I'll Take This Opportunity
What is this about? Is it common to have a sign up sheet to pray for someone? Now before you start shouting nasty words at me (you good Christians) let me say that my thoughts are definitely with Yvonne and this entry is so not about her. <--- That would be the sentence you jumpy people ignore.
Anyhow, I am going to use that thread as an opportunity to ask about the pea prayers. What a big fat joke some of you are. Prayers are between you and God. If you are going to pray for someone, keep it between you and the big man. There is no reason to post it on a message board. Especially NSBR. Tande, you are not Sister Mary of St. Benedict. I am amazed at the number of people who turn to you for "your words". Ha! You are like one of those dirty TV evangelist who con those who have been misinformed about the workings of the Lord. If you are going to ramble, keep it between you and Him. A simple "you are in my prayers" will do for the rest of us.
And what about the people who ask for prayers and never give an update, a thank you, kiss my butt. Nothing. Talk about R-U-D-E. I believe those are the people who only use prayer to try and get what they want (as if prayer actually works that way) and never to thank God for what they are blessed with. I don't think God looks too highly upon those who use Him.
So what is with this 24 hour prayer sign up? Do you really think that so and so is going to pray for one hour straight at the time the signed up for. Don't be so naive. This is just a waste of time and internet space. I think you would have more luck just asking people to keep Yvonne in their prayers and thoughts for the next 24 hours. Why does there have to be a sign up? Geez does that just sound lame.

Some of those sign ups have me doubting they will actually pray for a whole half an hour.
I am sure they are trying to be supportive of Yvonne.
I guess they didn't see the thread about the woman who had a baby that just had heart surgery.
But that woman isn't a prom queen. These prayers are more about jumping on the popularity bandwagon than anything else.
Wow. Those people are kind of spooky.
My main concern with a sign up such as this is that when the next person comes along with a similar tragedy, they won't get the board-wide support that these people are showing Yvonne. That always lead to much worse feelings.
By all means, pray for Yvonne. I just don't see why you need to post publicly that you're doing it at all.
Because then they can pretend they're part of the in-crowd.
It's gotten to the point of nauseating. You can bet Yvonne wouldn't be signing up to pray for anyone else; especially if the person isn't someone she likes.
Fuck heads.
This looks like an evolved group of Peas. So think like that for a minute.
Look at the three losers who are heading up this effort.
Tande and PDR and MissJen.
Have you ever met a more pathetic trio or Peas. Oh yeah, maybe but you have to admit, this trio is pretty pathetic.
Have you ever seen a more needy trio? I doubt it? These three are so seriously trying to act like they are popular and in that it's enough to make a grown woman cry.
Notice who IS NOT signinig up on this stupid thread.
These three will take any chance to jump on any bandwagon and then not let go. Please plese please can they be the next set of Meet The Peas? I think they deserve it.
What are they praying for Yvonne for anyway?
I do not understand taking prayer too far but asking for some prayers in a single post and having a shoulder to cry on is human.
Yea, not praying for a 1/2 hour.. sorry for Yvonne but 1/2 prayer isnt going to change what has allready happened.
Oops. that should read 1/2 hour prayer.....
Totally agree!!!!!
Some poor lady had posted about her very sick SIL and got 15 replies after she died......
but the "popular" peas get pages upon pages and a friggin siggy banner!
give me a break!!!
I agree.......those who take part in the siggy banner most likely do so, so they are the IN crowd!! pathetic!!
the smackdown begins...

