Um...creepy
I find it SUPER creepy that the FYI post by Jess has only a few responses, but around 500 views! Seriously....creeper go the elf away from our board!
<<<tap tap tap>>>
This thing on? DARRELL GO THE F AWAY!
Re: Um...creepy
Ridiculously creepy. Ew.
I'm seriously thinking about changing my name and getting rid of siggy pics. And, obviously, not revealing anything personal here ever again.
Darrell!? When did he come into the picture?
I dont think its really creepy - I think people just keep clicking on the link looking for an update from Jess. I'm confused by the whole thing?
Jess - are you not moving because your MIL found out and was pissed, or did it just fall through? Either way I'm sorry..
thanks to jennied
Without getting too far into it (since who knows who is reading this), the office the new company planned on opening is running way behind schedule. H wasn't comfortable telling his parents (for a variety of reasons) until the offer and start date was solidified. Since it fell through, we haven't said anything. It's possible that someday, down the road, something will work out with this company, but it won't be for quite some time.
If the 500 creepers could band together with some prayers things will go our way very, very soon, that would be great.
THIS. We're bored.
And I didn't understand the post either...you planned on moving and had your house up for sale and didn't tell your DH's family??? Anyone driving by, or who knew, could have told them in passing not thinking they didn't know....
This was my thought. That being said, I took pictures off LONG ago, when K noticed a picture from our board on a Nest ad on the sidebar.
I'm sorry.
I clicked on it waiting for an update. Now that you have, I will no longer click. Sorry to seem creepy, Jamie
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
Which is still fvcking there despite reassurances from the Bump that they would take it down.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
Sorry it fell through! It does suck that even on a local board you have to watch when you say. I guess you never know what people are lurking who you may know IRL.
What? Ew. Lame, Nest... Lame.
H's family lives on the other side of town. They literally NEVER venture out this way. No one they know lives out here. It's not like we live right on Dodge or something where a bunch of people drive by daily. We're pretty isolated out here.
Yeah, it's my bad for putting it out there when it's a public forum. But, it wasn't that a friend drove by and called like "WTF?" Someone specifically told someone who told my GMIL and MIL. And the only people who knew were on this board and I said in the post to keep it quiet since my ILs didn't yet know.
H is the one who didn't want to tell his parents. I would have liked to by now, but it's a pretty moot point at this stage anyway. We never would have imagined it would have been dragged out this long with this end result.
Shut it creeper.
I took pix off here a while back when a co-irker made some odd comments making me think that she was lurking on the board. I no longer have a full bio like I did back in the day either.
IDK...I just found it odd or off that there were that many views on the post, then I looked at Robyn's post from yesterday and it is the same way so it must be just a bored O-town board.
Well, cats out of the bag now.....but hopefully it all works out
Do people on here know your H's family directly?
This is not about me, but just to clear the air in case people are emailing behind the scenes or something - I and DH have not said anything to anyone and certainly did not pass this along to the ILs, and Jess knows that. So there you have it. lol.
I'm sorry again about the whole situation, Jess. I can imagine how much you guys were looking forward to brighter days and a fresh start.
Wow, I'm glad I couldn't figure out how to update my siggy picture and just deleted it entirely. So, if you don't mind saying, whose picture was "featured"???
Maybe people are REALLY excited to share who their OBs are
Also, FTR, I never, for one second, thought SL had told.
I can only think of one loose connection to H's family, but who knows who all reads these posts.
Oh, let's just out me on this. It was most likely me. Jess's husband's grandma is my grandma's best friend - has been since before I was born. I didn't think about it, and mentioned he'd had a job interview - and it apparently blew up from there. I don't remember telling her they were moving - but who knows, as I was chasing a toddler and trying to keep a puppy from peeing on my grandma's rug at the time. It's no excuse - just one of the 85 things that were going on at that point in time, and I really, truly don't remember.
So - for the record - Jess - I am sorry. Mike, I am sorry. Very, very truly sorry - I know better than anyone how difficult family can be when they find out something you'd like to have in the bag before you share it, and I hate that I was the one who put you in that situation. Please accept my VERY sincere apology.
As to all the views on the other post - I just read, so you still have about 450 other creepers. Sorry (but that one's not my fault.)
Make that like...700...I was going on the # mentioned in this post, and just saw the other one's count.
T, I wasn't trying to "call you out." I hadn't mentioned to anyone else I thought it might have been you (which I only suspected because of the way it came up -- through your mom/grandma). I posted on the board, in addition to messaging you privately, to cover my bases since there are clearly lots of people other than the posting regulars reading this stuff. Plus, you said you didn't think you'd mentioned anything, so I wanted whoever else it might have been to bring the gossiping to a stop. I wasn't intending to create drama.
I learned a valuable lesson in internet privacy...as well as not getting my hopes up (both things I should have learned before). I never imagined it would come up in anyone's conversations with their family and then have it spread to my family and I thought I'd asked to keep it private (on a public forum, which was dumb) since my ILs didn't know. I wasn't worried about them finding out through the grapevine and, honestly, I did think we would have told them by now, but things kept getting held up with communication with the company.
Not sure what we'll say to them, but we haven't spoken to them yet, so if you could please not mention anything more to your mom/grandma, that would be great. At least until we get a chance to clear the air with my ILs. I'm sure they're going to feel a bit left out/like we weren't being honest with them and I'd rather not compound that by having more information get to them before we have a chance to sit down and discuss it all.
