Guys, I'm not going to defend what @Liz4444 said today, but I think there's a lot more to her than many of you realize.
It's a little harsh to say that someone lacks compassion and empathy, don't you think? One really can't tell what's on someone's heart at all times.
As I said earlier today, Liz has been very generous to me in the past. I won't go into specific details about it bc she went out of her way to be private about it and I want to respect that privacy. But my point is that sometimes there is more to someone than meets the eye.
You can dislike what someone says without disliking a person entirely. You can disagree with someone without swearing them off.
I'm not saying this to white knight Liz. She doesn't need my help in that department and may even be uncomfortable (I hope not) reading this. I'm just saying that there may be more to this.
I'm going to keep organizing sunshine missions and I'm going to keep being a Liz fan.
All of this. Having met Liz IRL, I can say that she doesn't go out of her way to hurt people and is pretty awesome. I don't agree with her about the SM's (though I do agree that the PM's are annoying when I have like 80 notifications), but its possible she's having a shitty day and lashed out, or simply typed before thinking...we've all done it. I think the pitchforks can go away now, you've all made your point.
I am sincerely sorry for anyone I hurt, it wasn't the intention.
@fklang, I haven't the foggiest what I have ever done to you, but please feel free to go to the NYC meet up, things have come up for me on both dates.
I thought you were mean, snooty and bitchy. But I didn't think you would sincerely aplogize either. So maybe I'm wrong.
A little birdie told me to stay out of this thread today and I should have listened, she's a smart little birdie.
But since I didn't listen, I just want to throw it back out there that you all may never know the depth of how touched I was when I received my SM. So, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you again.
I know that compared to a late term loss, my situation is a hang nail. But, even though I never felt my future babies kicking, heard their heartbeats, watched them grow, I mourned them, and I still do every day. On particularly rough days, I read a card or two from J13 and I feel better.
@2012ames - I started and restarted this several times, nothing seemed right. So I'll just say - don't diminish what happened to you just because someone was an internet jerk. And hugs.
this.
You suffered a loss. It may not be the same type of loss as others but it's a true loss. Like many women who mourn their pregnancy loss they mourn the future they had with that baby. You are mourning the loss of the future you had with your babies. Don't diminish that.

I'm just seeing this now (as I scroll for reading material because I'm now up with the 2 and 4 year Olds uh). And even days later, I was sad for you!!! Lol, sleep babies, sleep!
Re: UO
theres probably at least 3-4 bumpkin bars between @ashie624 and I. How far are you willing to drive @Kitten80
To hang with fellow bumpies that love some Malibu/fruity drinks, far
