1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? TTC #1 since march

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
Charting and temping for now

11 dpo and tested today BFN. Temp hasn't dropped below cover line yet but feeling crampy so I think I am out.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
I was way too hopeful and now I'm feeling bummed.

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?
The Little Couple. Those babies are so freaking adorable.

gabbagal · June 2014

Thanks for doing this, @tlc35 and sorry for your disappointment this cycle

1. Gabbagal from MA

2. TTC #1 off and on (mixed with NTNP) for the last couple of years

3. I met with an RE in February, started, then delayed diagnostic testing, now will finally have my follow-up to discuss the results next week

4. In the 2ww

5. Not feeling particularly hopeful, but this was not a cycle we really put our all into so I can't really complain if nothing comes of it

QOTW: I have way too many guilty pleasure shows to name, but in general, I really like shows about people really different from me, on either extreme (Real Housewives, 19 Kids and Counting, Sister Wives, etc.) and basically any show where you don't want to "stare" but you can't look away.

Lesliem0901 · June 2014

1. Margaret from Michigan
2. TTC#1 since June 2012 (sigh - 2 year mark)
3. Seeing an RE and acupuncturist. This cycle was my fifth IUI with injectables and trigger shot
4. I'm 12 DPO. No symptons at all...
5. Odds are very much against me this cycle. Just not feeling it...
QOTW: Hands-down "Gypsy Sisters" and "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding". I can't get enough!

marijaa333 · June 2014

1. Maria, DC

2. I'm a newbie and just getting ready to TTC#1 in a month or so - gathering info and ordered an OPK (Clearblue monitor and strips)

3. This cycle, I'm compiling lists of possible ob/gyns and general doctors. I also have a 23-year history of severe cystic acne, which I have kept under some control with a variety of strong meds over the years, but have had to go off most of them months ago in order to TTC. So I'm also looking at acceptable treatments in pregnancy, as well as a capable dermatologist. Finally, I'm looking at various tests that are now available - fascinating stuff!

4. Just about to start a new cycle, so PMSing!

5. How do you feel about this cycle? No expectations, just starting out.

QOTW: Guilty pleasure TV show? Louie

bumpuser10258960 · June 2014

Liz from Jacksonville, Florida
TTC for 2 months
Right now we are just "seeing how it goes". I am charting. After 6 months, I'll start temping and using OPK strips
I'm at CD2 right now. My cycle lasted 32 days again this month, so I'm thinking that this is my "new normal" cycle and will start charting based on that info.

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

Orange is the New Black, The Good Wife and Scandal are my top 3 at the moment.

kelley72 · June 2014

tlc35 sorry about the neg... I'm right there with you,

sounds like a few of us are cycling together...

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from. Kelley in Georgia

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? 2nd cyle

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? On our own, charting

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? 13dpo... tested neg at 10dpo, probably going to test in the AM

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) Last night and early this am I thought, yes I might be... these nipples are doing something! but now later on I'm feeling like no probably not, so basically I'm riding the crazy train!

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show? I love Housewives of Orange County, I will flip on the other's (New Jersey, etc) for a minute but I am engrossed by the characters of the OC

Austrogermokee · June 2014

1. Austrogermokee from Baltimore, Maryland.

2. TTC#1 since 9/2013.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?

This is our last natural cycle, if I'm not pregnant we'll try Femara next cycle. Our Dx is "normal infertile" which I think is a new PC term for unexplained infertility.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?

I'm 10 dpo, tested this morning and BFN. I got my hopes up a little because DH made me a cold cut sandwich last night and the smell of the meat made me want to hurl. But I also get migraines when PMSing which can make my sense of smell super sensitive, so that seems more likely.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

I'm not out until AF, but I don't feel very hopeful. Migraines are a mindscrew because so many symptoms are similar to pregnancy - nausea, fatigue, headache, etc. So I never know what to think.

