Dear Lauri,
I dreamed I met the Pope on a Disney cruise ship that was attached to a mall. I tried to hug him, but then I thought I wasn't supposed to so I apologized. He was living on the ship and I was just showing it to my daughter. She and I got stuck on the boat because I couldn't find my way back to the mall. – Wendy 41, Chattanooga, TN
Lauri: The mall suggests you are in a place in your life or in a particular situation where you have lots of choices to make. This may be why you are stuck in the dream, because of indecision or uncertainty in real life. Indecision in real life can also show up in our dreams as being lost. The way the mall is attached to a Disney Cruise ship is interesting. Have you been on one lately or are you thinking about taking one? Are you trying to decide if you are "on board" with a particular decision? The ship could also be connected to an emotional issue and your ability to navigate through your emotional issue. I think the Pope is in this dream to remind you to have faith that all will work out for the best and to "embrace" the positives of the situation. I am however curious about the apology. Is there anything in real life you feel bad about or feel you should apologize for?
Wendy replies: I am struggling a bit with a decision I made in the spring to not return to my teaching job this year. School just started and I'm feeling a little bit lost, just trying to find my new place. As for the apology, I do feel like I let some people down in this decision. The school is suffering because of the new head of school (she was the reason I left), but she left in April, but kind of made a mess of things and I feel like people think I should have stayed. Maybe I should have, but I think I made the best decision for my family.

When my Sheltie passed away, I received condolence cards, e-mails, hugs, and shared tears. Some of these people were old friends and some of them were very new acquaintances that I had met through a Sheltie rescue organization, where I got my little Kiki. I was so touched by their kind words which I knew were from the heart and from their own experience(s) and that they knew what I was going through.

When I've had a dog die, many people responded with cards or emails.This always meant a great deal to me. I no longer need any one else's validation of what animals mean to me and how their dying affects me. [That wasn't always the case.] So, there are lovely people in my life who don't connect with animals much and I have no expectation that they will ever understand my depth of love for a dog. The words of support and sympathy from any one are welcome and if there are also thoughts expressed that don't fit into my belief system, I let that go. It's taken me about 30 years to realize that what I feel for animals is real for me and it doesn't matter what others believe.
Karen wrote me the most exquisite letter about Lassie.It was especially appreciated because it was full of stories about Lassie, and the special things that Karen remembered about her. It helped me to think about Lassie when she was young and healthy, and helped get my mind off her last days. I think letters like that are especially helpful, along with an understanding that grief is recorded in the brain as if it was pain. Some other friends sent the kinds of things you would send if someone had surgery, and all of it helped more than I can say.

When our dear only 3 1/2 year old dog died of an heart attack while playing with another dog along a river walk, I was crying my heart out of me and stroking the good chap for a long time until the animal ambulance arrived. Dog-walkers (known and unknown) passing by came to me, took me in their arms and comforted me. This was helping me to get over the shock.

Whenever our friends lose a companion, my family and I make a small donation to one of two animal shelters in honor of their pet. Then, the shelter sends a card to them to say their beloved companion is helping a shelter dog or cat. Even though their grief is intense, our friends have told us they smile through their tears as they read the card letting them know their wonderful animal companion continues to touch others in this way.

Prior to starting a new job several years ago, I was interviewed by the entire office staff, and I mentioned that I had a blind dog who had recently been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, and that when the end inevitably came, I would need some time off to grieve. I figured if they were going to hire me, they ought to know that I took my relationship with my dog very seriously. When Jack did die a year later (he was such a fighter), everyone in the office gave hugs and shared tears and stories of their own beloved pets. It was so nice to be in an environment of animal lovers who understood. My sister came to be with us for Jack's last day and she was such a source of comfort for me, as she knew and loved Jack as much as my husband and I did. For me, every word or gesture of sympathy was very much appreciated and remembered, and my heart goes out to Ms. McConnell for the loss of her wonderful Lassie. I have enjoyed "meeting" all of her dogs through her books, and I hope that all the warm memories of Lassie make her loss a bit easier to bear.

It has been almost two years since we lost our first dog, Maggie after 14+ years. My husband and I felt utterly alone in our grief as one of the few couples in our social circle without kids - we were dog parents. Unable to find the right way to memorialize Maggie, and being an artist, I designed and created a candle using Maggie's old collar and pet tag....this way I could light her candle each night in memory and know her light still shines on even if she is not physically with us.
It wasn't long before I made a few for friends who lost pets in the months following. Before I knew it, I had requests coming in from friends, friends of friends, family, co-workers.....all feeling it was a great way to memorialize a pet and a great gift idea for those loved ones suffering the loss.
In the meantime, we felt the love for Maggie needed to be shared with another deserving dog......afterall, we are dog parents and Maggie would have wanted us to provide the same love to another dog. We now have Nelli and a booming candle business all because of the love of one truly great dog.

Our dog, Mir, a female, died 6 weeks ago from lympho sarcoma. She was 4 years old. My husband and I are dog parents and have 4 other dogs, all older than she. We are still reeling from this unexpected turn of events.
We were like zombies for awhile, numb with grief. We thought we were alone until we received a sympathy card from our vet. Shortly after we started receiving sympathy cards from our friends, some included pictures they had of Mir. Finally, a good friend came, helped me sort all of our pictures and made a scrapbook for us. We weren't alone and thanks to the help of others we will walk through our sadness.

