I saw the recent thread you posted re DCmoms group and your name there as NannyDeb. I also saw how much you were attacked by almost entirely anonymous posters on one thread. I was/am impressed that you were one of the few people who does identify themselves on there despite the fact that you get so much flack. You are brave!"<br /><br />nycmom, I appreciate the compliment, but it's not bravery as much as it is a visceral dislike of internet bullies and trolls who slam people under various monikers or start arguments just to stir the pot, then post under 6 different monikers to support their own silliness.<br /><br />I try very hard to not post under multiple names or anonymously, just because I think if I am going to say something on-line I should have the guts to do so under one ID, and the cajones to stand behind what I say. <br /><br />Plus, when others use consistent monikers, I know who to avoid engaging in inanity. :-)<br /><br />I kind of find the whole idea that there is a thread all about me on DCUM hysterical. I must have pushed a helluva lot of buttons there to generate that response, and all I did was question the validity of several much-loved theories about nannies and how to pay them and treat them.chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036917167478045508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-18369074527625719482012-07-01T20:11:44.342-04:002012-07-01T20:11:44.342-04:00P.S. $100 to the first person to flame me for admi...P.S. $100 to the first person to flame me for admitting to being both a career nanny AND immature. :)Linda Cubednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-6080968815875172092012-07-01T20:07:23.356-04:002012-07-01T20:07:23.356-04:00Linda,
If this is "the" Linda I think it...<b>Linda,<br />If this is "the" Linda I think it is (you can message me)... I wish you would come back under your old moniker. Some people have missed you. ;-)</b><br /><br />MPP -- I am the Linda (and "Linda Again") from several posts back and no, I do not have any kind of history on this blog in the sense that I used to have a consistent moniker. I am also quite certain that no one would miss me or reminisce about me if I were to stop posting! Heck, I've been declared "stupid", so apparently don't really have much to offer anyway, hee! ;)<br /><br />I have commented many many times and have submitted over a dozen various articles for publication here, all of which have generated terrific discussions. (If you want to know my email address, let me know and I will reveal myself to you -- you will immediately recognize me and remember my past submissions.)<br /><br />But when I comment I always pick a different moniker. Not for any nefarious reasons, just because it amuses me and I tend to be stubborn and immature and break rules when it doesn't really hurt anyone. :O<br /><br />I am a career nanny and love this blog but frankly feel no allegiance to it nor do I care if others want to get to recognize me.<br /><br />However if you ever toggle the blog setting to force commenters to have a Google account in order to comment, I will probably continue posting under that rule. :)Linda Cubednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-64298113231848675532012-07-01T05:10:23.328-04:002012-07-01T05:10:23.328-04:00Back to Cali.

I don't want to give away her original...NYCmom,<br />I don't want to give away her original moniker (a very unusual one at that, lol) but she was definitely an interesting poster. She had her fair share of fans.<br /><br />As for the relationship between Jane and I, we are good friends and have a profound respect for one another. Both of us are former Nannies. A few years ago she asked me to come on board and help because she was so busy with the blog, school, work and caring for 2 children. Shortly after, she asked if I would take over ISYN for her and I jumped at the opportunity. She still does most of the graphics and handles all of the media (that is something I still cannot do, lol) i.e., radio interviews, talk shows (Good Morning America, The Rachel Ray Show, etc.) news magazines (The New York Times, Ladies Home Journal, etc.) Unfortunately, I have not kept up with tagging them... Media used to be listed in the sidebar. I will ask her if she can help me dig all of it back up for those that may be interested in reading it.MaryPoppin'Pillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493804863551764605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-11992509505481290222012-06-30T09:08:02.478-04:002012-06-30T09:08:02.478-04:00Is Linda the LindaLou from several years ago? She ...Is Linda the LindaLou from several years ago? She was an interesting poster! I miss many of the old regulars, especially those I did not always agree with.<br /><br />I recall the thread about requiring registering when ISYN went no-anon allowed. JD/MPP (sorry, still not sure what the current ownership/relationship is) did express a preference that posters would stick with a name:<br /><br />"As the blog owner, I am asking those who read and post here to try and make this work. If the readers and posters can't comply, I will be left with only one choice and that is to disallow all comments but those from registered people.<br />...<br />Ideally, each person would pick a moniker, and stick to it. (For the most part at least.)<br /><br />Thank you for your cooperation."<br /><br />Registering was decided against as it might discourage new traffic though this is 4 years later and I suspect almost everyone has a Google account by now (especially now that Zagat is free then too!). Regardless, a compromise was suggested that people at least stick with one moniker per thread if they wanted to maintain a unique persona, but still be engagable in a meaningful way.

If MPP felt it was that important, she would have done it by now."<br /><br />----<br /><br />You brought up a good point... the only reason I don't require registration is that I seriously think it would hinder commenting. Some have mentioned it would be a pain in the ass and I want ISYN to be user friendly, especially with the high traffic and so many new Readers coming through. <br /><br />To MKAY... as for what NYCmom said about the deleted comments: sometimes they sit for a few hours before I can get to them and the regulars will see them.MaryPoppin'Pillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493804863551764605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-74277819551895483592012-06-30T03:51:03.248-04:002012-06-30T03:51:03.248-04:00#1 I noticed that there is NO mention of the days,...#1 I noticed that there is NO mention of the days, hours or the job.
