cafe mom

[nursingmotherof2]

has any one gone to cafe mom? i have.. oh what a boring site i couldn't even set up my profile and the moms there are not as nice here i cant even get one word in there to talk to them. the moms there don`t even say hi to you. i did not like it there. i just wanted to see what it was like i made my account and i deleted it the same day it was just not my stile. this is my favorite site i love the mothers here and helping others that need it you all are good friends but there you do not get the same treatment. i asked for help and they ignore me and i told them i was new and nothing it was like i was not there.:mad::(

[Teresa64]

I set up an account there...but yea, boring. Never went back

[married_bears]

I'm glad you enjoy it here, but I fail to see how putting down the other site is going to endear you to those on bf.com. We have only recently come through a major board split so divisiveness is something that leave a lot of us raw.

what do you mean married bears?:(

[JustMoi]

She means that putting down another site, regardless of reason, is bad form. You just don't DO that. It's rude.

[married_bears]

Honest question - Do I speak in riddles? I thought I was pretty plain. Do I need to explain better? I know I'm a talker but I don't want to frustrate those that read what I am writing.

What in the world has gotten into you? You have become so damn rude since you have been back. I am really surprised and disgusted with your attitude as of late. It is very unbecoming.

[married_bears]

Don't ask me to write in net speak, with no punctuation or capitalization and spell check off it will drive me out of my mind.:p

You are definitely reading me wrong I am genuinely concerned that I'm difficult to understand.

[Bellaelle]

It isn't just this thread or post in question, MB. It is something I have picked up on in many of your posts as of late.

[HammBugga]

I haven't noticed MB being rude.

I don't like cafemom because of all those characters and crap they have in their sigs. i also have a hard time reading posts in different colors.

[Nipple_nectar]

Honest question - Do I speak in riddles? I thought I was pretty plain. Do I need to explain better? I know I'm a talker but I don't want to frustrate those that read what I am writing.

I am kind of surprised at you too and would agree that it is not just in this thread. I almost asked you the same question in the circumcision thread.

[married_bears]

Bella I know I angered you when you perceived that my trying to help a fellow Christian got heated and that may currently be tainting the words I'm writing. I do know that yes I did attack Drama with her attack on Earthmama with a mere capitalized shut up and examples of Earthmama's good efforts as a mother, but other than that I continue to make an effort to help others. I am most definitely speaking up more and commenting when I see things I have issue with. Maybe because I just feel a bit more comfortable with everyone than I have in the past. I'm sorry that we are not on the same page right now feel free to PM me or even bring in it the open. I will try to be as open and honest as possible.

[pawprint]

I haven't seen any problems with married bears either, fwiw. I don't think that response about speaking in riddles was meant to be snarky. I think it was genuine.

[HammBugga]

I don't think MB was rude in the circumcision thread. A little prudish and indignant, yes, but not overly rude or cruel.

[Bellaelle]

There is nothing with wrong with being open and honest. However, being snarky and condescending are two different things. I am very blunt and honest, but I try to do it with some sense of decorum.

[Nipple_nectar]

Well, using the phrase, "Do I speak in riddles" is rather rude, IMHO.

This person is new and maybe isn't even aware of what our definition of a board split is and just asked for clarification, politely, I might add.

[married_bears]

I am kind of surprised at you too and would agree that it is not just in this thread. I almost asked you the same question in the circumcision thread.


Hmmm noted. Don't know what to say other than KaraJ and I have tangled before and the topic of circumcision having been exercised many times before got on my nerves. Especially with the weak points that were being made.

[Nipple_nectar]

I don't think MB was rude in the circumcision thread. A little prudish and indignant, yes, but not overly rude or cruel.

Exactly, prudish and indignant is a good choice of words. I am having trouble reading the blue print too, FWIW. I blamed it on my tired, old eyes.

[married_bears]

Honest question - Do I speak in riddles? I thought I was pretty plain. Do I need to explain better? I know I'm a talker but I don't want to frustrate those that read what I am writing.

