GTKY Tuesday

[leahcar]

Let's see if we can get some activity over here...

1. Did you post on WP on theplacethatshallnotbenamed?  If so, what was your username?
2. Name one thing someone would never guess by looking at you?

[leahcar]

1. yes. rach
2. I'm a country music fan. I really don't listen to much of the new stuff, but people generally don't guess that the professional, multi-ethnicity woman LOVES twangy country. But I very much do!

[sammysam]

1. Nope. Just lurked.
2. I'm very shy. I feel uncomfortable in crowds and around people I don't know and I hate confrontation. I have been told by people who became friends of mine that my shyness can come off as me being stuck up.

[silvermelody]

1. Nope. I'm #new to WP but I did come over from The Other Place. I work full time.

2. I'm a huge nerd. I think I look like a generic white suburban lady.

[oldbaylover1024]

1. I sure did, and it was the same.

2. Hmmm... That I'm an accountant. I guess I'm more 'fun' than people assume an accountant could be LOL

[Risscaboobs]

1. Nope. I was a reg on GKU, but then kind of moved into lurkdom after DD was born for a while. SN hasn't changed though.
2. A lot of people think that I love being the center of attention because I am a very social person. Truthfully, though, I HATE IT, and it gives me a lot of anxiety.

[olenka]

1. Yes. Same name.
2. Hmmm....I enjoy heavy metal. It used to be a bit more of an all-encompassing lifestyle but now I am just a mom who listens to Slayer during my commute.

1. nope...was on GKU and IF most of the time. But then started doing foster care so went over there as well. And have our first placements as of end of January so all new to this still
2. not sure....I have many different hobbies that people wouldn't expect I guess.

[seamonster]

1) Yes, same name
2) I like doing hands on and mechanical work even.

[mustardseed2007]

1. Yes - same everything.

2. Um....I think by looking at me you'd never know that I work out as much as I do. Unfortunately.
I also studied Japanese for 5 years and can kind of speak it. Kind of.

[allthedrinks]

1. Yes. Same name different avatar.
2. I'm not sure. People I know professionally always seem surprised that I am a good cook. People I meet casually always seem surprised when I tell them what I do for a living.

1. Did you post on WP on theplacethatshallnotbenamed? If so, what was your username?
Nope. Lurked from time to time, though.

2. Name one thing someone would never guess by looking at you?
I got my BS in horse training. And business management but people are often surprised by the horse training thing if they don't know me. I don't look "equestrian" enough?

[mamascarlett]

1. Did you post on WP on theplacethatshallnotbenamed? If so, what was your username?
No, but I could use some working parent support because new job with no maternity leave and we're going to be TTC soonish.

2. Name one thing someone would never guess by looking at you?
I am pretty sassy. Most people look at me and say "I look so nice"

[grover]

1. Occasionally, I know I intro'd and pg check ins. Mostly posted on my bmb M17. I go back to teaching in August.
2. I had 4 sets of braces and 3 oral surgeries? All before I was 25.

[billmurray]

1. No, just lurked over there
2. I have a very hidden tattoo

[leahcar]

mamascarlett, do you have short term disability? If not, do you have enough time to get yourself a policy? You generally are prohibited from using it the first year you have it on a private policy (employer provided policies may vary). If you're going to TTC later this year, it could work out from a timing perspective though. That, plus any PTO I had available, are the only things I've ever had for maternity leave pay.

[radiantfate]

1 - Nope, I was a lurker over there. My SN was jellybean529/emmaswan (depending on if you were on mobile or not).
2 - I swear like a sailor. At work/when people meet me they think I'm very "proper" when I'm anything but.

[sweetpea]

1. No, I lurked here and there
2. I'm like sammysam, people seem surprised to find me funny

[letthewookieewin]

1. Nope. Was regular-ish on Aug14, then hung around Parenting and then Toddlers in the other place (used to be yodasmom)
2. I swear entirely too much. Some of my coworkers were shocked when they first heard me drop an F-bomb.

[ladyannibal]

1. No, I mostly stuck to my BMB and helped run the arts and craft section for a little while.
2. Looking at me people would never guess my age. I'll be 25 next month and people still think I'm 14 - 16.

[icuswan]

Hello!
1. I lurked there a lot but never posted... maybe I will change that here
2. I love all sports!

[bobyn]

Well, it's no longer Tuesday, but I'll chime in.

I very rarely posted here on TCF, but I am a working parent so I'll try to be more active. I work full time at a children's hospital, but I've been thinking of trying to find something closer to home. My commute and time away from DS has me struggling a bit.

I don't think people would ever guess that I'm a 2x surrogate. They were some of the proudest moments of my life.

[maplebaconbar]

It's Tuesday again and I just found my way here so I'm going for it.
1. In the very beginning but my BMB for my April 13er imploded and my activity elsewhere on the board eventually petered out. I think I was Audrey or AudreyLee
2. Same as some others. People think I'm just super nice and innocent until they actually talk to me. I tend to be really blunt with a healthy dose of swearing. I have a tattoo on my leg that no one expects me to have. But it's of some flowers so it's not anything hardcore...

[helenahhandbasket]

1. Yes, same name

2. That I love Gangsta Rap.

[sudokufan]

1. Same name since the bump exodus.
2. I'm an introvert. I mean, I talk talk talk all day at work; I even do some public speaking/training, and I'll talk your ear off if you let me. Then I go home and you can't get me out with a crow bar.

[littlelion]

1. No. Same name and avatar. 
2. I get that I don't look my age (42), thank you. Or that I'm pretty smart.  just because I don't look interested or care about something doesn't mean I can't think analytically. 

[swivelchair5]

1. I only posted once or twice on WP, but I lurked a lot. My username was the same as it is here.
2. Name one thing someone would never guess by looking at you? I grew up in a family of olive-skinned brunettes. I'm the only blonde, blue-eyed, pasty person in my immediate family.

[thatsfancy]

1. I posted as SpecialK or kegdhad1112 mostly on WP, but mainly I lurked.

2. Like letthewookieewin & maplebaconbar, I swear a lot but most of my colleagues just think I'm super prim and proper.
