Another single woman in her 30's bemoaning her fate of childlessness, and struggling with infertility.
Yes, I would like some cheese to go with my whine!

OMG! The 'Addams Family' Turkey Day show. And those young faces who went on to other shows. Thank you, Kim. :-)
What is REALLY funny is that although I neglected to read the opening credit, as soon as the film rolled I knew exactly what it was. I know this is *slightly* different but here is the 2007 version of my father's annual Columbus Day email:
"Dear Family and Friends,
Once again it is Columbus Day – the day we set aside to thank a man who exemplifies the most important of all US holidays - the celebration of mass murders and attempted genocide.
Consider signing the online petition: "Change Columbus Day to Native American Day" at:
Some cities, including Berkeley, California, have already changed the name of this holiday to Indigenous People's Day.
Columbus was the first trans-Atlantic slave trader after landing in the Americas, starting centuries of oppression of native peoples. In his own writings, Columbus admits he was a slave trader, of people from other cultures as well as of Native Americans. So, please join me in paying tribute to a man who was personally responsible for the death of as many people as Hitler, and whose work of genocide far out lived him and rose to a level that ultimately was perhaps 20 times that.
Lets also to see if we can get our congress-persons to set aside national holidays for other iconic murderers as well. Forget Bundy – small potatoes – he killed way too few people. We want murderers of a few million people – and generally of a single race so that an attempt at genocide can at least be claimed. We might have “Hitler Day” but about 10% of the people he killed were those damn faggots, so he was not nearly as focused on the Jews as we give him credit for being. Maybe we could have “Sadam Day”, but he probably did not kill nearly as many people as Columbus, and George Bush has probably killed more Iraqis that Sadam. We will have to forgo Ben Laden Day as he has only killed a few thousand people, nowhere near the number killed by Columbus, Hitler, George Bush, or Sadam.
And of course if we want to admit only Americans, along with Columbus and George Bush we can have George Washington, W.H. Harrison, and Andrew Jackson days, because they all killed more Americans than Ben Laden.
After 10 years of not preventing pregnancy and yet still no baby, I went the route of fancy doctors, drugs, and procedures. 3.5 years later, at Thanksgiving 2007, I discovered I was pregnant for the first time. At 11w3d, I miscarried. I have been in limbo for a couple of years now, and am just starting to figure out how a childless life will be.