She already did Miss Jenn. She's PLEASE DON'T HATE ME PEA.
She's one of the most needy peas around. Howmany threads do you think she'll start as a result of this? She can't stand it.
She wants to think she is liked but isn't. Libis likes her but isn't around. She's living her real life and knows the difference.
"My issue with pea prayers is, is there some assumption that the more people you have praying for you the more likely your prayer will be answered? It just rubs me the wrong way. Popularity does not equal God's favor."
I think it's mainly as a show of support for Yvonne. Whether or not one prays for 30 min in the time they chose is not the point. Prayers can and will be said at all times of the day. It's to say "we are all pulling for you and the baby". Religous peas may disagree with me, that is just my take on it.
"Like someone else here said, other people will feel excluded that they didn't have tons of peas praying for them in their hour of need."
I did not think of this and it's a valid point. Now it bothers me.
esther
The pity posse has saddled up. Pathetic Peas to the rescue.
And what does it look like for those peas who don't sign up, don't have a prayer, and don't put a little rose "thinking of you" bullshit in their signature.
Like someone else said, it is just going to make those that are going through something just as bad at the same time or in the future feel badly because they don't get the same support.
Half those people don't even know Yvonne and are just jumping on the popularity bandwagon. And then there are those that want to look like saints because they are arranging it all and posting on every single thread and creating threads of their own to call attention to what a saint they are.
PDR is just using this as yet another opportunity to promote herself. So many Peas can't stand that bitch and she won't give up.
I laugh every time she posts because you can almost see her trying too hard. She's mental.
She's mental.
I'm 143% shocked that you would think she's mental. Why can't you all see that she's a SAINT. A saint I tell you.
She's fucking mental.
And she wonders why her so called friends took off and created a forum but didn't invite her.
what is even better is that PDR has to post a thread handslapping people who commented on this blog. Sure, take it back to Two Peas. Make yourself look good and try to stir up something while you are at it. Why not just address it here? Obviously she's reading the blog to even see the comments which is even funnier because of all the peas who like to say that they would never read this blog, but you know they are all lying.
"Prayer by appointment" *LOL*
Prayer, IMO, is between God and myself. The bible says that God will take care of you, so you don't need to pray for those things you need. God will provide. In addition, there is a parable about those people who use their faith to promote themselves and make them seem like better people. It's something I always consider when dealing with something like this. If I want God to hear my prayers, I need to pray in a way that suits him, not my needs.
Additionally, I too worry about other Peas in need who won't get this same support and how bad they may feel.....
Note that Yvonne didn't ask for anything. She isn't involved in this at all.
It's the three most opportunitic women on the board who took it upon themselves. It's all about them, not Yvonne. It's so shallow and obvious.
TANDE IS AWESOME. WE NEED A MORE PRAYER IN OUR LIVES.
What the fuck does "we need a more prayer in our lives" mean?
Figures your Tande's white trash friend.
Somebody on there said she would take a certain time, only to say to MJ "if that time is still available."
Oh brother.
I'm pretty sure that you can pray whenever you want.
I bet Manda is pretty this prayer drama is overshadowing her drama.
If you are gonna pray for someone, you can do it without tooting your horns about it.
When I read the post on the main page, I was crying and laughing so hard, I almost PIMP! The absurdity of "sign up to pray" was almost more than my lungs could handle! Took me about ten minutes to relax enough to post.
You all don't see that Miss Jen and her cronies are all saints?!? I recognize saints right away and right now I see THREE St. Bernards!
tande is PHYSCHOTIC. ALOT of peas are just signing up becaus yvonne is a popular pea, when in FACT, she is the BIGGEST bully right ahead of Moni. FACT. They do not want to rile up the popular bully peas.

It's funny, but not THAT funny.
Tande is on serious meds. So is PDR.
I agree with the others in that it is only when a "popular" pea has something bad happen to them that a prayer thread and the PVM crap starts. Pathetic.
When Tanya's son Colin was sick, hundreds (maybe thousands) of peas prayed for their family. There was a prayer chain then too. Tanya was not a popular pea. Sometimes there are situations that pull at people's hearts. I think this is one of those times.
And the "making an appointment to pray" might just be a reminder. I joined in for Colin's. It helped me remember to pray for him every single day. Of course I could pray for him any time of the day. But having a time marked down made me sure to remember. And I made a public commitment to pray, so I felt that it would dishonor God to shirk that commitment.
Make sense?
No, it doesn't make sense.
Can't you think for yourself?
Sad example.
Is it really that big of a deal? Can't people just prayer for one another. Popularity or not, it's an outreach of kindness and generosity. End of story.
Give me a freakin break.
Miss Jen has started yet ANOTHER thread begging peas to please remember other peas who need prayer.
Can somebody please put her out of our misery? Please?
It's like she doesn't know when to stop. She doesn't know how annoying she is.
I feel really terrible for Yvonne but you wont find me jumping to sign my name in the Prayer Appointment Handbook.
I really am pulling for her and her family and her situation but I don't have to shout it out.
I don't need to be jumping on that bandwagon when there's probably 100 other peas in serious need of prayer and help on that board right now.
These saintly religous fanatics give me the heebie-jeebies.
ICK.
We should start a prayer thread for Manda.
1. Thank you for not making this about Yvonne. I think that shows a lot of compassion, despite the nasty little heart you display almost everywhere else.
2. About ignoring the others asking for prayers for equally tough situations? You're absolutely right. It was a tremendous oversight on my part. I'm sure those moms are in equal pain. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
3. Why a vigil, and sign ups? To tell the truth, I can't give you an answer because it means different things for different folks. It's a tool I learned in my truth growing up. At the VERY least, I hope that the public commitment of support will be of encouragement to these women. I don't know about you, but knowing others are praying for me is of comfort to me in times of stress. For others, perhaps its a reminder or a form of accountability. For still others, perhaps it's a tangible way to cope with helplessness. At least they're doing something. Who knows. I've no beef with anyone who has an issue with it.
Give me a freakin break.

