OK, drama time...

I'm over sunshine missions.  They are becoming overdone.  It seems like someone gets a hang nail and a sunshine mission gets started for them.  

I respectfully disagree. A second trimester loss is far more devastating than a hang nail. C'mon Liz. Sunshine Missions are normally about loss. This UO made me cringe so bad.

On the topic of messages and notifications, I hate that you get a notification when someone responds to a message. You already get a message notification if there is a response after you open the message so it's a bit overboard to also get a notification, IMO. 

My UO....I think kissing in the rain is overrated.

PrimRoseMama

I know everyone has problems but FFS-- getting upset about doing something nice for someone going through a second later-term loss because it clogs up your inbox? Jesus Christ, dude.

Also, I don't think there is any kind of qualification other than a horrible event that ruins your life pretty effectively.

I mean, I understand if you can't give or if you don't want to (for whatever) but it's not about you.

C'mon man! X_X

You are right, hang nail was a wrong choice if wording.

That came off pretty rude. If you don't want to participate that's fine. Personally I love sunshine missions! If I had everyone's address I would probably send a card for a hangnail! I like to let people know I'm thinking of them! And sometimes a card is all it takes to brighten someone's day.

Um. Maybe I can lighten this up a little? Or maybe my UO will be very unpopular

I think thongs are uncomfortable. All of them. I will wear them for function, but I hate having something in my crack. This may partly be because they don't fit or look like they used to though

Oh man! Totally with you!

That was pretty bad. I know that if heaven forbid I had another loss and I read that a week after I would cry ugly tears. My loss was at six weeks and I was in bed for two weeks. I lost 10 pounds. I wanted the world to end. I can't even fathom how devastated I would be if I had two later losses and my supposed friends thought it equated to a hangnail and didn't deem it worthy of sympathy in a manner that many others had received.

I just feel like this conversation should end, given the women on the board who might be reading this. Call me a softie.

Yes, I agree. @liz4444 was that an apology? I think it kinda was.

It wasn't. It was a sorta kind of acknowledgement that she was offensive. She needs to nut up and actually apologize.

I don't drink sodas...for several reasons, but a sonic cherry coke sounds soooo super good right now. Let's hope Oliver wakes up before happy hours is over. [-O<

I think sunflower seed butter is almost as tasty as peanut butter and way better than almond butter.

@mystererae Sunflower seed butter? I've never heard of this. I'm intrigued.

Trader Joes!

Thanks! Unfortunately, there isn't a TJ too close to us. There is a Wegmans. Sometimes they have stuff like that in their health food section. If not, the next time I'm at a TJs I'll pick some up. I'm always looking for healthier alternatives.

Wegmans has it.

An early FFFC when they came out with the yellow first down line on TV, I said "How do they move the line so fast?"

The room got really quiet.

My early fffc...I don't really have any idea what you're talking about.  Some football reference?

I was a recipient of a Sunshine Mission after my Dad passed. It truly touched me. I just really hope that others that have had other types of losses & received SM-packages don't get their feelings hurt.

That's the first thing I thought too. I don't want anyone's feelings to be hurt.
I have been a part of 4 sunshine missions and I thought they were all pretty damn good reasons.

@lizabethann06 : :x

I still feel so much appreciation for all the sweet words & generous gifts that were sent. I really can't say enough about it. I feel paying it forward as best I can. Even if it's a PM, sending a hand-written note or GC-- it's worth it to me to have some notifications.

Although it was hilarious, it was totally not cool of Travolta to mispronounce Idina Menzel's name like that. Unprofessional and disrespectful.

Agree - it is called practice! Practice pronouncing it correctly!

Im only on pg 2 so sorry if someone mentioned it but I read an article where one of the actors shows that they are given pieces of papers showing how to pronounce names. He totally had no reason to fuck up.

Truth.

I haven't had a loss. I don't know that I deserved a Sunshine Mission more than other people here who are also dealing with difficult things.

But I have been in a dark place at times in the last 9.5 months. I have struggled. Much of that time, my whole world was a single hospital room. I have felt intensely isolated. There have been many, many days where you ladies are the only people I talked to besides DH and medical staff. I can't tell you how much that package meant to me.

I think instead of social groups the BGs need to work on a "leave conversation" option for PMs.

I think you can choose not to have notifications for PMs:

I turned mine off... send me a PM and we'll see if it works.

I do apologize if I offended people, my wording was poor. And I said previously, it has nothing to do with the recipient.

(We are on a play date and then going out to eat, I am not ignoring)

Liz, I like you. It's not just about the wording but the way you expressed yourself about the Sunshine Mission made it seem like it was a waste of time to you & not worth anything. You may feel very differently & you have given support on board & off.

It just shocked me that it appeared to be an inconvenience to you because of notifications? Then there is the dismissal of very serious, personal tragedies. It sounded callous.

I'm not sure there is an *if* you offended-- but that you did. No one who has been gifted with an SM package has ever expressed entitlement or anything negative. All I've ever seen is appreciation & humble thanks.

I don't like the tip-toeing towards the Pain Olympics either. If someone is going through a major event or loss then it's up to them to share. If they don't then it's not favoritism to reach out to those that share.

I don't understand turning a nice gesture like this into something negative, @liz4444 ?

I'm here and my stomach aches from what Liz said. The insensitivity and callousness here is unbelievable at best.  Could you have PM'd everyone and left the recent recipients off so they wouldn't read this? Can you think of others more than yourself?

Not surprised one bit because this is someone who has a stick so far up her almighty butt that she won't love tit anyone. Oh wait, Jackson squeezed one out. Yay.

 

I think a BAND THE LIZ4444 LOVE TIT mission is in order!! 

When Liz isn't to selfish, resume titting. Only after she truly apologizes and starts to tit other people. 

Who wants to sign the petition to BAND THE LIZ444 LOVE TIT mission, any takers?

I say we all just let it go. I hope everyone hurt got to say their piece but let's drop before it hurts any more or before our Mod has to deal with our shit again today. She deserves better too.

I don't think anyone is saying anything worthy of a mod intervening.

Agree. I think a real apology would go a long way. That, up there, is not a real one, IMHO. There is no question the UO hurt people.
