My sister found me on TK

scoetto

My sister does a lot of research for her job and found me on here. She called me today to let me know she was uncomfortable with one of my older threads but otherwise she said reading my posts was fun. So I guess really I'm just saying "Hi" to my big sister in CA. She's stalking my party planning

Nebb

spill it, what one was she uncomfortable with? How did she find you that easily?

Eek, remember when my friend IRL found me here? I was asking about her bad business logo, got lots of good advice here, then she found it, and called me at 2 in the morning. Yikes!

This is a fear of mine to be "found out" on TK.  I like my relative anonymity.  I would be crushed if one of my co-workers or some other peeps found me here.  ::waves to scoetto's big sis::Hiya, chick.

Stina, what'd she say to you?  How pissed was she?  Friendship survive?

scoetto

Ha! Nebb I gave her my planning website a few times. It really wasn't that hard, I just didn't realize she would do it.

She was upset because I was "bad mouthing" her business. In my defense, her business is wedding photography and I needed to see what real brides thought of it. No one here liked it. I wish I had deleted the thread before sending her the constructive criticism email. She then said that she would NEVER write or say anything like that behind my back. Then I told her that "yes you prefer to insult me to my face." We're still friends, and she was a bm at our wedding.

scoetto

Good thing she got over it Stina! Same with my sister. She wasn't pissed, she just wanted to talk about it. Which I thought was really cool. I love my big sis.

I just called my sister a nutjob in a thread below. She'd probably be pretty uncomfortable with that, but most BSCies don't know they are, so I'd expect it. I'd feel weird reading my sister's stuff on a MB. J's sister found his other sister on a mommy board and she'd vented to her friends about something going on between them, and they don't speak now. It wasn't badmouthing, and she used no names; it was just venting her frustrations and asking for advice. I think I'd rather just not know. Of course, if my non-BSC sister found TK, you people would not know what hit you. Apart we are a mess. Together we are a freakin CIRCUS!

Dear Scoetto's sister, I'm glad youre not a mister, But Kel is so cool, She is not a fool, The beans and rice did missed her.

stina93446

Au contraire, she was pissed. But she said that we had issues because we used to be best friends but that we couldn't talk anymore. A week later, I called her with "all the issues" I had with her and she sat and took them all. Since then, it's been great. I held a lot in for a long time.

scoetto

Bec, thankfully my sister isn't BSC. :)And thanks for the poem fishy!

My cousin IS on here..... She's getting married in about 3 weeks.I have no idea if she ever ventures to P&E, or even knows I'm over here. I've seen her on the DC area (or Northern VA board) a couple of times.Remember the posting about the girl who was ticked she couldn't get the chapel she wanted on-post because it was being used for too many military funerals and she was non-military? My cousin is from a military family and is getting married at that chapel. That girl was whiny.

scoetto

Missy, DC is my local. I wonder who your cousin is and if I know her. Hmm...

BecW2be

Yes, thankfully! I didn't mean to imply that she was. HI Scoetto's sister! I don't think you're BSC! I'd actually kind of like having my non-BSC sister here. She'd be all like, "Heeeey Becca! Have you told them about ____________ (insert embarrassing moment)?" and I'd be all like, "Shut up and have another shot. It's almost 10am for Christ's sake." and she'd be all like, "YOU shut up before I tell them about the time you peed your pants in 2nd grade on the bus. Oops! Too late!" Ok, second thought, I don't want either of my sisters finding me on TK.

scoetto

HAHAHAH! Bec, I would love to witness that.

Awkward.  At my previous job, a girl was engaged and I talked smack about here all the time because she was committing etiquette crimes like once a week.  I'm glad she didn't see my posts.The only person I've "run into" on here is a girl on my local who was a friend of a friend in college.  She's freaking awesome, i wish she'd post on P&E b/c she's hilarious.

stina93446

I ran into DH's friend's Fi on here. I felt weird seeing her posts about her wedding planning problems because I was invited to the wedding, so it felt like I wasn't supposed to know about those details.

HI SCO'S SISTER!!!!!!!

BecW2be

Scoetto, why isn't your sister talking to us?

scoetto

Bec, I just sent her the link to look. She's not registered on TK. She can just read it.

georgia_bride09

This is why I try to keep TK and FB fairly separate. My BFF would have the smarts to find this place and then it would be all over; where would I vent then? That's also why I didn't have a picture of myself until now.

missy68

scoetto, her screen name is missmary and maybe some numbers. she's only posted a couple of times there and on the honeymoon board. her date is nov. 21.

stina93446

Georgia, exactly. I find that the knot is the perfect place to vent about whatever it is that's bothering us.

amlewis83

There have been a few times, including yesterday, when I had the urge to b!tch about something/someone I know IRL. Then, I get a wee bit anxious that they will somehow find it.

NBSC sister is on FB, but BSC is not. Speaking of sisters (not to threadjack, scoetto, but ok I'm threadjacking!), FI's sister emailed me this morning asking about my BSC sister's RSVP to the wedding tea she's having for me. It was ridiculous. So formal and stupid. We had a laugh, and then I forwarded it to NBSC sister and she wrote her own RSVP to both of us. BSC is below, and I'll do another post with NBSC's response (SIA for the C/P formatting): BCS: Ma'am,I am both delighted and excited to attend afternoon tea in honor my sister, Bec, at 2pm on Wednesday the 28th of October.  My family is very happy for both J and Bec and look forward to meeting you on this joyous occasion.  Thank You for the thoughtful invitation.  I should tell you, however, that  I am traveling with my young daughter mini-me, 5 yrs old.  I would respectfully ask your permission to allow her to attend with me, unless you feel it would be less than suitable for your arrangements.  Please, let me know what you suggest,  so that I can make childcare arrangements prior to my arrival in North Carolina the day prior.Respectfully,

BecW2be

NBSC joke response: Dearest , I am overfilled with joy to have received such a wonderful and warm invitation to the afternoon tea in great celebration of my blessed sister Bec's marriage to your wonderful brother, J.  I graciously accept your invitation and would be truly thrilled to join your wonderful family for this event.  I must inform you that I will be traveling with my fondest friend, Jose Cuervo.  He does not speak fluent English (and sometimes affects my English) so I am wondering if I might have our translator accompany us to this glorious event.  If this is not appropriate or space does not allow for these additional guests, please inform me and I will expeditiously make arrangements for his care.  Sometimes I am able to conceal his presence in my purse, water bottle, or bra, but I might warn you, he has a tendency to eventually show himself.  Please take note that I have correctly spelled your brother’s name above and will happily accept any brownie-points this may win me with your beautiful family. Respectfully and fondly yours,

scoetto

Ha! Bec that's hilarious.

I love NBSC sister!!!

I go on a few different message boards, and being 'found' is actually one of my greatest fears.

aMrsin09

well at least BSC sis asked if she could bring the mini-me and won't be all pouty about it if she can't.  She gets NBSC points for that, yes? I think I was found on here by a family member, but I'm not certain since she never came out and said so, but I do find myself tempering what I say now.
