Remembering Izzy

My thoughts and prayers still go out to her. Hoping she's still alive.
Sick Note: faking illness online

Oakley. I'll never forget where I was that day when we got news that their car had flipped over. causing Izzy to go into premature labor. I've always assumed she hit her head and got amnesia. I think I am secretly hoping she has a new screen name and posts here, not knowing how much we loved her.

That was a really fascinating article. I'd never heard of any of those people before!

Hush now. She could be any one of us and not remember the trauma she survived.

Yes brd, good times! Let us also not forget that poor deer.

Ah yes the Day of the Deer!

Izzy's baby was something else entirely.


"...Songs that made the hit parade.
Oh. our old La Salle ran great,
Those were the days!"

Jordan, basically, around April 2007 Izzy started a thread announcing her pregnancy news. Of course, everyone congratulated her. She kept the thread alive for a while by asking people suggestions for baby names. Then around June, she and her husband were supposedly involved in a horrible-sounding car crash. Their car flipped over, but they survived with minor injuries. Of course, people were concerned for her pregnancy. Then just a month later at a Barnes & Noble at midnight, while she waited in line for the release of the final Harry Potter book, her water broke and she had her baby soon after. She started a whole thread about it and people congratulating her. A couple of us (namely ErikaAmato and I) made a passing comment about the quick pregnancy but offered our congratulations nonetheless. But it was brdlwyr who really exposed her. He dug up the old threads and noticed a lot of inconsistencies and odd behavior like leaving her newborn in the hospital while she returned home to take a shower. Why not just use the bathroom there? Thus, the tide began to turn.

If anyone can find that thread, resurrect it 'cause it was a hoot and it went on for many pages. Needless to say, Izzy was never heard from again. She continued to post for a bit (even after brdlwyr questioned her) giving updates on the baby. The last thing she wrote she said she would "post pix soon."

Thanks Bluemoon!

AND...could this be OUR IzzyBeth? Came up in the Google search for the thread. Her picture is very different from the young couple in bed she posted as her avatar. Plus, she managed to go from high school student to married early twentysomething to a woman in her thirties in four short years. She is so amazing!

No, Doodle -you're confusing 2 bizzare threads. The thread you're think of was about JasonF (I believe) and his dangerous encounter with a deer. The thread was started by his gf.

Reading her blog, makes me think you've found our IzzyBeth, roses.

No dead giveaways but lots of blogs about community theater experiences in the older blogs, a lot of medical conditions, a love of creative writing (as therapy). Just a feeling, I guess.

Did anyone ever "come out" as being the person behind the Izzy's Baby screen name?
