I'm coming up for air. I have spent an inordinate amount of time on GBCN the past 24 hours, yet this is my first time clicking away (well, sorta) from that whole saga.
Also, I think I really need to meet some other GBCNers, so somebody could potentially vouch for me in the future should the pitchforks come my way. On the other hand, I am terrified of getting skinsuited.
Come on out here to NorCal! We're nice people and not creepy at all, at least ktzmoh and @juno aren't. I can't ethically vouch for myself. LOL
Lol, I'm trying to think of who could vouch for me. I've met like 2 H&F'ers IRL. Nobody on H&G. I don't think anyone here lives near me.

LOL, I was too. I met Happyappy once (I don't think she's been around since pre-GBCN!). I'm FB friends with a lot of people, and I promise that all of my pics are me. (And they get lots of likes! I don't have time to manage 78 different profiles and log in out in out in out to like and comment on my profile.)
I've only met one and she doesn't visit much anymore (ericanandy). That whole thread is crazy.
i don't want to add to that thread, so I'll ak here. Was L&L the one who said her infant nephew passed away?
Yes, I think that was L&L.
Ericanandy seems legit, she and I are FB friends.
She is legit and very nice! We are FB friends, too, and once took our kids to a farm...lol. Very sweet girl.
There have been a few things on GBCN that have really bothered me. One was JLM giving her daughter away and another was L&L nephew passing away. Here they were both lies made by the same person.
I read 70 pages and then gave up. It just kept getting longer and I was investing WAY too much time in something that in the grand scheme of my life doesn't matter a damn bit. Can't start letting internet drama create IRL drama for me.
I'm not totally blown away because I don't really know who they are. What was the story about giving a daughter away??
"JLM" got raped by her husband (whom she was divorcing). After the baby was born she said she could not connect with her because of the circumstances in which she was conceived. She gave the baby to her sister to raise and kept her toddler.

I want to say that I was prepared to vouch for emjacobs, despite having never met, because she sent me a baby blanket and what kind of catfish SENDS A HANDMADE BLANKET?!
Also, yes, I have spent a LOT of time on that thread. I'm WELL over invested in it. I stopped last night at the end when it was 128 pages so I'm in it to win it, man.
Also, in case there is concern, sierramist03 and I have met, but who would really invent my life? The most exciting thing I have going for me is that my kid pooped today.
Hmm. So I noticed emjacobs is brought up. I'm like 30 pages behind but they are questioning her. I feel squicky because she was a reg here, but hasn't been around much.....
So are you saying that you think I'm one of "them"? Nevermind I didn't see your follow up lol. Also I'm here just as much as I'm there, I don't post a ton because I'm not really in a financial place to work on anything.

I remember you were busy with work too. I had to come back and clarify what I meant because I was worried you would think I meant it in a bad way. I was more like "noooooooo I lurve her!!!!"
LOL (heart) Yeah work's been insanely busy. Lucky for me both my designer and my developer have been really slow this week getting things
I read the 1st 75 pages or so on Tuesday, but other than that I just can't. It's too much for me to keep up with, so I'm trying not to get sucked back in but still want to know, lol
And then I begin to worry that you all will think I'm a crazy one of them since I don't think anyone can vouch for me and I've been off and on with the board tending to disappear when work gets busy or my stress/anxiety issues get bad.

I can vouch for you and Juno. I'm realizing I've meet a lot of nesties IRL. I've been to a pet board GTG and a local group of us still try to GTG once a month.
A person named Devin is friends with some people on FB. She stole their entire family's pictures to create some AEs: JLM523, who had an abusive husband and was raped, made to give birth to a second child who she couldn't bond with and then gave her up to her sister. There was a LOT of BS stories that go along with it (her H rubbed a burger she wanted on his balls so she wouldn't eat it, she went through Costco and set up a fancy designer tree in under an hour, she brushes her teeth for like 2 hours per day, etc.) and people didn't call BS until after things started coming out about some of her stories being false. It was discovered in the voice thread just the other day (that thread was 2+ years old) that the YouTube account that JLM used had the name "Devin" on it now.
She was also BestGuest, who was busting JLM's chops in threads and that was all she was doing. The idea was that BestGuest was used to harass JLM so that people would defend her and she'd feel better?
Then, L&L (a poster who showed right after JLM was run off) started posting about a surprise baby, running a PR in a race that had barely just started WHILE she had an ear infection and a whole bunch of other illnesses. That's when people started calling BS and she was also run off after not long. She couldn't keep her stories straight.
Her final personality was Vaba. Really, she IS Vaba, but the stories and BS were just as far fetched. emjacobs came in because Vaba posted that her mom's friend, who was watching her dog Phoebe while Vaba lived with her mom after a divorce because her mom's landlord said they had too many dogs, gave Phoebe to a shelter and had to get her back with her mom's consent and NOT hers, but was SOOOO broke. Em set up a donation site for people to give money to help with the dog. Jermys also offered to find someone to foster the dog until Vaba found a place to live because she couldn't have the dogs at her mom's. It ended up that Vaba said she had a hotel room and was going to make the budget work so she could stay there until the apartment she had applied for opened up on the 1st. Vaba signed the message as "Devin."
Another theory that started was that Dovey was lying about a lot of stuff, but she has said she has a brain tumor in her frontal lobe and that does some wack shit to your memory, etc. so no one really knows there.
Ellie the Mod was busting out her badass mod skills and did confirm that JLM=Best Guest=L&L=Vaba.

OMG, I totally forgot I met you. (It's been a stressful week - that's my only excuse). I'll vouch for FoxInFiji - she's normal. And pretty darn awesome.

Also, while I've tagged you - how's the babyfox?
Haha no big deal. It was only once. I'm still bummed I wasn't able to come to the Berkley GTG so I could meet ktzmoh.
Baby fox (aka. sea monster as DH calls him/her) is doing good. We have our first U/S tomorrow which is exciting. I'm finally not feeling sick everyday after many weeks of nausea. I have some great vomiting at work and hiding my pregnancy from my co-workers as we were traveling stories.

Now I have to catch up as I'm on page 129.
Excellent recap.
Some additional side plots: All of the suspicions of JLM were revealed when she flaked out on ML's 2012 Secret Santa. It was revealed in The Thread that Ottermama also flaked in 2013's SS-- after setting up (and receiving) a ton of gifts on an Amazon Wishlist for her daughter. OM had plenty of other drama... but enough posters have met her IRL that they verified she (and most of her drama) are legit, just not a very nice person.
Another ML'er with unbelievable drama, notit, was called out, came in to defend herself, then EllieArroway revealed that there was another screen name that shared the same IP address as notit. Some sleuthers figured out that it was random poster named trixieflips (Ellie confirmed), and then she came in and gave a super long story about her neighbor being notit and borrowing her computer.
I think the jury's still out on whether there's any evidence that notit and JLM were created by the same person. (JLM and L&L had the same IP address, but vaba's IP was different, so somewhere along the lines Devin wised up and started masking it.)
Totally random, but why did posters give Ottermama tons of gifts on Amazon for her daughter?

Latest development (lol): the dog that ML raised money for Vaba to bust out of the shelter is still in shelter. She claimed she got her, took her to vet, found a place that allowed pets, etc. so, now there's $280 missing. They are going to call the police.
Yikes.
@dr.girlfriend I think she said she didn't have any money to get her daughter anything for Christmas. I THINK...
