I found the old "Can't Sleep" thread and bumped it for you, you restless sleepless souls, you.

I thought we had one already. Good work.

[bunnyb]

did that make anyone else think of the zombie at the closing of the buffy credits?

"Zzzzzz ... argh: the scary things that go bump in the night and disturb my sleep thread"

[treehugger]

Kewl. I'm glad for the positive responses! Now to find a title (I do LOVE "unsleeping beauties")...but something more suited to general sleep disorders?? Anybody?

Wombat, I'm liking that one as well!

I'm just thinking, myself.... a title like this:

ZZZzzzzz......(snork) (gasp)

Popullar vote rules!

[pepper]

unsleeping beauties! i'd post in there for sure. betcha chachaheels would add some of her awesome wisdom as well. i say start 'er up!

[wombat]

Are you tired? Cause you've been running through my mind all night!


bm! ch!

[maddy29]

katie, i wonder if you'd come into the troll thread to talk about the nicey nice to avoid confrontation thing....cause there are a few of us who are confused about that, and are wondering what that really means? thanks.

i'm stoned in public all the time, it's not so bad

[erinjane]

I like the sleep issues idea. I say start it up.

[bunnyb]

maybe ... if I knew what that was! I'm having nightmares and napping in afternoon because mind is exhausted from being active whilst sleeping at night so general sleep issues would be good.

[pollystyrene]

Maybe we could have a general sleep issues thread? I'm having issues with sleep apnea, and it would be nice to see if anyone else here is dealing with it.

[bunnyb]

treehugger, I think someone (sassygrrl?) suggested an insomnia thread a while back but it doesn't appear to have been started. I may not post much but I'm up for an unsleeping beauties thread.

[treehugger]

LOL on the stonings....

I've just done a search of the site for insomnia...and it seems we don't have a thread about it. It also seems like we've got a few Busties who suffer from it (me included)

So I'm wondering if there's any interest in a thread dealing with insomnia and various ways to overcome it?

[wombat]

All right you guys, this is reminding me of Life of Brian when the men dressed up as women who were dressing up as men "Get your fake beards here!" in order to attend the public stoning.

[pepper]

hee hee, publicly stoned! *snort*. sorry, you know i live in hippie land. that just struck me as so funny!

[katiebelle2882]

Where did she go? I wonder how long she's been around. Her profile says she registered in Oct. That childfree thing was awhile ago now wasnt it?

In any case, personally, I don't think shes a troll, just someone who maybe should have phrased things differently. Or gotten her facts straight at the very least.

There are some very interesting thoughts on this matter in the busting trolls thread. I do agree with the blatant attempt to be nice thing, not directed at pepper necessarily, but i think a whole bunch of people are fake nice in order to not be crucified here.

i wish she hadnt said things like that to you pepper though.

[doodlebug]

Wow, I'm just caught up on this, and I have to say, I'm leaning towards the Troll designation.

POfeminist, I am one of the people who had some of the biggest disagreements and harsh words over the childfree discussion, and I have to say, your comments in the moms thread and over here are uncalled for, not to mention having zero place in the context of the conversation(s). I don't believe any bustie deserves to be publicly stoned like that.

[roseviolet]

Criticism is one thing. Flogging is another. I think POFeminist's responses were brutal .... not just because they were filled with false information and assumptions, but because the tone was absolutely uncalled for.

I understand that POFeminist has been playing Peeping Tom on these boards for a while, lurking in our threads and reading our thoughts. That makes her think that she knows us and that she is familiar enough to speak frankly. But she has clearly forgotten that we don't know her, so her opinion carries no weight with us whatsoever. I can understand this. A lot of newbies have made this mistake before. And ordinarily I am inclined to forgive and forget, but the cruelty of her words and tone ... those are things I will not be forgetting any time soon.

Obviously she does not know us as well as she assumes, since she spewed so much false information about Pepper in the Bust Moms thread. Perhaps she will learn from this? One can only hope. But she now has a looooooong long road to walk before she'll be accepted as a member of this community.

Since you're so happy to give out advice, POFeminist, perhaps you'll take some from me. Create a new screen name and start from scratch. Perhaps you can start off on the right foot next time. And perhaps, with any luck at all, you won't end up putting that foot in your mouth.

[pollystyrene]

Yeah, way to make a first impression- this is worse than treelizard or whatever her name was.

Trust me, I was one of the people who's had issues with Pepper, in the Childfree By Choice thread issue a few weeks ago, but I would never make assumptions/accusations or talk to another Bustie that way you did, PO. We don't always agree on stuff, and some of us are more sensitive about stuff than others (see my posts in Kvetch last night), but this was uncalled for. I don't care how long you say you've lurked around here- you're either completely oblivious to social mores to think it's okay to come in here like that or just plain rude. My guess is a little from column A and a little from column B.

My advice- reel in the judgmental attitude more than a little and try to make amends with those you've pissed off. Or just go away, y'know, whatever.

[pherber]

What she just wrote here was inapprpriate, too: "blatant attempt to be liked"
How rude can someone be?

[erinjane]

Geez, pepper, I just read what she said to you. Totally innapropriate. I think I'm gonna have to use the ignore function on this one too.
