TRUST SQUIRRLY. That really is the best wine of all time. Followed by the Lambrusco she introduced me to.
And please to get getting that video!

I had D.S.B. on the list of stuff I wanted played, but I think we missed it. I know the guy who played acoustic outside for the people who wanted to hang out out there played it though. Does that count? I hope it does.

I like to think I split my time equally between the two boards....then, I have my own board that I mod. And, it gets to be a bit of a clusterfuck. But mainly, I miss having the time to post on the boards at my own leisure----having a fucking job with blocked internet sucks.

We missed "I'm on a boat" and I was super sad about it. We were giving a interview with the videographer. Yeah, after seeing that, I realized just how much H and I drank that night...
Yeah, you're never here anymore. I thought you had really left us

Yup, Rosa Regale. Kappy's has it for about $18/bottle. Best deal around here is the NH state liquor store at the line. LVB should be able to get it for around $16 as long as it's not Valentine's Day.
It comes in splits too, for around $7 or so, I think, if you want to test it out first. OR. You could join me in late May for one of the 5 or 6 bottles we have stockpiled.

I see you're still here squirrly so I can address this. I went back and read the first few posts and I really don't see a difference in what other people said. These are the first few responses (all on the same page) of what people said.
<em>It's okay Matilda...I've already said that to people on here in the past (jessjo) who had a ticker up at 4 weeks. Totally agree with you.
Ditto this flame.
I personally would be nervous about posting a ticker before at least two, just because of the risk of miscarriage. I wouldn't want to have to answer a lot of questions if I had to take the ticker down.
I agree just because so many things can go wrong in those first three months. I thought it was pretty standard to not even talk about it with other people until at least 12 weeks. I get family and such at 6 or 8 weeks, but the whole interwebs at 3 1/3 weeks. Strange to me.
</em>I already admitted that I that I used the irrational it makes other people upset in the wrong way and didn't fully explain myself, but once I clarified, I pretty much reiterated what all these other people have said, maybe I just didn't say it in the right way. I'm nervous for those people who put them up so early, because like I said, I've personally known many women who have experienced with m/c. I would hate to see someone have to deal with that so publicly, because I couldn't imagine going through it myself in such a way. I fell back on the word superstitious to describe how people don't really talk about a pregnancy so early on.
At this point I really feel like you are just seeing what you want to see and that's fine. I don't need validation from you and we don't need to hug this out in the end, I just wanted to point out that I think you are over-judging me and letting other people slide for whatever reason. That's unfair to me and as a mod I would think you would be a little more understanding. That's my two cents, for whatever it's worth.
1. We totally forgot to play our song at our wedding since we knew it couldn't be our first dance.
2. I know Part of Your World by heart.
3. I WISH we could have played I'm on a Boat without givng heart attacks.

I know LVB wants to move, but FI and I were just talking tonight about how awesome Louisville was in an entire region of blandness (with the exception of Lexington and surrounding area. We'd move to Lexington)
UGH. I'm trying to find my D1ck in a box picture from halloween and I think H deleted them

May 26. So far, he measures at the absolute top end of the scale, though, so I don't think a week early is out of the question by any means.
Personally, I just want to miss my OWN anniversary by at least a week.
Matilda, being a mod doesn't mean that I can't have opinions. It means making sure that posts follow the rules. There's no rule against you having an opinion on pregnancy tickers, so I don't really see how me being a mod has squat to do with this.
If you don't put names on the quotes, it doesn't help me much, btw. I *think* most folks who jumped in clarified a bit that their thougts were based around posting really, really early - before 5 weeks or so. Your posts were about much more than that. And, you're STILL saying that posting a ticker should be done thoughtfully because it might be hard for somebody else to see it. That I have a HUGE problem with. Grief over a m/c is very, very real. But limiting what somebody can celebrate because someone else somewhere else is grieving is ridiculous.
I don't see anybody else standing up with that opinion. At all. Just you. You've softened on your statements on that, but you haven't really backed away from it. And, you don't have to. But I don't have to back away from my opinion on it either - mod or not.

Is it bad that one of the reasons I married H is so it's okay that I'm computer illiterate? He's an IT guy...he puts hard drives into computers and fixes things before I even know what's wrong. He's handy =)
Like a boss is strange, but it's funny. I know the first time I saw it I said "WTF?" and kinda couldn't get over it. Then I watched it again and I realized the hilarity.
LDY, my IT guy complimented FI and me on being able to add a new video card and power supply to our new computer (all FI) but when it comes to software it's totally up to me. FI freezes up like a deer in headlights.
LVB, not yet. H thinks they're dumb and that I should just take them myself, but I'd prefer he do it so they're slightly less awful and awkward. I pretty much told him to suck it up and do it for me, and then I broke out AGAIN like a 13 year old. I do NOT have a pregnancy glow. At all. The "boys give beauty, girls take it away" wives tale? COMPLETE MYTH.
So, as soon as I don't need to put concealer on 80% of my face before foundation, I'll get one taken.
Yeah, I steer clear of all of it, Birdie lol. H prefers that I dont mess up his masterpieces of computers. We currently have 6 computers in our house. 3 are lap tops, the one I'm currently on is a desktop and this monitor is connected to two computers. We also have one that is connected to our TV. I'm so sick of computers lol.
aMrs...H uses tools when he has to, but I'd prefer to hire a pro lol - I dont trust him with too much "do it yourself" stuff...that could get scary! Must be nice!

you voiced your opinion, and people with differing opinions get to voice theirs..
or in simpler terms.. you flamed women who post tickers before 12 weeks, those same women (and others) flamed you for that opinion..
