Yeah, I like Jessica too and Lafayette has been my fave since I started watching, so I like that they switch it up a bit. I actually didn't think that Franklin was a good fit. I'll have to see how I feel when I get to him in my second reading of the books (I'm stuck cuz I'm missing book 2!). Maybe I'll think he's a better fit once I read it again. But I pictured someone else. I don't know his name, but maybe I can find a picture of him... He was on Damages and that's who I pictured for Franklin. Unless I'm getting him confused with who I pictured for the King. I really need to reread so I can get my characters straight. Here's a pic, Zeljko Ivanek

I did and I didn't love it. It was good, but something was off. I tested it out with a few different things (club soda, selzter, none, etc) and I just couldn't get it right. It's not that it was BAD, something was just missing.

Damn, I didn't notice that about the skipped week. I'm watching the episode now and I kinda wish I could save them, b/c I like watching shows like this in lumps, but I can't make myself wait!

I saw this posted on another forum and thought it might help out here for all the TTC girls, already pregnant or soon to be TTC ladies... ******************************************************** Trying to conceive acronyms: 2WW - two week waiting period (time between ovulation & af/or a bfp) AF - Aunt Flo (your period) AI - Artificial Insemination APA - Antiphospholipid Antibody syndrome ART - Assisted Reproductive Technology BBT - Basal Body Temperature (taken first thing in the morning) BC - Birth Control BCP - Birth Control Pills BD - Baby Dance (intercourse) BFN - Big Fat Negative BFP - Big Fat Positive BMS - Baby-making Sex BUMP - this is just a way to move a thread to the top of the board so more people can see it CD - Cycle Day CM - Cervical Mucus CP - Cervical Position D&C - Dilation & Curettage DD - darling daughter DS - darling son DH - Darling or Dear Husband (or damned husband, at times!)

Yeah, those abbreviations can be tricky if you don't know what they mean! I remember being SO lost when I joined the forum with all the wedding abb. then there's a whole other batch of TTC ones! See below for what they mean... Oh and FX you aren't disappointed this month either! I think I had a bunch of abbreviations, so I'll get them and post a new thread... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...0/#post1341096 Quote: Originally Posted by Ayita FX - fingers crossed RE - reproductive endocrinologist (sp?)

Sorry... and by the way what are soft cups ? http://www.softcup.com/ Basically, it's for when you have your period, but thoughts are that it helps the sperm stay inside you and go where they need to go. Thanks !

Ok, I agree with all of this!! I think Vin makes a perfect one, I hadn't thought of him, but once it was mentioned, he is perfect. However, Jason S would be pretty good too. Yummy to them both. Quin is bald in the books (right??), but I think his sister is light haired (maybe strawberry)? But for some reason, when reading it, I was picturing someone darker and then when I read about either his mom or sis, I was surprised by their lightness. But I'm right with you. I read all 9 books in < 2 weeks last year, so I just started rereading book 1 yesterday. It's funny how now that I've seen the show, I can read the words and totally picture the characters saying them. I think the casting is just about perfect so far as I go back and read. Especially for Bill, who I wasn't the biggest fan of in the series. I just think he's pretty gross and he's not really written up that way in the books, but he really has the character down pat. Oh and I think we talked about this before, b/c I 100% agree that Christine Ricci was who I pictured for Debbie Pelt. Quote: Originally Posted by ErinB Does anyone else count down their weeks by how close the next TB episode is? I need more excitement in my life! LOL I'm late to the party, but I've always pictured Vin Diesel or Jason Statham (from the Transporter movies) as Quinn. LLCJ would have been a super sexy Quinn! Carly - you know my love for that man! There is something about the Rock that doesn't sit well, like he's too ethnic or something. He would be a great panther or wolf. For some reason I want to say that he was strawberry blonde in the books? Maybe I made that up? I don't think he showed up until book 7 or 8, so I'd be surprised to see him this season. While reading I pictured Christina Ricci as Debbie - little and dark. I was so into the books I read them one after the other and they all sort of meshed together. I have to go back and re-read before each season. I'm going to have to do the same thing with Eclispe before I go see it

Yeah, I think it should've been Billy Bell in the bottom 3, for sure. He's on my nerves and needs to leave. I actually like Melinda, she'd not my fave, but she doesn't piss me off. However, those red pants might have been the biggest no-no I've seen on that show. Omg, they were horrible and even made her look big when she's clearly not a fat girl! I felt bad for Jose b/c he kinda lost the Bollywood in the middle, but I thought he recovered it nicely and ended up doing a pretty good job. And seriously, how can you not love his smile! He makes me happy, it's like they said, he really is a light. And Kent. Oh Kent. He's so naive and adorable, he's another light on the show. And sadly, I think my favorite girl is Anya or Courtney! HA! The all stars. None of the girls are standing out to me now. Ashley is growing on me, but I like her, Melinda and Lauren just about the same so far. Robert is the only big strong male dancer, which I think makes him my favorite, but I also love Jose and Kent. I'm not a fan of Alex for some reason and Adechike is good, but not standing out above Robert to me yet. Oh and you all know how I feel about Billy Bell. He needs to beat it.