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

Reign. I love that show. If I wasn't already trying to have DH's babies, I'd want to have its babies. Secret children living within the walls, Nostradamus as a sexy gravelly-voiced romantic, Anne of Green Gables playing evil Catherine de Medici, costumes that are Renaissance by way of Forever 21 - it's just an absolute hoot.

latershrader · June 2014

1. soontobeshrader from Virginia

2. TTC#1 for 18 months

3. Weight loss! I hit the halfway mark, so I'm pretty proud of that. I contacted my nurse at the RE's office to get consents signed and the rest of our testing done. I am gearing up to be doing my first IUI by the end of July. Super excited!

4. 2ww, AF due tomorrow. Will test this weekend if she doesn't show.

5. Eh. Not hopful but I suppose it's possible.

QOTW: I record so many guilty pleasure shows. 19 Kids & Counting, Little People, Devious Maids, Drop Dead Diva, Sister Wives. There are more...but that's what I can think of now.

Austrogermokee · June 2014

Congrats on the weight loss!

danieleandwayne · June 2014

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from. Daniele in Maine.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? I guess this is technically month 2 of TTC #2. There were 2 months in between these cycles in which I had my CP.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? For now, we're trying to just chart temps and OPKs. I'm hoping that my body remembers what it did a year + ago so we don't end up taking another 18 months to get KU this time.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? Waiting to O. I'm later than usual, but my miscarriage took 9-10 days instead of my normal 4-5 days of AF. So I'm hoping that's the only issue. I've only had one period since my dd was born a year ago, so it's hard to tell if my cycle is truly back to normal at this point.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) Hopeful, anxious-- I really want to space my kids' birthdays out a bit if possible (I've always wanted a winter baby but truly we have a TON of family birthdays in May-July so it's hard on scheduling and bank accounts!)-- but I'm not super positive given the delay in Oing and my chances of getting a BFP the cycle immediately after my miscarriage is not statistically or historically in my favour.

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show? At one point, I remember watching "Charmed" about 10 years ago. Now, I don't watch a lot of TV so when I do, it's usually stuff like "Bones" and "Master Chef."

Radiantly · June 2014

Thanks for starting this thread. This is my favorite part of the week! Hump day and check-in day!

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
Radiantly, from Brooklyn NY.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TTC#1 since our honeymoon last August but not timing it/temping it until December. It's been about 4-5 months of what I think is timing it right.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
Hoping.

temping, charting OPK, trying to go to acupuncture weekly, took robitussen a few days before O. Fertility tea. Arvigo Maya self-massage.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
DPO9

Feeling very tired but could be jet lag. Boobs might feel extra sensitive but might be in my head. A few twinges. Will wait to Saturday to test (AF due Sunday), maybe wait that long but IDK!

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
I'm in 5th month of timing it well. On DPO9 and already starting to feel like this month isn't the month. But that's to steel myself against the dissapointment. But I was just listening to an uplifting podcast saying you need to envision what you want to create it... and I haven't been doing much envisioning, so maybe thinking I need to imagine a blossoming uterus creating life. Maybe I will try to meditate on that.
QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

Ummmmm, I like Top Chef a lot.

Lesliem0901 · June 2014

Woot woot, @soontobeshrader!!! That is awesome news!!

kindershlitz · June 2014

Thank you @tlc35 for getting this started.

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.

Kindershlitz in MI

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TTC #2 11th cycle
3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
I dropped the ball temping, but using opks, pnvs, and trying to clean up my diet. I have a 2nd consult w/OB next Wednesday.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? AF is due next Wednesday so hopefully I can get a blood test from an HPT and not need my consult!

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

Trying to be hopeful but overall getting down about it all, especially since DH will be gone during predicted FW in July.

6. TLC junkie! I love their shows for different reasons- Little Couple (they're amazing), 19 Kids (huh?, how?), Gypsies, (wow), but I can't get on board with Honey Boo Boo. Just started Modern Family reruns and love it- I know we don't have DVR, Netflix etc.

