I sent dh a text message that was waiting for him as soon as he got off work. I'm pretty sure he was as shocked as I was because the text he sent back to me had about a hundred mistakes in it and I could barely decipher it. I decided his messed up text meant that he couldn't see his phone very well because his eyes were filled with tears over the loss of my beloved NSBR... In all actuality, he was probably trying to get into his car without dropping anything. You guys are totally cracking me up, and I love love love this!

My mom always asks me what is happening on the peas so her response was "oh dear, what now". I told her not to worry, peas are resourceful.
DH was getting ready for a rocket weekend and what I was saying didn't really register. He will miss it later. He liked to look at the NSBR home page and would occassionally read a thread. I am not putting the new site on his computer.

My SO said,"You have a message board you go to?" LOL...he's a gamer and frequents boards of his own so he totally understood the heartbreak and subsequent relief for this board. The bigger LOL for me was his comment when I told him the member and post counts for this board already: "In under 24 hours? I knew women liked to gossip, but wow!"

I used the closing as an excuse for getting absolutely nothing done yesterday. He actually seemed to understand that it took many frantic hours yesterday to figure out where we were all going. Lol

My husband totally understood the gravity of the situation, lol. He was sympathetic regarding my panic about where to get 'all the important information' I got from 2peas. From computer help to product recommendations to 'first-to-know' celebrity death announcements... Can't deny that that place was a wealth of information on just about any subject you could think of!

My kids thought that meant all scrapbooking was over. They were talking about how now I'll never go to crops again, and I'll never ever be away from them for a second. If I believed that, I'd probably be drinking!

This was the conversation that ensued: Him: "What are you going to do NOW?" Me: "Probably get more shit done." Him: "Probably not." Me: "Yeah, there's already a new message board to replace it." Him: "What's that one called? 86 Peas in a Toilet?" Me: "Yes. Exactly that." LOL, this thread is hilarious!

My husband rolled his eyes so hard when he found out this new board was called 2PeasRefugees. He said, "Wow, you had a four hour diaspora before you could regroup. That must have been really hard.". lol

Anthony just kind of went, "oh." Then, after I found this board and let him know the good news, he said "Thank God, now I can sleep tonight", in a very dry tone. So, I'm thinking he gets to keep his guy card for a while

My dh got it. He knows how much I loved NSBR and he got a few laughs from it throughout the years as well. His comment was, "Wow. Very sad. Big loss for a lot of people." That's why I keep him around.

I have to admit, I felt lost when I realized what happened. I found out from Leann's status, and thought it was a prank at first.

I sent the link through Skype and my husband who never calls me during the day called me. He knew I was heartbroken. I never discussed NSBR with him. Some things can be just mine..I did tell him now though. I can leave the site up on my laptop this way. LOL

I have tried to keep my TP addiction under wraps for the most part. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to know why I am so well versed in just about everything!

I told DH and kids I had something horrible to tell them and that it would probably really upset them. They all just smirked and rolled their eyes.

OP----LOL at what your DH said!!! I was whining about to DH how I only know ONE PERSON "IRL" who watches Big Brother and that not being able to "chat" with peeps about it on two peas was such a bummerrrrr after reading the threads here for the past FOURTEEN YEARS and dished about it... OMG, I even remember the ONE summer I got live feeds (2001.....Dr. Will and Boogie!!!) and, after Sept 11---posting on two peas things like "OMG, they need to let them OUT of that stupid house so they can be with their loved ones!!!!!!!!!!"

I didn't get a chance to tell DH yet (different schedules), and I wasn't home last night but over at my parent's house visiting them and my sister. I did tell my sister. She understood immediately, and said, "Oh NO!", but then quickly added, "Don't worry, someone will get another group together on a different board somewhere. You'll all regroup somehow". And she was right! I woke up this morning to a private message from a Pea on the scrapbook.com board telling me about this wonderful new board. What a relief! I'd been a Pea for 12 years, had over 5,000 posts. Who was I going to discuss Survivor and Amazing Race with if you all were gone? Not to mention all of the million and one other things we discuss?

Our conversation went something like this:
Me: You must live right, honey. Him: why? Me: because they shut down Two Peas. Him: oh, so now you'll have more time to spend with me. Me: right
An hour later I told him that there was a new board up already. He laughed when I told him the name of it.

Did it even take an hour for peas to regroup I feel like this group came together fast.

when i told DH 2 peas closed, the first thing he said was "now what will you do?"
then, he got worried that I would turn him into my own personal NSRB and start chatting with him about dogs that stole Jesus, Fiesta colors, what to buy at Trader Joes, and which Kitchen Aid mixer to get.
I told him I found another board and he has come out of hiding.
