Old-time D&R nesties...

[sailorgray]

How did I not know that HollyLuv has a show on A&E? How exciting! She was always so kind.

[auroraloo]

really? what is it called?

[ssmjlm]

That’s actually her second show. They had one on DIY (never saw it), but I guess it didn’t get picked up for another season.

I always wondered what happened to Tarheels. Last time she posted it was some sort of weird mid life crisis run on and it was so unlike her previous posts.

Wasn’t she living in a glammed out dorm room being cryptic about getting a divorce or something?

Yeah she apparently decided to go to law school and I'm pretty sure it was somewhere in DC, so probably GWU.  And she was like "DH doesn't get why I need to do this" and I was thinking "well for the past X years you've been talking about supporting his military career and then do a 180, I would be confused to."  But it was like she wanted us to forget all of the personal info she had ever posted.



And in general I'll never understand posters that are like "OMG I shared too much personal info, please erase your minds and never speak of it again."   Umm, that's not how it works.

She was always an interesting one. I wonder if her decorating style has changed.  Her house always looked nice but leaned a little too old southern lady for my tastes.

I wonder how dairy is doing...

[pumpkin]

I knew HollyLuv had gotten a show, but didn't know what happened after that.

I remember Tarheels decorating her dorm room, but don't think we heard much after that.

And I wonder about what dairy is up to too.

[ssmjlm]

teeah22, pumpkin, from FB and insta dairy and fam all look happy and well.

[auroraloo]

I think about Dairy everytime I post here. She was/is in the same area as me and we were in the same profession.

Thanks for sharing!
This is what I get for not being on FB, lol.
Though I still miss her exchange student stories. Having been one myself, and hosted one, I enjoyed her stories.

[mrs.jacinthe]

I'm friends with tarheels on FB. She's living in DC and working as a lobbyist. Has a dog and a fiance. Seems to be really doing very well.

I’m glad to hear this - she was always so nice. She was selling a red couch once and I kept telling her I might be interested and she was like noooooo - it’s really ugly and finally posted a pic. And it was. Lol

Does anyone know what happened to booneybear? Or firechiefsbride? I think FCB had a house fire at some point.

[pinotgrig]

And as for the op, I only vaguely remember her.

And I feel so old. I moved to D&R when I moved to TN after being on TK for wedding planning. So that would have been... in 2007. Yikes.

The word "manpris" is permanently in my vocabulary thanks to dairy!

HollyLuv's name sounds familiar, but I can't remember a thing about her. Anything memorable? Is her bio still up on the old Nest? Are there even message boards still on The Nest? Went to look but it looks like all articles.

Her blog was "In The Fun Lane" I think?

How can there be a thread about the oldies without rehashing the Great Ballard Designs grab?

Me three. But I left after my divorce and now I'm back but mostly lurking as I just built a house with my new H. So not a lot of to post about since we are settling in and all my planning is done.

Anyone else remember the ceiling tiles? I primarily read the board for ideas and posted mainly on MM, so I wasn't a regular, but I remember lots of debate over the ethics of the free tiles and all sorts of posts on how they were used.

I just found those in my attic! And it brought back all of these emotions...mostly shame that I jumped on the bandwagon and took advantage.

Around 2003/2004 Ballard Designs had a code for $25 off a purchase. However, they didn’t set the system to only allow it to be used just once. So a bunch of Nesties kept ordering $25 items and just had to pay shipping. Tote bags were a hot item that night, and some people bought multiple items. Big debate over whether this was stealing and abusing a promo code vs Ballard was dumb enough to allow repeated usage. It was like the Hatfields and the MCoys that thread.....people were ripping into each other.

I do not remember this!

I used to post on D&R even though I had a tiny house and zero decorating style. 

Anyone remember Whatwedding and her wedding night story? LOL

[davescatch]

Hey girls - remember me? Sorry I have been MIA, but I had to chime in, hope everyone is doing well.

OMG ceiling tiles - lol
Ballard Designs debacle - classic
Big fork and spoon - remember that one?

All is well in my corner of the world, aka Baltimore. Life after losing my son in 2012 has been a struggle at times but I have turned a corner recently, thanks to great support groups and joining a new church.

Miss you all!
