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.

- Forums: If you are not a member of the forums, you will not have access to the LFCA on days when we are utilizing an open thread in the forums instead of posting on this site. Any blog reader or writer can become a member of the forums by clicking here and registering. On days when we don't have the LFCA, it also follows that I'll be slow on approving new members (that whole lack of Internet access thing) so please be patient.

- Thank you for helping with MLO's virtual mix tape yesterday. Her fever broke, but she is still in the hospital with severe pain. This is the new distraction for the day: leave the juiciest fake gossip in the world on her current post. We're going to create the absolute worst version of the National Enquirer, complete with gossip that is unfounded and utterly false, but absolutely delicious. All you have to leave is the headline, but extra points if you can recreate a fake paragraph from the fake article.
For instance: MEL GIBSON SMITTEN WITH BLOGGER AFTER FINDING HIMSELF MENTIONED ON HER SITE: Mel Gibson released a statement yesterday explaining that it was a massive turn on to be called a "douchy leper" by DD several months back. He has since left his pregnant girlfriend who earned him the moniker and is seeking out prairie sex with the blogger.

- Moky has had her surgery to remove her tubes and is officially in her clinics IVF program. Please give her some love as she recovers from this surgery, physically and emotionally.
