What would you change about BT and its posts?

Nope Hayley i am Queen thread killer! 

I like it here and haven't bother going over to DW as I'm not well known anywhere!

I rarely post as I have a very slow laptop and because I don't think people want my opinion! I'm not the most articulate either!

Its the same with meet ups. I wonder if people see me coming and think 'who is she?' However 18 months ago I arranged a meet and got to meet some fantastic Hitchers, one of which is now my best friend!

I should post more, and will make more of an effort. I lurked lots on the TTC thread but didn't want to join in as I don't have time for personals, and also I didn't want it to consume my everyday thinking. I haven't joined the 1st tri threads yet as I dont want to tempt fate! Stoopid I know!!! x

I'm posting but does anyone know who I am..

I really like it over here and I've been a  member for 6 yrs, but more and more over the last year, I've felt more and more invisible. Maybe my fault as I've posted less but one of the main reasons for that is it's been made clear by email I'm not welcome and am one of the Takers so to speak (and a lot else was said),esp around the time of posting when I was having a bit of a breakdown and tbh I've been having a hard time.

I've posted a bit over on DW and am flitting between you all.  I want to be part of the BT community and am trying to fit in somewhere.

I've been thinking about how to respond to this for a short while now.

Well I like BT but i don't like the unreliability of this place sometimes particularly on an evening.

But i've only posted on DW a couple of times. there are some people I miss because they've moved over but i see this as the forming of a new community here that is in it's infancy needs a few new members to get it going.

the hearts thingi don't see the point of them but they don't wind me up too much.

I like BT it's a place where people understand and have been through the same and are willing to help and share experiences!

Just ignore them lovely.  I know who you are!

FWIW I got sent an e-mail saying they were glad I'd m/c.  Loopers!

I'm hardly here anymore and I think I've only ever posted once on Deadwood.

My reasons? Dunno really. I just don't have the time I guess. I used to hitch when my computer was in the corner of the room where the kids played. I ignored them lots and hitched away. It saved me on many a dark day believe me. Now the computer is at the bottom of the garden in a lovely studio - just can't hop on like I did.

I feel like I don't know many people here now, but then that's because I'm never here.

My children are now nearly 5 and 2.5yrs. I may be saying something controversial here but I think I get annoyed by that new baby 'parental perfectness' that abounds around these forums. I've often witnessed people in in RL become slightly 'smug' about there parenting at around 9-15 months. You know, the toddlers talking back cheeky/naughty years haven't kicked in yet and there's a lot of "I will do this perfectly when it happens" about the place. I've been annoyed on some discussions here on discipline for instance, where people with lovely 6 month old have very firm views on discipline etc etc. I also get wound up by food threads, early weaning threads etc. But that's just me.....

I *think* I'm just all argued out for the moment. Also, as I've dipped in and out I believe some people have left for *reasons* that I'll never know because I've missed it all. Where is Zoay for instance?

Having said that, I'm not sure I could ever go for good. This place has been a HUGE part of my early mummy years and every now and again I spill my heart out on here as I have nowhere else to turn to. People here have been wonderful to me and I really value them.

I think this may be a natural progression. New people will come through and we'll see big characters again, they'll just be different.

Oh and Happybird, of course we know who you are you plonker! x

Im confused (granted it doesnt take much ha ha) have I missed something you got an email from Hitched saying your not welcome on here?

happybird and Hecate - what a horrible thing for someone to do. That's an  absolutley vile. Hope you are both ok.  

S'ok Kat - I just whisper "Crucio" under my breath at them whenever I see them

I've read this thread a few times and not sure how to respond, still not really.

I have found this place invaluable with everything over the last year and honestly would have struggled without it. I'm sure there are niggly little things that bother me but on the whole there isnt something big enough for me to leave.

I feel a bit sad that I'm sometimes reluctant to post because there have been several posts lately about some people getting more responses than others and I feel guilty that people may reply to me because of the type of thing I would post and because I feel I've shared a lot of my journey so far. It makes me feel uncomfortable and I find I'm asking less lately than I might have wanted to.

I definitely feel as though I'm a person that has taken more than given and so again I feel guilty for that.

I'd love to see some of you on DW - esp Madonna and fluffy.

I was thinking of you in a random internet weirdie way actually yesterday. How do you say "Hecate"? I've always said as 3 short syllables, but watching Jason and the Argonauts yesterday and they were saying it "He-caaa-tay" and it was really annoying me! 

I hope the looper is no one I am friends with though - I am really quite saddened that someone would do that.

You have certainly not taken more than you have given, and dont ever feel you should post or ask less NO WAY

How's you? Just posted my second post on deadwood x
