Thank you for all of your support, encouragement, laughs, and friendships over the past 2 1/2 years. It really means a lot to me.
Thank you for understanding! Amanda"
I don't follow the blog religiously. Did I miss something?
Yeah, I've been following the threads about her blog on Get Off My Internets. I don't understand all the back and forth there. I will be sad to not see their progress on the house. I'm not sure why she couldn't handle some of the criticism--in my opinion, it would have been better to just ignore those threads rather than engage in them.
I suppose there was some threat, or she realised her address would be out there and got freaked out? Once a blogger buys a house their addresses are pretty easy to get, even YHL who live in a county without GIS gave it away when they bought a new house.
Oh man, I really liked her blog. I loved seeing their progress. I don't think she is copying YHL though. Given all of the discussion on how unoriginal YHL is, I think she's doing things to her house that just happen to be popular.
WOW - I wondered what was going on....now I know. This is the chance you take, blogging and oversharring with the internet. I wish them much luck in their reno......
She created a fake username to defend her blog on that site and then got caught. HAHAHAAHAHA.
Apparently, she used the same fake username (NatS2125) on GOMI that she used on the Nest to get blog hits! Ouch, this is getting more embarrassing for her. She should have just ignored everything.

I never followed her blog, so I didn't have much of an opinion on it before...but this is just SO embarassing. I can't believe she was starting threads just to promote her blog and to put down YHL.
Wow, this is all crazy. I read her FB message in my feed the other day, and I'm just now looking at some of these links about it. On the one hand, I feel bad for her a bit- she has got a serious torch under her and well, we're ALL human and we make mistakes. On the other hand though, wow- she had some serious balls posting on The Nest, of all places. Talking about YHL and "promoting" Her blog unde a fake username. It kinda creeps me out- I mean, it really proves that you just don't know what type of person can make up an identity and fool people. It's sad for her though, what a big regret.
Wow I went and read some of those old Nest posts, and now that its all pit in the open she comes off as totally crazy. I slowed down following her blog when they moved to the bigger house, but all this is just craziness. I know people make mistakes, but crating an alias and pretending to be a regular poster championing your blog in secret is just super strange.

Also, it's a little sad they felt the need to do this, but I did remove her from my Reader a few weeks ago. She seemed to have too much filler and the remodel was really disorganized. I know she wrote a post about having to do some things before others, but some of the projects they chose didn't make sense.