When you read this in context it is not rude. I was asking a genuine question that I was concerned about my writing being cryptic.

If I have been short with newbies I apologize and will be more aware of it in the future.

[pawprint]

I still don't think it was rude. Not sure what I missed in the circ thread though.

[Nipple_nectar]

I'm sorry, I really got the impression you wanted to be snarky. I think asking for clarification on a message board would be par for the course at times. In order to be an effective communicator, replying without snark is always a bonus:)

I am glad you are open for discussion:)

[nursingmotherof2]

yes iam new to this so sorry if i mad any one mad! i was just stateing how i feel about one site that i went to and i brought my feelings here to have something to talk about so if you cant post thing up like that then just let me no but not in a rude way iam a very nice person to talk to! i dont no to much of a bored split or what ever it was so i was just posting my feeling on that site so feel free to post yours.

[MiMi_of_4]

I'm going to address this even though I think you are probably a troll. It's rude to comment on other sites; and as a contributing member of that other site, I'm offended.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Welcome, nursingmom!

[Nipple_nectar]

I still don't think it was rude. Not sure what I missed in the circ thread though.

This is a quote from MB in HIJKMommys thread about circumcision: " I so wish I could go anon for this this especially after my comments, but I own my words. Here is a site that shares about regrowth of foreskin.

http://www.circumstitions.com/Restore.html"

Now, the only thing I can figure is she wished she hadn't told HIJKMommy that it was creepy to talk about a grown mans penis then she provides us with, woah, a very detailed link. A very informative link, I might add, if you ever wished you wanted to know how to stretch your penis. Me, not so much.

But why the need to go anon? I was gonna ask her to clarify but I just moved on. I can't see why she would want to hide her identity for that?

I didn't say she was rude, I was just puzzled by her behavior. It just didn't seem like her usual self, is all.

It was very personal and I did not wanted to embarrass myself or anyone else by suggesting that maybe their DH could get some (clears throat) relief for a strained erection. I felt bad that anyone would suffer because of circ. I still feel uncomfortable knowing the state of anyones penis so I guess my shyness about the subject came off as rude. I'm sorry.

sorry but iam not a troll i dont lie. i didnot no stating how you feel about something was bad but in my book it called freedom of speech so thats what i did and if you realy think like that of me then pm me and i can tack care of that of but like i said i was telling you how i feel and if you dont like it thats to bad sorry!;)

Well, I do. I have not read the circ thread. I am assuming it is the usual.

MB, I was not angered by you in the Christian thread. I was genuinely surprised by your posts . You have always seemed like a nice person, but the posts I am seeing this time around do not seem like you.

I wish I knew better how to respond to this, but I don't. I honestly thought in most cases I was doing far less of the judgmental thing and I may be mistaken. Maybe it is judgmental to point out judgment. I don't know. I will take all you have shared under consideration. ((Bella))

[Teresa64]

Punctuation and capitalization helps. Makes reading easier. (Not being snarky its just really hard to read your posts.)

Teresa, your post didn't offend me. You've been posting here for a long time, so I read your post for what it was ~ a comment that you found another board less exciting than this one.

However, a relatively new poster bashing another board for conversation's sake doesn't sit well with me, or other long-time posters. Cafe was set up originally as a back-up board for this one and is a sister board now, so someone who is unaware of the history talking about it negatively does not make me happy.

[Bellaelle]

I might be wrong, but I don't think she is talking about Cafelaleche or did they change their name? It has been so long since I have been there! I need to go check it out again. Plus, the ladies at cafelaleche are sweet and not rude.

[MiMi_of_4]

You may be right, Bella! I'm getting ready to pm you :)

No, Cafe Mom and Cafe La Leche are not the same.

Yes I thought she was speaking of our sister site at first and checked the site prior to commenting to make sure I was not mistaken.

