@sugahcookie01 -- You are going to get 9 MILLION "pick me, pick me!" pm's. lol

I'm sad I missed rasin's PM the other day... I was mobile and TBH - no one ever PMs me so I maybe check it weekly. lol

lizjennings81 · October 2014

With you, @PikoPiko. And with you, @sugahcookie01. I'd add my LB and one other person I've shared info with. I'd like to meet others and then add. But the group as a whole, even if it's just an FB group? Not yet.

I feel like I missed out on the optimal Labor Buddy window. Anyone want to adopt a nerdy gamer expecting her first child and due at the beginning of the month?

PikoPiko · October 2014

You girls are braver than me for sure. I'd only consider adding someone after I open a AE FB account. I live a pretty low key life and keep a lot of things private even on my fb. I'm in tech, folks here are savvy and can dig up stuff if I'm not careful.

I see your point. Even the most private of lives leave some traces behind. It's incredibly easy to find a lot of information on the smallest of leads.

Ugh there is some major pain Olympics on J15. I was feeling really bad for the OP until she started comparing to other people's concerns. Now I'm all riled up and pissy. I hate everyone today.

scahlin · October 2014

DH must have taken some pain meds because some of his ideas today are awesome. He thinks our newborn needs a 12 gauge shotgun in honor of her birth.
Also the nursery discussion mentioned light switchs, making me realize the light switch is right by our crib. His solution loosen some wires to shock her. She will learn real quick not to do that.

Too sad for words right now. Flutterfly posted an update.

Same here, I feel like I lost a family member even though I don't even know them. I can't even begin to imagine how she must feel if a random internet stranger is this heartbroken.

Shit shit motherfucking fuck.

I am scared to look too. Damnit.

kismetjess · October 2014

Flutterfly's post breaks my heart too. I wish there was something, anything...we could do.

foxslaw · October 2014

Futterfly nooo

Irishcurls · October 2014

Oh my God I just can't....I read her update. I feel like such an asshole being this upset, since we don't "know" her but fucking fuck that is just horribly unfair.

Have any of you ever ordered eye glasses from the internet? I'd like(not need) a new pair but don't want to spend a fortune.

I only order my glasses online. Its so much cheaper. I buy mine and DH's off of zennioptical.com
I haven't had any issues with them and I also order prescription sunglasses from them.

OH thank you for posting this! I had someone tell me about this website and I totally forgot the name of it. It was a customer at my job and I loved her glasses. I'm about to order like 3 pairs of $12.95 glasses! They even have prescription sunglasses...I think I'm in love.

Yeah I've ordered probably 6 pairs from there just for myself. Never had an issue. I'm naturally prone to breaking my glasses so the price tag those come with is awesome. I will add the times I have broken my glasses is purely my own clumsy fault and has nothing to do with the quality the zenni glasses are.

But yeah they are awesome and shipping is always the same price no matter how many pairs you buy!

I know what you mean. I tear up everytime I hear about a loss. It's probably because of my own fear. V day can't come soon enough.

Days like today make me want to punch every BC troll (and any other troll) in the damn face. You want to come over here and start stupid shit for stupid reasons...and we have ladies actually dealing with major shit. It makes me sick, and incredibly angry.

It's really dumb & immature. We just have to close ranks & not acknowledge them. Come together as a community for our girls who need us.

I'd buy frames from these sites but not the lens. A good optician would have to measure the distance between your pupils to make the lens, as each lens would need an optical centre. I read a long time ago that virtually every brand of frames you can name came from the same company, they just put different logos on. Frames have insane markups.

Just want to clarify that on the zenni site specifically once you enter your prescription along with your PD they will only show you frames that your PD will allow you to wear along with what type of glasses you need. I've bought numerous pairs and I have for my husband as well and each pair has been perfect everytime.

chickyclg · October 2014

Poor flutter, I am crying for her and Parker right now.

Izzy0927 · October 2014

Our girls are having a tough day. I wish we could just huddle together and not let bad things get to our people. I know I sound like a child saying that, but it's hard and scary and my emotions can't handle eloquence right now. I love you all. That's all I can say.

