But you have raised yourself above the level of all these people despite what you are dealing with. So you win.

I'm not a Catholic, but I am like you in that I had to convert a timed intercourse cycle to IVF because my ovaries just make too many follies! I decided to go ahead with the conversion, but I just wanted you to know I know how difficult the decision is, regardless of which way you make it. I'll be interested to hear more of your thoughts as you wrestle with this thorny issue.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02799401502134619497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-46388052927299184392007-04-28T17:05:00.000-05:002007-04-28T17:05:00.000-05:00Oh please don't let me meet your mother in a dark ...Oh please don't let me meet your mother in a dark alley.

Then we'd both laugh.<BR/><BR/>Except your mom was serious, and that's not funny. So think it, and smirk. :)LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398924875071245573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-85321076927773092512007-04-27T23:02:00.000-05:002007-04-27T23:02:00.000-05:00Just because she said that, I wouldn't go!
