Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point to Lost and Found is to level the support playing field. When LFCA works correctly, the newest blogger with the smallest readership can receive the same level of support as the oldest blogger with the largest readership. Anyone can submit news to LFCA by clicking here.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

- Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day: Please vote for this one from Bloorb. Not only does she create the best titles around, but she writes the emails we all wish we had the guts to write sometimes. One of the greatest straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back emails ever. How do you vote? Simply by clicking on the link above and then clicking on the post's title. Why the Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day? Click on that link in the header navigation bar above for the story. And send me stuff!
- 101 people already on the The Creme de la Creme List. Are you?
- I posted the book's cover and website.
- Triplet Family in Need: this is a local story of a family some of the DC bloggers know, but they are an IF family in need. Please read the story at Chez Perky and help if you can.
- Important Story to Read: Jaymee sent me the website of a friend who had something very scary happen to her daughter. If you have a small child, please read this. We are sitting down the twins and having a talk this afternoon about putting things in their mouth as well as getting rid of music cards to be on the safe side. Please read it and pass along the information to others who have small children (or, damn, I could imagine idiotic middle schoolers swallowing a battery not knowing what it does inside the body).
- Giveaway: Alyson is having a give away. Check out her blog for a chance to win a cupcake holder.
- Question: My Many Blessings writes, "I need help with results of a PAP that just came back...but, the PAP was normal. It was something ELSE that came up with it."
- Project That We Must, Must, Must Do and I Must, Must, Must Write With All the Information: So, I messed up this one yesterday. To view the address click on the link at the bottom of the post. The key is "gingerbreadboy." This is what I said yesterday: "This is pretty much the most fun I've seen in a bit and I'm going postcard hunting this afternoon. Fractured Rainbows has this Gingerbread Boy project and she has invited everyone to send in a postcard that her class will read telling the story of the Gingerbread Boy's travels around the world. Seriously, you must read the post and then get creative. I am so excited about this. This is even better than the traveling Garden Gnome." I sent my card out this morning--the Gingerbread Boy was at the White House helping W pack up.
- New IComLeavWe list opened for December (with a caveat about participating over Christmas). Come join along and increase your comments.
- Bridges continues to post daily. And it continues to be an amazing resource for insight into a multitude of worlds. And I'm not just saying that because I work on it.
- 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!

- MrsJoyner writes: "Good grief...We could really use prayers and good thoughts..My husband, Big E, is taking the police exam today, and as I went outside to go to work I realized that his car was broken into sometime last night. They stole a lot of stuff, including Christmas presents and our GPS, and now his state of mind is completely shattered. We are still waiting on the police and the window people to come fix this. He is still going to take the test, but he's just a mess (obviously) any thoughts or prayers would be great." Please go over and cheer him on.