My wife and I lost our cherished 12 1/2 year old pug Floyd about 8 hours ago. He was in ICU at Tufts for 3 days and, while they expected some sort of liver disease, a dignosis couldn't be found before he died. It was a gutwrenching 2 days becuase it seemed to come over him lierally in days, although he obviously was very sick with no symptoms. He was blind, and he has a littermate who is also blind. They have been with us since they were six weeks old, and the pain is unbearable. We are concerned about Otis, who is already walking around the house "searching". All the letters of yours have helped. We are still in shock, and it's nice to connect with "dog" parents who understand. We had no kids, these were our "boys". Thanks.

It's so awful to lose a dog, and it sounds like your experience was particularly hard given the speed with which it occurred. Plus, it's painful to know your other dog is hurting, too. My heart is with you. Take good care and know that there is a whole world of dog lovers who understand. KL

I lost a precious member of our family last Tuesday, her name was Ms. Ginger, she came to our home as a drop off someone didn't want. I can't imagain someone doing this to an animal. But they done us a favor as she was taken in an a very important member of our family for years.
I had her creamated and she is home with us all now. I know God has made a special place for all his kingdom in Heaven.
Roses to u my friend.

Three minutes ago I got a text from my sisbter saying that my cousins dog had just died. I'd been the first one out of my sisters to hold him after they got him and I spent every summer down st their house which made me feel like I had lost someone important to me too. The only thing me and my cousin had in common was the love for that dog and now that he's gone I don't know what to say to him.

What a lovely story. I have had recue dogs since I was 15 years old. This past weekend was the worst time of my life. I came home from work and found my beloved dachshund dead on her bed....I thought I would lose my mind. My other two rescue dogs stopped eating and drinking. I was worried about the youngest one (7 years) because he was such a lively dog and I thought he was willing himself to die...I took him to the vet on Sunday expecting that he would perk up and be okay and the vet's face told me all I needed to know. His blood work was fine last June and he showed me no signs of sickness...she told me he was a diabetic and his kidneys were shutting down..They put him on fluids and I took him home intending to return him the next day but at about 10pm that evening he left me....I was out of my mind...two dogs gone in one weekend....the pain is intense...I hope to adopt a 2 year old Dachsie who desperately needs a home this weekend.....My third dog has gotten better...she is eating now and drinking....my heart is broken in a million pieces....

Our little Marley passed away on Tuesday , 5 hours before he was to be put down. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure the week before...I was not prepared for him to pass away so quickly. The vet said he could live weeks, months, possibly even years if the meds worked....they didn't.

Now into its fifth day, the strike by more than 8,000 school bus drivers and matrons is under review by the National Labor Relations Board.
On one of the coldest days in recent memory, school bus workers stuck to picket lines as parents across the city found other ways to get children to and from school.
The National Labor Relations Board heard arguments on the legality of this strike. If it is determined to be illegal, drivers and matrons could be forced to go back to work.
The Board is expected to issue a ruling by the end of the week.
Members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181 are demanding job security after their contracts went out to bid by the city last month.
The Bloomberg administration has said it will not negotiate with the bus company that hires the drivers and matrons because it is a private sector business.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has repeatedly referred to the decision by several courts that guaranteeing employee protection is illegal.

All The Kings Men Series
Rise of the Fallen (AKM #1)
In the streets of Chicago exists an uneasy, centuries-old truce between vampires and their distant cousins, a race of shifters called drecks. Vampire enforcement agency, All the King's Men (AKM), is charged with maintaining the truce, but when volatile enforcer Micah Black loses his mate and falls into the biological agony that results from the broken bond, he tests the boundaries of the truce by seeking out Apostle, a leader in the dreck community. Micah wants Apostle to kill him, a request Apostle is more than happy to fulfill.
When ex-Army medic Samantha Garrett inadvertently disrupts the plot and saves Micah's life, a chain reaction sets Micah's heart on a collision course with Sam's, but he will have to protect her from Apostle and her obsessive ex-husband, Steve, if they will have a chance at forever. Can Micah hold his emotions together to keep Sam alive?
For a limited time, ROTF is FREE at: Amazon & Smashwords
$0.99 at B&N / Smashwords
Heart of the Warrior (AKM #2)
Severin was born to be a warrior. Conceived as a mixed-blood when his vampire father raped his dreck mother over two centuries ago, Severin retained the power of iron skin inherent to newborn drecks. However, Sev keeps this secret closely guarded. If it's discovered that inferior dreck blood flows in his vampire veins, it could destroy his life. And to make matters worse, his father suddenly wants to make amends for his transgressions. Sev wants nothing of his father's apology, especially now, as he contends with both an assassin who has marked Sev for blood vengeance and his obsessive attraction to his teammate, Arion.
Arion is the son of King Bain's liaison, Gregos Savakis, who had Ari's course plotted before he was even born. But what Ari's overbearing parents wanted for him wasn't what Arion wanted for himself, and a lifetime spent fighting through one relationship after another with females from all walks of life has left him weary in his search for a mate. After a startling and erotic encounter with Sev, Ari has begun to realize why. He's gay. And now he can't stop thinking about Sev. Arion suddenly realizes he's been forcing himself to be with females because that's what his parents expected. But what he wants is a male, and not just any male. Arion wants Severin.
Can the two overcome the secrets, prejudice, plotting, and the threat on Severin's life to find happily ever after with each other?