PGwithNo3 · June 2014

1. PGwithNo3, from New England

2. TTC #3, this will be our 2nd round of IUI with 1 month off due to cysts.

3. Planning IUI, using injections. Day #8

4. Waiting to O - am having cramps that are BAD this time.

5. So anxious!

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show? - Teenager TV shows like the Vampire Diaries.

mdogan29 · June 2014

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
Melanie in NC

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
TTC #1 since 2/2013, MC 10/2013, spent 7 months getting healthy, just starting to TTC again this month/cycle and believe I'm a few days before O

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? Using Ovia fertility phone app and OPK to chart all details. I've done 2 rounds of Femara (Letrozole) b/c progesterone level was lower than OB wanted to see. I think nurse said it was 2 and they were hoping for 15 (after round 1). I'll be going in on 6/27 to do labs for round 2. -- Oh! I'm also doing acupuncture too, I believe that helped me get BFP the first time, so had first session w/ her last week!

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? Waiting to O, on CD 13. But I have been experiencing nausea, but it may be due to increased iron intake and also a little pain in my ovary area, but read that it could be side effect from Femara.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Very hopeful, since it's first time TTC since 2013! But a little nervous and anxious at the same time, trying to stay positive and be patient!

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show? I am a sucker for home improvement shows, I'm watching all of the HGTV ones right now - Property Brothers & Brother vs. Brother, Love it or List it, Flip or Flop, Fixer Upper, etc. I used to watch Pretty Little Liars (which I would never admit to before), but it just got too ridiculous and I was tired of being strung along!

TAT2MAMI · June 2014

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
Tat2Mami from Northern California

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
4th Cycle

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
Using Ovia app and being aware of when I ovulate.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
CD 9 .. My FW is in 3 days

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Feeling the same as usual. Hopeful, but not too hopeful.

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show? I love reality shows. Real Housewives of Orange County, Beverly Hills, and Atlanta. While I was home recuperating, I watched A LOT of Keeping Up With The Kardashians! I'll pretty much watch almost anything on E, Bravo, or VH1.

URMySunshine77 · June 2014

Thanks @tlc35 for starting this thread. Can we still do call-outs each week?

1. URMySunshine77 from Northern California

2. TTC#2 for four months

3. I'm charting, temping, taking PNV, some acupuncture, slowly reducing caffeine.

4. CD13. I expect that I will O on CD17 or CD18; however, FF marked my O day as CD19 after my LP lengthened in last month's cycle. I hope that is the case because DH returns from a trip that day.

5. I am not getting my hopes up since our timing my be too late. I'm really focusing on relaxation and not obsessing this cycle. I think acupuncture has helped me relax.

GTKY: My guilty pleasure TV shows would be Real Housewives of Orange County and Top Chef. We don't have a TV, so I sometimes watch the shows free on Bravo.com.

I want to call out @LeslieM0901 because I've been chart stalking you and crossing my fingers. :x

NeonNoon · June 2014

1. NeonNoon, Texas

2. TTC #1, 2nd cycle

3. Temping

4. WTO - hasn't made me immune to phantom symptoms! I have the flu (fatigue, minor nausea and tummy trouble) that got me wasting 3 HPTs, in spite of normal AF and sustained lower BBT. Feel pretty foolish.

5. Worried

6. Duck Dynasty - baffled as to why those women are married to those men. If I just watch long enough, I'll figure it out. That's my excuse anyway.

Lesliem0901 · June 2014

@URMySunshine77 - You are so sweet. Please stalk away b/c I really don't know what my chart is "saying" other than I haven't crossed below the horizontal line.

graceanne927 · June 2014

@tlc35 - Thanks for the check in!
1. Grace from SC

2. TTC #2, 4 AL

3. temping, opks, pnv, raspberry tea, healthy diet

4.CD 28, AF should arrive tomorrow. I tested on cd11 & bfn...clinging to a little bit of hope that 11 dpo may have been too early & so far I haven't started spotting which is customary before AF.