[dalurker]

Mimi, are you talking about Cafe Le Leche(?) or Cafe Mom(s?)? Aren't they two different things? I didn't know the Cafe Mom(s) one was a spin-off of bfdc, but I'll admit that I'm not all that knowledgeable about all things bfdc related.

I had a friend invite me to Cafe Mom(s) (silly her!).

[SuperMeredith]

[married_bears]

No Mogey was a long time poster covering several different names and boards. And being a regular in chat does not make you a troll. From the resident Mogey expert. LOL

[nursingmotherof2]

the cafe mom i was talking about is www.cafemom.com it a place like myspace but for moms to chat to other moms i never heard of cafemom la leacha ?

[SuperMeredith]

Oh I know, but I seem to remember people defending mogey, the husband and wife that were TTC, because they spent a lot of time in chat, and we all know now that Mogey was, indeed, a troll. I know it doesn't make this OP a troll, but it doesn't mean they're not one, either. Like I said, I don't have an opinion either way.

I thought she was talking about Cafe la Leche and took offense at that (and own that error), but still think talking poorly about another site is uncalled for.

[married_bears]

Yeah we all have tried to defend Mogey at one time or another.:happy:

[JudyJudyJudy]

I do agree that starting a thread about another site, especially as a new poster, is in poor taste.

The only time I saw Mogey being defended is when she was Cateyes. Before all that was a freakin free for all.

Cafe Mom is not a spin off of here, it's a spin off of sybermoms.

OP- No one is mad at you, they were just trying to gently let you know that it is in poor taste to talk shit about another site. Especially on a board where there are dual posters.

I really don't care much about proper grammar and or punctuation, as long as your posts are readable. However, they are verging on unreadable at this point. Please use a period every now and then and if you want to talk about knowing something it is K-N-O-W. :)

[JudyJudyJudy]

Cafe Mom is a spinoff of Sybermoms? I've never heard that.

[MiMi_of_4]

Cafe Mom is a spinoff of Sybermoms? I've never heard that.

I didn't know that either.

[HammBugga]

Yeah. Some of the members there wanted a lighter place to go, where people were nicer. At least that's the explanation I have heard from some of the founding members.

[HammBugga]

No, they don't. Not to mention the fact that they are concerned about a part that very few people will ever see. And even fewer people will see a man's and his son's penis.

[married_bears]

No, they don't. Not to mention the fact that they are concerned about a part that very few people will ever see. And even fewer people will see a man's and his son's penis.

[Bellaelle]

Hamm, are you thinking of U of Mom? Is that what the spin off from Sybermom's is called?

[HammBugga]

Oh my bad! Yeah I thought we were talking about u of mom.

[nikkifaith]

I think saying mb no longer seems like a nice person is much meaner than anthing I have seen mb say. You are fooling yourself if you think you are any more decorus than mb, bella. I have seen you be plenty nasty. You become scathing quite quickly when you perceive you have been wronged.

[Sunnie]

Honest question - Do I speak in riddles? I thought I was pretty plain. Do I need to explain better? I know I'm a talker but I don't want to frustrate those that read what I am writing.

I agree Nikki. I've not seen MB saying anthing nearly as bad as what Bella said back IRT being disgusted by MB lately. That's just mean.

[Bellaelle]

You might want to read my post again. I never said she disgusted me, I said her recent attitude disgusted me. I am not personally attacking her. I was making an observation of a posting style that was not like her. She never came across as snarky in the past.

[Sunnie]

Again Bella, you are being way ruder than MB has ever been. I don't get it. If what she said is all that bad, isn't your behaviour reacting to it just as bad?

[Bellaelle]

Like I said, it was not just this thread that prompted my post.

[Sunnie]

Yes, I am aware of that. I still don't see how she deserved what you said on this thread.

[married_bears]

Bella if I did something to anger you I would welcome us working it out. It appears that you may still maintain that I am unrepentant in some way of addressing someone. Please let's deal with it so we may move on. I thought I was making some headway, but it appears that you are still bothered by something and it seems quite specific. Please no more generalities so that we can mend things.