Micah's Calling (AKM #2.5)
With the threat of Apostle behind him and Samantha's life finally out of danger, Micah's mating phase, known as the calling, unfurls to full strength. Unable to resist the demands of his body and the hormonal heat that drive him to propagate the vampire race, Micah loses himself in the pleasure Sam gives him, yearning for her body to receive his seed to create new life. But after what Sam has been through – barely surviving Apostle's venomous bite, and then Micah's own venom to counter Apostle's and make her immortal – Micah knows Sam's body has suffered too much to accept a child so soon.
But the desire to nest and start a family isn't the only thing Samantha has awakened in Micah. She has also stirred Micah's long-dormant love of domination. With Sam, Micah finds himself longing to re-open his dungeon, and Sam wants to know more about this kinky world she has heard so much about but never tried. When Micah takes Sam to a scene party to introduce her to the BDSM lifestyle, their lives are turned upside-down when Micah is asked to assist in dominating a fellow dom's submissive, only to discover the submissive is his friend, Traceon.
Throughout her journey in this new world Micah has introduced her to, Sam begins to realize several hard truths about herself and what she wants. Will Micah allow her to explore her new interests? And will the new direction in his friendship with Traceon prove to be too much and break the bonds that have begun to tie them to one another?
Micah's Calling is a story of devotion beyond the level of friendship that will light your imagination on fire.
Author's Note: This is a novella supplement to the All the King's Men series. It is highly advised that you read Rise of the Fallen before reading this novella. Reading book two of the series, Heart of the Warrior, would also be beneficial, but not absolutely necessary before reading Micah's Calling. Strong sexual content, voyeurism, exhibitionism, BDSM, knife play, mild ménage, and much more.

Rebel Obsession (AKM #3)
Former cobalt addict and AKM drug counselor, Io is a male vampire known as much for his abrasive personality as for his playboy lifestyle. In other words, he's not the likeliest to make friends and settle down. Life on the edge suits him, and he lives full throttle, making his own rules, and damn the consequences. What he wants, he takes, and what he wants now is Miriam. If only he can find a way to see her again without getting himself killed, but her father stands in the way.
Miriam is the daughter of the king. Strong-willed and defiant, she feels like a prisoner in her own home and struggles to break free from under her father's oppressive hold. The king's law surrounding Miriam is explicitly clear: No one touches her. Period.
In a fit of rebellion, Miriam has turned to cobalt to find relief and freedom, but now she's a prisoner to addiction as much as to her father's strict control. What's more, she can't get sexy Io, who tended to her so gently as she recovered from her first overdose, off her mind. Will she ever see him again?
When Miriam overdoses a second time, she and Io are thrust back together, and all bets are off. Seeing each other was the one thing both wanted, and not even the king's laws and threats of punishment will be enough to defuse their rebellious obsession with one another now that they've found each other again, even if the consequences are death.
Just Released – JANUARY 2, 2013 and avaliable at: Amazon / Smashwords / ARe
Donya resides in Indiana, with her husband and a small zoo of cats and dogs. In fact, her writing buddy, Lucky, might become more famous than she is, based on the feedback the ever-present feline receives on her Facebook page.
As a little girl, Donya always had a book in her hand. As she got older, the books became pens and notebooks, which she filled with stories and poetry. For as long as she remembers, she has been writing and dreaming up stories. Seems writing was her destiny.
Donya loves music and often finds inspiration for her stories in the wide range of music she listens to. Nothing like a little Korn to propel the angst in a scene, or Enya to evoke softer and more romantic storylines.

WatchGuard hopes it is wrong in this prediction. But with more computing devices embedded in cars, phones, TVs and even medical devices, digitally dealt death is not only possible, it's plausible. Security is still often an afterthought when developing innovative technical systems. Criminals, hacktivists, and even nation-states are launching increasingly targeted cyber-attacks, resulting in the destruction of physical equipment. Most recently, a researcher even showed how to wirelessly deliver an 830 volt shock to an insecure pacemaker, proving that digital attacks can have a real-world impact.
Malware Enters the Matrix through a Virtual Door
Last year was the first real-world instance of malware that sought out virtual machines (VMs) and infected them directly. Today, there is an emergence of malicious code that can recognize when it's running in a virtual system and can act accordingly. In 2013, WatchGuard predicts attackers will create even more VM-targeted malware. It will be designed to take advantage of weaknesses found in many virtual environments, while attempting to avoid virtualized automatic threat detection systems.

According to the wife, when she calls from the other room he can't hear her. And, when she sits right beside him in front of the TV set he is completely oblivious to her. He also plays the TV too loud. If they go out to eat to a noisy restaurant, he doesn't understand anything she says. Does this sound familiar to you? He often responds with a WHAT? if he responds at all.
First of all, I will explain some possible reasons for this. First, men were designed by our Creator to focus on one thing at a time. That way they could go to work and concentrate on the job to bring home money for the family. Mark Gungor of Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage explains it something like this: Men go into their nothing box. This is the place they go to unwind and vegetate after a long day. It is very difficult to get them out of this vegetative state, and they may be totally oblivious to you when you try to. Sometimes you not only have to yell at him you may have to give him a tap on the shoulder to get him to realize you are with him. For a good laugh you may check out Mark Gungor's video on YouTube .
Another explanation of wife deafness is that the husband may actually have a hearing loss. The typical noise induced hearing loss has fairly normal hearing in the low frequencies, and a significant drop in the high frequencies. With a high frequency hearing loss it is more difficult to understand women and children voices; while male voices generally come in loud and clear. Since men can hear their male friends just fine; they tend to think they don't have a hearing problem. In addition, as the high frequencies decline, the consonant sounds become out of focus, causing a person to misunderstand what is being said.
Following is an example of what it sounds like with a high frequency hearing loss. Read the following sentence out loud and hear what it sounds like:
an you read i enane wi e igh requen ononan miing? I mae your brain wor mu oo hard o igure ou wha i being aid. or people i earing lo i oen eaier o idra an o or o ard a underanding.
With normal hearing this sentence should sound like this: Can you read this sentence with the high frequency consonants missing? It makes your brain work much too hard to figure out what is being said. For people with hearing loss its often easier to withdraw than to work so hard at understanding.
If you are being accused of having wife deafness or you can no longer understand the words, I strongly suggest that you seek the help of a licensed hearing professional .