two is HARDLY overkill, despite your overdramatic hyperbole. That means exaggeration, in case the word is too big for your tiny little mind.
I think I'm gonna hurl.
Look at Jen trying to act all mature and bring out her biggest and best vocabulary.
Anyone else get the tone of all this. She thinks she's above it all here, when we're all pointing out the fact that she's annoying, nobody likes her and we're all making fun of her.
Jen-give us a break. From you.
I knew she couldn't stay away.

You're under the misguided notion that I care about your opinion of me. Do you not even realize how ironic your statement is? Has it not been evident by the countless threads on peas that you and your cowardly cronies are equally (and arguably much more so) unwanted? It must have dawned on you, else you wouldn't be hiding behind anonymity.
If you didn't care about our opinion, you wouldn't be here defending yourself over and over again.
You care. And it's bugging the shit out of you.
It is amazing that Miss Jen didn't learn that this can be hurtful to others the last time something similar happened. She is a self-rightous hypocrite. Really Jen, didn't you understand that unless you will do exactly the same thing for each and every pea in a troubled situation that you are being hurtful? This has been explained to you before, and I remember how you vicously went after BEP. Of course you like to think you do not wrong, but I often see you make really mean comments. Please honestly review how you handled that, it was very unplesant.
While I think it is nice to pray for her and offer their support what about the MANY other peas who have posted about ongoing child problems, family health problems, etc.
I can think of several peas who have "quietly" cried out for support and got nothing from anyone other than a view on the thread.
I guess popularity is the only way people care about your kids and problems..
Like I said before, nothing but a lame group of petty bitches crying because they aren't popular.
Did you losers ever think that the reason that you aren't popular on 2p is because of YOU? Maybe you aren't interesting, or maybe you are just stupid.
wahhhhhhhh!!! The pretty girls won't talk to me! wahhhhhh!!!
Are you all so incredibly weak that if you don't get some validation, you whine on a anon blog?
L-O-S-E-R-S.
"Really Jen, didn't you understand that unless you will do exactly the same thing for each and every pea in a troubled situation that you are being hurtful? This has been explained to you before, and I remember how you vicously went after BEP"
OH PLEASE.
ALL OF THESE COMMENTS ARE PROBABLY BEING MADE BY THOSE SAME HOSEBEASTS FROM GRUMPEAS.
TALK ABOUT A BUNCH OF FUCKING NITWITS. BEP AND HER GANG OF TROLLS NEED TO STOP BEING FREAKS AND RAISE THOSE RUGRATS.
THOSE SKANKS WERE PEA REJECTS TOO. TOO BAD BEP GOT PUSHED OFF HER FAT ASS THRONE.
"You're under the misguided notion that I care about your opinion of me."
And it shows by your taking the time not only to read the posts here, but also to post your own rebuttal. Oh please.
1 of 2 things about to happen here.
Jenn will either post "an open letter to the board" or hairflip because it's such a mean and heartless place.
Either is fine with me. Just do it and get it over with.
You are fooling yourself Jen. You care about what people think of you more than most anybody over there.
Your are so insecure you can't stand to let this go. Keep it up. You are one of the reasons this blog is here.
Are you this unpopular at work too Jen?
I imagine you are the pain in the ass employee who always has issues and conflicts with people. The type that just has to speak their mind because they think something isn't right.
I can't imagine working with you, let alone be married to you.
"Your are so insecure you can't stand to let this go. Keep it up. You are one of the reasons this blog is here."
One of the reasons that you are here is because you are too chicken shit scared to post anything under your real name.
All you bitches bagging on people are giant fucktards. Why don't you go try to find some friends..oh wait, that's why you are here right? Because nobody on 2peas will be your friend?
What bothers me is that so many people are jumping on this, there have been multiple threads on praying for this pea and when others post they don't get half the response. Seems a bit rude to me.
to the poster above...
it is because no one gives two shits about you on the pea board unless you are a bitch.....you need to be the all and mighty one in order for all the pathetic puppy dog followers to salivate after you hoping you will pet them on the head
I am one of those people who will pray (right then and there) for anyone who asks for prayer. I don't like to post a response and this goes for any prayer thread on any message board anywhere. Like someone mentioned, I feel that if I post on a prayer thread, I should post on everyone's.
