    Several years ago, the Knot Peeps created the Nest in the hopes that all of the OMH (old married hags) would have a new board to discuss their new stage in life and would migrate over there after they got married. I guess we weren't moving fast enough for them so one morning when we all logged in we got directed to the Nest instead of the Knot.

    We rebelled and refused to leave. I don't know the actual facts or statitics but I have a feeling the DFW girls stayed MUCH longer on the knot than any other local board. We fought the Nest pretty hard stayed probably at least a few years after we all got married.

    I mean, we tried out the Nest but it was dead back then (and dead now, so nothing has changed) so we just kind of stuck around here and annoyed all of the new girls who were actually planning their weddings.

    Several of the new girls told the more vocal ones to go away - that our time had come and passed, it was time to move on. And perhaps there was some truth in it because we diverted the board more than anything, but it was a community we had built and we all knew each other pretty darn well. Sure, we called each other time & time again but that was what it was. A bunch of crazy, almost all married, girls and this was our new found entertainment.

    I guess I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to share.

    [QUOTE]This is not Stepford...we are not going to be the most sugar-sweet folks all day every day--mostly because we live in the real world. With that being said, this board is the most friendly and cohesive of all the other boards I've been on. If you want snarky, check out the Etiquette board--they even have a flow chart that will categorize you as a newb or a vet. This isn't high school, if you have something to say, say it to us and don't feel like you can just come on back over and be all 'hi friends, how ya been!' without somebody calling you out. The comments really don't even hold any water--she specified the DJ question. The REASON people respond the way they do to commonly asked questions is that there is a 'Read this First' post for a reason. Look around for other posts with the same question. Don't jump right in. Chill out. If you want to come play in the sandbox, don't pee in it and then act like you didn't.

    I mean I disagree about the general tone and atmosphere on this board, but that's neither here nor there.  I actually like the etiquette board a lot.  People on there are catty but they're actually pretty reasonable a lot of the time.  Or at least there are enough reasonable people on there, that I doubt a classist comment like Julie's would be considered acceptable by so many people.  But that's just my hypothesis, I haven't actually tested it.

    I'm not trying to act like I didn't piss in your sandbox.  I don't care if any of you like me or not and I'm not upset about any of your comments about me, which is why I find the whole "you realize this is the internet" comment really ironic.  But I'm sure I'm not the only one who has some of the reactions that I do, which is the only reason I even say anything at all about anything on here.

    I did address it with those people before complaining on another board, which is why I'm not going to rehash it here.  So yeah, perhaps I shouldn't have vented about it anyway, but...that's what venting's for...?

    Also, I'm clear on what FFF is.  That doesn't make it any less overdramatic.

    Okay, that's good to know.  I guess I'm just paranoid with all the knot lore about people going nuts and trying to destroy people's lives.  I don't actually assume any of you are those kinds of nuts, but you never know. 

    At any rate, I just want to reiterate that I did NOT say that married ladies shouldn't hang around the boards.   Or that anyone is a hag--that word's not even in my vocabulary.

    I think if most of you knew me you would know that I'm actually a pretty reasonable person and I'm not a terrible person, so it's unfortunate that I got off on the wrong foot with a lot of you, but it's just what it is.  I don't have any hard feelings, and enjoy reading the posts on here, so I'll continue hanging around!

    On another note, which hurt my feelings...

    It was brought to my attention on Wednesday that my MOH is using my blue (the color that I was doing everything in - well not everything but it was my main color) as her main color in her wedding that's right before mine. I'm now trying to find a new shade of blue to go with my brown - maybe a baby blue? We are going to have an afternoon ceremony in winter so I think it would work. I know I shouldn't be so butt-hurt over this but I am.

    I think I know what is happening here... let me try to put it into words propertly.  (This is nice, I promise)

    We are all kind of "friends" here.  Some of us have met, some of us haven't...but in day to day discussions we get a good feel for everyone and how they act. 

    So, just as an example, when someone says something like Julie did yesterday... or if I spout off something politically right winged... most of the ladies know.. "Oh, that's just Julie being Julie.. or Tiffany being Tiffany.   It's not offensive.  Some people probably roll their eyes, some agree, some disagree.  It's whatever.

    If you want to hang out and get to know us, I think you would probably like us... and vice versa.

    That's all I've got.

    1) Yes, it is here.
    2) It seems that you are.
    3) I really don't think that 'vindictive' is the word that you're going for. Nobody here is out to get anyone else or inclined to be vengeful.