Faith after Literalism: An Interview with Michael Gungor
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.

Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The top man at the Opryland Resort and Hotel said he feared another "Katrina" last weekend when he heard the nearby levees on the Cumberland River might break.
The statement came during a wide-ranging news conference Friday from Colin Reed, the CEO of the hotel and Opry's owner, Gaylord Entertainment.
He addressed the past, present and future of the devastating floods last weekend that severely damaged the Opryland Hotel and Grand Ole Opry House, two landmark facilities.
"The suddenness of this event and its immediate consequences and the city is quite astounding," Reed told a group ranging from locals to network reporters.
"Our company plans to do whatever it can to restore the great assets of this company to the form they were once in," Reed continued.
He would not speculate on a damage total but said, "I don't know if it will be $50 million or $100 million."
The CEO was joined by Gaylord's Chief Operating Officer Dave Kloeppel.
He told the gathering, "The most heartbreaking thing is you walk into these buildings and the soul has been taken out of them because there are no customers, no stars, no joy [and] no music playing in the Grand Ole Opry."
Kloeppel detailed damage to the Opry House which he said at one point Monday had two feet of water above the famous stage.
"We have a nice film of mud across the top of the stage," said Kloeppel.
"We are in there right now recovering archives we had in the Opry House and other places on the property, and we are optimistic damage not as bad as feared," added Reed.
He did, however, indicate some historic recordings may be lost.
Both men praised quick action by workers to save what they could from the historic venue before the floodwaters hit.
Gaylord officials described "a small army of people" and equipment cleaning up the hotel area with things like giant humidifiers to keep the vast number of undamaged hotel free of stagnant damp air.
The CEO twice referenced information from Metro emergency officials that it had received from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the critical hours before the flooding.
"We were told the river would crest two feet below our levees," said Reed.
He said his people indicated late Sunday the water was higher than that and still rising so the decision was made to evacuate over 1,500 people to nearby McGavock High School.
The Corps has received criticism this week from the likes of Tennessee's U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander.
There are lots of questions about the Corp's predictions, communication and whether or not too much water was released too late from nearby Old Hickory and Percy Priest reservoirs.
The Corps believes its actions did not contribute to the flooding, but kept the water from being even higher and the dams under control.
"At the appropriate time we will look as to the reason why [the flood] happened, this is not the time to get into a debate about whether or not we had accurate information or not," Reed said.
He did detail how critical decisions were made with Gaylord about evacuating as rains kept falling and the river kept rising.
He feared what happened with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans during a brief conversation with his security people.
"I said we are not going to have that situation here," Reed said. "God forbid if these levees break, or something like that we have got to put our safety first."
The flooding interrupted a quiet U.S. Defense Department conference at the hotel that may have left some sensitive information behind.
Included in the group were a few three-star generals who had to spend the night at McGavock High.
"I have personally received several letters from that organization thanking us for what you did," Reed said.
"There was sensitive information, has it been retrieved?" asked Reed in response to a question as he called up Gaylord Opryland Resort GM Pete Weien.
"We have been in constant contact with that group," said Weien, without specifically referencing the Defense Department group. "There has been no access to that area yet, they have outlined a list of things they are looking for."
Weien continued, "We don't know what's in them, but they have identified certain containers of packing materials. We have not been into those exhibit hall areas so we don't know if they are there."
The company's top men said their 4,000-workers would be receiving six-weeks of salary and benefits while cleanup companies dry out the facilities and contractors assess repairs.

