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.
I don't think she was pretending to be Alyssa Milano it's just that she had no info on her page linking to her real life

I guess I'm like puddleofgrace in the "don't want to be an asshole; don't want to be a dummy" camp. I'll admit I'm pretty gullible, but this doesn't ring fake to me. I DO get a drama vibe. We are her journal. The way she writes about her life reminds me of how I used to write about mine when I kept a journal, complete with the analyzing of my romantic relationships. I don't know, though.
Totally unrelated to that, I don't recall a fake Alyssa Milano FB page. I do know she was always honest that the picture she used of Alyssa Milano on the Nest wasn't her. Just that people had always said she looked like her.

I came home from work, signed onto GBCN, saw a 20 page MB thread and giddily thought, "oh happy happy joy joy, it's finally happened!" I've been waiting for this. Thank you, ML.
Help Nugget and ADVANCED MATERNAL AGE types like myself who can't remember.
I don't remember if Alyssa Milano was her FB pic (at first) or her avatar on the nest. It was around the time that there had been a lot of outings of personal info. So I think she had her fb page as the pic, and people called it shady that she wouldn't post a real pic but be friends with other people who were not hiding their identity. She never claimed to be Alyssa Milano. Lol
I make no claims of 100% accuracy on my memory recall.
Wait, MB showed up one day and said she'd always been around? lol
See, I thought I did remember her from back in the day, as a night poster. Maybe I was fooled by her instant chumminess with everyone. That usually makes me suspicious but I could have sworn she was an old regular.

This is what I remember too
I'm not saying that I am definitely right, I could be wrong, but I worked nights back then, at the world's most boring job, so I was always on at night. No recollection whatsoever.

Will someone PLEASE clarify the Alyssa Milano shit please?
The thread Angela linked was from 2010, right? So, do we know when she started posting, or when she arrived and said she'd been around?
Fine, I'll be the creep. I searched on the nest to see when she joined, she joined the Bump/the nest in 2005.

This was when I was a frequent night poster too. I don't remember her saying she had always been around, I do think she fit right in though. Anyone who was always half drunk fit in great those days. And this is why my memories are so fuzzy and I don't quite trust them. Lol

The most shocking this in this post is that nuggetbrain was the one who called her DH noodle. I would have never in a million years remembered or guessed that that was you!

I've been too busy being a harlot, but yeah, I"m also an asshole. I dont know what's true and what's not, but SOMETHING ain't right here and I'm not buying what she's selling.
Her intro post from Dec 2008! That's one heck of a commitment if she's a big fat phony!
See what she says in there makes sense with what I thought - she joined in '05 and probably lurked for a long time on ML (it was the busiest board then, too) and then started posting in 08/09, but knew so much from the 3 years of lurking (or posting under another name - potato/potatoe; tomato/tomatoe).
I certainly don't think she's been catfishing for the last six years or anything. I just ... wonder if she makes some things up sometimes. To be interesting or get sympathy or something she's lacking. She did just split recently with her h, right? Maybe she just thought she'd post something to get some attention.
Yes, this is kind of what I think is going on. Like ottermama, who was definitely real, but just made shit up or highly embellished things.

I am very sorry MB.
ETA: guilty of not reading first. I ASSumed it was a long post of hair pats for a known poster.
So... I'll be made a fool perhaps. Losing my pregnancy affected me to my core and i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. But I definitely see where the flags are coming from.
Granted, I haven't been here long, but I got a very immature vibe from her. The Spanx sex, calling the guy "the boy," the blowjob stretch mark, telling him about the pregnancy at an event that he was working, the weird "he's excited, now he's not, wait, now he is, but we're not talking about it because I'm just going with it" thing...it all came across very high schoolish. Just my newb two cents.
I feel like that sounded colder than I intended. I just hope she finds whatever it is she's looking for.

Chesh is good people and I don't believe her friendship with mb has been one-sided.
They've been there for each other through a lot and I don't think it's surprising or out of the ordinary that she would defend her friend.
That is not to say, of course, that it's not possible that mb couldn't still be a catfish. After all, there were people who would count jlm among their friends.
