Thank you sings and goldi! I'm a really private person IRL but as soon as I got those positives yesterday, N13 jumped into my mind. I know I lurk a ton and love tit the shit out of this place, it just feels like home. I really love and appreciate the support that everyone gives to everyone, even when they mostly lurk. I guess what I'm trying to say is you ladies are kind of the best and thank you!
Guise, one of DH's friends on IG just posted an ecard about vaccines. His line of thinking?
"This is why I don't vaccinate my kids: vaccines cause autism and the chance of them working are slim to none."
ummmmmm, WUT?
These are people that are having KIDS. This is scary.
I hate that line of thinking. Such misinformation out there. This is why peer reviewed research is so critical.
For real. Holy shit. Where does he think the diseases of yesteryear went? I never get the whole vaccines don't work thing. People are so STUPID. I have unfollowed all anti vaxxers on my FB feed. It's been liberating.

It's been really hard for me to keep up with the daily thread because it's very Tl;dr. Maybe it's my add, but I don't have the focus to read 4 paragraphs at a time.

I'm sorry. Don't hate me.
I have days like that. What would you propose instead?

finnaroo, I'm not proposing anything. This is the way the board has evolved and it's totally fine. But I have found it harder and harder to keep up because I tend to write short and choppy.
I remember a while ago that someone fffc'd that it's really hard to read the daily threads because people tend to echo every poster and I can understand where they were coming from. I sometimes miss big news because it's hidden within paragraphs. I don't tend to say good luck or whatever to every single poster because I feel like the rhythm of the conversation is compromised. I usually just "like" someone else's post saying my sentiment.
I don't know, you are my homegirls and I have felt a lot of guilt about this so I felt like I should say something.
We all know how I feel about my sister. My mom called me on her lunch break and said that she was heading back from the funeral service for the child that my sister miscarried. It's something that the hospital does.
I'm admittedly jealous and angry. I would have loved some kind of recognition after my very much wanted pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. My sister, who openly wanted a miscarriage, not only got the outcome that she wanted, she gets to play the grieving mother, too.
no Cherhorowitz it's me too..With the new format it's even harder for me to read through everything because the font is so damn small and my eyes start to burn. I want so badly to keep abreast of everyone's news but most times I have to just skim through.

@mothereffer - GL at the ER and I'm sure everything will work out fine!
Cherhorowitz - I was wondering where you have been lately. I find myself not even opening the daily threads sometimes on the days that I'm late to them because I get overwhelmed. I admit that I've been missing having more threads that are more specific.
DC closes early today so I'll be leaving work early. We're supposed to get a mix of rain/ice/sleet tonight, rain all day tomorrow and snow Thursday. I want spring!
I just ate my salad for lunch and I have an unopened box of Samoas in my desk drawer. It's taking everything I have not to tear it open and binge. Tomorrow is my weigh in day so that's what's holding me back. For now.