Well I took two tests this weekend and they both came back negative I guess I have to wait another week to test b/c i still keep having these symptoms, can a stomach virus cause someone to have some of the same symptoms as pregnancy?
Well I took two tests this weekend and they both came back negative I guess I have to wait another week to test b/c i still keep having these symptoms, can a stomach virus cause someone to have some of the same symptoms as pregnancy?
It has been days since my AF stopped and I started spotting this morning it is like a brownish color, I still have nausea, slight dizziness, slight headaches that come and go and cramping but I took the pregnancy test and I got a BFN any ideas?
I don't know if I could be pregnant. I have gotten headaches the last few days, and i had heartburn for 4 days for no apparent reason. And usually after I eat something I wouldn't normally have my stomach goes really weird and I get nauseous. I've also been slightly moody. I get upset quicker than I normally would. We're really careful though because we're not ready for kids yet. Never once has he ejaculated in me, he always pulls out. I'm still a week and a half from my period. Would symptoms of being pregnant show up this early? I'm scared. Someone please tell me I'm just being paranoid and I'm not pregnant.
May still be too early to pick up the hCG hormone that indicates pregnancy.
Or you are stressed about possibly pregnancy, you are causing yourself to have "phantom symptoms".
Thx for your reply. I'm not stressing over it I was just wondering b/c some of these things are not normal for me If I am i'll be happy if i'm not then it's ok also, dissapointed, but it'd be ok but i'm not stressing over it or anything else at the moment
Hi all! I'm knew to this forum. For the past 10 months, my hubby and I have been having unprotected sex. Not that we were trying, so to speak, but hoping, I guess. Every month comes and goes and my period is right there in tow. (Even right now I'm welling up with tears) My last period was May 24th and today I am entirely exhausted even tho I went to bed at 10pm last night, I'm visiting the bathroom a million times. I have heartburn and my coffee is not agreeing with me too much. I've taken a pregnancy test and it was negative. I'm devastated. I don't know, maybe I just need to vent? I feel like a failure.
you know, if you got your period on the 24th of May, you should be due again the 21st ish? Anyways, most pregnancy test (or so I've been told) need to be taken 5 days before you're due to even think about telling you that you're pregnant. And even then, its best the day before your due. Mind you it's all what I've heard. Don't give up and feel like a failure. . In good time you'll get pregnant!
Hey, what happen to the PG ladies posting their symptoms? If you have questions, it would be great if you posted your own thread. I would like to read postings from some PG ladies and their symptoms before they found out about their BFP! Thanks!!
YO 28, DH 30 ~ TTC #1 since 10/07 ~ Hypo & PCOS
On charting break!
Praying for Ktover's & EJ's H&H 9 months!!
Well, all of us on here seems to be in the same boat so I'll just put my input too.
Where do I start? Ok, to start, I have a 4 1/2 year old little boy and I've been wanting another so if I'm pregnant, I won't be sad.:celebrate:
That being said, I had a period on 5/5 and then a couple weeks later, I was nauseous, dizzy, headaches, bloated...On 5/29 I stated spotting. This happened for 2 days, then I bled a bit for two days then spotted again for a day and that was it. My headaches, dizziness, body aches got worse, and hear this, my bloating became a rising stomach....LOL Yes, I have a little tummy, I'm nauseous, dizzy, urinating more, leg cramps, slight lower back pains, blurry vision, extra moody and sensitive....and oh yes, my fiance is getting some symptoms also. LOL
The problem is, I can't a positive urine test for anything. My son's godmother is a sonographer and she said that I probably need to do a blood test or wait to miss my period to get a positive urine. I had this problem with my son but by the time I realised, I was almost 3 months along so the urine test showed up.
If my calculations are correct, we should be 6 weeks along! In the morning I'm going to do a blood test but I'm scared it would come back negative....but I have a baby tummy! LOL So I would be really scared about what's wrong with me if it DOES come back negative. Does anyone know if it's too early to do a blood test?
If your last period was May 5, and you have normal length cycles, you should be able to get a definitive result now with a blood test. Good luck at the lab/doctor!
I hope so...but I did bleed a bit on 5/29.(not a normal period at all) Would that cause my blood test to be a false negative? Or is it enough time to show wuts up?
You might be, Shayla. When was your last PG and stuff?
Hi ladies! I've really enjoyed discovering this forum! All of your discussions have really helped to answer some burning questions I've had, but were either too afraid to ask, or didn't know who to ask.
I've never been pregnant before, and have wanted to be a mommy for some time now. My fiance and I have been having unprotected sex for over a year, but the difficulty has been that he has a very hard time ejaculating inside of me. Well, we had a couple really fun days at the beginning of this month that actually surprised us both, in that he was able to cum inside of me multiple times! I didn't really think much of it, until about a week ago when I started to feel "off". My last period ended on May 26th, and I'm not really sure if I have mine every 28 days or longer, since I've never really tracked before. After taking the online quiz someone provided earlier in this thread, I discovered that when we had sex was during my ovulation time frame. If I go by the 28 day cycle that would put my next period around June 23rd. However, in the past week or so I have had the following symptoms:
* change in appetite (as in I'm STARVING all the time)
* excessive urination
* headaches, more than normal
* heartburn (I hardly ever get heartburn)
* stomach cramping and more than usual gasiness
* lower (similar to period) cramping
* lower back ache, especially when lying down
* extreme fatigue (taking lots of naps lately)
Normally I would say that in any other woman, these may be signs of PMS, however I don't experience PMS...at least not before my period begins. I always have my PMS symptoms during my period.
I bought a 3 pack of Early Response HPT's and took one on tuesday, which had a negative result. I was going to wait until monday the 23rd to see if my period actually comes before taking another test, however I'm really ancy and my cramping and back aches have been getting more frequent, so I think I'm gonna test again tomorrow morning, using the first morning urine. I guess I just wanted to share my experiences and symptoms with this community and please say a little prayer for a double line (positive) result for us! Thanks for being here ladies!
ok, so maybe somebody can help me my last period came may 30th, we had intercourse around the 10th to the 17th of june not protected I started having some cramps not really bad cramps but I could feel them...know is June 22nd and I am still having cramps lbut this time they feel ike my period is coming which should be here on the 27th or 28th...could I be prego...ohhh my cramps started around the 16th...my breast dont hurt at all...
Hey guys, did y'all miss me? LOL Well, I've been on here everyday but just reading what everyone was saying. I have some questions though...
My stomach is hot...LOL It seems to have its own heating system. It's a different temp from my body. Also, can anyone else feel hard stuff around their navel? LOL Sounds weird but I'm serious.
And I'm cramping. I've heard everyone say they are cramping and I kept laughing and saying ha-ha not meeeee....now I'm cramping. It blows because I don't even cramp for AF.
At least I'm not as gassy as I was...I was getting tired holding those things in at work! LOL My body feels crazy...out of whack...Oh and DF dreamt that he was taking care of twins...*God help me* Both his parents have twins in their family! LOL
Can anyone tell me what the probability is of being pregnant and having what i thought was AF for one day red but less than usual not even enough for one pad, crampy too then brown discharge the next day, no cramps, I normally bleed for at least 3 days. If I ovulated a little late I may have been 12DPO on the 21st (day of AF), I'm trying not to build up my hopes its just really strange!

