Ring finally fits

in Not Engaged Yet
I tested my ring out for a bit to see how if fit,  I knew it was big, but wanted to see how i did with fingers swelling in the heat.  We took it in and got it sized.  Im a 5 but that was just perfect so we went with a 5 1/2.  So much nicer being able to pick up my son and not worrying about my ring falling off.  Just was excited to be able to do everyday stuff and not worry about loosing it.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

    Danielle, while usually it's great to hear what's going on in people's lives, we're not your personal diary.  And the threads on here are usually interactive.  So either someone is asking everyone a question or for their opinion, we're all sharing stories about a similar theme, or once in awhile a regular needs to complain/brag, but this stuff is so random and really makes me scratch my head and think, "Why would we care?"  And I'm not usually critical of what people post, but this isn't at all interesting or informative or necessary.

    If you just want to post a detailed account of everything that goes on in your life, you should start a Twitter account or a blog.  If you're going to post on here, you're certainly welcome as it's a public forum, but please try to keep in mind that this board is for conversation and discussion, not a personal billboard.

    Funny when im barely on here.  I havent been at my house since thurs night,  But thats cool i was just excited that it fit and wanted to share.  I posted about the night we went out and the ring mishap.  Thinking he was gonna propose that night.  When he did.  The funny story i wanted to share which people didnt get,  Fine thats ok,  Mostly everything was related to this board so maybe you should check your facts.  Not every detail of my life is updated on here.

    Blogger or Livejournal would be an excellent place for something like this. A lot of people on TK seem to have links to either planning websites or blogs in their sig. Why not try something like that?

    <div>I think that's exactly the issue. You're not really on here and haven't given the regs here a chance to really get to know you so in all honesty people probably aren't that interested. I get that your trying, but you really need to be around more often and read more posts and see how things work.</div>

    I barely post and dont intend to i just was plain and simple excited that my ring fits.  I barely even update my status on fb so why the hell would i blog.  QUITE FRANKLY I FIND A BUNCH OF SNOBS ON THIS SITE.  ALL OF YOU HAVE PEGGED YOUR FAVORITES.  CHOOSE WHO YOU LIKED, WHO YOU DONT LIKE. FORMED YOUR CLICKS.  YES IM RANDOM SO IS MY SISTER.  SO I HAVE CHOOSE TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT AND PLAN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  PEOPLE WHO DO NOT JUDGE AND EXCEPT EVERYONE.

    If you don't want people to judge and want them to accept you right away then the internet is not the place for you. Sorry you've had a bad experience. All internet forums have clicks. And all internet forums have people who are going to tell you exactly what they think without sugar coating it. Why are people always so baffled by this??

    That is so exciting! When FI proposed my ring was too big but I wore it for a few days before we took it back to be resized then I had to wait TWO weeks to get it back. It was the longest two weeks ever, but it was definitely a good feeling to have it back on my finger where it will be forever :-)

    I have a son about to be one.  His first birthday is important to me.  So right now i do not have all the time in the world to spend on the internet,  He's my number one priority not letting people get to know me over the internet.  When i have time i get on.

    Look at it this way. Your posts are kind of like going up to a group of strangers on the street and saying: "My ring fits!" and walking away. Would you be surprised if people looked at you funny then? Probably not. Don't be so surprised when you get reactions like that on the internet. Not having getting to know people online as your #1 priority is fine, but you're going to have to expect the remarks when you're a sporadic poster that no one really knows. Especially when you're posting on a board like this one that has such a close group of regs.

    I am really confused... I understand that TK is a wedding forum where people post wedding related questions but why is everyone attacking Danielle because she posted something about how her engagement ring finally fits? Isn't that wedding related? 

    Did anyone notice the LASIK thread? How is that wedding related? I see so many threads that are hardly wedding related and no one tells the OP that they should start a blog.

    It's not that you have to keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself. It's more of you need to post in threads by other people more than creating ones of your own so that people get to know you. There are plenty of threads that people start that contain random questions where you can share stories. A story like the Neas one belongs in something like that, not as a stand alone thread. 

    And since you haven't really offered any opinions, I don't think that's an issue here. From what I recall most of the comments from other posters have been about the threads you choose to start which are more stories or facts about your life.

    This board is called "Not Engaged Yet" - we typically talk about life things, occasionally wedding things, but it is always a conversation with other posters rather than 'journal entries'.  Either people ask questions, or they discuss topics, or they answer a poll, or they talk about life.  But it's all interactive, whereas it's difficult to respond to something like this.