5. Doubtful

6. I love Downton Abby! I hate and despise that it only comes on once a year...such a long wait. I want to start Game of Thrones on Netflix...opinions? Also, I keep hearing about Orange is the New Black all of a sudden so I may need to look into that too.

@URMySunshine77 - I"m a faithful watcher of RHOC too. I am sensing some major drama brewing up this season

That show makes me feel like I live a v drama free life.

mdogan29 - I love the HGTV channel too! Property Virgins was filming in my neighborhood not too long ago.

@soontobeshrader - Congrats on reaching your goal half way! I'm sure seeing the results of that keeps you motivated to keep at it.

kelley72 Good luck if you test again tomorrow morning...I might be doing the same! FX'd for us both!!

hooligans4 · June 2014

@graceanne927 I am going to start watching game of thrones on HBO go. I read all the books and loved them. I think I might even reread them soon also. I did watch the first season already but was finding it hard to watch because even though I would put it on late at night one of my kids was always coming out and there are many things I don't want them seeing.
I say go for it.

mattandlora · June 2014

Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
Lora, Ohio

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
NTNP #2, just counting cycle days to see our chances x6 cycles

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
This cycle = counting cycle days. This is month 6 of counting days. If this doesn't work, we'll do more.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?

I'm in the 2WW but not expecting much. DTD on O-3, then DH got a kidney stone and that was it for my fertile days. I'm on DPO #6 and just feel bloated, but I've also started eating carbs again after a solid 5 months without them. (Laziness, not any other reason). My boobs hurt too, but I'm weaning DS#1.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Doubtful....for reasons mentioned above

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

WELL...DH and I just finished binge-watching Game of Thrones and caught up with the finale this week. But I don't really feel guilty about that since it is so popular. No, I guess my *guilty* pleasure is binge-watching HGTV and DIY network all weekend. I especially like Love it or List It and Property Brothers. Oh, and the ones where people are house-hunting internationally or on the beach. I'm like "GEEZ, what do these people do for a living??"

aswedishbee · June 2014

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
Sara - NC

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
Been TTC for 7 months, will hopefully begin again in July after a MMC in April. (Silly question: is that TTC#2 or is it still #1? I can see it both ways - and am not sure of the correct way to put it...)

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?

I'm not doing anything yet - AF just returned. Will be charting and start back on OPKs shortly.

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?

I'm at an "exciting" CD2

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

This cycle will be all about gathering data and "practice" ;0)

I'm happy to finally be able to get back on track with TTC and hopeful that my cycle will snap back right away (AF arrived on schedule according to Fertility Friend so my fingers are crossed)

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?

Real Housewives of NJ for sure!

graceanne927 · June 2014

hooligans4 - OK great! I didn't know it was based off a book series also...def want to check those out also! Thanks

thirtyninetoforty · June 2014

1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from. Paige from PA

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? Since January, TTC #1

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? RE, Vit/Min, Clomid, steroid, charting/temping, OPK, IUI with donor sperm

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? CD 17 No O this month. Need to wait a couple weeks to take Provera and try again next cycle

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) Bust!

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show? I like to watch a lot of old re-runs of shows like Roseanne, Everybody Loves Raymond, Reba...

mdogan29 · June 2014

@soontobeshrader - that's amazing about your weight-loss, congrats! What plan are you following?

@graceanne927 - that's really cool! Did you go over to see any of the taping? I was working in downtown Raleigh while they were filming Ironman 2, but I never saw anything except cordoned off areas and loads of people blocking my view! They film a lot of stuff down in Wilmington too (about 2 hours from me). My DH and I are total geeks too (love comic book stuff), so I forgot to mention the Big Bang Theory too.

