I feel like we weren't done saying our goodbyes and posting our memories. So glad a lot of us seem to have made it over here and I thought it could be cathartic to finish up our discussion together of what that site has meant over the years, good and bad. Even if we pick up here where we left off, which I hope we will, I think the shutdown was eye opening and stirred up thoughts and feelings that still need to be processed. I don't mean to sound melodramatic but I think it's true!
UB helped me get through the early days of raising a newborn. I was new to the city and I didn't have any friends. UB provided recommendations for everything from best diapers to how to deal with DH.
It was an honest source of feedback. A couple of times I was convinced I was right about an argument I was having with someone. I was shocked not everyone on UB agreed with me.
UB helped me screen out what not to look for in a DH (there were so many awful abusive DHs back in the day) and choose a nice and stable but also conventionally TT guy. Also helped with pregnancy. Am sad that it won’t be around now that kids will be entering K application Process. That was what UB was best at
UB really became a part of life for me. It held my hand as I went through difficult phases of life as a new wedded wife with DH woes, my babies, schools, work life, in laws as well as the great phases of life as I succeeded in my career. I could really relate to most of the discussions on UB and hope we can really salvage what remains.

I joined maybe 8 years ago after some snarky article on Jezebel--I lived in LA and was early 20s, no baby in sight. Now, I moved to NYC 3 years ago and am trying to conceive--lol, it finally became useful and poof it's gone!
I used to love Jezebel. It's really gone downhill these past few years. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
Ive been on for forever - 17 years! I went on initially bc I was priced out of staying in nyc and i so wanted to keep connected with it and I think my first post was about where to get my daughter her first pair of shoes. anyway, although I have a pretty active social life I really enjoyed the intellect and honesty of my virtual life. It became my go to for everything from recipes to gasp an affair. I got kicked off recently for No reason and it felt like a limb amputation of sorts. I have been grieving for real and am so glad to have this back. I hope it works.
