ask me questions poll

Instead of typing these questions in everyone's ask me post, I thought I'd just make it a poll.

Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?

Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?

Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board?

What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?

Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB?

What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today?

Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?

Re: ask me questions poll

  • Instead of typing these questions in everyone's ask me post, I thought I'd just make it a poll.

    Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Amy  Why? Because I think it's crazy that we haven't met yet.

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)? I think a lot of people know each other IRL and text or FB instead.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? No. I love it. I love finding people here that I can hire to do stuff!  You should see the uber cute invites C did for DS' birthday!! And I can't wait for DS' one-year photo shoot with H!

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish? Hot air balloon ride (despite being afraid of heights, I will do this someday)

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB? No. Why would I care to keep in touch with them....they were douches.

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today? Losing my big brother when I was a senior in HS.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? No. If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time? YES. Freaks me out big time.

    Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?

    sarahlindsay & njh - they are hippies also, and I don't know enough hippies in real life

    oxAmy - I like her sense of humor

    October - seems normal, down to earth

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?

    Eh, everything ebbs & flows. It's been too hot. Who knows.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board?

    At times I find that mildly annoying, but really, I figure if I don't like reading about someone pimping their biz, I just move on to the next post. No big.

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?

    I don't have a bucket list but maybe I should.

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB?

    I have an ex boyfriend from college, most of my college circle of friends including him are my FB friends. I couldn't even say when the last time was we would have communicated on FB. He is a perfectly nice person, no bad blood there or anything (for heaven's sake it was in college, a thousand years ago). 

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today?

    My family life growing up.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?

    Yes, I am afraid of having my identity stolen. This has happened to my brother so I am convinced it happens to "real people" and I am next. I have a laundry list of irrational concerns/worries, so this is par for the course.

  • Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why? Most of you, I've only met a few of the ladies here since I'm pretty new to the board.

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?  Unfortunately, that seems to be the nature of a lot of the boards lately.  The Colorado board is really slow too.  I don't know why.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? Nope, doesn't bother me.  I like to give business to those I know (even if just on the board) rather than strangers.

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?  Taking a trip with my husband to Italy.

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB? High school ex's - yes, serious ex's after that - no

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today? Becoming a mother, I was very selfish before my boys.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time? No, I do worry about it.

    Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why? Hmm, I dont know! I wish Jeana lived closer, she seems fun

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)? Because we fb I think. Plus, all the kuckoos are gbcn gone, so, not much to spice it up anymore.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? No, and, I like seeing what people make/do! I'd rather give biz to someone I know, and I think a lot of girls are really talented on here.

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish? Being a mom of two

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB?one  I am, one I had to delete

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today? my parents divorce and how my mom has treated me -makes me really centered around my kid(s) and husband.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?yes, and I do think its a matter of time for everyone - with the internet and all.

  • Instead of typing these questions in everyone's ask me post, I thought I'd just make it a poll.

    Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why? I need to just come to a GTG sometime and meet everyone, but I think that Tiff is hilarious, and often says things that I am thinking but don't say..which is awesome!

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?  Eh, I've noticed it comes and goes

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? NO, I have found out about the coolest things because of this! I wish I had kids so I could have an excuse to buy the stuff! 

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?  I'm pretty big on this stuff, and most of my list consists of travel.  I'm always saving for trips, and planning stuff

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today?  My career at the awesome company I work for!  It's a part of me, and I don't know how I could ever work anywhere else honestly...

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?  No, I did have a HUGE unauth charge on my debit card while I was in Vegas once though..stressful!

  • Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?  Hmm...I've met so many of you. I might have to come back to this.

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)? I think a lot of people talk on FB or email vs. posting on the board.  It's good that friendships have formed but it just leaves the board a snoozefest.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? No, I love it when people we know pimp out their stuff.  I buy so many gifts from nesties anymore.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time? No. Kind of but I'm pretty careful. I do sometimes shop online but try to use paypal and really watch my accounts close.

    Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?

    I don't think I have met any Nesties in real life but I would like to meet Patti!  She seems so sweet and sincere!

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)? 

    ??? I don't post on here too often but I think people are just busy!!!!

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board?

     Eh...maybe!  Doesn't bother me...I'm not in Omaha so I'm not interested in what people are selling!  I can see where the local girls might enjoy buying it.

     Don't have a bucket list.

  • Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?  As far as ones I haven't ever met, probably scpteam and Haven.  Haven and I have a mutual friend in eturner and it would be fun to hang out all together sometime.  And I'd like to meet scp because I feel like we would have fun together and because I feel like a creeper for already thinking I know her.  Ha.  And HuskerHoya but that'll happen soon.  And I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.  Cracky & SB&J.  Ugh, so many!

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?  Because lots of people talk amongst themselves off of the board, and as a result I also think that many are not as willing to call each other out on stuff on the board, and/or don't divulge as much personal or flameful stuff that might otherwise liven things up.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? Not really

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?  I don't have an official bucket list....

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB? Yes.

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today?  My father's heart transplant.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?  No, and yes.

  • Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?  I was going to say you too, Sarah!  Between your blog and Jess, I feel like I "know" you already.  We should totally hang. 

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?  I agree that we all know each other too well.  While it's not dramatic as much, I still think it's super helpful and a great supportive place.  I hope it never dies.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? Nope. 

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?  Completing an Ironman.  I've already talked myself into a half Ironman next year in Boulder.

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB? I'm not on FB, but I'm not friends with any of them in real life.  None.

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today?  Studying abroad in Japan.  I still can't believe I got on a plane and went half way around the world without knowing a soul.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?  No, and yes.

  • Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why? I have to add Haven.  You seem as anal-retentive as me (believe me, from me, that is a compliment and I mean it in the nicest way possible), so I think we would get along.  But I'm slightly scared I would be intimidated by your ability to hold everything together so well - profession, family (eek! twins!), working out, etc etc.

    But really, there are a lot of you I would like to meet.

    Ha!  I'd love to meet you too.  I'm an odd mix of being insanely laid back about some things and yet, I'm wound ridiculously tight about other things.  I wouldn't be surprised of my DH has a spreadsheet stashed somewhere to keep track of it all.

    And you wouldn't be intimidated, I promise.  Come over to my house.  You'll be all, "oooooh, this is why she has time for stuff- she never cleans!" Big Smile

  • Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?  Since I don't post much I feel like a total creeper answering this!!  But I'd say SarahLindsay, because I think our personalities would be very similar...or mammarazzi or cracky or Heidi - so I could have some amazing pictures taken of our family (and I will do this sometime...budget just isnt there right now for it)...

    Why do you think our Omaha board has gotten so boring (other than past couple days)?  I think there are only so many times you can have a 'hot topic' debate, and it seems like we've hit them all in the past

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? Nope - I like hearing and seeing what everyone does 

    What item on your bucket list do you think you actually will accomplish?  Going to Mexico to lay on a beach - someday....

    Are you friends with your ex(es) on FB? Nope - although one popped up on my 'suggested friends' list and I might have gone and looked at his profile...and it made me happy of where I am today.

    What one thing in your life do you think has affected you the most and made you the way you are today?  I don't know if there is 'one thing'.  I think having extremely supportive parents helped make me the way I am the most.

    Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?  No, eh - I'll sit ignorantly with my glass half full on this one and say no.  (now watch - it'll happen this weekend...)

  • imagethornyburgs:

    Which Nestie(s) do you want to meet in person?  Why?  Jessica D (can't think if her nest name right now.  I think the way she is dealing with things is amazing.

    Do you think too many Nesties pimp their biz on this board? Nope - I like hearing and seeing what everyone does

     Have you ever had your identity stolen? If not, are you afraid it is just a matter of time?  DH is in the process of fighting things right now.
