MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
- It's sort of an eerie ghost-town of a miscellaneous news section...um... How about I pose a question instead of reporting something. If you could have a new camera, cell phone, or blackberry--for free/with service--which would you chose and why? I'm the camera--I like to document things and remember things and I think that would be the most important electronic thing I could own. And you?
- Many new areas have been added to the Face-to-Face Lost and Found list below (just scroll down below this post). If there isn't one already meeting in your area, start your own. Or join along to an existing group by emailing the contact name on the list.
- A new feature is being added to the Lost and Found called "Meet the Clickers." Each week, I'll be featuring a Clicker so you can meet the people who are reading through your section of the blogroll. They will be answering a short list of questions and then posing a question back to you--the readers of L & F. Clickers, I'll contact you one-by-one to get your answers. Readers, stay tuned for the first installment...
- New Group Forming (Boston Area): Rachel is putting together a new face-to-face group for "Boston area IFers who are not pregnant or parenting that have had multiple miscarriages, multiple IVF failures, and/or are trying or contemplating donor gametes and/or adoption." Contact her through her blog: Henry Street. Please forward this info to IFers you know in the Boston area.
- Send her to BlogHer: it's BlogHer or Bust for Dramalish. She has a button on her site (check the left sidebar) to help her get to California this summer for BlogHer. Help her out.
- Team On the Road continues to truck along. There are now three teams walking in honour of Lennox and Zoe: Stirrup Queens, My Perky Ovaries, and In Search of Biscuit 2.0. I cannot thank enough those who have donated or posted the code for Team On the Road. We've currently raised $3398! If you would like to help with our March of Dimes fundraising, read this post and join along. There are at least five things you could do!
- If you notice another loading slow down or receive error messages for Stirrup Queens or Lost and Found, please let me know. Now I'm nervous every time I add anything to the side bar!

- The Happy Hours will be having surgery in May: "laparoscopy with chromotubation-which from what little I have found on Dr. Google, is like an HSG only they are looking at the dye from the inside instead of just on the ultrasound." Go over and give her good thoughts.

A new blackberry! I need one (badly) and I am just waiting for the move to find out if my current service gets reception in the new house. Otherwise I have to change services. Hmm...what will I do with my old blackberry? :)
(Plus, to be fair, I just got a new camera, so I don't need one of them. And the blackberry works as a cell phone, so I wouldn't need that either. But if I didn't have the new camera, I probably would have gone with that.)
I'd pick a blackberry too. Right now I have a Palm Pilot and a cell phone, neither of which has too many features but is just what I need. But I wish they were merged into one unit. I don't want to pay for a blackberry b/c I don't need the internet or email on there. But if it were free..... I already have a nice digital camera that I love. I think cell phone cameras are dumb (too small, bad quality, I just don't understand them).