I highly recommend Game of Thrones, it's our favorite show (when we actually have HBO turned on). If you have not read the books, remember this is an HBO show, so some of the scenes are quite graphic (some really not necessary), but the story/acting is good enough to just roll your eyes and get through those scenes!

meredithcarole · June 2014

@aswedishbee‌ I generally say #1 (I had a mmc in March). Some would argue that point so I guess the right answer is whatever is right for you

1. Meredith from FL 2. TTC #1, take 2 for 1 month. 3. We are not doing anything special currently. 4. I am in the 2WW (CD21). No symptoms. I won't test this month unless AF is late as I don't think we have a great shot this month. 5. I feel relaxed about this cycle. It was my first month off the bench and I didn't want to dive right into being "serious" QOTW: 19 Kids and Counting (I find it fascinating that they are all so well behaved), The Little Couple and Once Upon A Time.

KirstenAlecia · June 2014

Kirsten from CA

I don't count!

NPNT trying to let it happen if its meant to be……rt now Im trying to lose weight.

CD18

Feeling oblivious as always….

QOTW: Well we don't have cable, so what little TV we watch is on Netflix. Right now its Game of Thrones we have all the DVD sets and a thumb drive from our friend. I haven't been able to watch the last couple weeks though cause my DD in home…..not appropriate for her eyes…..even if she is 17 years old.

BeckyP005 · June 2014

@tlc35‌ I am so sorry. {{HUGS}} Fx for you @Lesliem0901‌!! No symptoms is not a bad thing. Good luck to all of you in the 2ww.
@soontobeshrader‌ how awesome!! I am so excited for you

kelley72 · June 2014

graceanne927- thanks for the good luck, tested negative this mornin... now just waiting for af and moving on to next cycle.. I'm going to get a new bbt as I think the battery on mine is fried and a new battery isn't any less than an entire new thermometer! Best wishes for your +++

mommyre · June 2014

1. Marie NC.

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? Just started TTC#2 in early May. #1 for DH and I together- we each have one from previous marriages.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Just charting/ temping currently. Since we just started doc wants us to try for a little while before treatments.

4. Where are you in your cycle? Waiting to O CD 5

5. How do you feel about this cycle? I am hopeful about this cycle, but so early in the cycle who isn't?

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?
Probably General Hospital. I know it's junk TV, but I love it. I have watched it my whole life.

mindaa · June 2014

1. mindaa, Phoenix

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?

TTC #1 for 2.5 years

3. What are you doing this cycle?

Just charting/temping/OPK. DH is traveling a lot this summer so we'll pretty much be taking a break for a bit.

4. Where are you in your cycle? 2WW

5. How do you feel about this cycle? Not optimistic since DH was out of town at O time, so all I have to hope for is a miracle cycle.

Probably going to be the same for the next two months as well... "sigh".

QOTW: What is your guilty pleasure TV show?
The Bachelorette and Wife Swap

efhoping2010 · June 2014

efhoping 2010 from midwest

Update: Will either have IVF ODWU at CCRM in July or IVF pretesting at Clinic 1 in July. I told DH we are taking a road trip to one of the two clinics in July so we are doing something to move forward. Any thoughts on which I should pick, aside from the money since clearly Clinic 1 is much much less $$$$. With Clinic 1 it would be fresh IVF and a 3dt. With CCRM is would be IVF and then CCS testing and later FET.

Feeling nervous about making the right choice.

QOTW: DH and I have been going for watching funny since life is not so funny and have been watching The Soup, and I Wanna Marry Harry, which was just canceled, but was quite funny.

BeckyP005 · June 2014

@mindaa‌ how have you been? I haven't seen you on much. @IFinTN‌ hope your not in too much pain. Doesn't sound like fun. @efhoping2010‌ good luck in your decision. Don't know about other clinics but when I lurked some have said the ODWU was worth it. Other than that I'm no help. I'm sure if you post this on a separate post you will get some feedback.

Awwww... Becky, it made me feel good that you recognized me. I'm good, just been busy at work the last couple months and started a part-time job as an adjunct instructor. So, not a lot of time to hang out online but I like being busy, ie. distracted
