Re: Friiiiiiday...
They lived (maybe still live, lost touch) in Robert Lee, Population 1170! My great grandparents lived in a small town, Winters (Leslie I'm sure has heard of it) but I had never been to anything like homecoming in Robert Lee. It was really cute though because my friend's little girl was a cheerleader so she got to go through the parade with the older cheerleaders and even got to do a cheer on field during halftime. It was fun though!
I am pretty done with GP actually. There was a huge fallout last night about whether or not pregnant people should post about their pregnancies on the board because it hurts the feelings of those who have been trying for a long time. This lead to 100 threads of drama and a bunch of GBCGP posts. It was too much for me.
I haven't really felt like I've had a home there lately as I am not new to trying and excited or trying for more than a year/infertile and there isn't really a place for this stage of TTC. I am so tired of reading posts that say "I know this is nothing compared to the girls who have been trying forever, but..." I hate feeling like I need to apologize for being upset or sad about TTC because I haven't been trying as long as others or because people who conceived easily or have never even TTC consider six months "not that long." I can honestly say it sucks pretty damn bad to be six months in with nothing to show for it and I think those feelings are okay.
Yeah, so I guess that's how I really feel about it. I started out with the intention just to write the first paragraph and the second came out.
ETA:What I was talking about earlier actually happened on the girl's birth month board. Her daughter's heart did not fully develop and the doctors gave her a slim chance of living at all and a 40% chance of living past 10 years old and a 0% for living past 20. They have decided to end the pregnancy, which was 100% her choice. Women on her month board jumped on her about it, which makes me so angry as this poor woman is dealing with finding out she is carrying a dying child inside of her. She doesn't need you to make her feel like a horrible person.
Leslie,
See I just wouldn't have shared something like that. That's extremely personal, IMO, and I would just keep that to friends and family. But that's me.
I still have my two mums from my senior year and they were considered big for 1993. I've seen some girls walking down the hall and you could only see their feet because the mums were so big. One of my senior girls is wearing one that has the neck harness and four free straps that she can use to tie them to her body. And I have seen some very beautiful and non-traditional mums today.
And, one of my current students is up for HC king and I really hope he wins it because I've never had the HC king in my class before.
Leslie, I completely understand. But you already know how I feel about people and their two cents!
That is REALLY REALLY sad about her baby! I will be thinking about her and her family.
I know exactly where Robert Lee is as well as Winters (I used to know people in both though I'm not sure if they are still there, I don't keep in touch and haven't since we moved). I grew up about 45 miles east of there in Sterling.
Haha, that I do!!
It is my CW birthday today. I got here at 11:30, fresh from a post-school lunch at Chick Fil-A and got told we were going to lunch. It would have been nice for someone to text me so I didn't have to sit at the table all awkward watching everyone eat.
Did anyone see Michaele Salahi's huband on tv this morning? He said, he is heart broken, and can't understnad why Michaele ran away with the guy from Journey, he went on to say, she is trying to be more famous, but doesn't she reallize they are a band from the 80s!!!
I hate most national boards, the only one I subscribe to is F&B and local board. I think poeple take this stuff too seriously!! Most other boards I visited they seem too hostile, and very cliquish. If you are not a regular they will be plain rude to you. This is a forum to exchange ideas but they don't want to hear anything but their own p.o.v.
A band from the 80's that sans Steve Perry means nothing to me.
I might have to take you up on that
Just let me know if you need to vent

You made me LOL - you sounded like a tv commercial in my head
I am ready for my work day to be over, but I took a 3-hour break to drive to my parents, so I'll be working a lot longer this evening. Oh well, at least I'm in good company!
Haha, that's what I was going for!

This made me smile. I do like the two songs that he put out solo (or at least the ones I can remember). "Sherri" and "Foolish Heart". My mom and I used to joke that he was telling Sherri to put her clothes on (instead of "hold on").
