In the 70's and 80's women fought to get into the workforce (the whole Ms. magazine generation)...and then the tide turned in the late 1990's when more women started to stay home by choice. Now, it seems like being a SAHM is a status symbol....and superior to being a working mom.

Or maybe they don't want a bunch of wackos invading their board to bombard this friend max or them about the things she says they talk about. Sounds like a fun place to hang out from her description. I'd think they don't want intruders that don't really want to be there but for any other reason than harrassment.

It sounds from doogey like she posts under the max name. Your a smart woman. Do a search and check out all the boards you can find and scout her out if you really in truly want to go to that board. That is how I became aware of the ivillage boards by checking out search engines. If you don't want to go to those lengths then the intentions of this entire thread really rises to the surface.

But how is the hotel going to stop people from taking more than one shower a day? I'm sure these women are going to inquire about that next. Maybe they would want to protest out in front of hotels to encourage guests to only shower one time and limit that to 3min flat. S.V.

If I'm there for a week I ask for two bed changes. I ask for fresh towels every other day unless it is beach travel, then more frequency showering, need more towels and need those sheets changed daily, can't stand sand that seems to get everywhere no matter how clean or careful you are to keep it away.

Before this goes any further and escalates into yet another "witch hunt" thread, let me say that I am not stalking any posters on this board. If I wanted to stalk Max, there are plenty of ways I could do it. However, what happens time and again is someone gets a whiff of the phantom poster and makes a comment about it. It can't be helped, as the others have said. With similar posting styles, etc., many of us thought the same thing. One mention of it, and out comes someone to defend the phantom or the Max-type character. IF someone is going to come out and defend it, they better be prepared to do so OR they should just say nothing. Yes, Doogey's mistake, if you will, was to come out and defend something she doesn't want to defend.

You seriously don't find it odd for someone to use a person's clothing size to describe them?

I didn't "want" a certain answer from doogey. But naturally I got way more than what I asked.

At one time or another just about every one of us has been asked for more details about something we've said. I know I have. I know that islim went through this. And yet no one except the phantom posters continue to make claims they can't support. Instead, they just leave. Is it stalking to want the truth?

And I want to address that you felt the need to call others here "wackos". Why? I don't see any wackos here.

Now, come on... You, P&J, and I (maybe slim too) all shop at Ann Taylor.. Maybe we *are* the same person ... who debate with each other once in a while just to throw others off. HAHAHA!

I am?

Actually, I came long after P&J and some time after slim (though I came in her "artist formerly known as trip" days)

Who was I in my past life?

No offense i dont know you but i think anyone who continually question's some one's existance on line and irl continuing to carry on, still doing it years later is quite wacky. The overall behavior is quite obsessive.
