Lots of good old random memories on this thread...thanks! I remember a younger pea (blonde/newly married) posting about her gyno telling her not to use Always pads or wash her vagina with soap. Seriously reading that now, I sound like a weirdo for remembering it. But, I was a big fan of Always pads (back when I still got my period) and my teen uses them so that memory pops in my head occasionally. Very late to the party on this thread and reading from the start. Her cancer did not make sense in a young woman nor did her treatment. At first, I felt sympathy but in a very short period of time, it made no sense!

That might be Slow(er)Joe. Not sure of his exact screen name. He posted not too long ago I think or else someone linked to his blog. He married a girl I think from Russia (or Ukraine) and they now have a child. He was/is a standup comedian. No, definitely a different guy than Joe. This guy's son would be at least 10 by now, maybe older the way time flies these days. I think the guy you are talking about had the word āLuckyā in his peaname..... I wondered about him, too.

Was she the one who bought a Starbucks drink, wrote her number on it, and took it to him in his office? I donāt know. Pretty creative, though. I didnāt read many of the Darcy posts. They were like fan fic. But all the reply posts above are right: Librarian...Bemis...then Mariah (hence my āDelilahā)...then maybe Mariah2. Wait, she was a religion librarian. She knew a ton about religious studies and religious history. I did read all of those.

I don't remember that lady's name but her thread was "I have a bee in my bonnet!" And she vented about moms who were so eager to "get rid" of their kids by sending them off to school every day. And then she went on to detail all the fun, quality time she'd be spending with her kids that summer...as she drove them around to different activities where she could dump them off! lol the irony was fabulous. I remember the "bee in my bonnet" thread title, because several peas eloquently told her what she could do with that bonnet. The bullet proof backpack pea was ScrapperJess. She kept a blog until not long ago. She has, like, nine or ten kids now, most of them adopted. The bee in my bonnet woman was a Canadian whose husband owned a youth sports training facility I think? Yes. ScrapperJess was a complete nutball. I had her mixed up with the bee in my bonnet one. Thanks for sorting out my memory!!

Why did Veronica just jump into my head? Am I making that up? Ring any bells...? I'll keep thinking.Ā Her name was Veronica Ponce, her husband is Carlos Ponce who was an actor.Ā I believe he was on Seventh Heaven and other shows.Ā They lived in Florida and had two biological sons and adopted twin girls from Russia.Ā I believe they are divorced now.Ā And I also think she is Marco Rubio's sister. Her photography was gorgeous, and she was very pretty and seemed like a really sweet pea. Her journaling was outstanding. I loved her LOs.

But her academic speciality was religious studies. She knew more about Christianity than most Christian posters here. She could switch from schoolgirl crush to the Council of Nicaea on a dime. (Iām now wondering where I store these kinds of memories in my brain..and what else is lurking in there just waiting for a wake up call.)

Thank you! And glad Iām not the only one that remembers that haircut. IIRC she was upset because she had paid for extensions. I canāt remember to bring my grocery list with me to the grocery store but I remember Ocean Dreamer got a bad haircut about 10 years ago.

What about the pea who faked her own death? She either lived in Kansas or was a Kansas University fan. Oh I was just going to mention this- she had several foster children. And someone phoned her home and her husband answered- she was alive and well. (Sass?? something) I I think her name was Sassafrass....she had a lot of kids, homeschooled...

I'm only caught up reading through page 8, so forgive me if this was already mentioned. Does anyone remember when some other website had a feature where you could "send" a virtual message in a bottle and it would show up across the sea in the inbox for some other random person across the world? I may not have the details exactly right, but it was something like that. And that website was shared on 2peas so many peas started participating and signing the name on the bottle-note with "pea...whatever their name was". And then on the other website, people were questioning/confused why all of a sudden so many messages had "pea" in the name. I hope I'm explaining all that correctly or you will all probably think I'm nuts Pam Oceangram! I remember that. Sadly, I remember parts of every.single.one of these posts people are mentioning. Iāve been a member since 1999. Yikes. I need to get a life. Ha. +1

I was part of the emoji war thread with ChickPea and Wholarmor Omg ChickPea! Anyone remember the epic length thread about farts that I'm pretty sure was started by ChickPea? Something about her "crop dusting" in the grocery store, and then everyone else joined in with their own stories?

Does anyone remember a guy who used to post. He had a blog, too, and was an IT guy from AZ IIRC. I think he stumbled in here for the photography board and got sucked into the NSBR and always had something good to add to the conversation. It was a time when everyone listed their cameras and lens in their signature and he listed a Fisher Price model along with his SLR. Didn't he have a beautiful pic of his from Manhattan as his profile pic? I think his name was Chris and he passed away.

