I was friendly with and hung out with StPete quite a bit. She was lovable and batshit in a harmless way (this isn't an insult). I remember one time she was visiting DC in the winter and I lent her one of my coats. When I got it back there were a pair of Spanx in the pocket. I had no idea what protocol is for this kind of thing so I never told her or returned them. Anyways, StPete if you're reading this I'm sure you'll appreciate the humor in this. I still have them if you want them back
Ha, I love this story and I love you!
I miss people. And wonder about them from time to time. I still check in here every few days for a few minutes. I can’t quit you, ML.
I spare my sympathy for the posters who were attacked without cause. Booby does not fall into that category. Because had the whole stabby stab shit come out after it was widely acknowledged by the board that booby was a racist piece of shit, nobody would have said boo. It was only because booby was a beloved that it was a big deal. Not that gypsy wasn't her own special piece of work. But, really. it was clearly not a real threat, unlike the shit that booby pulled that was real.
I've been reading HIH because I hate myself, and man oh man alive does she like to play the martyr card over there. I don't even know what thread I was looking at yesterday but the embarrassment I felt over her posts actually made me close the tab.
I tried to start this convo a few pages back and was largely ignored. I think she’s even liked a few posts in this thread.
She manages to skate by somehow. But as she told me, if you have a problem with her you need to just block her, duh.
I noticed the comment earlier in this thread, but didn't have much to say. She doesn't care when called on it, and continues to post. Very contrary has also started posting again.

Hold up, so you just kept another woman's underwear? For how long??
I think it is weird that FarmVille still posts over here after joining there with a username that seemed to be an FU to this board.

She always seemed to me as super insecure, follow the crowd, please like me type of person that I sort of felt bad for at first. She can’t be that clueless though with her new sn. I tried reading the other board and out seemed like high school. Everyone is fawning over someone who has a ton of expensive bags. It was funny and sad at the same time.
I admit I always idly wondered if Tamb would leave her husband for a woman so the divorce is mildly interesting.
Their relationship was so odd. I remember how she said they lived together for many months before marriage and shared a bed but didn’t sleep together until they were married? She acted throughly repulsed by him unless she wanted to have a girl. He seemed like a slacker but it seemed like he had always been like that and was making an effort to get a better job and work out. He also seemed pretty hands on with the kids.
I mean who knows and the toe nail thing was gross but she talked so much on here I felt like if there were other major issues she would have just said. In detail.

I’ve never been over to HIH. Is it easy to figure out who old GBCN posters are?
And yes, I agree just spill the beans of who is friendly with whom. I hate that vague shit. Either say it all or keep your trap shut. I’m not Tamb, I can’t sit on the internet all day.

No. I tried and it is not. Only ones I think are publicly “known” are ripper is booby, soup is miso, truckerhat is FarmVille, and Michael Scott is Michael Scott.

For as much time as Tamb spent here and as popular a poster as she was (her threads instantly got like 12 million responses) I am surprised no one here keeps up with her.

Can someone remind me of the Miso story? I generally don't care for people who are "hyped" and I feel like she was in that boat. She could do no wrong. So what happened?

I think it was that she’s still friends with Booby IRL? I don’t know how that came out but I remember her going hard in the paint about how unfair it was that someone called her employer.

I always felt like a lot of the people who liked her liked her not for what she brought to the threads, but how she made them feel about themselves. I feel like she was kind of a pet in a way. Like, poor sweet Tamb, her life is terrible and she clearly has issues, lets make her feel good for posting stupid selfies.

I think Miso left after Farmer's kid's stolen coat drama. But yes, Miso could get away with anything. She has said some shit that other posters would never get away with.
I always thought she was so flippant.
ETA: I'm totally wrong. I remember now. When Farmer had her racist trucker hat incident people started asking where Miso was to stand up for her friend. And then started the posts of "Well, I always hated her anyway. She's a shithead". And she just never came back. I still think she was always very flippant though. LOL
ETA2: I'm wrong again it was Farmer's cowboy and indians racist behavior. I'm not sure why I'm still posting. I can't remember shit.
I thought there was a long thread in which miso was called out for sort of being wishy-washy about racism/to problematic posters she was friendly with IRL, and she just kind of ghosted.

It's funny because I never saw her that way. I had no relationship with her at all, but I never realized people didn't like her and I thought she seemed normal? IDK. I mean she posted a ton but beyond that she just seemed like a mom of small kids who didn't really connect with her H. I never picked up on favoritism with her kids or that she had a terrible marriage or whatever. And I missed whatever was awful about her life I guess.
It's always interesting to me when the popular posters (like miso) have something happen and everyone turns on them and swears they never liked them to begin with. Makes me wonder if anyone here likes anyone, lol. If nobody likes these people why do their posts get so many responses and so much sucking up?

No I think Gypsy was talking about stabbing Toledo. Whether that position deserves sympathy, I don’t know.
I think you’re right. I bet jigsy is thinking of Booby in regards to this situation because the whole thing started because jezebel outted gypsy as an infamous booby troll. I think.

...what? How could you NOT? She blatantly said she favored her younger daughter. And she was incredibly plain about how much her H repulsed her. Like, no one is implying things here.

I think it was that but also people had gone back and reread the Booby drama and commented how she stuck up for Booby.

It is interesting. I think a lot of it is that when a poster is super popular, a newer poster or less popular poster isn’t going to stand up to them because they will be torn apart much of the time.

Miso and Farmer only cared about racism when it was directed at Asians. I remember how hurt Farmer was when girls in a car next to her were pulling their eyes sideways to mock her. She was absolutely right to be upset and what the girls did was horrible, but then she was shocked that people called her out for the trucker hats and the cowboys thing. No empathy or understanding.

I didn't pick up on the favoritism either. I just kind of assumed it was the normal "whatever kid is causing me the least amount of trouble is my favorite at the moment" and assumed once the younger one was 3 years old she'd like the older one better again. LOL And with her H, I never totally picked up on that either. With that I figured it was normal postpartum/having young kids/being super busy disinterest and need to refocus the relationship.
I don't know. I see what wildrice is saying. I didn't really realize everyone hated her until she was gone. The only thing that annoyed me was when she started claiming she had fertility issues. Until she proved herself as a racist.

This. Plus there was the admin issue that some people called Farmer out on and she tried to backpedal out of it (IIRC she yelled at her admin about staples and was mad her boss called her out). Farmer was also known to have no empathy on MM issues too. There were way too many posts about money/income where she would get lightly called out and then delete her posts. She didn't seem to understand that most Americans didn't make $40k a month and she didn't understand that her crying about her income loss when her husband stopped working did not make her relatable. I just saw a post about her student loans are "only" $45k and her "high-interest debt" is her mortgage at 3.75%.
