Holy shit, @majorwife. IF is a horrible fucking condition I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, and only those who have lived it truly know its pain, physical, emotional, and mental. I spent a long time on my therapist's couch trying to work out what I did to deserve it. it's not rational to those outside of IF, but many of us struggle with the "why me/us?"
I need you to know that your heartless comment stirs up those emotions in those of us who have experienced it. GTFO with half-assed non-apologies. You never throw a person's medical condition at them as an insult. Especially one with so many complex emotional issues like infertility.
So what are you apologizing for? Addressing her the way you did? Jesus. YOU ARE STILL NOT GETTING IT!
i am apologizing for saying something hateful to juliefe that hurt other women that do not deserve that kind of pain. it was a kneejerk reaction to a poster with a long historby. and i am sorry that other women were hurt by my statement
You dumb fuck.
Here's a story for you. I spent all night waking up with severe anxiety that we'll get terrible news at our ultrasound today. I woke up to the gut punch of your awful words, which literally took my breath away with their cruelty.
My brain knows that you are a simple, vile, little person, but if I hear awful news today, your words will be weighing on my heart.
That won't matter to you, but I thought you should know.

Good luck at your ultrasound today. Everything will be fine. I just wanted you to know that people are thinking kind thoughts for you today (and I'm sorry for all those who have been hurt or affected by this whole flaming pile of excrement.)

I initially liked your post as a way to say that I will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes to you today, but realized it was a strange post to "like." Instead I will say that I hope you have a great ultrasound today.

Thank you guys for the kind thoughts. TBH, I probably should have just backed out of this conversation with a fuck you hair flip instead of making this about me, but I appreciate the vibes!

FYI, the "post quick reply" button does not mean you need to suspend all thought before posting. Some of you bitches are taking that a little too literally (again, with the critical reading skills).
Maybe we should change it to, "Really, bitch?" and then require a second click, just as confirmation that you are indeed an asshole.

Good luck with your ultrasound. Wishing you well!!
Soooo I guess we have moved to the airing of grievances part of the year. The thing is you don't hide it in a post about salon experiences. I basically ignored it until I realized there is no way we can be at almost 200 posts about a salon. Festivus!

I was coming in to make an airing of the grievances crack! Lol. I'll grab the pole.
cherryvalance - good luck at your u/s today. I hope all goes well!

Well I have something to share about all of this. If we are speaking about the general behaviors on this board Julie was right on the money. The board is pretty intolerant and can be pretty damn bitchy when it comes to opposing opinions. Yall even went in on your fellow liberals when they supported Bernie! It has been said multiple times and the majority of vocal posters either let out large sighs, complain it has been said before, or put a wall up. This is all done without acknowledging the lack differing opinions and the absence of some pretty level headed conservative posters( plenty of who voted for Hillary). So while everyone is all mad about Julie rolling up in here take a good look around. If she was a liberal that behavior would mostly be allowed. In regards to Cheetolini there are different issues at play here. FIRST the democrats handed Hillary the nomination knowing she had all of this baggage. The result??? Piss poor voter turnout and an internet troll as President( had to steal that from Chapelle because he was on the money) He literally ran on a platform of bigotry and fear. His supporters need to acknowledge being A-OK with racism. Don't want to be called a racist? Don't openly support one, it's really that simple. He didn't even use coded language,he flat out said fucked up things! The ONLY WAY Trump supporters are going to change their minds is when it directly impacts their health care and/or pocketbooks. Based on what he says he wants to do they are going to find out sooner than later. Much like @kirkette 1234FIF! and others have said in the past, " We gon be alright". So all of you out there who knowingly choose to remain friends with supporters stop faking the funk and just say your friend(s) are racist.
Look I am barely even speaking to my own mother because I suspect despite me begging her to vote for literally anyone else and her residing in a bright red state (therefore her vote not mattering in the grand scheme of this shitshow we now call America) that she voted for Trump. And really at the end of the day her vote doesn't even matter to me at this point. It's her silence in the face of all of this. Her unwillingness to stand up and say this is wrong. Regardless of who people voted for that is my litmus test now. Voting is done. That decision and choice has been made and even if you voted against this clown, if you aren't saying he's fucking wrong and denouncing this shit than we don't have anything to say to each other anymore either. I don't have time for even the tiniest bit of approval for this shit. And make no mistake, silence is approval. Silence makes you complicit.
im not hiding. i had to do night-time routine stuff.
but i will take a knee.
i did not mean to hurt anyone and i do NOT think that of anyone other than juliefe. that is no lie
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
But no, really. even julief's fertility status is completely unrelated to her heinousness quotient, so you're a pretty stupid fuck for even believing that about her. And it pretty much counters the "I don't actually think that about any of you nice ladiez, only the heinous ones" you're spouting.
Also, LOL that laurenpetro 's salon, where there is at least one vocal Trump supporter, is a capital S Safe capital S Space in her town. What poc, lgbtq or any other vulnerable person would be made to feel safe there? "Oh, YOU can stay, I just mean I want to send back your neighbors!" Your salon is not a Safe Space.
I only saw this thread this morning. I figured it was a holiday tipping question so I didn't come in until I saw it was 8 pages!
ETA: And good luck today, cherryvalance . ETA2: Also, a question and comment for Dig Ophelia: do you have a DT photo in your sig? Because I installed that extension that replaces photos of him with kittens and I'm very much enjoying your sig pics this morning.
