I definitely agree that the use of TMI is silly at times, particularly if you are responding to a thread that is by nature in TMI-land. Using it as a warning in the thread title, though, is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855807 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:00:13 +0000 MrsStar 855807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855795 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:57:15 +0000 DigAPony 855795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WORD! I hate seeing TMI on this site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855790 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:55:28 +0000 Alivoo01 855790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! Well said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855639 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:18:39 +0000 Mrsbells 855639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I agree its okay to give a fair warning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855614 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:11:22 +0000 Caly 855614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amen! I'm personally a firm believer that nothing is too much information. Bring on the gory details... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855590 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:06:21 +0000 Pepper 855590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I am so guilty of this. I'm not offended easily or squeamish about basically anything, but I always worry about making other online people uncomfortable! Funny, because you should see/hear the conversations I have with friends IRL... Definitely no holding back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855579 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:02:38 +0000 .twist. 855579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: I'm totally not embarrassed to talk about poop, periods, penises, vaginas, or any of the ailments that go along with all those gross things. However, Before I shock the poop out of someone, I'd like to at least give them the warning to stop reading if they're feeling queasy for whatever reason! </p> <p>@TurtleDoves: I'm so offended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855565 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:59:10 +0000 regberadaisy 855565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: hahaha you're silly! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855563 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:58:44 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 855563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: weird, I love poop talk!<br /> Oh no, I said poop...I should've said TMI!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855556 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:56:29 +0000 Vegmama 855556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I kind of think that's their own problem ... That sounds way more harsh than I mean it. There's gotta be a place where we aren't embarrassed to ask questions and share our experiences, and if someone is 'grossed out', then I think they'll close the tab immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855541 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:54:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 855541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>agreed!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855528 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:52:04 +0000 regberadaisy 855528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @shopaholic: good point. Some people are grossed out by poop talk! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855523 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:51:26 +0000 prettylizy 855523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this! No more TMIs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855493 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:45:09 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 855493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: +1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855492 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:45:06 +0000 .twist. 855492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: that's what I've always thought too! It gives whoever a fair warning if they want to read on I might start talking about poop. and I don't want to shock them with my poop story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855486 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:44:30 +0000 citymouse 855486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! I say it/have said it bc I thought I should since other people did and would think I was being crazy if I didn't add that "TMI" in! Im going to stop writing it! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855481 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:43:19 +0000 shopaholic 855481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:) Sometimes I think the TMI is a fair warning to @Mr. Bee: or any other gents that may be lurking on the boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855474 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:42:30 +0000 Vegmama 855474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: EXACTLY! It goes into our culture, I'm sure ... people are taught to be 'ashamed' (that sounds dramatic) of their bodies, so I think coming here and being able to say anything feels a little crazy at first. I want to give a little TMI hug to everyone who says it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855411 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:26:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 855411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol! I think this all the time..esp when it's nothing gory! "so I got my period, sorry for the tmi" (not that exactly, but you know). I wanted to say this but wasn't sure how to not sound mean!! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855394 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:21:43 +0000 Lindsay05 855394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

I say it but I agree on here it shouldn't really need to be said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855329 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:11:43 +0000 mrskc 855329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855322 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:10:50 +0000 Vegmama 855322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septemberlove: Ha! Exactly!! I think it struck me when I was reading the thread about hemorrhoids! :) Like, if we're all able to talk about this, there's no need to preface it with "TMI"! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855321 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:10:49 +0000 MrsH 855321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855317 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:09:58 +0000 Bao 855317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-stop-saying-tmi#post-855309 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:09:04 +0000 MrsBrewer 855309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree!
