Some of the REALLY Old Posters I Miss

Starfish? Would always break out the vacuum cleaner and start cleaning loudly when skids came to visit to drown out the cries of "daaaaadddddddeeeeeee" that would go on 24/7. She also bought everything disposable to eat off of. No more silverware thrown away in the trash or broken dishes for her.

Endora and the tales of "Zippy" her SS who was literally sucking his thumb and riding around in shopping carts at age 11 with his long legs bent beneath him.

Elizabeth and her forever narcissistic and enmeshed-with-SD DH. Her DH practically ignored her and her DDs from DH.

Tales of "Baby It's Cold Outside" being sung in a duet with DH and his miniwife SD.
(not sure who that was)

I haven't been around long enough to recognize those names. I miss the recently banned members. Echo, FormerAAGirl, etc.

Just not the same here without them.

Steptalk went through and removed multiple members who were turning quite aggressive boarding on abusive with their comments and replies. In this some possible good ones did get caught up and removed which does suck. However I did experience one of these posters that other's may fondly remember.

There was one poster who ALWAYS went on my stuff ranting about how I was a homewrecker because my partner is currently married. Ignored the fact that BM kicked him out, has dated 10 other guys while she was cheating on him the whole time they were married, and they were in the process of divorce.

This was the only thing they would say over and over again on every single one of my post. No matter what and there was never anything else from them.

No amount of information was good enough to her. I was an evil home wrecker and she was sure to take over every single one of my post to share that information. It didn't matter how many times before she had done it. It's like she sat there waiting for me to post so she could go off. Even other users told her to stop. I started deleting her comments but still it didn't stop. For months after I joined it was this way. That is unneeded harassment type behavior in my mind.

It's fine to disagree with someone but if I'm asking about how to potty train a 4 year old I don't need to be told I'm a home wrecker like just the week before when I talked about sending the kids to camp.

I can only guess.

I do understand to a point but the fact that this poster wouldn't let off.

BM was the homewrecker in my case. I didn't even know SO while he was with her. I met him months after she left him basically homeless. He was rebuilding and had just moved out of his friends place into his own. There was no way he was going back to her. In my eyes for our daily life he is divorced from her.

I was married and even without fighting it took us almost a year to complete our divorce and it only happened then because my ex's parents paid for it finally. SO in this case has been working on his divorce for a year now while BM has been a complete ass. If she hadn't pulled the crap she has been since the start they would have been divorced by May BUT we're still finding out ways she's lied and having to add things to the paperwork. Its costing her a ton while we're just building up evidence for him to later take her back for change of custody.

Again the first few times I was willing to explain how our situation really was but it was the repeated unrelenting stalker like behavior that took this into harassment like areas.

I saw her on other peoples post and I was able to see how she did give good advice when she wanted to. I even agreed with her sometimes but she wouldn't back off of me. I don't know if she did the same to anyone else.

Wow... yeah that's not helpful. Especially in a place that is supposed to be judgement neutral!

I'm still here, lol! Although I don't get the invasion EOW any more thankfully as my SDs are now 21 and 22. They are coming over on Boxing Day, (26th Dec) but I only get them here about twice a year for a meal.

So funny, I was recently going through some old ST pages that I have stored in Evernote and saw DitzyBlonde, sueu2, Echo, StepAside and several others...I do miss much about them all....

Wifeypoo's picture

Yep, I miss all of them as well.

Ditzy had the most entertaining style of writing....

oh her stories were epic. gravy chugging, pbr swillin', denver worshipping, trucker-hat wearing, radio-show contributing case of COMPLETE AND UTTER classlessness.

I thought that was Ladyface's BM? Although I'm sure there's room for more than one nasty BM in Cathole Holler.

OMG, I loved Starfish. She was so cynical and funny. I was pretty new in my relationship back then and I wished I had the guts to do what she did. Remember she was trying to "fake it till I make it", and "the high road gives me a f***ing nosebleed".

Also Unfreakingreal, ubrngoutdbitchnme, Flabby in PA (or something like that again), Tog, caregiver, Asher, Stormabruin, Snarky01 among others.

I miss Storma, for sure. FlabbergastedinPA, though? Nope.

I know for a fact that much of what she told us was a lie.

Oh it gets even better! SS15 had one of his friends over this weekend. This kid has more issues than Time Magazine: autism, ADHD, ODD, OCD. He attracts the good ones. Anywho this boy must need reminding to use the toilet too but we didn't KNOW that.

SoooOOOooo I woke up Sunday morning and what should appear but a wash cloth...covered in POOP!!

I have never seen so much number 2 in all my flipping life. *rapideyetwitch*

Have you considered building a stable out back, letting syndrome on steroids boy go au naturel; having DH rake up the "used" straw afterwards?

Cooooookies's picture

LMAO!!! I think I'd prefer to ship the "used straw" to BM2. To remind her of just how precious her little snowflake really is...

Ahh yes. Red-faced Magee described OSS to a tee. . .Total Ginger whose school colours used to be orange. There he was at age 10, dressed in a Borat-like orange wrestlers outfit; blobs of white fat bubbling out in folds. Chef was trying to give him pointers (of course Chef didn't realize OSS was beer-bonging the PAS foolaid at the time) OSS started to shake with rage, turn bright red (which contrasted interestingly with his orange outfit and brick red hair) and screamed out in the very large gym of intramurals "I HAAATE YOUUUUU!!!!!!" which echoed off the packed to the rafters gym walls. The place turned so quiet you could hear your socks drop. All eyes riveted to OSS who was having a PAS meltdown. The Girhippo and clan were in the first row smirking away.

Her DH had moved out with potato to that trailer... but ended up moving back in with Jasper, because potato was sent to live with the grandparents.

Last time I talked to her, her and dh were getting into dating again.

mommadukes2015's picture

Oh good for her! I hope she's well!!!

From what I remember her DH wasn't bad, it mostly potato.

I actually came here to check on some people that I don't know IRL. I looks like those people haven't been here in a long time either.
