When we were putting up our decorations, it was in the 80's here. My husband and I joked that we were pretending that we lived in Australia and that this was just normal... and that we needed to buy a PriusI hope things like this don't stop people from lending an ear when someone seeks support. When my mum was dying, I found a lot of comfort here. Life got so overwhelming, and it helped...
I do hope there was solid evidence of not being truthful. I would hate to think of someone being accused when they weren't lying.
Anyway, I'm putting up the tree this weekend! It's a bit hard to get into the Christmas spirit here. It's the middle of summer here in Australia, and I'm used to my white Canadian holidays. But, that said, I am so grateful for the experience of being here, even if Christmas feels odd!
I posted once but wasn't emotionally invested in her story. I did believe her story right up UNTIL she posted about her new arrival. She wrote his weight and height and then said something along the lines of... "I don't know what else to say about him," and I knew then, FAKE.

Oh well C'est La Vie!It was a great story. Very well crafted and believed.
...
Yup.
And I can't help myself but to wonder if we'll see a book one day titled "7 Months Pregnant..." and either OP was testing the story or just had a writers block and you all just helped with some writing ideas...

I read a bit of that thread but never posted. I always question whether the "drama" threads on here are real or not, but it doesn't bother me either way. That one was pretty well written and thought out as far as they go, and my first thought when it was revealed that it was fake was "why bother with a bunch of strangers on the internet? Just write a mediocre book and make a few bucks."
Seemed like it could have been a plot for a harlequin romance at the least.
There are some posters here who I sometimes think might be "acting" out characters they've created, and I always wonder why they don't just go into community theater or something. Why squander those talents on the Dis?
I'm glad they do though...it is entertaining!
See I'm the exact opposite. I always think "why do we care". One thing I always keep in my head is that any where I post on the internet, everyone is a stranger. For the most part no one on the dis has any direct effect on my life. I don't give money to anyone, I don't have to deal with anyones drama so if some one wants to post a fictional scenerio AT MOST, I'll waste time saying a prayer (which is never a waste IMO).
I've gotten great advice from disser and great information but the end of the day I'm the one who has to act on the advice or information.
when we use to discuss politics and religion some of the posters would really get my dander up and what would happen? I'd end up with the points or on a dis board time out for letting them get me all hot and bothered.
I have my favorite posters and I have those that I use the ignore button.
There was a thread on the budget board, where folks got all upset because there evidently were some scammers over there. I couldn't understand that either. Scammers are every where, why would you think on the dis they couldn't exist. It's like people who don't think crime exist in Disneyworld.
Disappointed some one lied? hardly. this is purely entertainment value for me.
OMG, are you all talking about the girl that had Henry in Canada?
In my 13 years of being on these boards, I never post on those threads but I did on that one. I think I even spoke to my mother about it (she is karensi).
Anyway, is that what we are talking about?
Thanks!
I have an idea about how the mods figured out it was fake. I also think there are still quite a few fakers still here and posting regularly.
