Amy I am so sorry. thinking of you also....

Ladies, can I complain for a sec? I have a friend who called and asked me to send her a copy of my handicap park card. She does not have a problem other than lazy and was using one from an elderly person, but the person passed. Now she wants mine. The problem is that she knows I am an atty now and can't/won't do illegal things. Even if I did not think it was wrong, if caught I would be brought up to the commission and sanctioned. She has taken the bar exam & is waiting on her results, yet she asks this!!! I don't know what to do or think b/c yesterday we were talking and she asked me if I would be an egg donor for her. I said yes b/c me and her sister look a lot alike and it would not be too out of sorts. I agreed after my pregnancy ends (of course). Now this. I don't know how to tell her to stop asking for things she knows I can't do or won't do w/o making her feel bad. I don't know if I should care if she feels bad? Help??????

Amy-I am so sorry...

Tam-this is a non-issue. The answer is absolutely NO. This is your lively hood you are talking about losing. Tell her to grow up and get over it. I really hate it when people abuse handicapped parking. My mom has a handicap tag (due to her back) and I always drop her off and refuse to use it. If she complains, she can walk from the spot 2 over from the handicap (which she can fine) with me.

Patricia-I had a Red Velvet and it was fantastic!!!

Jen- Yum!

Tami- Argh! I know wht you mean. My mother had a handicap hangtag. When she died, my father kept the tag and still uses it today, four years after her death. There is nothing wrong with him except he is an a-hole. Oh, and he is a retired judge, you would think he would behave better.

Jen- Thanks for the photos. I am so glad you loved it!

Tami- I agree with the girls. NFW... my cousin tops it with this one. They actually had the city paint the curb in front of her house blue with the handicapped sign. Her MIL died like 10 years ago when they did this and they park there still. Her neighbors must think they are so tacky. Not worth it!

Sarah- Nice ink!

Barbara- Did you have an ultrasound today? I checked the other thread and couldn't find you...

Take care!

Hi girls and guys

I just watched The Secret, it is a great movie! I am going to try and change my thinking pattern to how this movie guides you to do it, it basically says that the energy you put into the universe affects teh laws of attraction, so if you put neg. thoughts and feelings out there you will attract neg. things and if you put post. things you will attract positive things.

I keep trying to think of myself as already pregnant, but that is hard to do because i know that i am not! But they say if u think u are then it helps your body. Does anyone have any experience with this? Only 12 more days til my FET...i am very excited!

Amy- I am soo sorry, i hope that your dr. will come up with some great news for you at your next appt.

Barbara- Did u have an u/s?

Cupcake- wow that is awesome that you go and try diffrent cupcakes from all over. I bet the baby likes it

Sara- Cool tattoo!!! but ouch!!!!

Jen- How are you feeling lately? did u go to the DNC at all? I didnt...that is way too many people for me! Besides i am republican.

Hi and prayers to and for the rest of the bunch!!!!
