In Reply to: I don't think IVF is selfish for those that truly need it - sm - Laura E.
and had to have four operations just to get pregnant, I had severe polycystic ovarian disease all my life, the tears we both shed were unbelievable, but we would have gone on to adoption....thankfully, the last-distch operation which was risky worked and I got pregnant and had my daugher that same year (although I had a stroke with the pregnancy and a postpartum hemmorrhage where I almost went bye=bye), but I adore these kids even more, the two sons I had after Ashley were miracles, too. My friend who endured years of IVF was so SICK from all the meds and shots, she gained lots of weight, had horrible cramping at times, was nauseaous most of the time, and all she wanted was one healthy baby to love. As I said, she adopted finally, it took 2-1/2 years for it to go through, and THEN she spontaneously got pregnant and gave birth. So many stories like this!

Yes, God bless Fred, and God Bless you in your kindness and love...sm
We had to put two of our pets, to gorgeous cats that had been our babies for 16+ years, in much the same story, they had gotten to the point where they were suffering and would suffer more. Horrible, heartbreaking decision, hurts like heck, but I do believe there have to be darling pets in Heaven, I cannot imagine how it would be heaven without them, they are so precious and give us so much love and happiness! So sorry for your loss!
Thanks, Laura! I'm excited now! nm

to Now Laura and others: Separated sm
Separation papers were signed yesterday! Thank you to everyone for pushing me to make the decision. What followed was a visit to my pastor, visit to a women's advocate center, visit to an attorney, keeping a journal, him finding the journal and getting freaked out, and us making a separation agreement, which is now signed. It takes a year in our state for a divorce to become final.
Laura was my BF and after not talking to her sm
for 22 years, we got back in touch through classmates.com and now talk to her monthly.
Wow, Laura E, you are just an incredible ray of sunshine! Are you always
soooo positive?
Laura, what happened with the coat???? Any updates? nm

God bless you... sm
I will be praying for you. I deal with sadness at this time every year because of relatives who died very close to Christmas. You can't help but think of them. Know that God will help you through it, with time. I pray God's blessings and healing power over you and your family. We all have to hang in there together and lift each other up during the tough times. You will get through it, as one of the other posters said. Keep focused on precious memories of loved ones and your pets as well. That seems to help me the most, and knowing I'll see them again one day.
God bless them.

Bless you and her. Sometimes it is best to
It was a hard decision for me but I wanted my Lexi to not suffer.
Please consider taking her to the vet for a humane end to her suffering.
Bless you
for considering this. Shelters are overflowing! In order to make room for more animals, some will have to be put down. Fostering gives these animals a little more time to be considered for adoption. Years ago I adopted a wonderful 9-year-old Akita mix. She had been in the shelter for her allotted time, a few months, and would have been put down because she was so old & had health problems. A wonderful volunteer took her home & fostered her for 9 months before I finally saw Echo on the shelter's weekly TV spot, & it was love at first sight. I adopted her right away. She did have a lot of health problems but was with me for 18 months & had the golden retirement she deserved. All because of someone who was willing to foster her.
God bless you..
So hard to say goodbye, even knowing it's not forever.
Take care of yourself.
God Bless You....sm
You are an angel! I am an animal lover and especially dogs.
bless you.

God bless you!
You are a saint in my eyes. I love animals. I can't bear to see them with no home and no one to care for them.
God bless you, SM. sm
If only the world had more people like you, it would be a far better place.
In my book, people who abandon pets are on the same page as those who abandon babies, and deserve the same legal penalty. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. They get a slap on the wrist, nothing more, if that.
Thanks, God bless you, You never know who you may touch...nm

Just say a little prayer for her - she needs help! May God Bless her. nm

Bless your heart
Bless your heart...Fox looks like such a sweetie. I think the memory garden would be a wonderful idea.  Cat
Aww, bless your heart! I still
love what I do, but have only been doing it for 3 years. I feel totally blessed that I actually got to quit work when my kids were 2 and 3, go to school online and actually get to work from home so I can be where they need me when they need me. I can see why what else you're doing right now, though, is so much better than MTing! Have you ever been to Women of Faith?
Bless you and your kitty
We lost our 18-yo girl two years ago to renal failure. She didn't meow a lot, but seemed to really enjoy being held more than she ever did when she was younger. Just spend quality time with her; you'll never regret it.
God bless you for caring sm
We have kept our dogs for up to 16-17, until it would have been inhumane to let them suffer, so I can feel your pain. I cried more over my dogs than I did for family as the first one was born right here in our home as well and we treat our animals as one of us. Unless one is an animal lover, others cannot understand why you could be so heartbroken. My husband took it hard as well and we were both so distraught it was worse than a human death. We had ignorant people say ignorant things such as, "it's only a dog," etc. Be comforted in knowing that those of us who love animals feel your pain. It will take a long time to get over. I could not walk past the pet food aisle without tears. The only answer to my pain was guess what? Another pet if possible. Bless you, we are here to talk. Those of us who love animals know what you've been through. You feel helpless, I'm sure, but you did your best.
Bless your heart.

bless the moderator...
thank you
God bless you and your daughter -
It sounds like she really managed to communicate what she needed, even if she didn't know how!
Thank you for yet another perspective!
God bless Bella!
There are no words to express how sorry I am about the loss of your sweet Bella. May she rest in peace.
Awe, thanks for the update. Bless you for

bless your heart...
I know just in general with how the economy is & how transcription seems to be going downhill with outsourcing that alone is enough to get anybody down. Hang in there girl. Pray and believe and God will guide you!
Bless your heart. You just don’t know.
It is ok. If you want to say single when you were separated, go right ahead. No use in arguing. You win.
Like I said above, bless your heart.
Have it your wrong way. Am not arguing. A truly single woman is 1 who has never married. If you were married you are not then a single mother. You fall into 1 of 3 categories. If you do not understand, have it your own way. I think women go by this term so others will feel sorry for them. My view on the term single woman.
Well bless your heart.