    Wendi--yes, lets. I'm always down for dranks!
    Brianna--I heart you back!
    YouTube--I am so happy that you don't mind me playing Antione on repeat today, there is a significant amount of love I have for that video today.

    I know E doesn't claim to be drama free--but some of those girls are just mean and I don't see the point.

    Wendi, I don't know what color blue you were planning to use but baby blue or Tiffany blue and chocolate brown would be really pretty.  And yeah, that sucks but don't worry--your wedding will still be unique and beautiful because it will be yours.

    I went to a wedding in Nov a few years ago and brown and an ice blue were her colors and they looked really good together!  Brown and a lighter blue is one of my favorites (our bedroom has these colors even).

    You are a bit confusing.  Bottom line - if you don't like our board, then don't come around.  If you do like it and continue to come around - fine. 

    You probably did start off on the wrong foot.  However, your continued posts about it and how we are dramatic, etc - probably aren't  helping you switch to the right foot.

    That's fair.  I know plenty of people though who when being themselves say things that are offensive.  But especially when you post something on a public forum and not just to people who "know" you, you have to expect that people are going to respond to it, and when you say something controversial people are going to have strong reactions.  But I appreciate what you're saying, and again that's why I'm not trying to say anything about Julie's general character or integrity.  Just this ONE thing she posted.

    Okay, can I at least get my flame in?  Because this has been bothering me for awhile.  I flame the grammar of FFF.  Flame Free Friday suggests that this is a day free of flames.  Like Sugar Free ice cream.  Or Caffeine Free Coke.  I feel like Free Flame Friday makes a lot more sense.  Or Flaming Freely Friday.  Flame Free doesn't actually make sense.  Am I missing something?

    Well said Tiffany! ITA.

    Brianna:  I <3 you and your googling skills. :)

    Stephie:   I have not made one yet, but I have read your very helpful review, and I agree about the photobooks too.  I didn't order a single thing from my photographer.  He is mailing me the CD of all the images with print release and I will be getting them printed myself.

    N&M:  I think you just started out on the wrong foot on this board.  You have a somewhat argumentative tone to the things you say.  I admit that sometimes it seems like you're just trying to get other points of views out there, but it just comes off as argumentative.  I work around lawyers and thats what they do too.  It's like they want to argue for the sake of arguing.  Just chill out and you will see that these girls are very helpful and that this is one of the best boards on the knot.

    [QUOTE]This is not Stepford...we are not going to be the most sugar-sweet folks all day every day--mostly because we live in the real world. <strong>With that being said, this board is the most friendly and cohesive of all the other boards I've been on. </strong>If you want snarky, check out the Etiquette board--they even have a flow chart that will categorize you as a newb or a vet. This isn't high school, if you have something to say, say it to us and don't feel like you can just come on back over and be all 'hi friends, how ya been!' without somebody calling you out. The comments really don't even hold any water--she specified the DJ question. The REASON people respond the way they do to commonly asked questions is that there is a 'Read this First' post for a reason. Look around for other posts with the same question. Don't jump right in. Chill out. If you want to come play in the sandbox, don't pee in it and then act like you didn't.

    Okay, just to clarify.  This is the comment I was responding to when I said I disagree with that characterization of the board.   As far as I don't find this to be the most friendly or cohesive of the boards I've been on.  I'm not saying that I think the tone or atmosphere should be different.  I actually find the weird dynamics on this board pretty interesting.

    This is perfect!!!
    I sadly had too many cases to keep up with this morning, but so I don't seem like I'm hiding N&M I am the one who pointed out to Brianna about the stuff you wrote on our Month Board. No one was trolling all your posts. I just didn't post it.

    Funny thing has to be you act quite different on our month board then you do here. I liked you on the month board. You are positive and constructive. Plus, I love your shoes. Here I think you really just did read the board wrong as you said.

    If you noticed a lot of people disagreed with Julie or better didn't come to the same conclusion she did. It was the way people said it that made the difference. they didn't say anything about Julie's character or person for having the opinion she did. They just gave opinions on what could have caused the mother's actions. This is where things got out of hand.

    Tiffany is right... You have to take the board and the people on it for who they are. We get frustrated with eachother, we vent, we saying things we probably shouldn't, but it's done. We have the GREAT advantage of living close enough to actually meet the wonderful people we talk to on an everyday basis. I hope you get to see how great these girls can really be.
