A dubious honour

Most of you know me, and have seen me around for a long time. Most of you also know that I work really hard to stay positive, and give as much support as I can to those around me, regardless of how I may be feeling.

I don't know that this post serves a purpose, and I guess it falls under 'rant', but for the first time something that someone has said on OB has really, really upset me. As in, I read their post, and my blood went cold. You know that feeling when it's almost as though your blood drains to your feet and you get cold pricklies on the back of your neck? I'll also confess to picking up my diary, which was sitting by the computer, and throwing it at the wall.

Why? I have no idea. Perhaps it was because I've had a bad month, perhaps because I'm sure that, again, we've failed to conceive and I feel very beaten, perhaps I just need to go shopping

I spent yesterday thinking about whehter I should say something to this person, and mentally composed a number of different PMs saying 'this is how I felt about what you said, this is why', but it serves no purpose, so I thought I'd just do this post instead. It's all for me and about me, and upsets no one.

No harm, no foul.

I just got that exact same feeling when I read your post and thought "oh god I hope it wasn't me!". Hope you feel better after the rant and like Kazzle said, maybe PM the person if it might help further?

Hugs!

I have a feeling I know which post it might be? Regardless, for you hun.

That sucks Ginger.

I had the same thought - oh man I hope it wasn't me!

Although I'm a newbie, so what I say doesn't have much standing, I think it would help if you PMed the person - just to explain. I know if it was something I said, I'd want to know.. because it wouldn't have been intentional and I'd hate to think I hurt someone. I'd want a chance to apologise and explain what I actually meant.

Just my two cents.

Ginger I reckon maybe a PM to the person wouldnt do any harm. Sounds like we are all thinking hope it wasnt me cos i know if it was then I certainly didnt mean to cos i cant think of anything I might have said.

And sorry to hear your upset

Aw Ginger! We love ya!

It wasn't about the ladle was it?



Hope you managed to sort things out and you get back on your positive horse again! We are all crossing fingers and toes and everything for ya to hope that it works out for your little family one way or another

Ug busymum ...what an amazing thing for you to say! Thank you


Nikki - I think everyone knows better than to say anything dodgy about the ladle

Hugs Ginger! I'd be waaaaay too scared to offend you - you might hunt me down with that ladle!

Like Busymum said, we're all hanging out for the day when we can celebrate with you, and I really hope for you that its soon. I know the 12 months it took us to conceive seemed like the longest ever, and we already had one child, I can't even pretend to understand what a rollercoaster this journey is for you.

Hugs again, and hang in there, we all believe in you!

Man I am soooo curious! What thread is the ladle joke in?

I think the ladle thread would be in the OB archive dungeons by now LOL

And Paws - enjoy your can opener, they are SO worth it, but you already knew that *cough*tupperwareaddict*cough*
