I don’t think that’s a maltese, it looks like a cockapoo. Maybe Maltepoo.

Oh never mind, I see your previous post. Join us on Cute Talk, we’re all former-nerds-who-are-now-in-the-in-crowd!

Who is Sandy? Bugmom?

(wipes away a tear) Thank you Helene. I will now sign my posts, “Sandy, member of the IN CROWD” — after I go retrieve my underpants from the shower where they were thrown after gym class.

Ahn. Thanks Bugsy!

Dang, I miss all the good verseys. I guess that means I am still a dork. Wah- I can has no puddins. Mebbe there is some pizza left for me? Wif Ham? And Teh pineapples? And here is a gratuitous baby eating foodies, cause that’s the way I roll:

Ok. I feel the need to say something here.

Yes, there are a few individuals who seem to be more familiar with each other, who post regularly, and who do have conversations with each other. Can’t deny that.

But really? The “in crowd”? Is that even possible as adults? I don’t think so. I’d love to tell you why….

Reading the posts here on CO I found a few names popped up pretty frequently, and on just about every post. I thought these individuals were charming and witty and liked to laugh along with them while trying to picture them in my mind. How old were they? Where are they from? What do they do? I actually do that with everyone on here. It’s not a negative thing. I’m not judging, just curious how much we would have in common.

After posting a comment on one of the pics I received a hello and an invite from one of these ladies to join Cute Talk. I was pleasantly surprised as I had it all worked out in my mind that they knew each other outside of CO. I was half right.

They do know each other outside of CO, but only in another area of the net where they became friends after “meeting” each other here. After I was invited to join (the invitation was NOT exclusive at the time and has been offered to others and all since) I went to the site and signed up.

I am so glad I did. These individuals are the most warm people I have talked to in a long time and from my experience, VERY welcoming. There are different age groups, occupations, likes, dislikes, interests and abilities. A lot of differences, but they all have this in common: They are very caring and sweet and a little sassy at times, but it has never been an exclusive “in-crowd” thing. As far as I know any “in-crowd” would never risk inviting “outsiders” in. It would ruin the whole dynamic of exclusivity those type of people thrive on. As stated previously, this is not so here.

I can not say enough how warm and open and friendly this lovely bunch of ladies are. They made me feel very welcome and I already feel they are friends.

I CAN’T IMAGINE THAT THEY WOULD EVER TRY TO BE ALOOF TOWARDS ANYONE WHO TRIED TO TALK TO THEM AND I HAVE NOTICED THEM GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TALK TO OTHERS.

That being said (and I’m sorry it was a mouthful) I need to touch upon the other portion of the message.

The tasty treats are not (as far as I have seen) meant to offend and the imaginary games that are played stem from these ladies reaching out to extend a hand to anyone who is looking for something to chat about until a new pic is posted. ANYONE would have been welcomed into the “poker game” or any other “game” that has been played. It’s all about bonding with some people who you may or may not ever meet. It’s pure silliness. I don’t think any of it is meant to be rude or offensive, just lighthearted. It is simply a way to avoid the negativity and still try to connect with others.

Seriously, peeps, there is no “in-crowd” here. Just some special ladies who are happy to widen the circle of friendship they have achieved thanks to Cute Overload.

not listening…..

Nope. Dontcha wish?

Perhaps you know this —

I’m in with the in crowd;
I go where the in crowd goes.
I’m in with the in crowd;
And I know what the in crowd knows.
