It's supposed to feel like 41 degrees Celsius (that's about 106 Fahrenheit) here today and I'm going to an outdoor event that doesn't involve swimming.
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
I was just over on TB to see if folks needed directions over here. I found that I had a warning from the admins in my inbox. It read:
"It has been brought to our attention that you are sending users spam via private message. This is your [first, second, third] warning, regarding the following message: “ goodbyecb.proboards.com/ ;“ You are being warned for a violation of the TOU, which states: If you post something to the Site, such as comments or other content, do not post anything that:advertises or solicits business for products or services other than those that are offered and promoted on the Site.

It's such a ridiculous warning. I was private messaging people in response to their own requests for information. As I said in my reply message, if someone asked for helpful sites on breastfeeding, would I not be allowed to offer that information to them via private message?

I got a similar message months ago and then they kept my account active for a while. Suddenly, I became unable to sign in, but could see that all of my information was still there. I sent an email request because I couldn't login and they let me know that I had banned due to a TOU violation; I asked them to delete all of my information, it took about a month.
I think they have software that scans for specific things, I read that some people have used bit.ly to shorten the link therefore disguising it.
Their response is absolutely ridiculous; you're right there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to refer someone privately to another site.

Kudos to folks who posted directions to the site, it's far more useful and inclusive than TB.... and it's not like they're hurting for traffic.
I also heard it was going to be 41 this weekend, so I'm pleased that we won't be here as we only have one window A/C unit. We're going to a birthday dinner tonight, staying over at my SIL's, and then going to a Jays game tomorrow. I'm hoping that being busy will keep me from over-thinking and being impatient.
Funny convo from last night between my wife and I:
Me: Are you anxious to find out if Maybe is in there? (Maybe is the name we gave my uterus while we don't know what is going on.)
DW: No, but then again you tend to be more......... (I think she was looking for the word impatient). It's like leading up to Christmas when you always want to open presents early, I like the anticipation because it's over before you know it.
Me: (laughing) I'm impatient, but I'm still awesome. And it's not like that at all... it's not like you wait in excitement two weeks before Christmas and then someone tells you "there will be no Christmas."
I do think that conversation sums us up perfectly though, we work well because she's so laid back - and I'm definitely not.

I am SO glad I was given direction over here. I lurked around over there for close to a month and only felt comfortable enough to start one post. I was here for only a few days and felt instantly comfortable and welcome.
I spent from 7-3 outside doing yard work. It was HOT. Very glad to have A/C. We got O a little kiddie swimming pool on clearance at Target, she loved it (so did the 80 pound dog)!
DW and I are attending her military ball next week so I dragged her into David's Bridal today. I only had to try on 3 different dresses and ended up loving and buying the very first one! J felt extra patriotic because the dresses we picked just happened to be red, white, and blue. Yay America? Now I just need shoes...
Bonus: The dress was on clearance for only $40
I love getting things on Clearance / Sale; way to go!

honigbiene and kona: No melting here, I actually skipped the event because I really wasn't in the mood and hung out with friends instead.
My SIL was hosting a get together to make an announcement, and I was 99% percent sure it was going to be a pregnancy announcement - not confirmed yet because I was asleep when C got home.
I know that makes me sound like a bit of a jerk but she hosted a dinner to announce that she was trying....for number 3.
I'm having plain Greek yogurt with agave and frozen raspberries in it for breakfast. This is one of my favorite breakfasts. Mmmmm. (Don't get me wrong-- I'd rather be having biscuits and gravy if I were in the southern U.S. Or eggs hashbrowns and bacon here. But today i have to work on a project so there is no breakfast out for me. ) Anyone out there having anything great for breakfast/brunch that they want to tell us about?

Morning! I signed up to work today 10-2. Not that bad but it's still working a weekend. I'm trying to work as much as I can.
I just had to interpret a horrible conversation, that was disgusting and heartbreaking because there was a small child seeing the whole thing. I love my profession, but sometimes I have fantasies about working in a bakery making cupcakes. I need a low stress job.
Witty- I'm so glad to hear that you skipped all that nonsense to stay home and take care of yourself
Healz- right now I'm still lying half dead in my bed, but when I get up, my breakfast is going to consist of about 3 massive pots of coffee. I got home from work at nearly 3 am. Was supposed to punch out at 11pm, but typical to a Friday night, the ER exploded at about 10pm. And then one of the dogs woke me up puking at 6am. Ugh. My shift tonight is going to be painful.
healz413, I made breakfast burritos for us, well minus R. Eggs, cheese, guca, sour cream, wrapped in corn tortilla. They were tasty. I wanted to add black beans but ours were old and stinky.
What I REALLY wanted for breakfast was pancakes smothered in syrup, coffee with caffeine, a mimosa and fruit salad. This is making me drool.....
healz413 DW actually did make pancakes, we usually do pancakes Sat morning. My fav is with mini chocolate chips and local syrup, YUM! It used to be after a nice morning run or bike ride but not so much anymore since O doesn't sleep,ever.
@suesposa, I was unaware that "caught a wild hare" was an expression and thought that you would be having rabbit for breakfast. I was confused by the presence of turkey bacon instead

On the breakfast/brunch theme, J is making breakfast today. I do all the cooking since J works 15 hours a day. Plus I just really love cooking. She caught a wild hare and decided to try her hand at a meal this weekend. She is making turkey bacon, pancakes, and skillet potatoes. We are also having fruit I cut up the other day. I prefer waffles, but I broke the cheap waffle maker we had, so today I settle for pancakes.
wittyandwaiting, I usually do not like flags on things, but that first pair of shoes totally belong in my closet. I saw them and fell in love lol. For the ball I want sky high gold sparkly shoes. DW is 6ft tall and im 5'6", so I like to come up to her level sometimes
honigbiene, thank you for pointing out my total noob status and inability to post photos I hope this works, forgive me if it doesn't. Also, my boobs are not quite as nice as the models, so I will definitely be buying some cutlets for illusion. No shame lol.

And to be honest, I really needed to do me.
Not at all jerky, good for you for setting boundaries and taking care of yourself.

LOL! I had also thought that a rabbit was snared in a trap, and you were frying it up.
SuEsposa- I bet you're smokin hot in that dress!!
Tonight I was helping a drunken assault victim into the hospital doors from the parking lot, and the jerk fricking spit blood all over me. Luckily neither I nor the resource nurse located any cuts or anything on my skin, and nothing got in my face. Otherwise I would have had to cancel this IUI in order to do a blood exposure protocol. I was already livid enough about the whole thing.
At least I got to punch out on time for once. Today ended up being CD 1 for me, so I have to drive to the clinic asap tomorrow morning for an u/s.
Does anyone else have anything exciting going on this week?
I was off the grid yesterday, but I will jump in because I had a yummy brunch yesterday! We met my MIL for brunch and a little shopping yesterday. We tried a new restaurant that just opened, and it was DELICIOUS. I had an egg white omelet with mushrooms, onions and spinach, hash brown potatoes and an English muffin. The portions were ginormous, so none of us could finish our meals, but SOOO tasty! William had a blueberry pancake. He loved it!
wittyandwaiting - sounds like a smart decision to skip that gathering!
@suesposa - I definitely also thought that the rabbit was for breakfast. I too have LOTS of sayings (courtesy of my mother) that few people have ever heard of before, so I appreciate a new one!
My breakfast this morning is fruit and greek yogurt. This thread is making me wish I had something else!!!
