Can I change my screen name?
I know some places it says that you cannot change your screen name. Do I have to create a new profile to change it? Just wondering?

TTC #1 since 08/11 IUI#2 = BFP!
wow...
There are (or were) a couple of people on this board that would flame people like that but I'm glad times like that are now few and far between.
And yes, you have to start all over again with a whole new account.
BOTB forgets nothing. We are a sponge of memory.
I just don't understand why people DD stuff. Apparently it was important enough for you to post, but when people start disagreeing with you, you just delete it and run away and hope they leave you alone. That just makes you even MORE of a target.
People post stupid stuff. It happens. Own up to it. Don't try to hide it when the opinions aren't what you wanted to hear.
TTC #1 since January 2013
I honestly think a couple of people on here are just plain rude. You do have to deal with people responding and not agreeing with the BOTB post but this post had nothing to do with that one.
To bring up something on a different post just to be hurtful shows what kind of people these girls are. I also would love to change my name on here so I was really interested in the answer to her question. I assume since XcitedBride is no longer a bride she may like to change her name.
I hope when I decide to conceive that the BOTB board will be friendly and honest and not get snarky on another post. It was wrong to advertise the DD'd post that Xcited was obviously embaressed to have posted for others to read. I have been on this board for two years and hope that we don't become so snarky that we turn other brides away. Honesty is one thing and cruelty is another. There is a way to write and hold yourself with tact and grace and still disagree.

I'm going to keep visiting BOTB purely for the siggy pictures:
I love the Vagina/clown car picture...so true, so true.
Also...xcited-did you seriously think that was flaming? Heaven help you on the intarwebz, they were being nice compared to some of the other boards! And compared to some of the other stuff I've seen on BOTB.
Also...Joa-Ummmmm...taking something from another board and posting it for a different group of girls to talk about? Isn't that what the original post was? "OMG, can you believe the BNOTB ladies would say this?" She just got upset when no one else thought it was crazy-ridiculous and they called her on completely missing the sarcasm in the original BNOTB post.
Aravis...Ummm.....This post had nothing to do with that one so honestly I did not want to hear all of the snarky comments on this post. She did not post a copy of a DD from another post. I have no problem with them calling her out on the other post. She deleted it and said she was sorry...why continue to beat the girl when she is down on here. It is easy to miss the sarcasm when people are writing. I am not saying she was right on the original post but enough is enough also. If you have a huge problem with her just PM her and let her know. Like I said my opinions only. I would not be all up in the situation if it was not reposted on a post that had nothing to do with the past situation.
On another note, I have followed you on the Buying a home board and the BOTB board. How is your house coming along?
Considering that no one else missed the sarcasm it obviously isn't THAT hard to catch it. DDing because you didn't like the responses is considered bad manners on any board across the Nest AND the Knot. I've been around for a long time and that doesn't go well for anyone, it either gets reposted or another thread gets started to bash the original poster even more for DDing. I still maintain that they weren't even that mean. And I was certainly not snarky in my post here. If you want me to be, I absolutely can...but you haven't seen it yet.
I think you might be thinking of someone else about the BOTB board...I posted there once, maybe twice and it was about a year ago. You might be thinking of someone else on the buying a home board, too...I haven't posted there since like...February, maybe March. Either way...we didn't end up closing because...well, it's a long story, I'll try to make it short. I work at a tv station and we, along with nine other stations in our group, were sold to a new owner last year (we were Fox owned and operated, now we're Fox affiliated). I worked in the traffic department (it has to do with commercials) and there were four of us, we were the smallest traffic department in the station group. The new owners upgraded the system we used to do our job and then decided that every station needed only 1.5 people to do what we were barely managing with four (one manager who is over two stations and one person at each station). Everyone had to apply for the new positions and I had the least seniority at four years in the department, my boss who had been there for 24 years wanted no part of this crap and took the severence package, my coworker who had been there for 23 years transferred into another department, my coworker who's been there for 11 years got the one traffic job for our station (she hates it because she's doing a two person job by herself and we're not allowed to work overtime), and I also got transferred...unfortunately taking about a 30% paycut, but MH wasn't allowed to work in the US yet and I couldn't be without work. It was just enough to live on, but we couldn't meet the debt-to-income requirements anymore and lost the house. We're just starting to look again now that MH has been working for a few months.
Hey Aravis,
I am not trying to be snarky and I am only stating my opinion. I understand the nest and knot but I disagree with the reposting of this thread on here. I believe in speaking my mind like you do and agree to disagree on this one. I have been on the May 09 board for awhile and I just hope we don't treat someone with disrespect even if what she did was wrong on the other board. She was asking a great question that had nothing at all to do with the other one. I do not want to be one of those girls that harass someone for saying something stupid. To me it is childish and mean. Okay, for the original post but otherwise I think it is almost a form of bullying. It being around on the knot and the nest for ages does not make it right. The point was taken and admitted prior so why keep hurting someone. I do understand your point but just don't agree.
On to better things that deserve both of our time...I bought my home in January of this year and remember you and your hubbie and him not being a citizen as of yet. If I remember right you were doing the home improvement loan. I could be forgetting though. I am sorry that you lost the house and were transferred with the paycut. I actually worked in Television years ago and did traffic for a short amount of time. I hope you find a even better house then the last one. Is your hubby in the states now? Was he canadian if I remember correctly? Yea, I saw your post on BOTB awhile back. I have been around too long. I pipe up here and there. I hope to chat more in the future and I appreciate you making your point and your honesty.
