It was Merge's parents who were killed by the drunk boat driver, which was just horrible. Prior to Merge, she was MergeLeft. Was she LeftTurnOnly before that? No, but if I remember LeftTurnOnly correctly, her husband tragically died in a car accident when his trailer jackknifed. Think that was scrappingspidey |

Okay, I joined the original 2peas in early 2001? but never posted. But boy, do I remember all these stories! Scrapper Jess (?) who homeschooled and also had a foster child she "nicknamed" Latte due to the colour of his skin? And one day she posted asking for recommendations on backpacks that were bulletproof because she was being forced to send the foster children to a "public" school. And the other foster parent - maybe Sass/Sassafrass? who fostered several children with behaviour issues? I always thought someone rang her husband for some reason and he told them she was dead?? I can remember such random bits and pieces - maybe someone will remember the bits I have forgotten.  I remember the Hall of Fame dramas - who was the young male scrapper who caused controversy because his photo was of him on his horse and apparently you had to take the photo yourself? Like the women canoeing who allegedly used a camera in a tree to take her photo??Corinne I remember that one as a HOF layout containing a picture of white water rafting, and it was clear that the picture was taken by one of the white water rafting company on the shore, not the woman herself. (It is what rafting companies do) |

I remember a fairly big to-do over some Pea who loved her feet and had a picture of her toes as her avatar. Can’t remember if she put it there as a result of the complaints or it’s what started the whole shebang. 😁 This goes way waaay back.

Still gross and very disrespectful to be discussing the deaths of Peas loved ones. I think so too especially with details that aren’t firm so the pea then has to read how their loved one DID NOT die or correct someone with details. As an FYI and so people can say they were warned....when your people come here posting an obit, I’ll offer my condolences and share what you said to me 😜😏 complete with links. |

Still gross and very disrespectful to be discussing the deaths of Peas loved ones. I had to go back and read and see what you’re talking about. When two peas with similar screen names have experienced a tragic loss, and it seems like someone is mixing them up, I don’t see it as gross to correct their memory. Which then even I remembered wrong, so I too, was corrected. And that is gross? Should just never ever mention shared tragedy here? I mean if I came to 2peas to grieve and share my story, and years later someone mixed up my loved one’s memory, damn right I’d want them corrected. I’m ashamed for mixing them up I’ll admit. But maybe I’m way off base here so I’ve deleted my post. Now, a whole thread making other peas’ tragedy an entire topic of conversation would be gross. I’d agree with that. My tragedy is not your entertainment. But I guess I just fail to see how correcting a memory is gross. |

(It is what rafting companies do) That was Bernadette, I posted the detective work on that one on the history board. She was so ridiculous in her details on how she took the photo it was just insane. At least Mitchell (the boy on the horse) and Kristina didn’t try to lie about their photos. They both freely admitted that the photos weren’t taken by them. Bernadette was just crazy over trying to prove how she took the photo and it was hilarious (to me) how she was taken down but still kept trying to explain how she took the damn photo that she clearly didn’t take. I always wondered if they had to give any on their “winnings” back. I am assuming not, but man, what a lot of drama that was. |

But I guess I just fail to see how correcting a memory is gross. I think the fact that it has been brought up repeatedly and has been “corrected” by so many different people that it is just utter confusion now is what is gross. Clearly the peas that this is about still post here a lot and none of them have come to participate in that part of the discussion, so it feels really disrespectful to me for people to keep bringing it up. |

I think it's a bit gross to talk about how people's loved ones died when those Peas are still posters on this board, especially if your facts aren't straight. This. 100%. Guys, have some tact. Some decorum. Some compassion. So many facts that you think you “remember” but a lot of these facts are wrong. Especially hurtful when you come here thinking you’re going to laugh over dumb drama like torn vagina sunsets and people are discussing how your loved ones have passed away and getting all the details wrong. Is that really what this board is about now? I’m disgusted. |

Your loved one dying and you telling people on one message board you belong to so you can grieve and they can pray for your family isn’t shared tragedy. You can spin it any way you want but it isn’t shared tragedy, it’s a small personal loss for THAT person. So speculating on the details, getting them wrong, respeculating...this is gross. And if you’re part of it, you’re gross too. |

Thanks for posting that link---I never saw that thread. I miss seeing anabella's weird/argumentative posts! I'm gonna go pop some popcorn and read it. There was one time when she called me out for having an avatar that was an old picture of me. I tried to explain that I (like many others) recognize people by their avatars and I didn’t want to change it for that reason. It was weird. Spoiler: The avatar I have now is a couple of years old. I DON’T LOOK THE SAME. Passports are good for 10 years so I’m guessing avatars should also be? |

Still gross and very disrespectful to be discussing the deaths of Peas loved ones. My husband died unexpectedly almost 4 years ago and I'm putting myself in their position and it would be incredibly painful. Triggers are real and you don't expect to read about the death of your loved one in a post like this; much less put the right death with the right person. |

Because one, it doesn’t belong in this thread. And two. Speculating on details many of you can’t remember is GROSS. If you’re upset with what I said 🤷🏽♀️ You are welcome to block me. |

Let's try not to keep hashing this over, it's not helping.
Anyway back on track, I remember coming to the original board in probably 2000 or so, looking around, and deciding it wasn't really for me. I was part of the eBay boards for years and at one time they had a scrapbooking board I used to post on.
That was where the tear bears were selling and a link to 2peas and the thread about them was posted. I'm pretty sure that was 2006. I signed up to post on 2peas and the rest is history for me.
The eBay scrapbook board sure had some petty bitches, just like NSBR, but a lot less traffic.

A tear bear is a paper pieced teddy bear or other animal made from high-fiber paper like mulberry paper. The paper has fuzzy edges when torn and you can rough up the surface and make a plush fuzzy texture, layer to get 3D effects, and color them with chalks and pastels. Some of them are extremely elaborate paper art pieces. That was where the tear bears were selling I'm still not sure what a tear bear was. |

That was where the tear bears were selling I'm still not sure what a tear bear was. Mulberry paper wet and then torn in such a way to create textured fuzzy bears? Don’t ask me how much money I spent on arts and crafts I organized over and over again only to sell at a yard sale before leaving Hawaii...yes that means I shipped that shit across the ocean at some point 🤣🤣😩 Someone beat me to it and it seems I was wrong about the technique. A lesson in that 😏 |