    And it was never an attack - it was letting her know that this isn't typically how this board was used, that posting random stories that don't relate to anything else is not often received well, and how she can participate and be included.  I certainly don't want to drive anyone off.  Perhaps you should lurk a bit so you can get a feel for how the board interacts, and then respond to a few other threads once in awhile rather than starting new ones for seemingly random messages.

    Thanks for the input.  For anyone who cares or wants to know me.  My sons birthday is next sat which i am stoked and nervous for.  I am 26.  I technically have 7 brothers and sisters but grew up with one of them.  We are extremly close, a bond that most people will never understand.  Simply because they have not lived what we went though before we got a adopted to a loving family.  My best friend is flying in next week so we can celebrate our boys birthdays together and we are gonna go dress shopping.  Which after today i am choosing not to post about.

    Blargh. Am I the only other person awake right now I feel like I'm responding way too much... 

    Mandi- If you notice the LASIK post asked for other people's feedback and experience which is a big thing around here.

    In reguards to this, i posted a funny story last week about my sisters dog.  Well it was interesting to me.  No one on here like that so i learned to stray from anything non wedding related.  That was my only non related wedding post.

    As far as it being not yet engaged.  I have seen plenty around here still showing the dyi stuff for thier wedding.  Others who are engaged and still posting here.

    It's not SUPPOSED to be wedding related - it's interactive.  Don't you see the difference?  We're not telling you that you have to talk about your wedding - we're saying that the best way to interact on here is to ask questions or respond to a poll.

    Your story specifically said something about it being an inside joke - that you wrote something on someone's chalkboard that only you would understand.  How are we supposed to relate to that?  Are we supposed to find something funny when it's not even explained?

    This forum is about life stuff.  Yes, some girls are engaged and married.  We don't really care.  If someone has a question about engagements, wedding planning, marriage, relationships, family, house-buying, moving, whatever, we all talk about it.  If someone needs support or needs to vent, we're here.  But it's about INTERACTING, not just posting a random story that no one quite understands where it came from.

    WERE NOT YOUR PERSONAL DIARY.  AND IM NOT USUALLY A CRITICAL OF WHAT PEOPLE POST, BUT THIS ISN'T AT ALL INTERESTING OR INFORMATIVE OR EVEN NECESSARY.  hmm to me seems like a personal attack.  But than when people asked you about it you change your tune saying it wasnt. 

    If it wasn't meant to be that way whay phrase it the way you did the first time.  They way you stated it to everyone else after was a lot nicer, less of a personal attack.  i'm not stupid by any means.  Which i gather you think i am.  I can understand what you tell me and even if its in a nice way.  I have always told people i am a human being would like to be treated by one.  When your mean or yell at me, my response is gonna be a negative one.  Follow the golden rule which people these days have forgotten.

    My sisters dog naes is protective of my son he think he is his.  Hes been fixed but still has not got over the humping stage.  That day i could not pick up bryland without naes humping me.  The whole time in the kitchen giving him dinner naes was humping me every 2 min.  ON THE WHITEBOARD I PUT AS A JOKE CAUSE WE ALL KNOW IN OUR HOUSE HOW NAES IS.  NAES IS A HUMPOLIC CURRENT OBSESSION OF THE DAY= DANI, HOWEVER I WASNT SURE ABOUT POSTING THAT LAST LITTLE BIT.  I DIDNT WANT TO AFFEND ANYONE. HOPE THAT CLEARS UP THAT POST AND PEOPLE CAN MOVE ON FROM IT.

    For the record, I do think .  This comes from the way you present yourself online.  You chose to not use capital letters.  You chose to use incorrect grammar.  You chose to neglect punctuation.  All of these things make you come across as unintelligent. 

    I think you are dense because you cannot grasp the concept of a message board, no matter how many times it is explained to you.

    I am not going to pull any punches - you are being an idiot and alienating yourself. Message boards as said above are meant to be interactive. There is nothing wrong with being happy or excited with events in your life , however , the point of a messageboard like this is often to get opinions on things , ask questions or overall have a conversation not to just spout out random junk that frankly most people probably don't care about because we don't know you from the next person on the street.
    You are making your own drama - get over it.

    If using punctuation and correct spelling makes me a snobby biatch, I will happily be one.  I would rather be an intelligent biatch than an ignorant dimwit.
