I could thought you had made a post... But now its gone so either I am blind and don't see it or it's gone, either way... I've had a really bad few days since my last post and didn't feel like posting, I lurked a little but mostly stayed away. I had a less than pleasant doctors appt on wednesday, got in an argument with H. And have to play the waiting game to either deliver my baby or find out if somethings wrong on thursday. So I guess I just haven't been in the mood to post.

Re: MB
Oh, so you mean you DID see the responses you received to your sudden, unnecessary outburst?
OK, just checking...

Jamie - I hope your next few days go by quickly! Drake will be here soon, and I'll be thinking of you. Good luck with labor if you don't post before then.

Good luck to you Jamie! Sorry you've had a rough week. Try to ignore the snarky comments and focus on what matters. Wishing you a happy and safe delivery!
Ditto-ing this. Hang in there a few more days and best of luck on your delivery.
Oh, I see.
Snark, at my expense, is excused when one can blame it on the hormones.
FTR -- I didn't start this one.
I was just reminding Jamie that what she said didn't go unnoticed. Not by me. Or anyone else for that matter.
But I guess all I need to do is have a fight with my husband, whine about it on the board, and that makes everything all better.
Duly noted.

Actually, I rolled my eyes at Jamie's part in that post too. We all get a little out of hand now and then. However, making that your avatar and siggy is a little uncalled for. Making a "concerned" post with the sole purpose of bringing it back up is definitely uncalled for. You're being a b!tch, MB. You never have a problem telling anyone else, so you need to be able to take a dose of your own medicine. Whether she mentioned a fight with her husband or not, I felt like she should know that I think your comments are unacceptable.
ditto DD...
It is all just ridiculous.
Zuma Zoom
She can't take a joke, so I'm a b!tch?
I don't wanna blow rainbows up her arse, so I'm snarky?
Double standards are awesome.
updated 10.03.12
No, you were rude when you said you can't stand her whiny arse. When you called her out this week to make sure she saw it 'in front' of everyone. When you changed your sig and avatar to rub it in, just that much more.
It's not a double standard. You took it to a whole new level.
Zuma Zoom
I think the point of the siggy and avatar were to show how ridic the whole thing was in the first place. Because, really, it was ridic.
/Ame's words of wisdom.
Can't stand her whiny arse = truth. Not gonna beat around the bush when she decided to go off the deep end.
Did I call her out today? Sure did.
And I'm sorry, what's this Thursday? St. Patrick's Day? Oh yeah! I'm Irish and I actually LIKE celebrating it. And I enjoy Guinness. Also, I didn't go out and buy my daughter a green St. Patrick's Day outfit at Jamie's expense, tyvm.
Y'all need to back the f*ck off, seriously.

this. also didnt we establish that Jamie only had a fit because of WHO said it not WHAT was said? therefore, Jamie can lash out at MaryBeth for no reason, blame it on her hormones and never apologize and its perfectly fine. but when MaryBeth jabs back at Jamie then Marybeth is the b!tch because Jamie is pregnant and argued with her husband. is that what youre saying?
Honestly. I really just wanted to wish Jamie a good last few days. The extra stuff in between got to me.
Zuma Zoom
Actually, MB, I agreed with you that the Guiness comments were harmless and that if it was who made the post not what the post really said that fired her up. Similar things happen on this board all of the time, SW2B, being the most common example, of course. My problem is that when you want to get snarky with someone you have your team jump right on the bandwagon with you. (points above). Some of us don't have that, and Jamie has been super nice and supportive to me off board, so I think she deserves the same from me. No one asked you to blow rainbows up her arse, but I still think starting a concerned post just to rehash old drama is the snarkiest of the snarky. I really do wish her a happy and stressfree last few days.
That is laughable coming from you DD who almost always "teams up" with Smo or has Smo team up with you. A lot of times, McD is in on it too.
No where in her OP was she "concerned". She wanted to know if Jamie had indeed seen her comments and was ignoring them, or if she was having her baby. I dont think it had anything to do with the wellbeing of Jamie and the status of Drake, right or wrong.
I'm not saying I agree with MaryBeth calling out Jamie a week later, BUT I do think you guys are having a little bit of a double standard here. Jamie got snarky with MaryBeth and, in my opinion, wrongly blamed it on her hormones. MaryBeth got snarky back and now you're jumping down her throat unnecessarily. Jamie being b!tchy to MaryBeth warrants a little snark on MaryBeth's part IMO.
I guess laugh on then. DD doesn't have me do anything. Nor do I have her do things. Often times we see the same crap, and we're often the ones that feel comfortable chiming in on a post about it. There are a lot of people who feel the way we do about rude or uncalled for behavior on this board. I know, because people tell me. It isn't an assumption. Those people just aren't as outspoken about it as we are, or it just isn't worth their time. Either stance I totally understand.
If people see it and feel more up to calling it out for what it is, more power to them. DD and I don't work as a team. We have a lot in common and tend to see things similarly. Neither of needs back up for what we say because we believe in what we post.
In her OP, she didn't have to actually say "I'm concerned" for us to allude to what her purpose might be. Most of us are excited and waiting for her delivery. i.e. ChristinaDawn's post above. I think that is why most of us were shocked and frustrated with the actual purpose of her post.

Like the interchangeable use of gender and sex.
Yes, I had to go there. Sorry. I'm going to beat that one to death.
My Acme Box last update 3/28/11
You don't even agree with her, and you're still rallying your support. If Smo said something snarky, I guarantee you I wouldn't be rushing to her defense. Yes, we often agree on things, but our teaming up is usually us just having enough backbone to tell one of you when you're being ridiculous. Jamie didn't feel the need to apologize. Most of you rarely apologize about your snarkyness. She doesn't have to tuck her tail and bow to the powerful MB, and she should be allowed to ignore those comments and move on without having it thrown in her face again. The girl is due any day now and having problems. After all of your talk about knowing when to be emotionally sensitive and appropriate, you (and by you I mean MB too) should know to just drop this. Bringing it up in a separate post days after the fact was uncalled for. Also, the point of my original reply was not to jump down MB throat, just to let Jamie know that we're not all against her now. I know what it feels like to be attacked on this board and feel like no one is rushing to your defense. This isn't the time to make the girl feel like everyone is against her.

Which is exactly why MB, Amelia and I are close. I dont agree on her calling Jamie out a week later, no. But I do agree that she shouldnt be all peaches with Jamie and you shouldnt call her snarky when she is justified.
Also dont get on your high horse about people telling you their opinion of the way others behave on this board because I've heard my fair share of off board comments about the way you react and treat people and have gotten my own kudos on responding to your "team".
I don't have a team. I also don't have a horse.
Zuma Zoom
This honestly wasn't my point MB. We've all made snarky comments before, myself included, and we usually get called out for our snarkiness. You and I have butted heads plenty of times before and we've always moved on and been very sociable and friendly towards each other. I don't want you to feel attacked, just like I don't want Jamie to feel attacked. Sometimes it's just nice to know that everyone doesn't see it the same way and that everyone isn't against you.
DD I get your point and I understand why you said what you said. I just thought it was unfair to call MB out on her snarkiness when she had been snarked at first. Of course I realize two snarks dont make a right
Jamie, in all seriousness, I wouldnt wish a sick baby on anyone and I truly hope that Drake is okay and that you have a smooth delivery when the time comes.
HA!
And to insinuate that I would revel at the idea of an unwell child is ridiculous. But of course, this all surfaced AFTER the fact, so now it's just more fodder for the "MB is a heartless b!tch" campaign.
*le sigh*