Stacey, I'm not really sure how to find people/threads over there either, but here is the one with a few of us in it - http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Circl...49657#26649657

Hey Stacey, FX this is your month! I am ending my 9th month TTC and most likely moving onto my 10th. I've been with an RE for about 5-6 months now and we did 3 months of Clomid then moved onto a month of daily shots and still nothing. Every month that I was monitored at the doctors office, I O'd on the wrong side. (I had an ectopic pregnancy removed last June and lost my left fallopian tube, so now I can only get prego if I O on my right side) And for the 6 months I was monitored, it was my L side that produced the viable follicle. We decided to take this past month off from the doctors and step away from temping and all that b/c it was causing too much stress. I was really hoping that would mean we would get prego since there was less stress, but I tested this morning (tomorrow is my official FF test day) and BFN. So I'm expecting AF to arrive today. The only good news I can bring from all that is that I scheduled LASIK for July 13th and as long as I'm not prego, I'm going to have perfect vision! If I did end up prego this month, we were going to take the $$$ loss on the deposit. Katrina - YAY for officially TTC next cycle!!!!

I would just call your insurance company (homeowners or rental) and they'll add it to that policy. You will need an appraisal from a jeweler though. It was super easy to add to our policy and THANK GOD we did!!! Quote: Originally Posted by susanna.hanson Does anyone have any recommendations for wedding ring insurance? Omg, we checked every day for like 3 weeks, NADA. After about 3 days, they told us to stop calling and that they would call us if it turned up. I said EFF that, I'll call as many times as I want when I lose a $$$$$ ring!! Quote: Originally Posted by *Meagan* Ooo man what a story! That is terrible! But glad you got a new ring!! Did you ever check lost and found in disney??

Yes, it's in the same place wher eyou saw the other things you mentioned, called "change username" or something similar.

Awww, that's very sweet of him to say and super levelheaded. Sounds like he didn't expect much different from his family. I'm glad that he (you too) is at peace with it!

That was fast! I'm glad everything worked out, but I'm with the other girls, need pics!

Hmmm, he'd be ok (Timothy Olyphant) Here's some google images - timothy olyphant - Google Search

Hmmm, I'm actually feeling Vin Diesel for Quinn. I didn't think they'd find someone ot my liking, but that pic of him is H-O-T.

I agree with the other girls, this needs to come from your FI and not you. I know it's hard to bite your tongue, but you def should in this instance.

Yeah, I was totally crushing on Quinn in the books. I was trying to think of who could play him this morning and I was having truoble. LL Cool J would've been good for that role a few years ago!

Plus you get all of Sookie's boyfriends in the book (which you may or may not in the series) and damn if she doesn't get around with some hotties!

I think this is regional. For instance, where I live and the surrounding areas, we mostly use the registry only for a bridal shower and the wedding gift is always a check. I've never given a gift at a wedding and received probably less then 20 at our 310+ guest wedding. However, if I remember correctly, friends from Cali on the forum don't get cash gifts at weddings. So I would work with whatever is normal in your area and create a minimal registry. Plus if you register at Bed Bath and Beyond, you can get cash back for any gift bought from your registry.

Yeah, Kent is really adorable. He's so sweet, innocent and naive. I'm totally drawing a blank on the routines though! Oh and I am not a Billy Bell fan. I don't know if it's all b/c they made an exception for him and made it a top 11, which I 100% do NOT agree with, or if I really don't like him. either way, I hope he doesn't win.

Ok, I recreated something like it in word, hope it helps! The top and bottom thirds of the page got folded underneath/to the back and were doublesided taped shut. The middle third had a slice cut out so you could see the boarding passes. I haven't tested this template or antyhing, but just wanted to give the jist of what it looked like. envelope template.doc

I didn't really have a template, I just made one myself from cardboard! I'll see if I can kinda mimic one in word sometime today and I'll post here.

Well look at it this way, most people don't get a chance to do a re-do on their ering. So make the changes that you want!! My ring is exactly the same in description, but with slight differences (better stone, better yellow color, slightly thinner setting) I just made some tweaks to make it even MORE perfect. So if you're ring doesn't turn up, def take advantage of your 2nd chance!

Well it's a long story so to give the quick and dirty details, I had taken it off b/c my fingers were swelling from the heat and then a bunch of random things happened (lost other bag, husband got mad, ring zipped inside the cooler, then husband took sandwich out of cooler w/o paying attention and ring was gone). It was a comedy of errors that day and I almost feel like it was meant to be lost or something b/c so many bad things happened. I miss my old ring, but my new ring is better quality, bigger carat, better color, etc. So at least I got an upgrade out of the deal. I've been staring at my ring like a newly engaged person again.

That totally sucks and I know exactly how you feel since we lost my ering in Disney in April. I was super upset, obviously, but lucky for us we had it insured. The thing I was concerned about was the sentimental meaning behind it as well, but my husband surprised me a few weeks ago and picked up the replacement ring early and asked me to marry him all over again! So it's officially my engagement ring as well. I only tell that story so you can see that you can create new sentimental memories as well. I hope it turns up for you though!!