There is no amount of Immodium that can stop the diarrhea coming out of the mouths of people like Manda, Cara in TX, Miss Jen, Tande, etc.. Just let it run its course, after all, it is either that or those dumbass hairflips.
You seem to be getting awfully worked up kathy/kandie. I thought the board was nothing but entertainment to you? Your last statement and all the posts you are making on this blog says differently. Sooo I guess the message board is more than a message board to you. Hypocrasy at it's best.
anon...sorry dont know your real name as you are too chicken..
anyway...I am dissing the board as it is a laugh a minute!!!
it is pathetic..it is NOT real life!
It must be real life for you since you are so bent out of shape over it you have to come over here and dis it. If you didn't care about it you wouldn't be over here slamming it over and over. Because you wouldn't care.
You are just another of the unpopular peas that just can't stand it aren't you? You keep saying that it is just a message board and that you don't care. All your posts over here are proving different. It is actually quite funny how much you protest over a board that is meaningless.
Yes, blogger is a pea who doesn't get the amount of attention she thinks she deserves. She is very hostile about popular peas.
She starts threads that virtually get ignored, or only a few posts.
This is clearly retaliation. She's pisssed about two peas so started this over here.
anon.........
LOL!!! I have friends in real life...what I dont get about the pea board is how seriously people take it!!
which is why I find this blog to be a riot!!!
I dont give a shit about 2 peas....I found it entertaining....I roll my eyes daily at the way some people are on that site....
no one is your friend on that site unless you know them IRL.....
ps...if I gave a shit abou 2 peas I wouldnt be openly dissing it here would I?
Keep on repeating it. Maybe it will actually be true one day.
LOL!! yeah okay......
right in-between my prayers
okay I am done being a bitch for the day....this was fun..
sorry to the blogger for posting too much!!
It's not like prayer works anyway. It's just a bunch of people talking/typing to themselves.
My heart goes out to Yvonne, but I don't post to prayer threads because I feel like if I post to one, I have to post to all of them.
It was like the Colin situation. All the Candles for Colin, and then right on the heels of that was another baby that died and there was hardly anything about it.
I'm praying that someone will institute a spell check function on this board.
It's a joke how overinvested some gals are over there.
I just don't see why you need to post publicly that you're doing it at all.
Not all who are praying are doing this. But it really shouldn't matter either way, really. If this touches people and they choose to pray what's the big deal?
If you don't pray, or don't believe in prayer, or just think it's all showboating, WHO CARES??? For the life of me I can't see why this personal BELIEF is something worthy of bashing on this blog.
Y'all can you better than this. There's MUCH MORE over there than beating up people who pray...
I just want to say that I respond to every prayer request I see. I don't look at the user name first. I just send a prayer and let the poster know I did.
I agree with most on here, It is sad when all this attention is being given to Yvonne (yes, I prayed for her too), but will only hurt other peas if they are ever in that same situation.
I also agree with the blinkie. Are we going to be judged if we don't put that blinkie in our siggy? I hope not.
>>> I'm praying that someone will institute a spell check function on this board.<<<<
lol
>>> I'm praying that someone will institute a spell check function on this board.<<<<
Why do you fucking care what another person says or does not spell correctly in a post. Take it for what it is and move on. Bigger things to worry about.
Yvonne is 40-something years old, I knew this pregnancy wasn't going to last, she got excited about it too early.

What a horrible thing to say. I really hope you do not have children yourself. What a poor example you would set as a parent. GROSS
That post is the dumbest piece of shit I have ever read. A prayer schedule. Please.
I'll pray for 24 hours for Miss Jen to remove her ugly ass picture in her avatar though.

ROFLPIMP!!!
While I disagree with you about people praying for their hour, because I did for Colin (never missed a day), both at "my" time and at others, I think it's interesting to read your view on this.
The thing about prayer on NSBR that amazes me is that some of the people who say they will pray have either: a) said they're not sure they believe in God (so who do you pray to???) OR b) have been so hateful to others and sometime to the person in need of prayer, that I wonder
Just a thought.
