with me.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I think just jump right into posting and chatting on other threads, and we'll all calm down on you.. eventually
