[KCCutie]

Add me to the list please.

I hope it''s a short stay.

 

[dncer228]

new here!!

Please add me to the list!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Hey RFT I''m wondering if the list needs to be cleaned up. I think previously they''d take LIW off the list if they hadn''t posted in a certain amount of time. Thoughts?

 

[sunnyd]

Indeed. This list is freakishly long, and I''ve never seen half the people on it!

 

[FrekeChild]

Ok. I''m going to do a search for everyone that I don''t recognize the name of. If anyone that I list is lurking, please speak up if you want to stay on the list. I''m going to use 11/25 as the cutoff date because it was 3 months ago.

6. sunshine14 hasn''t posted since 9/5/07 with 247 posts, but I''m betting from what I''ve read that she got engaged and didn''t come back.
11. cherry_vanilla hasn''t posted since 8/29/07 with 76 posts.
15. littlelamb hasn''t posted since 9/27/07 with 2 posts.
23. FarFarAway hasn''t posted since 9/6/07 with 26 posts.
24. loveforfire hasn''t posted since 8/6/07 with 9 posts.
32. Marlad367 hasn''t posted since 9/1/07 with 8 posts.
33. hookemhorns hasn''t posted since 10/6/07 with 12 posts.
34. cl2ysta1 was engaged around the beginning of September of ''07.
35. bastet hasn''t posted since 8/25/07 with 16 posts.
42. metaphor85-can''t find record of her (Anybody know anything?)
46. diamond12 hasn''t posted since 10/6/07 with 34 posts.
52. katie1985 hasn''t posted since 10/9/07 with 5 posts.
56. Diamondsgirl22 hasn''t posted since 11/7/07 with 91 posts.
61. luckychick hasn''t posted since 10/25/07 with 4 posts.
65. jazzgal4ever hasn''t posted since 11/13/07 with 27 posts.
69. TheOptimist hasn''t posted since 11/13/07 with 4 posts.


On this iffy side/getting close to said cutoff date:
66. SparklyGirl* hasn''t posted since 12/3/07 with 25 posts, member since 11/7/07.


I might as well add in the typos or whatever they are that made this a little more difficult than I thought it would be when I started.

10. news_girl has an underscore instead of a space. It took me about 15 minutes of searching before I figured it out. lol
27. RubyRN is actually *RubyRN*
41. BrilliantNikky is actually BrilliantNikki
45. kllilea is actually ckillilea

So...If you are on the above list and lurking, you should definitely check in and let redfaerythinker know that you still want to be on the list.

RFT-hope this helps out a bit. I took a mental health day from school and got bored.

 

[redfaerythinker]

Thanks FrekeChild! That must have taken forever. Bummer about those names being wrong on the list. I just copied and pasted from the last listkeeper... I didn''t think to check the spellings. I''ll make a regular post on the board and give people a week to respond. If they haven''t responded by then they''ll be taken off. I think we also need to rethink that six month inactive policy. Six months is a looooong time on this board. I think three is much more reasonable.

 

[FrekeChild]

Well it took more than 5 minutes...a lot more. Heh. But I was bored and on a mission apparently. I get OCD about organization and cleanliness sometimes and I guess the lack of movement on the LIW list was getting to me. (I figure I''ll get proposed to around #3 if I''m lucky. Heh.

I figured you just copied and pasted, what I did was just search for the names and go back on the other lists as far as I could to see when they actually posted to get put on the list, once I got the hang out it, it really wasn''t that bad. Just typos from the transfer of lists or typos from their addition to the list. I just figure I''d throw them up there so whoever does the search next time doesn''t have such a hard time.

I also think that the 6 month policy needs to be rethought, that is a really really long time. Especially because it seems like most of the posters who stopped posting were newbs who were here for less than a month or only posted a handful of times. (thats why I put up the # of times they posted) I mean, I''ve only been around for 3 months and I am already over 600(mostly trying to avoid schoolwork, but whatever!).

Glad I could help!

 

[jbear]

add me too pls!

 

[hilbake]

Take me off the list!