Awful stuff like this really puts things into perspective. I wish no one ever had to go through what flutter is going through right now. So unfair.

crystalw88 · October 2014

*****woe is me vent*****

So I have to throw this out here quickly before I leave work and I have to say I'm super disappointed although I was sure this is what was going to happen. Regarding maternity leave: my boss is allowing me to use a week's vacation and two sick days provided I don't use them up by the end of the year. Then he's willing to advance a week's vacation and two more sick days (which I'll earn from Jan 1st - June 30th, 2015.) This would total 3 weeks of "paid" leave. The rest of the time off will be unpaid. In my eyes, this isn't "paid" leave at all. How is giving up my vacation and sick days "paid" leave? This was going to be my plan from the start to accommodate a reduce in income. I'm super disappointed and don't know that I'll take more than 4 weeks off. Sorry to trouble you all with my "woe is me" but I just needed to release my disappointment on the keyboard. :-<

ETA: this is also my first "big girl" job and maybe I'm just unaware of how the real world works :-/

Fuck life is fucking unfair. Poor flutter and sweet Parker. I just am so fucking ANGRY that things like this happen

I'm angry too. All these people who drink/do drugs or neglect and abuse their kids and have healthy full term babies and then there is flutter fly who is a good person with amazing faith and she has to go through this. So unfair.

DronkeyGal · October 2014

@sugahcookie01‌ and/or @Alygohome‌ is there something we can do for flutterfly? Send her flowers from the board? I haven't been a member of a community like this before so I don't know how organizing something (safely) like this would work, but just seems like the least we could do.

I have her ph# and Facebook and I know what hospital she is in so I can def send flowers there

crystalw88 · October 2014

Ok I missed the update on flutterfly and sweet baby Parker so I'll check when I get home....disregard my woe is me...I feel like a cunt bucket

DronkeyGal · October 2014

I'm down @sugahcookie01‌ and would be willing to risk the money as well.

HerHighness · October 2014

I havent read the update and im crying at the title. I feel so horrible for her and sweet baby Parker.

I don't know how long she'll be AT the hospital, though? I was thinking something like this, maybe...

That's only $20. I'd be happy to pay the whole damned thing, though I'm sure others MIGHT be interested in contributing.

Heck, a few of us could chip in a dollar and cover it.

Maybe we could paypal Aly a dollar or two? Paypal is pretty secure and then only she could contact flutter to ship it? I think it would keep most anonymity. I'd be willing to be scammed two bucks, to be honest. I believe flutter is real, and something like this could be healing.

l I'll pay for it, I don't have PayPal but if anyone wants to send cards or anything like that I have a po box (so you stalkers can't find me) and I can send everything? I can get her address and mail everything

Alygohome · October 2014

It won't ship to canada boo

cups4 · October 2014

I will do anything to help. The necklace is beautiful @sugahcookie01 and I would like to chip in and send to your po box @Alygohome‌.

HerHighness · October 2014

If like to send a card.

Alygohome · October 2014

https://www.metalstampedmemories.com/memories-in-aluminum/memory-necklaces-2. What do we think of the angel one? It ships to canada

crabigator · October 2014

I had a bunch of spam, but it all seems kinda meaningless now.

Not that it'll be any more meaningful tomorrow, but I think I'm going to take myself offline for the day instead and try to sort through my emotions.

I hope everyone has a lovely, if somewhat sobered, evening.

toadandbug12 · October 2014

I just put an entire can of chickpeas in my soup and ate the whole thing!

:-O

Also, at the mall over the weekend, my FI and I (well I led, he followed) went into a new cupcake shop. They had CANNOLI FILLED PUMPKIN CUPCAKES. With a little mini chocolate cannoli on top. My two favorite things! (Besides chocolate/peanut butter combos). So we got one for me, and one for his sisters and mom, because we thought we would be seeing them later. We ended up not, and now I have 4 of those cupcakes sitting in my fridge eyeing me up! I must stay strong.

Alygohome · October 2014

Pm you ladies who tagged me. I have given @sugahcookie01‌ a way to verify my identity and I have gotten flutters parents mailing so I can send the cards/gift.

foxslaw · October 2014

I'd like to contribute too, @Alygohome‌

crystalw88 · October 2014

@Alygohome‌ - I'd like to be included as well.

Alygohome · October 2014

Ok guys I ordered the angle one with the footprints and had it personalized. It takes about three weeks. I have sent my mailing address to everyone who asked. I can't figure out how to post picture from mobile in messages to show the receipt and I don't want my address in this thread so if you want a picture of the receipt from online msg me your email address and I'll send it right away

Want a personalized experience?
