Smartone was an regular from way back when. What to say about Smartone? It's hard because so much of it was probably falsified. She had an actor husband who was sorta famous in that bit actor sort of way. Though pressed, she would never actually divulge any of his films, but she loved to be all up in celeb posts. She lived in Malibu and would post vague-ish photos of the roads surrounding her palatial palace, but never the palace itself. She had rich parents from the East Coast, but never wanted to go back. Cali for life. And she always posted in a way that made her seem like she had just finished a reallllly boozy brunch and was about to lay out on her chaise for the rest of the day, doing new-agey chants or pigeon poop facials. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
She never wanted to confirm anything when pressed and eventually peaced out when everyone decided she was a fake. Several incarnations seemed to come back, each one a little quirkier than the one before. She was wacky. FTR, always nice to me, but wacky.
Very good, snips! Still love me for sticking my neck out? lol
One of the good ones was the story about hot tubbing with Stephen Dorff. She said she had been drinking and was joking around with him. She commented that he probably thought she was nuts.

Was Smartone the one who flaked on the gtg or was that someone else

Haha, always, flex ! I still don't know that I think MB is Smarty, but I have definitely always wondered about MB. Mainly just the whole not remembering her and several other regulars not remembering her from the olden days. But, all that to say, Smarty was/is definitely kooky enough to still be here and in it for the long haul! Under what name, nobody knowssssssssss.

And to be fair, I thought SO was funny as hell. She had issues, but very funny and had a big heart.

One of my CWs once requested 2 weeks off not too long after announcing a surprise pregnancy because she claimed her OB told her she would miscarry in the next 2 weeks.
People had reasonable suspicions about her story too.
Now I wonder if there's a "how to fake a pregnancy" forum out there that promulgates this whole 2 week timeframe thing because what a weird coincidence.

I also have no recollection of her before the day she showed up saying that she had totally been there the whole time. None. That always seemed weird to me.

Oh, she totally flaked - what angelaa was referencing earlier. She did tell me via PM some pretty specific stuff about a neighboring town here in CT, so I do think her parents really were in CT (and maybe her, too?). Everything else? Who knows? We all did some sleuthing on IMDB one day and came up with bupkis. Ha!
I appreciate this. Especially after being ripped by jenny1980, @wandering et al. All I have to say is
where is @wandering? I'm wandering what she thinks of this now...
Just logging on since this am. Yeah definitely don't have time to read through all of this. I'm assuming MB has been found to be a fraud? No boyfriend, no baby? Is she really a man? Maybe over the weekend I'll have free time to do some light reading of this post
I don't think I really ripped into anyone, just said that someone's comment wasn't helpful in the situation. I still stand by my stance to err on the side of being supportive if someone seems to be going through a hard time. But you all can definitely go ahead and tell me (and the rest of us who were supportive) "told you so!" as it's obviously been warranted.

I know, right? In that old Nest thread, you and Moe both backed up my thoughts that I wasn't just totally blanking. I figured she was lurking for a long time and not posting all that much, but in here mind it all got mushed together as being a regular? I dunno, benefit of the doubt, I suppose, but it was nice to hear from you guys that my memory wasn't totally terrible.

See I have the memory of a goldfish, I'm always like "oh ok I never noticed her before".

Haha, I love that in these last pages, the stories of Smarty and MB are getting all mixed up together so that none of the post-Smarty peeps know which is which.
I don't know what to think of this particular MB stuff. I hate that ML has made me so cynical. If she needs support, I hope she gets it. Whatever support for whatever situation. Truly.
I also have no recollection of her before the day she showed up saying that she had totally been there the whole time. None. That always seemed weird to me.
Wait, MB showed up one day and said she'd always been around? lol
I remember when her dad was missing--that was like 10 years ago. This was in CT. We were all so freaked out. lol
Haha, I truly feel like 8-10 years ago, we were all just a bunch of yahoos posting on a board, not knowing what in the world we were doing. Butt pics, MySpace profile links, weirdo celeb stories, you name it, throw it up on the board and see what sticks. There were probably 2 groups of people: the ones who posted anything they wanted, regardless of truth and the people who believed them. LOL.

I am from CT and have been to Malibu. I wonder who I am? Well nobody, but I remember smartone so clearly I've been lurking way too long.
I was so happy when MB seemed so happy after leaving her husband. I will admit recent events have made me highly skeptical, but I hate thinking that yet again another person may have taken advantage of the generous and caring spirit at the core of the board.
Are we still talking about this? I have more thoughts.
Why was her doctor (erm, "doctor") doing blood draws and betas anyway? Is that normal for certain surprise pgs? I've only heard of it for IVF, etc. (I have no experience so maybe this is totally legit.)
Did MB ever post a picture of the pg tests? When everyone was chanting for her to post pictures? I think she just said "I don't have to post a picture of a digital!"
Hmmm... #overinvested
I had betas done for a pregnancy after an ultrasound that didn't look very good. My first beta was close to 100,000 and the next dropped to 93,000. I did have a miscarriage and it had been a twin pregnancy.
To address taking two weeks off for a miscarriage, I also has another miscarriage and took a week off from work. I would have scheduled the D&C if I hadn't had the miscarriage by Thursday, which I did. It was very hard emotionally.
I don't know MB well enough to speculate about whether this is all true or not, but I know pregnancy loss is so tough.

If she did indeed have a previous mc she would probably get betas & early ultrasounds.
I had a mc then got pg with DS 3 months later. I got betas & ultrasounds at 5 weeks
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PRETEND THAT ALYSSA MILANO IS YOU AND NOT EXPECT A BUNCH OF WOMEN WHO SPENT THEIR FORMULATIVE YEARS IN THE ERAS OF WHO'S THE BOSS AND CHARMED NOT TO FUCKING NOTICE THAT PICTURE IS OF ALYSSA MILANO.

This is not what happened.
Help Nugget and ADVANCED MATERNAL AGE types like myself who can't remember.

Not necessarily. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and got pregnant about 10 months later and didn't get an ultrasound before 12 weeks, no betas.
