Really, Jeana?
Really? That thread wasn't anywhere near as bad as some I've seen on here. And the OP was the only one being really offensive. Closing the thread just seems like censorship to me.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Really, Jeana?
If you'd like to talk about it, you can PM me.
Kudos, Jeana! Way to work those Mod powers!
I said:
A. I don't understand the "look how cute my s/o is" threads.
B. I hope I look like Mutley when I'm pregnant.
C. I Love Whales!
D. Where is Oceana's bean dip pic??
Nah, I'm with Jeana on this. That lady was just going to get completely riled up. There were shots at weight and a actual offensive name being slung around. It's better for all of us to get that one closed.
Remember, we are not baboons with keyboards. Anyone? Anyone?
Good job, Jeana.
I do think all of us saying "Congrats Jeana!!!" is weird.

Oh I'll start
MY FI is so cute because:
He went to the old roommate's room and vacuumed and washed base boards so that he could paint. He also screamed like a little girl about all the hair. Then he said, he'll be my house husband so that I don't have to worry about cleaning or cooking. Awwww.
[QUOTE]I agree that the thread was getting out of hand. The OP was the one name-calling and hitting below the belt and then tried to play the victim. Mutely is wise and a beautiful pregnant woman who shouldn't have to worry about people bashing her body image when she gives them a dose of honesty. Unfortunately, I was unable to agree with Narwhal when the post got shut down. *To that lady who brags about how much better looking she is than her BF, I don't care if you're dating a chimp, when you love someone, you don't think about how you're gracing them by being the "beautiful person" by their side...you think of them as beautiful too.* Just food for thought...and maybe a fist-bump to Narwhal.

I didn't brag. I made a blanket statement. It's a JOKE between us and everyone who knows us. I love my boyfriend very much. He's an amazing man and I'm lucky to have him. Sometimes I think, "Wow, what is he doing with ME?" I just said I get checked out more than he does, sheesh.
[QUOTE]Okay, I did NOT start this thread to rehash all the shiit in the other thread.

<div>You're right. I'll shut up so long as I can maintain my fistbumps.</div>
I tried to just cut out the beginning, but with everyone already quoting and replying, that didn't work. I feel like I made the right decision. I would never close a thread unless I was sure it was the right decision.
I was asked to be a mod. I like to think the people who asked me knew what kind of mod I'd be. If I'm not the right mod for this board then okay. That would save me some time. If you guys have a problem, let me know via PM. I'll step down if I'm not a good fit. Complain to Knot Annie if you want to. That's cool. It won't hurt my feelings.
I don't mind modding because I like this board. I like the honest opinions. This board and its honest-but-sometimes-rude members helped me a lot. However, there's a line. I've ALWAYS felt there's a line. Maybe not to other people, but to me there is. I'm going to mod based first on the Knot forum rules, and second based on my gut feeling.
But, like I said. I'm a mod because I was asked to be. If I'm told I shouldn't be, then that's okay too. But I do believe my gut feeling coincides with most other guts around here.
My Bio - updated 26/3/2011
I wanted to say that about stepping down because I really AM okay with that. I want what's best for the board members as a whole. If everyone had come in here saying "Jeana that wasn't necessary, you shouldn't have closed that" then I'd have considered why I was so far off base. I'm not close-minded. And I'm not trying to be all "OMG I'M A MOD I CAN DO WHAT I WANT RAWR"
You seemed upset about the censorship, and if a lot of others felt that way I would seriously consider that I may not be the right mod for the board.
Why my FI is freaking adorable: He still loves me even though he is a much better cook than I am.

My coworker just got a dog! He's not a puppy though. But yay for pet adoptions!
My cat finished his entire bowl of food between the time I woke up and the time we were about to leave the house. Good thing FI checked his bowl again otherwise he would be home with no food.

I just refuse to get one when FI and I are gone from 7AM to 7PM.

Mine: he always cuddles me close in his sleep. Even if I get up to go to the bathroom or something, when I come back he wraps me up and grumbles as he pulls me against him, like he's upset I got away for a few minutes. It makes me feel so loved!
But he's taking me to TacoDog for lunch, so I guess it all evens out.
*and yes, TacoDog is a place where you can get both tacos and hotdogs. and it is delicious.*
[QUOTE]Or to spin to the positive, one reason we're lucky to have our BF/FI/DH. Mine: he always cuddles me close in his sleep.

BF doesn't do that. :( But it's okay because I'm kind of claustrophobic.
One night we were spending the night at our friends house, I rolled over and said "babe, i'm cold." He said "me too." And took the covers and rolled over.

Oooh, now I'm craving a hot dog in a taco. Like smothered in lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and cheese, wraped in a soft tortilla. Or a fried corn tortilla.... yum!!!
I was eating pickles and ice cream yesterday, like one pickle and then a couple bites of ice cream followed by more pickles and more ice cream. If I hadn't just had 'that time of the month' last week, I'd be concerned these were pregnancy cravings...
