Ironically, Brahmin was most famous for bringing down hippy in DiaperDustgate. It takes a liar to catch a liar. darthnbjenni, I knew something was up when you told her to sell cod pitchers at the end there.
So, interestingly, I know hippy in real life. It is..... Interesting. We are not good friends, to say the least. She is one of those sad people who doesn't really have friends in real life because of her tendency to exaggerate/lie, so when she lost face in her online world it was a major blow.
She basically never leaves her house.
OOH very interesting! I would definitely be interested in hearing more. How do you know her? I am only curious about that since you are not local to her.

We moved from Mn to oh a year ago. I was in the same ap circle as her. But didn't know her well until diaper dust gate. Then her friend (eloymn or something like that was her screen name) helped her get caught up on orders and stuff on her promise to quit. She didn't quit and got behind again, and then things completely imploded. They are no longer friends. Hippy lost basically all her Internet board friends. She does have really serious back problems, cant drive due to them, and is pretty much home bound and lives vicariously through Internet crap. She is also very illness focused and she and her kids constantly have eleventy billion problems, half of which have to be made up/imagined by her. It is one drama/keep me in your prayers/please help I need a ride to the er after another on Facebook. It is honestly sad, and I don't begrudge her having fun on message boards as an outlet. I bet you anything she is actively involved somewhere out there on the internets, but I have I idea if she is still on the bump or gbcn, I have seen nothing to indicate it. I am just fb friends with her.

Do you know anything about the issue her daughter had with lead that she was trying to treat with breastmilk or something? Did everything come out OK with that? She sounds so needy, needier than she ever showed online and she was NEEDY AS HELL on TB.
Even though I have been nesting since cough 2006 cough I feel like I have no clue what goes on in the underbelly of the knot/nest/bump.
Basically she sold a product for cloth diapers called Diaper Dust on Etsy. A bunch of us ordered, and she got like, 6 months behind on orders. Let me say...this is baking soda with essential oil added. Yes, I was dumb to order this. She took everyones money and then kept putting them off time after time after time. This was 2008. And some other stuff, like she kept promising to send out other stuff to people and they never got it. Thieves Oil fits in there somehow too, which was hilarious. She was called out on the EFF board on TB.

Miss Phryne Fisher they lived in this old old old duplex (typical city house converted into duplex, it wasn't nasty or anything, just an old house). Her daughter had high lead, and their landlord basically wouldn't do the cleanup stuff in a timely manner as required by law. They have 30 days to mitigate, I think, and the landlord didn't do it, so they moved to a new rental. That part was not actually that dramatic, although hippy blew it up into this whole huge dramatic thing. Then the treatment stuff, that part I did not believe most of what came out of her mouth. Her daughter is fine now though, they got her lead down and all is normal.
She is needy as hell. She has driven off most of the people who have attempted to be friends with her in real life. When she had her last back surgery she was trying to recruit people to watch her daughter, who was two, for full time care, for free. Like she was trying to line up one person each day of the week, for two months straight. Omglolyahright. Just stupid crap like that. It would drive me completely batty if I was around her Irl, but from fb it is just amusing and sad.
I don't remember the details of diaper dust gate, but hippy sold it on eBay, it was basically EO scented baking soda to sprinkle on your Cd laundry to make it smell better. People on the bump loved it, I always thought it was moronic and that they could sprinkle EO on their own damn diapers for a lot less money. Anyway everyone n TB bought it, and she never shipped it. I don't know the details of what went down, but I think Brahmin tracked down info about hippy, like that her husband was an ex convict (which was true) and it all blew up.

Sorry, etsy not ebay.
Her husband is dumb as a brick and his crime was something like driving the getaway car on a bank robbery. He would be the worst criminal ever and I am not shocked that he got caught. This is all just vague recollections of the info I read on TB, I am not sharing any personal info from hippy, btw.
You have obviously never heard of the freebleeders, huh?
Most natural way to have your period. No cups, no tampons, no pads, just sit on a towel for a week. Kind of like the Red Tent sitting on hay thing. Perfectly normal and pleasant to those who live modern lives.
Oh come on. Tell me this isn't a real thing. I'm too askeered to Google.
It is real. Back in my LiveJournal days, it was big on BoojuMooju.

The fuck? I don't even know what this means! Freebleeding and boojumooju? LOUD NOISES.
Booju Mooju means Boobjuice or Formula (Moo Juice). It started as kind of a debate board. I think it is either now private or most have moved to BoojuNewju. Until about 3 minutes ago I hadn't gone there since WAY before having my kids, like 2006.
Reusable cloth pads or even pee/poop towels don't bother me. I just know is never be able to keep up with the laundry.
When I cloth diapered DS, I used the cloth wipes for myself too (pee and poop) since I was obviously doing all the cloth diaper laundry and had all the cloth wipes. As soon as we quit cloth diapers (bc those things suck y'all) we quit family cloth. And by we, I mean me, since DH absolutely drew the line at family cloth.
Busted! I actually just use my kid's bum genius diapers! Just need to be careful of the snaps
I use cloth pads.
But huh? BG diapers as pads? Aren't they bulky?
I was joking, although I bet the liners would work.
But I got the impression that Hellfreezesovertour's H was suggesting she sit on an old hand towel, not using legit cloth pads. If she couldn't spend $0.50 more on mustard, I doubt he'd be down with buying cloth pads (he wasn't even cool with buying more tampons). **if this is even true**
I use cloth pads every once in a while. Other liners do very bad things to my lady parts. :/
Hippy also collected money on a few occasions for people and was very shady about how it was handed to the recipient. One instance it wasn't even turned over.

Do you just not appreciate the efficiency of having a liner that also functions as a hair removal system?
So yeah, WHY is the sticky side so sticky?! But no, I have some sort of skin reaction to a lot of liners. And now you know more about me than you ever wanted to know.
Anyone know if the Mean Mommies (MeMo) off-board is still going? I always figured that one had a high probability of imploding on itself, a la the WW migration to EZ Boards.
We're still around - several ladies in this thread are on it. That's where BB's lies began unraveling, and the smoking gun (shopping 2 days after an "emergency c/s" and fake 3rd child) picture was outed. She IS a real person, some women have actually met her. I just don't get her compulsive need to lie and create false personas. Like, if she signed up under her regular name, apologized for being a nutso in the past, dude, go ahead and post.
I'm glad you asked this vanilla--I've been wondering about MeMo for awhile now. I was a member back in the day.

A few people were talking about MeMo on Facebook the other day, so it must still be active. I never made the move. I figured it would implode on itself within a couple of months.
