DH knows that I've gotten advice and good information from fellow Peas . . . but he also took the business side of things. He understands where the owners just couldn't hold on anymore. I've not told him I've found this place yet today. Does anyone know about how many peas were on the forums? I know we all have PeaNut numbers but there really couldn't be that many? I'm a member of a small forum where we REALLY know each other online . Only met one IRL, so my needs for a small community are meet there. However the ability to have somewhat anonymous when asking for advice or venting was wonderful over on NSBR. Having a Doctor or two, a few nurses, a pharmacist etc for some ad lib medical advice, as well as the BTDT aspect of many conditions was priceless. When I went gluten dairy free I got tons of advice and guidance. Thanks peas!

That must have been really hard.". lol Thank you, MaryMary----I had to google "diaspora"--I love learning new words....annnnddd now I hope I get those letters someday in "Games With Friends"....I'm TIRED of my sister beating me to a pulp every. single. game. !!!!!

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! hee hee.....so funny you said that....hubby, some family, and my closest friends know that when I say "guess what I learned today on ________" (I'm actually silent)....then they respond with "two peaaassss" or sometimes I'll just say "guess what I learned on that scrappin' board where I RARELY talk about scrappin?" .... (I DO still scrap, though---just not as much as the past!!!)

My husband said, "Oh nooooos!" He totally gets it. Since I was/am VERY much a lurker (like under 80 posts in 7 registered years and 0 posts in the 5 years before that), I didn't get any pea mail, wasn't on the FB group, etc. I've been madly googling all day to see if I could find ANY hits on 2Peas. And then suddenly the rainbow appeared and here you all are! I'm so happy to be back and see all of your familiar names and avatars.
OK, now that peace has been restored in my little corner of the world, I'll head back into lurkdom...

My husband said, "Oh no, where will you learn the most random shit in the world now?"
He means that with love. Over the years, he's grown increasingly impressed by the depth and breadth of knowledge that's on Two Peas. Obviously, I don't share *everything* that went on there with him LOL

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 Yep, this was me as well. I felt like I was being sort of silly, but I decided to go ahead and allow myself a day to wallow in self-pity and agonize over the general suckiness with which the entire situation was handled. Once I found this board, my mood lightened considerably, which I'm sure was a relief to my dh and kids.

Seriously I was on vacation in Las Vegas. I had a great time, got married, was flying high. I came back to find that my group had not finished the final paper, two peas was closed, and when I went to pick up my kids Thursday night, my ex husband's wife was completely lost on her way to drop them off. I had the most craptastic day after having an incredible vacation. Thank God I found this board yesterday. My Thursday completely sucked.

That. Mine asked how we're going to get answers to all those questions you can't ask friends or family - he knows the peas know everything.

My Dh was upset for me - he knows how much good info we got there. His 'pick me up' was "don't worry, there were enough of you that you'll find a new home". I didn't believe him, but I'm happy he was right.

Thanks for the welcome!! It's so good to see you too!
Work has eaten up all my free time over the past year or more, so I haven't been on 2Ps much at all. I was pretty stunned to see an email that it was closing down and was sad thinking I might not be able to reconnect. I'm glad to have found everyone so quickly. Lots of familiar names and avatars.

I'm so glad you made it, it wouldn't be the same without you! I hope work has settled down.

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! I completely agree with you on all points made!!

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. Ah ha ha! That is hilarious!!!
