Tuesday's Connections Abound

Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The Face-to-Face Lost and Found page is permanently located beneath this current post. Old Connections Abound can be accessed via the date or subject archives listed on the sidebar. Check the submissions page, FAQ, and ways to get involved for additional information. Email me at thetowncriers@gmail.com with any questions/concerns.

Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
  • Gonna repeat it again...Since LFCA may or may not get spotty (I have a feeling I'll keep posting it through BlogHer, though who knows what will happen since I heard I'm buying drinks and therefore may be stinkin' drunk), please send anything that you know will need to be posted between Thursday and Sunday to me by tomorrow morning. Not just Clickers; all of you guys too. I mean, anyone who has anything to post send it along. Perhaps I started drinking early. I'm still not being very coherent.

Hiya Lolli!

I had a new blogger visit my site, and I don't remember seeing her on Lost and Found. Her diagnosis is blocked tubes. http://franticfrazzledandcoveredincathair.blogspot.com/
I couldn't put her in my reader, something about no feed, not sure what that is all about.

Thanks for all you do!