Aiight update...... Haven't seen AF and my lower back is KILLING ME! Especially at night. I be cramping a little but not as much as Sunday. Yesterday I had a headache for the entire day regardless of what I did, it did not stop until I went to bed last night.
DF and I BDed twice last night and this morning I went to da bathroom and wiped and there was a little blood...brown...but blood. But I just went to da bathroom at work and there's nothing...not even when I wiped! Dunno...whatever....I have never had to be this patient EVER, and I need an award after this. LOL
My DF and I decided no more BDing until we know what's going on. He's soooooo positive and I just wanna curl up in the fetal position and cry! :sleep:LOL
Your DF sounds like a really sweet and supportive man! I'm very happy for you and good luck with the waiting game. I'm right there with ya and am getting REALLY impatient!
Shleibert, when was your last period? When are you due to have your next one?
Is your bleeding really light or a darker or lighter color than normal?
I am new to this, so please forgive me if I did something wrong. I am going through the same thing. My period is very regular. I know when it is coming on and it is the same way every month, however it is different this time. I cycle came on after 18 days???? At least I thought it was. It just "showed up" and the next day I felt cramps (which is normal). I took a couple Advil and pressed on. It lasted for 2 days and was extremely light. It went off for a couple days and then I stared spotting. Normally once my cycle comes on the breast tenderness goes away and I feel fine. My breast are still sore and my nipples are more sensitive than normal. Moodiness is an understatement. I have been extremely cranky. I want to sleep all the time, however I don't sleep well. After reading some of these posts, I am wondering.....has anyone ever experienced this or is it all in my head? BTW....haven't taken birth control in YEARS!

I just got a BFP today-and I just knew it!
Its hard as far as the symptoms goes because I get a lot of those same symptoms before AF is about to show up.
But the biggest sign for me was extreme fatigue-like in my bones. tenderness in the boobies along with the occassional headaches.
Im trying not to get too excited because its been a rocky road for my DH and I, but man, I cant help it!
Also, I went to the dollar store and bought a couple boxes of HPT and took 4 of them and they all were BFP
Ok Ladies,
I have been through this whole am I pregnant thing before and normally almost everytime I know if it's my period but this is completely different. My breast are not sore and tender, I have not been cranky or rude and mean. I have had light headedness and dizzyness almost the whole month. my period was due yesterday and I had some cramping but ususally when period is coming I retain water and have bloating. All the signs of my period coming is not here but yet I keep hearing that pregnancy and period symptoms are the same so I'am confused. The only thing I have been doing a lot of is Crying. The other thing is my husband is eating and sleeping more, he does'nt really care for pizza and last week he wanted to order one I will be going to the doctor tomorrow because I would like to know the cause of the light headedness and dizzyness. I'am only a day late so should I buy a test then go to the doctor or just wait and see the doctor tomorrow. The doctor is not an OB just FP. Not sure if I could be pregnant. What do you all think?

I have several friends on notice to swipe the little packets of sauce from restaurants or fast food places when they get a chance. I'm hoping to get a small stockpile set up here shortly.

The cheese was quite bland and the marinara was a little sweet and lacking any character but they were at least able to cook the ravioli properly. (Might have a leg up on Olive Garden in that department.) That came with the traditional oversteamed underseasoned vegetable (broccoli, in this case), and one of those little cigar-shaped rolls of a "bread stick".
Supper was a small piece of lemon-herb basa that wasn't too bad. The lemon-herb sauce was decent and the fish wasn't terribly dried out. That came with the whipped potatoes and, yes, the generic yellow gravy. Veggie was peas and pearl onions, obviously straight from the freezer bag.

