To The Nesties...

I figured I would start a new thread since the other one was getting kind of long.

I just want to apologize for anything that I ever said on here that may have been misconstrued as snarky.  Granted I have only been posting since 1.17 and I am pretty sure that I have never been anything but nice (since i'm a nice, bubbly kind of girl IRL as well), yet it is an internet board and things can be taken out of context.  I know that it was brought up that the "newbies" posted unfairly in the inauguration and etiquette posts, but I don't think I ever had anything poor to say about that.

You girls are all an exceptional group of ladies and it saddens me that such a divide has been placed in this board.  Jinswifey, I have never wished you anything but the best and I still will.  My heart goes out for you and your situation. I am not sure if you remembered awhile back when you were PG for the 2nd time (I'm sorry if this brings up bad memories) I ventured over from the knot (my previous name was jaclyn&sean) and I wrote a post to you just to tell you how happy I was for you. I cried when I found out that you were PG because I thought no one in the world deserved it more than you, and I feel that way now as well. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to the day when you tell everyone that you have one very, very sticky baby. :)

And to some of the other girls as well I find you downright hysterical.  6ft2 your blinkies and your comments crack me up, you obviously have a very good sense of humor.  Lavendar-Ricci you are one hot mama and a hoot as well. CoolMoD I think you always have fantastic things to say and little Hannah is freakin' adorable.  And Doughgirl, I don't think Nico could be any cuter if he tried. :)

All things said, I really enjoyed you girls posting and hope that you don't go away. I love this board, and even though I am obviously in a way different stage of life I feel as if I can relate to you, as bizarre as that may sound.

I don't know, that's all I really have to say and I hope that you take my apologies for anything I said to heart.

Have a good day girlies. :)

Re: To The Nesties...

  • wtf are the etiquette posts??

    on a side note, nicely said jaci!  I still like you even though you are mean to me!!

  • Thanks Jaci, sincerely.  You're still coming to the GTG, yes?

    Anna -- I can only speak for myself, but I can't recall anyone having an isue with you personally! The etiquette post I was referring to was the one about the thank you notes, it was either last weekor the week before, can't remember exactly.

  • I think I remember the etiquette post being about thank you cards and everyone was getting all hyped about the etiquette on them?  I stayed clear because obviiiii I do not need to write any of those any time soon haha. I could be wrong though.

     And I still like you too and thanks for letting me be mean to you hahaha.

     

  • Yes, if I am still welcomed, I am going to come to the GTG. :)
  • You can be mean to me anytime you want and I will like you regardless!  However, the drama on this board has kept me distracted from my regular overworking self that I am.....time to make the donuts.

    I have no idea about thank you cards or posts related to thank you cards.  Clearly I missed that one....which isn't surprising.

  • I missed it, too, Anna! Stupid job!!!!

    Jaci, that was a nice msg, and I agree 100% with you. There are some fantastic girls on this board. As a Knottie, I liked having already married girls around for advice. As a Nestie, I like having Moms, working women, etc. on here for advice as well. It's nice to have a blend!

  • I think you stated that very well Jaci.  I must agree totaly with you.  I try to word my posts to be as objective and postive as possible.  I take things very personally even when they are not directed to me.  So once a post starts to get snarky or I dont agree I tend to leave it alone.  I really dont like crying at work and it has happened before.  I believe each person is different and their decsions are based on their experinces and if you dont share those experiences there is no need to bad mouth a person.  I dont think that made sense.  Oh well, I am a newbie and hope I am still welcomed at the GTG.  I am really looking forward to meeting everyone.

  • Jaci, you're so cute.  You seem like such a nice, genuine person and that was very sweet. 
  • What a wonderful period to put and end to this drama today!  Thanks for the well wishes and the wonderful things you had to say about all of us.  I will return the warmness by saying that it takes great courage to move to a new city, start your life over and rebuild after a failed engagement.  i did it myself years ago and I admire your inner strength, your sense of humor and your overall candor about everything.  I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

    (you cant miss me, I will be the tall one Wink)

  • So on a seperate note related to the etiquette post.....I found it, read it and almost peed my pants when I read Liz's comments about her obsession with thank you cards.  Good lord, that was funny!
  • The thank notes post was started by me but I know I didn't offend anyone or go after them personally.

  • I didn't want to turn this into another thread about crap again....liz's comment was hysterical though!!  the rest was banter...no worries!!
  • I totally agree with Jaci on this.  Again, I am sorry if I ever said anything to hurt any of you.  It was never my intention and all I can say is that perhaps I fed into drama "on the internet" and disregarded "real" people's feelings.  Which is wrong and I am sorry for it.

       I hope that you all continue to post and we continue to learn from each other.  I think that being on this board with girls in my same boat as well as experienced married ladies is really helpful!
