Comentario

Once upon a time, back when I first started my blog, I kicked ass at leaving comments on other blogs and I would always reply to comments I would have on my site. After awhile I got what I like to call comment constipation. Yeah, ewwww. I know...I'm sorry.

I want to comment, I love to comment, but no matter how hard I try, nothing comes out.

Sidenote...I can’t believe I compared my inability to comment to constipation.

Anyway, I do read several blogs but then when I look at the comment section, I freeze up and think agggghhh, what the hey should I say without sounding so lame?

Sure, I say some of the dumbest crap-ola on my own blog but that’s different. There’s also a lot of times when everyone who’s commented on someone’s post has said pretty much everything that I was going to say. So, then I’m left with my 3 options; "LOL" or "Hahaha" or "So sorry, that sucks" or (((HUGS))

If there’s more that I feel I need to say in my comment, it’s like my brain liquifies and I just skip making a comment. But I’m getting better. I’m back to reading and discovering more blogs and pushing myself to comment no matter how lame I may sound.

    I know what you mean though sometimes. There are certain topics or posts where I overthink every possible response, worried I might offend or come across as too...something. In the end though, I just know how supported I feel with each comment I receive and try to return that, regardless of how dumb I sound. Your comments are always appreciated Janet, and never lame!

    I struggle with this also! I can't related to every topic that someone blogs about and therefore I don't know what to say.

    I find that most people have already said what I was going to say. So now I don't read what people have said anymore and just comment. Because I myself, sometimes need to hear the same thing over and over :)

    Kharini is speaking the truth!! I know that for me, if 14 people say the same thing...well, that means it's probably something I need to be thinking about/doing/whatever! So don't hesitate just because someone else already said it!!

    I sometimes worry that I am going to say something that upsets the blogger instead of making them feel better!!

    I would take your constipated comments any day :) I'm with everyone else. Sometimes all you can say is Congratulations, or I'm sorry and I'm thinking of you, or (((Hugs))). If 5, 10, or 100 people said the same thing, that's ok. It's better than silence :)

    Yes, yes, and yes. I completely agree. I always feel my comments are inadequate. So much so that sometimes I don't comment (now how ironic is that??).

    I feel the same way! Sometimes I seriously type out my comment first, then glance at a few of the other ones preceding it, and realize that I've said *verbatim* what's already been said. Ah well, I suppose saying something is better than nothing... For the record though, I like your comments!

Keeping Secrets

I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first

Dilemma

I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit

Start Spreading The News...

My trip to New York City was completely amazing but I'm not going to lie....the re-entry to life has been difficult this past two days. After 5 days away I thought I'd return refreshed and ready to jump back onto the work/life wagon...I was wrong. Is it Friday yet? The highlights of my trip were many. But first...I had a moment. When we made it to the hotel, the emotions that had been building the entire day and week came bursting out and I cried and cried. Oh, how I cried! Uncontrollable, sloppy, snotty bawling that pretty much claimed an entire box of tissues. You see, the morning that we left my period started...a full 5 days early. I was crushed. I was sure that this was THE cycle. My emotions got the better of me but I quickly re-grouped and a little voice chimed up saying, “Go splash water on your face and get out! Go and tackle your NYC bucket list head on” And tackle we did! In short, we took in two shows on Broadway, made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, saw the Statue of