[Bellaelle]

No need to thank me. I have always liked you and was just a bit taken back, but I know you are a good person.

I just read the circ thread and I don't see anything wrong with what MB said. Not rude, not snarky. Just matter of fact.

I thought she was talking about Cafe la Leche and took offense at that (and own that error), but still think talking poorly about another site is uncalled for.

I do agree with that.

Proper grammar is much loved here. If you guys don't like people picking on the way you post then you should change. If you don't want to change then get used to not being taken seriously.

We are having a hard time understanding you! We're not just bitching for entertainment.

Also, posting about other sites is not looking for help. If you sincerely were asking for help your grammar might be tolerated more. You are just posting to hear yourself type, and yet you cannot slow down enough to use the correct words. For instance:

"Grammar doesn't mean anything when you are trying to get some help. It doesn't mean someone is a troll either. If you want to see trolls go to xyz, but don't call me a troll when I am looking for advice."

You know what? You're starting to annoy me. I'm sure you'll say you don't care and that's fine but if you want help, we need to understand what it is that you're asking.

At least make an attempt. Surely you have enough sense for that.

[maksmom]

Punctuation and captialization will go a long way here.

[Bohemian]

It's not your English and everyone has the occasional spelling and grammar errors. I think most are finding the "net speak" and slang annoying. This isn't chat and people communicate properly. Drop the net speak, install a spell check, and talk normally and people will respond better.

[Tweet]

I do agree that starting a thread about another site, especially as a new poster, is in poor taste.


I think it is, too and I didn't see MB's post as being rude, especially when she explained she was being genuine and not snarky. She seems , to me, a little more outspoken since she came back, but not rude or mean. No more than any of us, anyway. Sometimes people get passionate, but I've not seen her get ugly to anyone other than Mogey .

[Bohemian]

Another thing nursingmomof2,
If you've ever posted on any sort of message board you will know that each is unique with their own dynamics and board etiquette. It would be best if you'd just stop starting multiple threads and get a "feel" for the board. If you did that you'd know that people, in general, don't like multiple random threads started by the same person within a short period of time because it's considered trollish.

What people are saying is that it's hard to understand posts that have no punctuation . Also, speaking and typing aren't the same thing. It's not because of an accent that people might have a hard time understanding. It's the no punctuation. I've had to read your posts several times to try to decipher them. I'm not trying to be mean, just explain why people may have a hard time understanding you.

Holy fuck! As difficult as it was for me, I previously refrained from commenting on your horrible grammar, punctuation, and spelling. However, when you come up with this kind of bullshit, I can’t hold back. I’m from rural South Central Georgia. Regardless of how we spoke there (and here in NW Georgia, too, for that matter), we were taught proper grammar, and we knew that our spoken words weren’t proper. Likewise, my husband grew up in Bronx, NY (yes, the ghetto), and he also can write and speak correctly.

You truly need to come up with some better excuses than this. You’re being absolutely ridiculous. A person doesn’t type with an accent.

I let my son read the first post in your “I need some help” thread, and he was flabbergasted. He went through correcting your post. He’s in fourth grade and the son of someone who grew up in the Podunk South and someone who grew up in the South Bronx. Go figure.

Ummm NMo2 not to be mean or anything but
I am originally from RI and have been living in CT for years (not always living in the best areas) but I don't talk or write like you do.

The best way to get the help you need is for your words to be clearly written.
I work for a man who has moderate dyslexia and I have an easier time understanding what he writes than what you are writing.

I KNOW that that wasn't the way you were taught in school.

Not from Texas, but I can't go much further South without getting wet. About 20 minutes and I'll have to start swimming. I do not type how I talk. I use slang in my speech that is localized to my region, but I do not slang speak here. I do type y'all, but I don't go around saying stuff like "You shuda seen 'er...tumpt that cup riiight on over unta the fla" or what have you.