Oh Myles. What a mess! Your response sounded very sweet though and I doubt she can stay annoyed with you.
Erin. I wouldn't have much patience for that either.
ps-I feel so lousy because I know both your situations deserve much more indepth response, but I had yet another bomb shell dumped on me today and I just cannot focus. I'm sorry. I have read your posts and care very deeply about you and wish you both the best in your situations.
Hi, everyone. Had our appointment with the RE today. I was very uncomfortable/nervous going and so was DH, but I really liked the doctor. He had the results from DH's semen analysis and apparently he has poor morphology (16% where it should be around 30%, if I'm remembering correctly). Everything else was normal. So the doctor is worrying about the sperm and DH has to do another SA in 6-8 weeks. Then he did a transvaginal ultrasound and said my uterus looks good with normal thickness of my lining (8mm) - if the MTHFR were preventing implantation I'd have much thicker lining and he said no signs of endometriosis. He also said my left ovary was "perfect." Then he said my right had likely been the one to ovulate that month and everything looked good. He ordered lab work to be done on day 2 of my cycle and put in an order for an HSG. He didn't really present risks for the HSG or discuss was this something I wanted to do, just put in an order in the lab. Jennifer, I'd love your thoughts on the HSG as I know that's something you opted out of. Anyway, doctor said if the HSG is clear and the repeat SA is the same as this one, the plan will be clomid + IUI. He was concerned about the MTHFR due to the health risks to me (counseled me to take baby aspirin prior to boarding an airplane, but didn't suggest daily baby aspirin) and also the risks to a pregnancy, but wasn't worried from a fertility standpoint. He prescribed me a higher dosage of folic acid and suggested lots of salmon and sardines. I told him I hate fish and he told me to "get over it." LOL!
Overall we liked the doctor. Oh, and Jennifer, he did do a pap for me so no need to go back to the ob's office for that! I also asked his office manager to give me the appropriate billing code to show the ob's office and she gave it to me! She totally agreed with me it was bs and the billing department was wrong.
Myles and Erin, I love you both but I'm too emotional about the RE right now to pay attention to detail ... responses later as appropriate I'm sure.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Actually Myles, my boss has actually told me that she wants to prioritize certain things and when I do she keeps bugging me about other things. She asked for a list of my tasks and frequency of those tasks, for instance I have weekly, bi-weekly, bi-monthly, and monthly reports that I create so she knows my schedule and what I prioritize. She gave me a compliance task last week to call all our vendors (12 companies) and get an E-Verify affidavit from all of them because the housing authority needed them to comply with a new immigration law that was passed. She said to make it my first priority and only work on that and the daily reports I do for three days. I followed her instructions. Our big bosses out of state sent her an email saying they didn't get one my monthly reports so she calls me in her office and begins to badger me about why wasn't the report uploaded for them. I told her because she told me to focus on compliance and affidavits for 3 days and those 3 days fell during the time that I usually upload the report. She then proceeds to tell me that I should have uploaded the report the week before. I let her know that I always upload it on a specific date, it is not due for a week after that date. I told her it is not even due yet, even with me focusing on compliance (which I don't feel I should have to do, I've done it before and it is basically badgering people by phone for documents, something I hate because I feel like a telemarketer). She told me to get it uploaded, so I did and then she kept sending me emails with the following title: E-VERIFY DEADLINE ERIN!!!! with the following message: I need an update ASAP :-) (she puts the smiley faces in, that is her). She is really a trip to me.
Most of the items that she is always jumpy about as well are really not a big deal. Like the report I didn't upload, she didn't have to call me in her office (after sending me an email titled: COME SEE ME IN MY OFFICE ASAP, she puts ASAP after all her messages which is why I always joke with my co-workers that she is yelling at us lol) about that report. She could have just emailed our top admin assistant and told her that she had me working on something else that was a priority and I would upload the report on Thursday if that was okay.
She is a nice lady though personality wise most of the time. I also feel sorry for her because the way our bosses out of state handled the situation with my previous boss was very dirty and underhanded. They didn't have any reason to fire her and basically forced her out of the company, I think because she didn't get along with the head of HR. I feel like they put the new boss in a difficult environment being that no one from our out of state office really gave her any guidance with the new position. I am basically telling her how to be the VP through our conversations about what my last boss' tasks were and how she did them, who to talk to, etc. I did not sign up for compliance or trainer to a VP. I have worked in higher level positions and have been stressed out about deadlines and goals that I HAD to meet to perform my job. I don't have any deadlines that are like that at this company. I make my own deadlines and the reports I create are not vitally important to the running of the business. I am not audited for accuracy by an outside agency, which is the case with procurement/compliance as we are audited by the local housing authority and by HUD and I don't want my job to depend on scores from audits. I feel in a way they are trying to force me to leave as well but that they are holding off on firing me because they need me to train the new boss and other employees they hired after firing some of our vital employes all willy nilly without thinking through the consequences it would have on the business.
Personally I feel the company is going down hill as well and I should get out before I lose my job. I feel the out of state office wants to micromanage and doesn't want to listen to my suggestions. I feel the same way about the new boss. She does everything that the out of state bosses tell her to do even though they really don't know what they are talking about. Both of the execs involved in our affairs work in Chicago and have only been with our company for about 6 months. They do not know much about the processes and procedures in our region and I feel it will implode on them within the next year. I do hope for them to be successful though but they are just working my nerves.
I agree too that it is good to continually look for work. I was thinking like you and that I could garner more money and I am happy I got to learn more about real estate and construction management while at the job I am working. I have worked at a construction company before but it is interesting to learn the other side of the business from a property management/owner position.
But I am really sick of procurement if you can't tell and all cap emails LOL.
And Chrissy don't worry about not being more in depth. I just wanted to vent a little and really didn't expect any response.
Christina, how did N's appointment go today?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I just got here and I can't believe all the long and detailed posts that have happened since I last checked in, and it's only 5 minutes until my bedtime because certain children stayed up way later than they were supposed to. All I can say is that I feel like I can't reply even a little because I don't have the time to reply to all, but what a day it's been! Hopefully I'll have a chance to sneak in bits and pieces tomorrow at work. I hope all of you have a calm night.
Erin - that boss sounds awful! I would definitely be looking for something else. It is just a set-up for failure situation. Ugh. I hate working the most because of bosses and co-workers. I always just want to show up and do my work, but there's always some awful personality issue that ruins it.
Myles- I hate situations like that, too. They make me feel sick to my stomach and then afterwards I just want to take a nap. It is hard when everyone around you is saying that reality is THIS to not be influenced by that.
Gwenn, glad you had a good appt.
Chrissy - I wish it would stop raining on you.
Christina - I hope N's appointment went well
Ash - I thought Toy Story 3 was sad and scary and just awful. JoJo has seen it - she says it is scary but it didn't really sink in if that makes sense. But I wouldn't have let her see the movie myself (thank you in-laws)
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
((hugs)) Mandy. It does sound like your RE is a good one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I'm still too busy to really think about and post replies appropriately but you ladies are all in my thoughts constantly.
I'm taking Bobbie up to her school to finish her registration. School is supposed to start tomorrow for her! Eek!! And I have to register Jesi and Sydney for school as well so I'll be out most the day. I hope everyone has a great day.
Myles that must have been very uncomfortable. I don't care too much for confrontation either and find that it drains and depresses me!
Erin that would annoy the crap out of me! It is ridiculous that they fired two people and expect you to continue doing those jobs with no compensation I don't blame you one bit for wanting to look for another job, a change can be very refreshing
Gwenn DH only had 10% morphology and you see where that go us Your RE sounds great. I never did an HSG, but we considered it and from my reading its a fairly simple procedure to check and make sure that your tubes are open.
AFM N's appointment went fantastic!!! He does NOT have cystic fibrosis!!! and his stool sample (the one out of three they had back) showed no signs of an enzyme deficiency!! AND he gained 1lb 10oz!! He is still severely under curve, but as long as he continues to gain no more testing for us!!! It was the best appointment EVER! I thought I was going to cry, it was pitiful!
Ladies, I know you know, but don't ever feel like you have to reply to anything I say in here. I'm just happy to have somewhere to "put it", when something's on my mind. And I especially wouldn't expect your thoughts on posts where I asked you to follow so much detail on such an everyday type of burden. Hugs to you all.
Gwenn, your RE sounds thorough. I would be super emotional about a visit like that too, so I hope it's at least reassuring to get some answers through all the testing. If Christina's DH had 10% morphology then I like your odds. perhaps you could increase them by DTD 3x as often.
Erin, your boss sounds like a micro manager, and anxious because she doesn't know her own job herself. She sounds like a lot of project managers I have worked with, which means she sounds pretty green. The execs at your company are to blame too because they seem to be placing unreasonable expectations on her, which she then transfers onto you.
Christina, that must have felt sooooooo good to leave the doctor's office. I'm glad N is doing better and CF-free. That deserves a Woo-hoooo!!!

