Some of you have great memories! I can never think of any situations to ask about... and then I read these threads. Every post makes me go, "Oh, yeah! What about them?" |

She went off at me for that, saying how could I make my children sleep in a drawer  Odd. My mom has told me I did sleep in a drawer when we visited my dad's aunt Emma.  |

I've often thought about the pea from the old board who was newly married or getting married soon, and her husband's sister worked at a hospital and broke all kinds of confidentiality rules to look at the Pea's medical records and then shared the details with the mother of the sister-in-law and husband. Exposing the SIL for what she did would have meant she would have lost her job for sure and it was just such a horrible situation to start off married life in. That's one of the few threads mentioned that I remember! |

I think if Pea updates at the oddest times..I've been in the shower and it would hit me like "oh I wonder what happened to this Pea" then when these threads come up I rarely remember who I thought of lol |

Bostonheart - I remember having a discussion about what a newborn baby actually 'needs' and I flippantly said that really, as long as they are fed, warm and loved they could sleep in a drawer, and a lot of the expensive baby equipment is unnecessary, as pretty as it is. She went off at me for that, saying how could I make my children sleep in a drawer Odd. In Finland, babies sleep in a cardboard box. And they have one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world… |

What happened in Ashley’s thread? I don’t remember that at all.
I love these threads and am constantly amazed at the user name recall you all have.

She was getting a new job that was a super huge commute and lots of peas were telling her at the point her n her husband were in... they just needed jobs... not just looking in her field... and the huge travel time would be bad for her family.. but it turned into a gangpile and not very supportive.. |

I miss Ashley's input too but she was obviously pretty hurt by the way things went on her final thread. That's a big shame. Bostonheart - I remember having a discussion about what a newborn baby actually 'needs' and I flippantly said that really, as long as they are fed, warm and loved they could sleep in a drawer, and a lot of the expensive baby equipment is unnecessary, as pretty as it is. She went off at me for that, saying how could I make my children sleep in a drawer Odd. well NJ us handing out sturdy cardboard boxes for newborns to sleep in. Literally. I am not joking. |

I think about all of the ones from this board. lainey, was the lady you are thinking about from San Diego and the day she found out that she had breast cancer, her DH lost his job and their insurance? I can’t remember her name and wonder about her all the time. I have never seen another post from her. I was thinking about her over the holidays and I pray for her. |

I am not good at remembering names.
There was a pea that was hearing things outside her home. She was also smelling 'farts' that I think she thought a lurker was letting. There were claw marks on her siding, I think. I wonder if that ever got figured out.
Another pea had been renting a room in her home to a man who was bonkers. She got him out finally, I think. I wonder if she ever had any more trouble with him.

I think that's Lexica she posts frequently but I don't think she's posted about him since.....hopefully he's fully out of her life (though I thought he was moving in with neighbor, wonder about that) |

She posts often, I am sure she will see this and let us know if the washing machine lover gave her any more trouble. I posted at at the same time as @johnnysmom |

How about the woman whose, was it BIL? Relative of some sort moved his mom in with him, made her pay for for the $40k basement renovation, then decided to sell the house. The Pea and her husband were going to get mom and help her get set up near them. ? That’s me! We got MIL all moved and settled. She’s happy and content in her new place. I have her over for dinner quite often and take her left overs of big meals we have. I crocheted her a big Afghan for her spare bedroom to brighten it up. She loved it. BIL is still an asshole. Rarely contacting his mom. They close on their house this coming week and have moved back to Iowa already. DH has tried a couple times to talk to BIL but he won’t return calls. So DH said he’s done. I can’t blame him. My kids are happy to have their grandma close. Both grandmas are in town and everyone seems happy with that. |

I remember Ashley. I was sorry she felt she had to leave the board. I vaguely remember her posting about trying to find a job in her field (lab work/biochemist/?? something like that) and the job she found was a long commute on a bus or buses. It made for very long days,she had kids and her DH was looking for a job and/or working on an advanced degree. She was very stressed. I hope everything has worked out for her.
The Pea I was wondering about - now this is very fuzzy. I *think* it was here on this board that there was a member who was the mom of a special needs child. Because of the child's needs, she could not go and do many things with her DH. Her DH started going places and doing thing with a female friend/co-worker maybe? This included going on vacation with the "platonic friend" and leaving wife and child at home. I think he may have been also taking foreign language classes to learn the friends language.
When the Pea started posting about his trips, other Peas started to read between the lines and surmised that the OP was not particularly happy about the "friendship" DH had with this women. The last I remember, when the Peas started telling her that the situation was a bit suspicious, she shut every one down insisting it was just a friendship and she was fine with it and the traveling.
Does anyone else remember this? Or have I lost my mind? LOL

Another pea had been renting a room in her home to a man who was bonkers. She got him out finally, I think. I wonder if she ever had any more trouble with him. That was me. He did rent a room down the street from me. I avoid going that direction and he hasn't come up to my house at all. He did attempt to send me a video of something, but there was nothing in the text other than a blank file. I didn't bother to respond to it. Since he has been gone, I have come across a few other things that he did that I wasn't aware of, like he removed the stopping component from my automatic hose winder out front (why?) but as much as it irritates me, I glad he's gone. My next door neighbor said he came to him a few months ago complaining about his accommodations at the new house because the woman has 3 boys that have gone into his room. I'm sure he purchased a lock for his door since he did that here. In fact, he left it on the door when he moved out. I found some strange things that he had done when I went in to clean that room after he had gone. He put some sort of black rubberized tape all around the door and taped triple layer of FedEx boxes on the air conditioning vent. Who knows why? The vent cleaned up without pulling paint off the wall, but the door stuff didn't come off smoothly at all. It will require some sanding and painting. |

I'm sure something like that is happening over here, or in some part of the UK. New moms are given a cardboard box filled with baby things from the manufacturers and the box is suitable for baby to sleep in if the parents want to use it. |

I don't remember her peaname, but that was from the old board. Or it could be someone completely different with a very similar story...lol |

Yes she got into a debate with her SIL or sister about it and started a circumcision debate. Oh it was golden.

It's forever etched on my brain that she said her husband was going to confront his mother about the loss of his foreskin.
I also remember her posting her bank statements so we could see how much she spent on her babies.
