Haha I wonder how long this would take tho since the Bee's don't seem to be that involved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807803 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 13:32:07 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2807803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I tend to fall away and come back as I have things pop up in my life that I need help with. This community got me through my anxiety with my mom, my miscarriages, and the eventual birth of my two boys. I couldn't have done it without everyone here. It is sad to see some of the old, regular posters age out, but it's also nice to see new people still feeling like they can benefit from the community aspect. Welcome back :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807791 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 13:02:52 +0000 crazydoglady 2807791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: You can request a username change! If you keep your pic the same, everyone would know who you are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807790 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 13:01:02 +0000 crazydoglady 2807790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone for being so kind. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807760 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 11:30:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2807760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn’t put two and two together or in this case three and three names together, but I noticed how familiar you were with posting. :wink: Some new members ease in, some just go!</p> <p>Glad you are out in the open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807748 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 11:12:03 +0000 Adira 2807748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: Welcome back! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807722 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 10:10:09 +0000 snowjewelz 2807722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember you! And I understand! No need to explain yourself but I'm glad you did b/c I now "know" you, haha! Congratulations! </p> <p>I actually wanted to get a new account so many times b/c I didn't realize I'd be so active here and my username is SO LAME! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807639 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 20:20:07 +0000 nana87 2807639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember you! I totally understand. Back on weddingbee, I changed my username once I got engaged bc I was embarrassed about my waiting posts 🤷‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807636 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 20:17:56 +0000 turquoisemama 2807636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I remember you from the First time newbie TTCers board. I changed my name too but only because it had identifying details that I decided I wasnt comfortable with using. That was such a helpful board for me. I miss all the TTC stuff but after you do it once and have a toddler to take care of, it’s hard to keep up. I’ve barely checked my April 2018 due date board. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807574 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 11:13:41 +0000 crazydoglady 2807574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluemasonjar: I know! I was actually about to wall you to tell you and then was like...I am just going to make this "public." And, yes, I love that we have been on two due date boards together! </p> <p>Ok...I am going to wall you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807573 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 11:04:12 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2807573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not connect the dots but makes sense since we both have 2.5 year olds that we were on the same due date board in 2015. Kind of cool that our second LO’s are due the same month as well! </p> <p>Glad you are back on HB and understand that you needed a break before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807523 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 20:49:57 +0000 raspberries 2807523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807460 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:21:57 +0000 coopsmama 2807460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah! I remember you. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807459 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:18:29 +0000 LAZB 2807459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I understand, no biggie :) and I never realize when people come back with new names unless they say something, I’m impressed you put it together @LBee: lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807455 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:10:01 +0000 DesertDreams88 2807455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: oh yay, glad to hear! Life with 2 is great for now :) (aside from LO1 and DH bring sick this past week.) My mom was here for the first 2 weeks and now DH has 3 weeks off, plus the in laws are going to keep babysitting LO1 in the mornings.</p> <p>When are you due? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807343 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 19:40:46 +0000 crazydoglady 2807343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Hey! He ended up getting a new job at a much better school and loves it! Better pay and benefits helps, too! Congrats on your daughter! What's life like with 2?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807342 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 19:35:40 +0000 crazydoglady 2807342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: You are right. I guess I said that to explain why I knew things about HB and the members (if that makes any sense) and I was embarrassed to say that I shut down an account twice because I was not dealing with life well and was being impulsive. In hindsight, I should have done that or just said I was a previous member. It just never occurred to me for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807339 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 19:29:03 +0000 LBee 2807339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I figured it out pretty quickly :wink: </p> <p>I think next time (if there is a next time) don’t claim you are a longtime lurker .... just come back and let your story (which is unique) make it easily detectable you are probably a former poster to anyone who has interacted with you. Claiming you were new / a lurker was the only real head scratcher for me. Some other posters have jumped back in and it was NBD. </p> <p>Either way, congrats on your pregnancy! Glad you are back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807338 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 19:27:56 +0000 DesertDreams88 2807338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, welcome back! I had been wondering about you and where you had gone. Whatever happened to your husband's job situation? Did he find something that suited him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807335 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 19:15:37 +0000 Madison43 2807335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I get it and it’s no big deal. Honestly if I closed my account for whatever reason, I’d probably just create a new name too bc it would be easier than trying to figure out if I could ressurect the old one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807331 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 18:59:44 +0000 crazydoglady 2807331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I never changed the details of who I am. I've never been dishonest about myself, I have just had three different accounts. I didn't have different personas or anything like that-- I've always been the middle school teacher from CA with two losses, a son, tried for nearly a year to get pregnant again and am now pregnant. I guess I could have just asked to see if they would reopen my first account, but I wasn't sure if they would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807326 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 18:51:10 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2807326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: Hm. I’m not sure why you felt you needed to act like different users each time? Yes, this is an anonymous community, but I guess I don’t understand what trying to be different people was for? It sounds like you’re in a good place now, so hopefully you’ll stick around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807320 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 18:31:23 +0000 gotkimchi 2807320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I recognize all those names so it’s nice to put it all together! I too have noticed the lack of mr. and mrs. bee and the slowness and the lack of the old big posters - I thought maybe our kids were all just aging out of this .. nice to know people are still here </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-just-be-real-here#post-2807316 Fri, 02 Mar 2018 18:12:02 +0000 MamaBear87 2807316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: i love this forum for the same reasons. I feel like everyone here is totally welcoming and ladies, and you 😊, have pitched in when I'm having a horrible day. </p> <p>No need to feel bad for fading out when you need time. We all do that </p>