Of course bless the innocents...
No one in their right mind would place any blame or responsibility on the victims.
I was just thinking about what would drive someone to behave so violently. He obviously was troubled. His family will be vilified while they are grieving.
I often look at things from an odd angle.
Bless your heart....sm
I think I could see them die by lethal injection if they killed someone I loved. I can't say for sure cause I haven't been in that situation, but I think the anger for what the person did would be so much that I would have no problem watching them die.
Then again I may would just want to not be present out of the fact I did not want to lay eyes on them or go through the stress.
My babies liked them, and ....
I liked them, too; once I got used to them that is. It took me a bit to position them in there just so, in a way that I felt they were comfortable. I used it a lot - much easier on tired arms! I also used a front carrier when they were a little older, (like a couple of months old), and liked that just as well. :-)
babies
Forgot I cannot use quotes. My babies are not mine - niece has babies, I just get to be surogate grandma for them. Wish they were my own, but unfortunately, I am way toooo old to raise babies!!
These are my babies....sm
This is CJ, which if you believe others, would be a evil, dangerous, not to be trusted pitbull. NOT!! He is so sweet. Also the beagle is my Darla. She is very fat and very lazy. CJ and Darla are bestest friends.
my babies!
Boy Bailey (white one) and Girl Rylee
Both now 2.5 and about 50 pounds!
i love them to pieces!

Having babies.......
In our case, my hubby and I were married two years before we started our family. My niece, who was 22 at the time, was married less than six months when they decided to have a child. My daughter, now 25, was married 4 years before they started working on a baby and she is now due in February.
Another friend of the family, also in her mid 20s, was married less than a year as well when they decided to have a baby. Another niece was married 10 years before they caved in, or should I say she caved in. Her husband has been wanting a child for years but she was too worried her figure would suffer... (OH BOY!) Well, she is now due in a couple of weeks and he is elated. He is now 36 years old and I too think he has waited long enough. She will have that child so spoiled.
All in all, you need to decide these thing beforehand. If you guys have been together for a while, then maybe starting a family within a year or so isn't such a big deal. I don't really go for all this getting to know one another stuff. You should already know one another before the wedding anyway. So many couples have been together these days for years before getting hitched that I don't really see the need to wait any particular length of time before starting a family.
I must say though, having babies in your 20s is a lot easier when it comes to chasing them around and getting up in the middle of the night over and over. I've had friends have children in their mid to late 30s and a couple in their 40s, and I have to say they lack the energy, especially the 40 somethings. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Just be glad he is looking forward to children and to being a father.... too many dads out there who don't give a rip!
These are my babies....sm
The big bulldog is much more of a tit than the beagle believe it or not. He would just die if I left him somewhere. I don't know what to do with him if we go somewhere.
Bless your heart for caring!

How wonderful! God bless your family.
And you even get to avoid most of the heat here in Georgia during the pregnancy. LOL Seriously, a baby is such a blessing. I'm tickled for you and your family.
bless you.....mine was only 231, so I am feeling
pretty lucky to have caught it early. My Dad has high cholesterol that he has to take meds for and I am trying to avoid that, but like you said, you can't choose genetics. I am walking and eating better. Good recommendation on the fish oil pills and garlic. I can handle that, just cannot handle the taste of fish unless it is shrimp or lobster and can't afford the lobster all the time, so there ya go. Good luck getting yours back down!!
Bless your heart, don’t know a 2006 BMW
when you see one. Sorry maybe your day will come one of these days. Good luck!
Already bought twice since Friday. Bless them.

Bless my heart, I do know. I had the guts to
take the help that was needed to feed and clothe my kids. That was 20+ years ago and I would do it all again to see my children healthy and happy. 
Bless you, you have a kind heart! ....nm

and someday, men WILL be having babies...n/m
I'm walking for babies!
Hello everybody!
I posted this before but i wanted to repost and explain some things. First of all, i never ever receive any of the money when you donate it goes straight to the Walk America people. I just thought this was for a really good cause and thought maybe some of you would want to be included on this serious problem in our world. You can donate as little or as much as you want.
http://www.walkamerica.org/tanyabyer
That is the website they made for me. I'll be walking 4-14 in my hometown. Or if you know anybody that would want to be included let them know! Thanks so much for your time and i won't repost this again lol. Just thought some of you thought maybe it was a scam or something.
Thanks again.
My Furry Babies
The bigger one is Mojo and the skinnier one is Mimi. Mimi showed up on our door a year ago as a stray - very skittish, skin and bones. She disappeared a month later, showed back up two months after that and has never tried to leave the house again!
