Does anyone remember the pea that I want to say was Canadian and adopted twins and posted some thread once asking how to stick to a shopping budget of like, $6000 a month or something insane?? Like, it was a real struggle for her. I think she was trying to breastfeed the adopted babies if that rings a bell? I remember actually getting angry when she said she donated all toys given to her kids if they were electric or had batteries. Super pretentious and sure to damage the children in some regard.

A pea I sometimes wonder about is TeachnPea, I think her name was. I loved the crafts she would share. She got engaged and started planning her wedding, and I recall her asking advice on logistics of a video game arcade reception. Then she just..stopped posting.

IIRC the whitewater rafting photo was a stock photo, and the HOF rules said you had to use a photo that you took yourself. I think the picture was one that somebody took of her going over rapids. The rules were that the picture had to be taken by the person doing the layout submission. Since she was in the picture she couldn’t have taken it. She tried to explain how she had the camera on the side of the bank and it was on some timer. Yeah, right. This was it! It wasn't a stock photo. She was in the picture... but claimed she set up a tripod and a self timer before heading down the rapids and magically caught the picture at just the right time. LOL It's really too ridiculous to even say out loud, but there ya go! I remember Kristen who *always* typed like *this*. Lots of fun memories reading through these pages! Thena was a sweetheart. She was into digital scrapping when I first started doing that in late 2004 (that's how I found 2Peas!)

Was it here that there was a well-known member that was a pagan or something & outed as a fraud in some way? I’m remembering a stunning profile picture in a red gown. Yes!!! I totally remember that!

I remember that even the super sleuth peas haven’t figured why David Holmes did that he was in Tiger Beat and 16 magazines AND haven’t found out what he is doing now. omg! I read an article recently about someone named David Holmes and I thought of that thread!

How about Princess Lasertron (sp?) who made bouquets of flowers out of buttons...? They were really pretty!
I remember libis w/ the kidney transplant. Does anyone know how she is?
Fern... I think was a lawyer?

Scrappower, I believe was the name. That was so interesting. I really wish I knew all the back story.
I remember a person named Melissa, I think, that had some kind of donation thing going to go pick up a dog from another state. I vaguely remember reading page after page after page about the drama that ensued and knew this site was just crazy enough to call home.
Yes! Scrapower! I can’t remember exactly what happened but it seemed like a shocker at the time. Yes....there was some drama surrounding why she left.

Oh her name is on the tip of my tongue - starts with a P I think? PDR who morphed into something else. Very talented but sad too. Wasn't PDR Fleur's daughter? Or do I have that totally wrong? My most memorable introduction into 2 Peas (and internet nastiness) was a big fight raging (don't remember over what) between the first incarnation of Lauren and PDR.

If I remember, she posted a picture saying it was of her at a Wiccan wedding or something, but it didn’t take long for the Peas to figure out it was an internet photo. I think where shit went south was when she was called out on it, instead of fessing up and moving on, she doubled down and got nasty. Yes!!! That was it!!!

I think was a lawyer? PrincessLasertron started a clothing boutique with a business partner, killed it as an AirBnB Hostess, and then decided to run for her state House of Representatives, and won, this past November. Lizz is online as “More than Thursdays” if you want to check in with her. She’s a Social Media professional so I think it’s ok to share that here. Fern isn’t here to my knowledge but I can tell her peas said “hi.” ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

A random thread I remember was from a woman who was so angry with her very young teen DD who would get blood on her underwear during her period and she was calling her DD names, saying she was a little pig and there’s no excuse for even a drop of blood. She, rightfully so, got blasted, but that story stuck with me. I don’t think I had ever heard someone speak so harshly about their child doing something that happens to most of us. Her tone was so vile I worried about that poor little girl.

Oh wow, I remember 99% of what's posted here! What a good trip down memory lane. I remember the old WW threads, where I posted along with other regulars: Brandy, Virginia, Rita (not here anymore, I don't think), Angela, and Patter was there, too! I really loved that group. I need something similar to it in my life these days. Does anyone remember the Pea who was a teenage mom who married very young-- her husband was in the military? They ended up having a couple of kids and she did an amazing job of fixing up an older home. I remember being so impressed by how far she had come and how she had literally grown up on the boards. I think around when I first started here, Vanessa & Kelli had a huge presence on the boards. I think Vanessa still pops in and out every once in awhile. This thread should be saved for historical purposes.

OMG I so miss her. From the classic thread seeking advice from "toilet paper peas" (as if there might be some of us who are like, "TP? No bruh, I'm good") to the fifty threads seeking advice on decorating her second mountain home to the multiple decluttering threads countered by just as many food prep/stash hoarding threads, to the ones about ironing the crotch of thrift store underwear to kill any bugs, she was my favorite pea. Breathing...in and out, or out and in? How to unclog the sink in my mountain home? How many rolls of toilet paper should I keep in my mountain home? How big is your toilet paper stash? How can I declutter? I am pretty sure she made a thread asking how to make hamburgers, too. Literally how to make the patties. She was a hoot. Yeah, I think it was something along the lines of 'How do you make out your burgers?'. She was pretty much running solo with using that phrase and the Peas had a ball of fun with it. (and if this has been answered upthread, I apologize. I took a little break and I'm now 3 pages behind. Feels like the OLD PEAS!)

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.

There was also a lady that went by V that owned, or worked with a dog rescue, and would post a lot of dogs that needed adopted. I miss her posts. That was Vix. Her photos of shelter puppies were amazing. She was so committed and I have often wondered about her and her rescue efforts.

Goodness I remember all these stories. I was a lurker, I posted something that I can't even remember now and someone said something nasty and I was totally turned off. I have a thin skin still. LOL 2peas wasn't a year old when I joined. I came from aol scrap forums & croppers cottage. I remember a gal I think she lived in the north east who had a really cute little kid with curly brown hair who and lived in a really cute house. I think she was into using an old press to make engraved wedding cards/invitations. I always liked her. Can't think of her name. At one point in time she had something like pb&j as a name but she may have changed that before she stopped posting.

I remember cherrymoon's (?) drawings. So funny! And another pea who could take a sample of anyone's handwriting and turn it into a type-able font. I never got around to making mine. Pam Amanda did. Kevin and Amanda

I started at dMarie also. I was very active there and had lots of friends I made on that board. I went to 2Peas after dMarie closed down and I was mostly a lurker. I'm a lurker here too but I sure do remember so many of the things! Fun times, fun times. LOL

I remember someone being less than kind when the 22/7 attacks happened, and pretty much said that those socialists deserved that. The youngest victim had celebrated her 14th birthday the day prior......