With alllll the references to cherrymoon's famous drawing, I knew it was in my OLD saved threads and found it, but the person (just lizzy) and the fun drawing are gone. Still a very fun, old ( Nov. 2016) thread to read (started by cherrymoon) : 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/52039/hello-old-peas

I remember a thread where we were talking about things we liked about ourselves (I think that was the topic) and someone saying she was born with a sense of well-being. I was envious of that, as I'm basically the opposite--born with a sense of doom that I've been fighting my entire life. Does anyone remember the pea, on this very board, who was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer and decided to forego treatment, against the will of her family and friends? I remember reading that on my phone when I was riding the train to work, and I wanted to remember who she was. She was comfortable with her decision and I just wanted to check in with her once in awhile, but I couldn't remember who it was or remember the thread title. I regret that I didn't. I remember that pea, but I cannot remember her name. I've tried to find her post several times with no luck.

I remember "oblio" who was a stoner dude(?) and would only come into certain threads at certain times, but I can't for the life of me remember what his criteria was, or even if he was real or an alter.

Only on page 13 but a few things poped into my head... My pea time started right when we came together and won a wedding for a couple she was getting married again or something and (couple was legit and deserved to win I believe) there was some controversy with the wedding website (canāt think of that popular wedding mag name)
Also another memory, was there mention of a football website and a board clash with them? How about the glitter leggings something or other ongoing soap opera-ish thread. Canāt remember how that started but was so funny. Us BB peas prayed to santaganstergod or something like that š Iāll think of more Iām sure. Loving my Friday night epic pea reading! Feels like old times!!

Another one that popped into my mind was a newlywed on her honeymoon who had locked herself into her hotel bathroom because she realized she'd married an abusive, controlling man. She was in another country on the honeymoon and was terrified. She kept posting from the bathroom. I don't remember what happened after that.

Mrs. Smarty Pants did a weekly sum up of what happened on two peas. I.e. this week a dog stole baby Jesus from a manger and a pea was seen yelling bring back the Saviour. Another pea was livid that she punched a wall because she didnāt get her turkey dinner as she was promised. Another pea had a blizzard and needed cash and gas. Another pea hand an inconsiderate MIL and wanted a recently reupholstered chair returned to her. This was my favourite part of the week. Anyone else remember this? I Loved those weekly updates! They were so funny and I post something just to get in the wrap-up.

It was right before the boards closed I think.

I remember that someone created a nasty board that was used to roast the peas. They mocked everyone! I can't remember what it was called. It was called the Smack Blog and it was allegedly created by a pea named Beth who died. She did start the blog. I canāt remember how I found out about that, but it was was her.

Oh, carp, who am I thinking of? Longish brown hair, thin, one daughter. She came back, wrote about changes in her life, but didnāt stick around long. She was a frequent poster on the old board. Tangent: there was somebody else who came back for a short time. Single, Chicago, regaled us with stories about a mysterious āMr. Darcyā from her work building she had a stranger crush on. She left suddenly because of online security concerns, deleted all her posts, came back a couple years later and said everything was fine, posted up a storm for a couple days, and disappeared again. I want to say āDelilahā but I also think that could be totally wrong... I think her name was Bemis or something like that. I remember who youāre talking about. The country music pea mentioned who had the bff having an affair with her not so dh loved Chris Young, who wasnāt well known at the time but has made a name for himself in recent years. I keep thinking about crafterbeth who ran marathons. I think she was from Nova Scotia and had stopped posting before the board closed. No controversy just a pea I enjoyed. This is has been quite the walk down memory lane. For a lot of the early stuff I was a lurker. I was very active on the CKMB and used to go to 2ps when it was quiet at CK but the peas terrified me! I liked Crafterbeth too, She was a great scrapper, fellow Canadian and I found her marathon postings very inspiring. She also taught me how to tie a pair of runners the right way for my feet. Other peas piled on her about her running and she left, and I lost track of her when I was ill. anyone remember something about zebra leggings and sequins and going to a. Family reunion to get cozy with a cousin? Weird eh?

I didn't post too much on 2peas, and when I did it was mostly on the Photography and Scrapping boards.
I got sucked into NSBR when I discovered the Big Brother Live Feed threads. I mostly lurked on NSBR, but I do remember there were two women I really enjoyed interacting with:
Squillen, the cookie lady. I always thought she was so sweet and I was so sad that she was run off the board. It was all so petty and mean.
Gina Miller, a New Jersey girl who married an NYC firefighter and posted the most beautiful digital layouts of her family. She had a very interesting blog that I looked forward to reading every day (and I'm not really into blogs). I guess she was really beat up on The Blog, so she decided to leave 2peas and made her blog private. I think she may be a digital designer on another website, but I don't scrap anymore so I haven't followed her.