My grandfather was born in rural Florida and now lives in CT. He would visibly cringe and refuse to read another word if he ever read one of your posts. He is very eloquent. Must say a lot for a rural south man transplanted into your little ghetto. I shall now forever be amazed at all he had to overcome to learn to speak like a "narmul parsun".



I didn't accept papers like that from 4th graders, Boho.

I wouldn't accept essay questions or journal entries from my middle school music appreciation students when they wrote like that.

I would love to say that I didn't have students who wrote as badly as nmof2, but I did. A few were even worse. Since their papers weren't usually typed, I never had a clue what some said, but I even had some who wrote things like "IDK" and "2" (for "to") in their formal papers.

[QuiltyConscience]

Quilty, Can you imagine their family fights or just them laughing and hanging out? I miss my sister.

yes, yes I can imagine. I lived in the dorm with the deaf girls in college.You would think deaf people make for quiet neighbors. They don't.

Wait, what? Where are we at? A ghetto in Hartford. Alrighty then.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Quilty, those are hilarious!

A friend of mine married a man who is deaf. For a while after getting married, she and he tried to do things with the deaf community, but even he saw that the others weren't very accepting of his wife, so they stopped participating. :(

I got IDK, 2, and u a lot from them. I did at least get punctuation, and most of them would capitalize the majority of their sentences. I must admit, their grammar was way worse before they started getting assignments back and saw that it had to get better if they wanted a passing grade.

[QuiltyConscience]

Er...uh...kinda. I was wondering what "voice" people heard when I typed. Not what dialect I should type in.


And I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Are you hard of hearing, deaf, or hearing and an interpreter?

I'm hard of hearing. I worked as an Interpreter for years, and my hearing degenerated to the point that I required hearing aids. So then I was a 'terp with hearing aids.

My first day going in to work with hearing aids was really hard for me. I was really having a hard time dealing with my own hearing loss .

But the first student I had that day saw my hearing aids and just sat there staring at me, then started giggling. He laughed so hard that he fell out of his desk and lay on the floor, tears streaming down his face. I started to see the humor in it, and started giggling myself.

Of course this sort of put class at a standstill and the teacher and everybody else wanted to know what was so funny, so I explained what he was laughing at.

At first everyone was horrified that the kid would be laughing at me, but he wasn't laughing at me, he was just amused at the irony. Of all the people to need hearing aids, it was his interpreter.

[still_me]

yes, yes I can imagine. I lived in the dorm with the deaf girls in college.You would think deaf people make for quiet neighbors. They don't.


Oh no. Just because they are deaf doesn't mean they are quite. I was in shell shock when we brought my sister to Gallaudet. Not only was I 12 and just by walking through a door did I walk into another world, but man it was loud.

You wanna know my sister's favorite thing to do when we were younger and fighting? She'd close her eyes. Oh the bitch. LOL

Quilty, those are hilarious!

the Deaf community is hard to break into for hearing people. Even Interpreters have a hard time being fully accepted unless they are Children of Deaf Adults.

[still_me]

That is funny Quilty. At least that broke the ice for everyone.

I had a question to ask, but I didn't want to ask my sister because she is touchy in some spots because of being deaf. KWIM? Anyways, I was wondering if when deaf people think if they "hear" a voice inside their heads. Does that make sense? You know how when you talk you can "hear" yourself thinking? I wonder if they "hear" anything, or if they sign in their heads.

I don't know. I wonder that as well. I've had some totally Deaf people tell me they think/dream in ASL. For someone profoundly deaf , "voice" has no meaning; everything is visual. But for some hard of hearing people, they do hear voices and dream about people talking.

I am not a CODA, I'm a NERD (Not Even Related to Deaf). I am accepted, marginally, into the fringe of the Deaf community, but not as fully and unquestionably as a CODA would be.

I always have to give the "Deaf Intro", where you explain where you learned sign Language, why you became an Interpreter, who your teachers were, and any links to prominent Deaf people. It can be frustrating at times, but I wouldn't trade my experiences as an Interpreter for anything.
