I was wondering the other night what happened to the nestie that was "Hoculi" but I think her name was something different before that.
I always am curious by the women who seem so strong on GBCN and then post about being in horrible marriages, but won't leave. And they seem to be ok with the continuing pattern of abuse (not necessarily physical).

My burning question is how I've managed to consistently be on this message board (The Knot/The Nest/GBCN) for nearly a DECADE now. That is nuts. I was asking myself the other day, am I still going to be reading GBCN at the age of 45?
My recent questions: How is AnKa doing? Is she still working PT? And where in the world did SarahLindsay go? Did she decide to have kid #2?
I always wonder who is telling the biggest lies on here. I know there have been some high-profile cases of people not being who they say they are, and I always wonder how widespread this is.
I honestly have more burning questions for ML posters than MM posters, lol.
The things I am curious about always come back to people who post about marital issues/unhappiness in their relationships. I want to know if it was always like that, if there were warning signs, if the feelings just faded, has it gotten better, and what "better" actually looks like. I think a lot of my curiosity stems from a fear of finding myself in a similar position down the road. The people who say nothing really changed but they fell out of love? Yeah, they scare the hell out of me.
Since people mentioned nesties and their not-so-great marriages, I wonder about the same people. I guess things always sound worse when they are typed out, but sometimes I wonder just how many people really have completely jacked up marriages and just never say anything. It's odd to see someone be all puppies and rainbows about their life and marriage and then suddenly say they are getting a divorce.

I really want to know more about vs apartment - layout, space, general location, etc. This has less to do with v and more to do with my fascination with NYC real estate.

Back when I lurked on TN, there was a poster who posted about her sociopathic SS who she was afraid would harm her soon to be born daughter. She was trying to figure out whether and how to get out of her marriage to protect herself and her baby. I was genuinely scared for her. I wonder what happened to her.
I always wonder what the catty/snarky posters (not just on MM) are like IRL
I'm guessing they are nicer IRL because I know there are some posters who, to me, are real a$$holes on here but they meet a lot of people outside of this board and they seem to like them.
I often wonder how many people on here lie about their situations. I've also wondering if a particular reg poster was the AE who posted about her spending problem. I like her on here, but wow she buys a lot of stuff. Since I'm getting them out--I also wonder how some people have so much time to post on here.
Mine: I would like to know what volenti looks like. I don't know why.
It's probably because she always went on and on about looking like a troll, and people who met her always went on and on about how cute she way. That certainly left me wondering, anyway.
I wonder a little about how truthful people are about their lives.
I also wonder how people dare and have time to post so much from work. Not everyone uses a smart phone, and I'm shocked anyone is comfortable accessing this site, let alone posting, from the office. And with regard to time, I am especially curious about the people who are very high earners, because I (perhaps mistakenly) associate high pay with being very busy. And I'm curious about the people who manage lots of other people, too.
I wonder what we'd all do with our time if we weren't here, reading and posting.
I always wonder which posters/lurkers are saving personal information that posters reveal here (real names, hometowns, photos, etc.).
People back on the Knot/Nest used to pull out old photos and posts from people they didn't like all the time, and willingly admitted that they had tons of files saved on their computer with this info just so they could somehow use it against them later (either making them look stupid on the boards, or actually trying to find them IRL). Creepy.

I've never met her :-( but I've seen a pic and she is NOT a troll.
