I want her to know she's missed. I understand she may not see being tagged and beetlejuiced the same way that I do (as a positive), but all the same. I want her to know she's missed. Yes, I was hoping those weren't her feelings about the Pod. Her perspective would be missed.

aw jeez. Did you guys scare voltagain off? I like her! Even if she got a little cranky here. Also, I wanted to add, it's not necessarily true that a member wouldn't know she (or he) had been tagged unless she checked back here. I get email notifications whenever someone tags me or quotes me. It's a pain in the ass sometimes, but that way I never miss it when people are talking to or about me (unless I ignore my email for days and then mass delete everything, which has been known to happen ... but I try, anyway). You can make adjustments to notifications on your member page. It was never my intention to scare her off. I just think there is a way she could have made her point without putting all of us who actually enjoy coming here down.

I know there is a post about Voltagain right now, but why bump a controversial post that is over a week old just to post "wow"?

I would definitely NOT be asking about Yubon if she went missing. And now I am putting on my flame retardant suit. Wait...do we still have those on this board? Oh but if I ever do leave, you MUST ask where I am and try to peatlejuice me back, because apparently I am Tier 1. And you must be like a Tier 19 or something because I have no idea who the hell you are.

Yikes. I didn't know some people felt that way about this place. I don't, that's for sure.
I've gotten to know a bunch of Peas beyond this board- on FB, and some in person. Some of those friendships have been great- and some...we weren't really meant to be friends. And that's OK. No ill will or anything. The friends I've made though- really, I just enjoy them. They are such different personalities, and we don't always agree, but they make me laugh all the time. It's flattering that they trust me enough to include me on that level. You get to know people in a totally different way.
When people don't cross the 2Peas/FB divide (or beyond that)- I get it. There's potential for an abuse of trust. I've seen it first hand- and it was really surprising and disappointing. When people opt not to take a chance or go there- I absolutely get it.
I don't know most of you very well (or at all). But I know a lot of you well enough to miss you if you went away. I wouldn't hound you- but I'd want to now you were OK. I think that's normal. And having been on the flip side of that- when someone said they hadn't seen me here in awhile and tagged me- it was really nice. I didn't feel dragged back (I didn't get dragged away) or peatle-juiced. I got a notification in e-mail and thought "Oh my gosh- I haven't been there in awhile. I can't believe anyone noticed." If I didn't want to stop in, I wouldn't have. This is a good place for me though, so it was a happy notification to get.
I feel bad that anyone thinks this a negative, vortex-ey kind of place you can't easily get away from. It's a good idea to cut yourself off, if that's the case though.

Hey guys, My cat likes to sleep on my laptop and last night somehow logged me in here (impressive because normally all he does is Google "gghghgghhhhhhhhhhghhhhhhh") Anyway, I saw notifications and saw this thread. Thanks to everyone who thought of me! My life is pretty much exactly the same as when I last posted: shit, and super stressful. But, quite surprising to me, I also feel like I'm the happiest and most healthy I've been in a long while. ( I'm still at the same job, and I adore my coworkers and colleagues. The job is incredibly boring and most days I want to jab sharp things into my brain, just for some stimulation. My DH still does not have a permant job; he is currently wrapping up teaching one university course, and in May will start teaching another. On a highly positive note, I met my weight loss goal on schedule on my birthday in March: 70 lbs lost in under one year. Now, if only my abdomen didn't look like a deflated balloon found behind your couch, two weeks after a party, and if my breasts looked like something that could be described in some way other than pendulous pancakes, I'd feel pretty awesome. But, as my mother says, those things are unlikely to happen, so I guess I will not fight them too hard. Thanks again for the positive thoughts and well-wishes.

Good to hear from you, Ashley. Congrats on meeting your wt. Loss goal and so glad your health is better. I'd be glad for saggy Everthing if I could loose 70 lbs! Best wishes from the peas...we love you!

Gotta say, I was thinking of an old-time pea a few weeks ago, wondering what she'd been up to since we moved boards - for the life of me, I couldn't think of her pea name, just what she looked like. Anyway, last week I saw her post and, before asking where the hell she'd been, I checked her post history. Apparently, she had joined the new board on the first day and had been posting fairly consistently ever since. I guess I suck at the whole pea-friend, compassion thing. Best part? I forgot what her name was again. My point - unless someone points it out to me, it would probably take me years to notice anyone's absence and, even then, you might still be posting here fairly regularly and I just didn't notice. And if you notice I'm missing, maybe come looking for me. Chances are I took a wrong turn leaving my house and I'm completely lost.

Not a spreadsheet keeper then Great to 'see' you ashley - glad to hear you're feeling happy, and congrats on the weight loss! I firmly believe that a crappy job with great people is better than a great job with crappy people (obviously both being great would be ideal!)

I have to say, the happiness is a choice. It's definitely a choice. I never understood people who said that before, but now I certainly do. Thanks for all of the supportive comments about my weight loss. I was going to take photos this weekend but it will have to wait until next weekend.

Hey, Ashley! It's so good to hear that you've found a way to thrive amidst the stress. I've always enjoyed your posts, both here and on the old board, so seeing your positive post here was definitely a welcome sight! Also, this thread just made me realize how much of a slacker I've been on this board! I used to be able to pick any thread at random and know exactly what was going on, inside jokes and pea legends included. This thread, however, had me going "whhaaaaa?!?" Now I'll probably be up all night trying to catch up on everything that I've missed...
