What ever happened to...

[OrangePixyStix]

So many!

Duff, the beer/yoga queen,  though I do see her on FB and she seems happy and well (from what she shares, anyway).
Same with Louietunes or SLouie, whatever the last incarnation of her name was!
Totally missing @kduv/ ILikeSloths . Although I know she recently relocated, but I wish she would come back and give us an update!
lunabug / MyVal was always so much fun, with so many adventures and stuff going on.


I was thinking about nearmiss just the other day..... do you still keep in touch with her, MyName ?

[OrangePixyStix]

I miss a lot of former posters that went on to have kid(s), so I can understand why they are gone.  Although I still think about them quite a bit and now see all their baby pics on FB, just glad some of them didn't drop me (yet!).    

Although I do remember at one point during her first pregnancy, MissusMac said she would still be coming by for non-baby talk.... ahem, yeah, sure.  

[OrangePixyStix]

Who pissed off boofly ? Didn't she relocate as well? I wonder where she's been.

[OrangePixyStix]

And following the tags to see the "last post", most of these people haven't been back in 2-3 years. I guess I should give up hope of their return.  


I'm glad for all of YOU who are still here, though!!   We still have a great group even if we aren't as active as we were way back when.
   

I did text message noseyoats not too long ago (when I was checking in on a lot of friends I know with anxiety/depression after losing my one friend to suicide).   She says she is happy and teaching elementary school full-time now.   

[duff]

Hiiii! I'm actually still around, but don't really post a whole lot. I was thinking about this board not too long ago, and couldn't decide if it'd be weird if I randomly came back. Good thing OPS called me out! (hot)

Things are going great in my little corner of the world though! After a really rough year work-wise, I left accounting for long range financial planning (so, not a huge difference lol). I'm still at the same company, although I put some serious work into moving to OR. I didn't happen last year, but hopefully in the next few! Otherwise, I'm just doing tons of yoga, teaching a few places, mainly at a brewery by my house and the hot yoga studio I've been going to for years and years.

And lastly, another (big) reason I haven't been around...(OMG I'm scared to even post it here)...I'm not exactly BNOTB anymore. MH and I officially lost our minds about two years ago and have been TTC for six months now.    And if you all will still have me, I swear to not talk about this shit! 

That's really all I have going on...now I'm off to snoop through some of your guys' old posts to see what I've missed!

Edited because I'm an idiot and can't type on my phone.

Also, this is Duff, in case anyone is on a computer and can't see my old name.

Duuuuuude, when the tag came up with the Minerva name, I totally thought I tagged the wrong one! 

I'm SO glad you are doing great (other than work issues)!!  I miss your updates so much and glad you are doing great!  Good luck TTC, I am always happy for people when they get what they want!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Duff!

So when I'm on the app (which is a lot) some of the usernames are different and I think I saw you post in ML but I wasn't sure if you had deactivated your name and someone else picked it up.

Lots of changes for you! I'm happy that you're happy! Please stay. (hugs)

LOL! I just went back and included a note that I'm Duff. Even though it didn't wipe out my post history or anything, I wanted to "start over" when I came back. 

And thanks!  I will plan to stick around!

And not to be mean but thinking about noseyoats makes me fondly think of people who left the board in a blaze of glory. I am glad she's happy now and doing well. I forgot why she even left in the first place...

I don't think anyone pissed off Boofly... I just think a lot of people didn't really stay long once we migrated.

Ahhh, I know boofly was a bit sensitive, for some reason I thought she must have been mad about something.  Hmmm. 

Nosey had claimed she was taking a break because she was experiencing some bad stuff mentally and didn't want us to see/hear her in that way (or something along those lines). 
I thought she would eventually return, but I guess not.  She was a nanny for a while, grew out some dreadlocks, got her teaching certificate and pretty much cleaned out her FB list.
Oh well, as long as she's happy and she seems responsive when I do send her messages every so often.  She's not on my FB anymore, though she is still "on" FB, so it was a random unfriending, I think.  


Speaking of blaze of glory.... did anyone ever keep up with Stepfanie?  The one who kept going back to the cheater-boyfriend?  I think she pretty much gave us the middle finger and we were just trying to help her see that she deserved so much better.  I do hope she found happiness and respect out of whatever relationship she had going on. 

[glw]

Um, I feel bad because I don't remember most of these people
I would probably recognize them through stories or photos, but not the names. I think.

Anyway, I do know that Apples is doing well!


ETA: I just realized I've been "here" for 11 years, OMG

Granted, I haven't been on this board for a long time, but I don't remember some of the names mentioned either. Noseyoats sounds familiar, but I couldn't tell you her story if you paid me.

Luckily I get to stay caught up with you via FB
Yoga + beer = relevant to my interests

[OrangePixyStix]

Apparently my memory is not too shabby for a stoner, lol!

I have others on my FB list that I know their IRL names, but can't remember their former screen names, though.

Noseyoats was the one who had the boat (her in-laws owned)  named after her, which I thought was a great story from the nest days.
ETA: it's hard for me to forget her, since she's the only one who flew down for the Houston G2G and she stayed at my house.  It's possible this may be what cemented her place in my memory. I introduced her to kolaches and Whataburger taquitos!

I completely forgot about Stephanie. That was a train wreck.

I think she was at least planning the wedding. She's still on my Pinterest and I remember seeing a ton of wedding pins from her.

I haven't seen her in awhile, but I read this post yesterday and made plans with her for a couple weeks from now!  She is doing well.

Hi Orange (and everyone)! I was just in contact with MyName and thought I'd check in here for the first time in years! Eeek. I don't remember using nearmiss here then changing to this name but clearly it happened!

LOL.  When I saw that tag, I had to go look at the post history to make sure it was you!

YAY, glad you are doing well!  Now that I see the duchess name, I do remember you changed it over here.    
Maybe that's part of our memory-problems, since 90% of us have changed screen names at some point (I did, of course, since I had my real name before - what an idiot I was, LOL!). 

I'm glad you ladies are still making plans together!  One day I hope to get up there and meet up with you both as well, if the stars ever align in our favor!

YES!  This needs to happen!  You are welcome to stay with me any time, obviously.

OrangePixyStix, your post about suicide/depression made me think of Kelly/@mayflowers. I don't think this is the board she belonged on, but I do think it was a way/place for her to reach out for help. I wonder how she is doing.

Speaking of blaze of glory... I see pilife on my FB feed, though I kind of miss her around these parts.

Yeah I definitely do not miss pilife. She can keep her racist self outta here.

This prompted me to go back and read all what happened...that killed an hour of work lol
I had forgotten about all that.

[duff]

HO.LY. SHIT. I forgot all about racist Pi. Yuck.

True, I forgot how racist she was. I apparently have selective memory, lol. I remember it being epic, I just couldn't remember whatit was.
