My very first memory ever was that ProfessorArtNerd and OBG were super nice to me because I made fun of Thomas Kincaide in a post.
Then, like a week later, someone called Stumpy's work and put up all these pictures of her from her job's website and her real name. SO I NEVER POSTED MY FACE, NAME, LOCATION, OR KIDS' NAMES EVER EVER AGAIN.

I answered a question with the smatass answer of "pubes" and someone told me that I never contribute anything to the boards and I was all 'Um this is my first post so, yeah'. I replied saying I didn't see the sign up sheet and that next time I'd bring the paper products. Then someone else told me I was cheap.
I think my first post I got mildly flamed by Luvvy and Dot&Buzz over a dream someone's H had. It was someone's H and he was spending a lot of time with another woman. I guess he was talking in his sleep and he said "I love you, <woman's name>" I said I'd be pissed and very suspicious. They told me I must have doubts in my own marriage because it was just a dream, blah, blah, blah. Hahahahaha. Good times.
I was on TB for a couple of years before that but took a year break from the boards and came to TN after that.
I cut my teeth as a bride on my knot local boards.
After I got married, I spent a lot of time on the Whats Cooking boards, lol. Not much to remember there!!
I was posting on CEP as MissusBee by 2009. I don't remember the early posts but I do remember my first flaming which was maybe a year or two later. heyjude flamed me because I had a pet turtle that I thought was dead, so I was scared and left it until H got home and could handle it. Turns out the turtle was alive with a minor injury and I was a seriously irresponsible pet owner. heh.

I remember posting something about how I didn't like eating lunch alone and IMMM started a new post entitled, "If you can't eat alone you're retarded." Lol! I think that was my first week.
I also remember various bitchery from 2006mama, Stagedva consulting on Glee, amluvsjm proudly declaring her disdain for feminism, and stumpy posting photos that made her otherwise lovely child look like one of the children of the corn.
And I remember everyone mixing up cville and me, and ltd being SO NICE (or possibly sarcastic but I choose to think it was nice) when I posted about really liking a shitty wine.
One of the first days I stumbled over here involved some post (no idea who) who was trying to prove that her son's eye exam involved a picture of a confederate flag.
When I first joined at the nest, I lurked on AFB/CN. The big story at the time was Star and the mechanic's bracelet. That's the first knot drama I remember.
I honestly don't think I've ever been flamed, except for after I'd been around about a year and IMMM told me that wearing open toed shoes to work was inherently unprofessional and clearly I was a lame ass fake lawyer.
I guess if I wasn't so high on myself I'd have felt flamed by it, but instead I felt like she was stupid and narrow-minded.
I lurked on TK while wedding planning, but I started posting on BOTB and migrated over to lurking on ML. I just couldn't handle BOTB, too many crazy hormonal women in one place. I didn't post a lot, but the drama kept me very entertained while I was at my boring job! I think the first ML memory was someone knowing the sex of RachMatt's baby. lol

Here was another good flaming. I had a Memorial Day BBQ with family and said "we have everything! No need to bring stuff!" And H's two aunts brought, I swear to god, 12 dishes between them that required the use of my packed fridge and oven and didn't go with my menu at all. And so I posted, "what the fuck is their problem" and every asshole on the board was like, "YOU ARE AN UNGRATEFUL BRAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE AUNTS AND OVENS."
And I remember thinking, I'm pretty sure I'm being hazed.

I only got flamed once, that I can remember. It was right after I got divorced and Mod said "well, you should have known, he wears a shirt that says 'get baked every morning'" (there was a pic in my bio with him wearing a pillsbury doughboy shirt that said that)
I cried. LOL. But of course, she was fucking right. I'd never even date anyone now who would wear such a ridiculous shirt. Ah, youth.
I was in the group that was kicked off the Knot when The Nest formed.
Anyone remember SewDeb? I wonder what happened to her.
The first event I remember is the night ArcherGirl's husband died. But I had already been on TN quite a while by then.
I remember that. So sad. Is she still around?
I was on The Knot over 10 years ago. Tears of Joy packets were all the rage. Once chick had burros carrying mexican beer around at her cocktail reception. I thought that was amazing! I think I booked all my vendors based on reviews from The Knot. I don't really recall any drama, but certain posters were more memorable than others.
When did TN start? I think I started posting on ML right after DH and I got engaged, because I started on TK and was like, "these bitches are straight up crazy". And that would have been in 2005?
