I frequent a site called fertility friend – yes, yes I am a pathetic woman trying to get knocked up. But these women! I can’t stand them. All their “blinkies” and photos of their overweight kids and white trash husbands. Don’t even get me started on the way they communicate. Needless to say I’m a “lurker” and never post. I mainly just watch from a far, if you will. Consider me the Jane Goodall of the TTC community (that’s “trying to conceive” for those of you unfamiliar with this acronym – and yes I see the irony of this). Here’s a great post I found in the Off Topic section of the forum:

Okay… I have a question.

I don’t text a whole lot, I don’t IM either. I email quite a bit for my job, however.

I don’t get all the “codes” and “shortened words”. WTF is up with those?

How much harder is it to type “What” vs. “Wut” or “Because/Cause” vs. “Cos, I could go on and on? What happened to using proper english/grammar?

Am I just getting old???

Now, I respect what this woman is saying. I hate all this LOL and OMG crap. Can’t you spare a millisecond and actually type a full word out? It just makes you sound like an idiot. However, look at line three above. She added a “WTF” in there (and I can assure you it’s ironic use was purely unintentional). Ah woman … if I really were Jane Goodall and you were a gorilla I’d certainly give you a banana for that honey of a sentence. I needed a good laugh.

And these people are breeding…