BF and I decided that we''ll be getting married next spring!
No official date yet, but we''re thinking either April or May 2009. Woohoo!

There wasn''t a proposal or a ring, so I don''t feel comfortable starting my own thread (as there''s nothing to show). I just had to share my excitement with you ladies!

I would''ve gone crazy if I didn''t have the LIW forum to keep me sane, even if I am only a lurker... so thanks for that!

 

[cammy85]

I''m new as of today and was hoping I could be added to the list as well..

My bf and I have been dating around 2 1/2 years and have recently started looking at styles and designs. He has told me he already knows what he wants to do and has told me "it will happen no later than *this date*'' but it''s just hard to wait knowing it''s coming.

I guess I am hoping this is a good place to let my feelings known in the anonymity of the internet. It feels good to get it out and know I''m not the only one feeling this way.

 

[FrekeChild]

Oh my gosh Hilbake! Congrats! And you''d better post some pics when you get a ring!!!

 

[sunnyd]

Yay for hilbake!!!

 

[hilbake]

Thanks frekechild and sunnyd!
You can bet I''ll be asking for help when the time comes to buy a ring

 

[patient1]

Hi all... So I''ve secretly stalked this forum for too long. My boyfriend and I will be dating 6 years as of April. We''ve both been patient: waiting until we finished college and found jobs and were (individually) financially independent. I graduated last May, and am employed in Austin. He graduated in December and started work 6 weeks ago in Austin as well. For him, now it is only a matter of saving up for my ring (''cause he knows I love shiny-diamond rings). I''m so anxious!!!

So, after that intro, could you please add me to the list? I''m so glad a place like this exists.

 

[cammy85]

So I totally walked past the jewelry row today on my lunch break to see some sparkle...

oy, how do you stop from thinking about it all the time?!

I want to be patient, but it is soooo hard!

 

[patient1]

I know the feeling cammy85! I spend more time browsing sites like this one and engagement ring websites everyday... A highly addicting activity and a highly unproductive work day.

 

[LDubs]

OK, I''ll add myself. I''ve lurked for months, just registered a few weeks ago. I''m ridiculously addicted to researching and reading about wedding stuff - at least here it''s a healthy engagement obsession, right?

Excited to post more and get to know everyone!

I know the feeling cammy85! I spend more time browsing sites like this one and engagement ring websites everyday... A highly addicting activity and a highly unproductive work day.

haha, I''ve been trying so hard not to browse, but it seems like my browser just loooves going to those sites. You know, just ''thinking'' about nice reception venues, trying to ''estimate'' how much flowers would cost, making a ''tester'' guest list to get an idea of bugeting. Oh yeah, and looking at the diy projects to save my imaginary money at this point.. oh my. How embarrasing.

I guess i''m trying to be patient outwardly while my insides are going all nuts. I just don''t want to seem nuts to him - might be a bit of a turn off

At least I can be slightly neurotic here, I hope?

 

[jkil0313]

I''d like an add. I have lurked for awhile. Posted here and there. But now that the ring is on the way (thanks most importantly to you guys and PS for all the help and research) I am really sitting here waiting for the big day. You girls have been really helpful in keeping me patient! Thanks SO Much!

 

[Junkenpo]

I''m ready to give up the #8 spot... DF proposed yesterday on Leap Day & i''m sporting the new sparkly... wow.. it''s hard to take your eyes off these things! I was here for 13months.. hope everyone''s stay is short & sweet!

 

[redfaerythinker]

Congrats on your engagement Junkenpo and congrats on your date setting hilbake!

and Welcome jkil0313, LDubs, patient1, cammy85, and jbear! May your stays be short and sweet. And... drumroll please... the great list update is complete! Feel free to check it over and make sure that you''re still there... that was a lot of cutting and pasting! Have a nice day everyone!

[KCCutie]

I was excited to see the new list until I noticed I wasn''t on it.

Yikes do you guys know something I don''t?

I thought I was going to be added after Postit.... and I don''t see dncer228 either who posted right after me....
