I still don't understand the need for a map? Like the poster really thought His can't grasp the concept of us all living throughout the country without it? LOL
I think it was just a visualization. You know, like how people have those maps where they put a pin in where they've been. You, the map user, know where you've been, but the visualization is cool.
I can't grasp why you feel the need to imply the OP was stupid. And, obviously, there were posters who thought the idea was a good one or else no one would have participated.
Well if multiple people participated then it couldn't possibly have been a stupid thing to do...
GTFO that someone posting their travel destinations for themselves on a map is the same as people identifying their exact locations to thousands of Internet strangers, when they also have photos of their families, details about their jobs etc posted here AND there has been multiple threads about FB suggesting connections etc.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

...and now in your eyes I'm the stupid one. Shocker!
You seem to be pretty invested in this for someone who only registered last month.
I'm going to air a real grievance: the fanwhitegirling over Corey Booker irritates the everloving shit out of me.
I used to fangirl over him, and I'm so glad you set me straight. Seriously. I never followed Newark's politics terribly closely and he always appeared in nice stories on the news, so I liked him. But after you spoke up (about a month ago I think) I dug deeper, as I should have long ago, and lost my crush quickly.
So, I've met Johnny and Connie. I had no idea their background. I just had a friend in college who was best friends with John's son, so I got invited to a concert and then backstage while they ate white Castle.
At 5'6" I was by far the shortest in the room. (Friend was 6'9"). And it was a low ceiling room.
LHC went full on crazy when she left. I'm still convinced she is the one who posted where I work in that one thread.
* I no longer work there and that's the only reason I brought it up again*
Yup. When she finally left that nutter lost her mind and said I implied that she was lying about her mom having cancer, or something? And that she only came back under an AE because she needed support because of her mom's cancer, but was super mean to a widow under the AE and didn't mention moms cancer? So that argument didn't hold weight. I thought the whole thing was gross.
Like... one day he just noticed that she was black and was all whoa?
Honestly that seems too ridiculous to be believed. If this was coming directly from Oprah herself I'd believe it obviously, but it's an unauthorized biography of her so I'm going to take it with a grain of salt. No one who dates interracially could possibly be surprised at something like that, right? I mean, duh, what were you expecting? :/
Oh I believe it. I swear some people had a Beyonce at the Super Bowl epiphany with me this year. They were like OMG she is actually black. I mean I have no idea who or what they thought I was before. I have been rocking natural hair since before it was in fashion and people have always called me a militant black chic. But they seriously seemed surprised.

Well, this thread is exactly the tonic I needed, so thank you all.
Of course, I wish I had been here because now all the conversations are over. lol
A lot of this was about people and things that happened before my time, but I was nodding along like I was a part it. lol Man though...LHC photoshopping her pics and then still going to a GTG? Damnnn.

I used to too, but what really put the nail in the coffin was when someone (05heel? or cville ?) suggested that he collected Precious Moments from his auntie.
Now the man could singlehandedly end global warming, and I'd be like, "but the Precious Moments."

That was me.
But 05heel noted that he enjoys post coital nose boops.

I keep coming back to this and laughing. Then they all kept the secret. Or at least kept it off board.
It's all so weird. Why go through all the trouble of altering your pics, if you're just going to show up in person and invalidate them?
But I don't get the altering of the pics in the first place. To try to make herself look slightly less average than she did before? If I were going to care about what people thought of me in pics, I think I'd go all out with the photoshop, or something. lol

I don't know. LHC was a raging bitch but I don't like the idea of a board that accepted people coming back from G2G's and talking about how fat someone is or how awful their hair was. Like, we are better than that right?
How much photoshopping could she have "really" done?
Add that to her pretty mean fat shaming of a reg here...that's why people are amused and talking about this. She held herself out as one thing and was pretty awful.

It's funny. I won't be shamed!
No, I get why people are commenting on it now.
I just was speaking to the comments about people not running back to the board and announcing that LHC was a size 12 instead of a 6.

I agree about the body shaming, but at the same time, there are PLENTY of people who have never posted a real photo of themselves here. (I'm also assuming Heels is not John Tesh.) I'd be hard pressed to think of a poster who has used even half the amount of selfies LHC did. That's the factor that makes it so ridiculous in the first place. Use a flattering photo. Use a photo of your bomb-ass 18-year-old self. Use a picture of Marge Simpson. Use a picture of your cat. There is no rule, and nor was there even a social norm around here, that you have to keep posting new selfies, in your signature no less.

Girl, whut? Am I losing my mind? Who is we in this scenario above? Did you not try and shame a sweet and loving dying woman earlier this year, when all she ever did was share stories about her life, and pray for ML each and every Christmas?
So, very uncomfortable. The foolishness knows no bounds.
Nope, you are not losing your mind.
And the whole widow thing :/ People stay messy and the internet never forgets.

Oh don't get me wrong here. I am laughing HARD at this.
I do wonder just how much photoshopping was done. Only because I am dying of curiosity.
If you go back to her old OOTD posts it's pretty obvious she was manipulating the images. She was shrinking the picture from the horizontal instead of the diagonal. I'm guessing the Photoshop got busted out for her artistic signature shots.
I thought it was the pegas chick or was she doing it as well?
It wasn't just me.
And I never said she was lying about having cancer. I also apologized profusely for insinuating that I, and others, thought her stories didn't add up- I'm still sorry about it.
I still think it wouldn't be ok to come back and call people fat after a G2G.
