I know there's been a lot of "Thank you" posts and "I love you ladies" posts lately, but I just wanted to say that I'm so thankful to have this safe haven to come to where I know people truly understand.
I just came back from FB where my (distant) cousin announced her pregnancy. It's been a while since anyone's announced. In fact, there were like three right after my m/c and there didn't seem to be any until now. Plus, people are buzz buzz buzzing about Kourtney Kardashian's pregnancy.
I'm just so glad to have this board and you ladies and I'm so sorry any of us have to be here, whether it's been long or short term, none of us deserve to have been dealt this hand in life.
Because you're all SO awesome... here's some hot buttered rum for you ladies in colder climates.
Yeah, I'm kinda avoiding FB lately. I happen to look yesterday and saw this total turd from high school announce her pregnancy.....in addition to the gazillion others in the past month. I'm just a little over sensitive at the moment, and frankly, don't care.
While I'm so new here, it is great to have support. My husband is happy I have a place to go to vent and get advice from people who have been here. It is just really nice.
And thanks for the cocktail. It is starting to snow here in Tahoe, sooooo a hot buttered rum sounds awesome!

I agree!! I hate how we all had to "meet" but I feel so blessed. I have made some of the best friends from this board and I couldn't picture life now without these ladies, not only have you all been there for me thru my loss, but also my divorce and yall let me stick around when really I have no business being here. I love you ladies. I feel like yall are my big extended family that gets me better then my real family.

I agree. I also think that you are a wonderful person, Maxsom. You seem to be such a great support, always offering advice and words of wisdom. I hope that great things come to you, soon.

I completely agree with everyone! It really is so nice to talk to women that understand! I dont check FB unless something pops up on my IPhone that someone sent me. It is just to heart breaking... always about babies and kids.
I live here in Ft Worth, it was 53 degrees, so you know everyone here had to bust out thier gloves and scarfs! haha
I would love Candy Cane Cocktail pretty please!

I also am very thankful for this board. I go to other boards and am SO glad we don't have many of the crazies that seem to be filling the other ones up. (knock on wood) lol.
Both of those cocktails look great. I don't know how I would've gotten past these two years without the amazing people I met on this board. I have so many people blocked because some days it's too tough to see certain updates and pics on fb.

I am still a noob, but I agree! Y'all are my favorite group of people right now. True story!
But... and this might sounds a little creepercakes... you're MY noob. I claim you, because you're cool, you live in my town, and I can't wait until we get to GTG. I vote we meet here...
That being said. I wouldn't have been able to get through any of this, without all of you. So, to tha ladies who showed me the way when I was a noob, the ladies who are my contemporaries, and the new ladies who recently joined us...
I'll raise a glass of ^THAT^ hot chocolate for you!
I'm so jealous.. I would love a Petra date..

I agree completely. I look forward to getting off work, well, besides the obvious. I miss you ladies during the day. I feel so behind when I've been offline for 10 hours lol.
Thanks for posting this maxsom. When I joined this board a bit ago it was the first time in a long time where I felt like I actually belonged some where. Big squishy hugs to you all.