Sounds like a pretty good appt with getting everything covered. Did he order any lab work for you? I'm thinking a TSH is usually done, prolactin, FSH....trying to remember what else.
I would do an HSG if I were you. It's pretty much standard if doing IF treatments. The risks are really pretty low, like 1% or something for infection and often they do a course of antibiotics with it. I was basically just being a big chicken....and I was even offered some valium or something to take first. I would have bite the bullet if I was going to do an IUI though. No sense in wasting the money on that if the tubes are blocked. But for me labs are subject to deductible first so we would have paid out of pocket for it. Didn't see a point in paying $1375 or something like that when we knew we wouldn't be doing IUI or IVF anyway. Better for us to put that money towards the adoption.
There is some belief too that the flushing of the tubes can increase the chances of success for about 3 months afterwards....especially if they use oil based dye instead of water based dye.
Oh duh, just saw the order for lab work!
I wouldn't get over my hatred of fish either. I would just find the burpless fish oil pills and take those instead!
That's fantastic news, Christina!
Erin, your job situation sounds like my dh's before he moved to his current role. He had a boss that was just an idiot as a boss. I wish he would get out of the retail business. He's always getting measured on all sorts of numbers and statistics and the pressure really gets to him.
Myles, it sounds like you were stuck between a hard place on the tenant situation. Did she ever call you back?
We did a few new moves last night at zumba and I thought of your crazy names for them. One was where we marched with our feet wide and waved our arms in the air like we were trying to catch dollar bills in one of those air booth things on game shows.
Still no poo from Travis but Cash seems to be doing enough for them both! I just wish Travis would stop saying he can't do it and just push the turd out!
Yet another double post from me

Poor Travis Being constipated so NO fun!
Good morning, ladies. I had a very weird and unpleasant night. I don't think I have enough staff today, so I'm stuffing my face with an entire day's worth of food before clocking in, in anticipation of not having any breaks.
1. "No time to play a game, kids. Mommy says it's bedtime."
2. Baby bedtime was up to me. He took 2 hours to fall asleep and got his shots that day. He started calling me by name from his crib. "Ee-ee-uh, Ee-ee-uh, Mommy, Ee-ee-uh," and when I came closer he'd grab my head with both of his hands and give me a kiss. That wasn't the bad part, obviously. It was the crying from 11-12:30 before I finally gave in and gave him ibuprofen a little bit early.
3. DD started episodic crying during the night in her sleep. Every 30 minutes, then every 60 minutes, then every 90 minutes, then so on. I would go in and she would be sound asleep but sobbing like she was miserable. I tried to wake her up to no avail. When I finally succeeded, she denied being sad or scared, and said she was having a pleasant dream. She said she had no idea why she was crying. During one crying spell, I went in and found her draped over the ottoman in their room, sound asleep and sobbing.
4. DS wandered into our room and asked for Daddy in the middle of the night. I said he was sleeping and took him back to his room, and he said he was hearing voices. I asked if it was DD, and he said no, he was hearing voices in his head. I asked if it was a dream, and he said no, he was awake but hearing voices in his head. I asked him if they were saying anything. He said they were telling him to do things. The hair on the back of my neck lifted. I asked what they were telling him to do. He paused for a long minute, and he said, "Well, right now they're telling me to go back to bed and go to sleep." That part sounded made up on the spot to me, but who knows about the rest. I do know that singular auditory hallucinations can occur in otherwise normal people, and that you can't believe everything kids say, but it's still kind of creepy. I told him if he ever hears voices telling him to do bad things, he shouldn't do them and to tell me right away.
Needless to say, I got maybe 30 minutes of continuous sleep at a time during the night, and 4 1/2 hours total at the most.
Darn it, two minutes to clock in time. Christina, so happy about the good news with your appointment! Gwenn, I am glad about your appointment too. It seems so promising. I would just take fish oil capsules as well, because even though I occasionally eat fish, I don't eat enough and I don't like the really fishy-tasting fish that has all the benefits. Ash, keep up with the Miralax - I truly believe it's a miracle drug and it will work eventually. Mylah, thanks for your reassurance. I'm glad it was enough to talk about it, because I am out of time again.
Thanks, Lydia; it's reassuring to hear that from you since I know that you are in the medical field! Your night sounds draining to say the very least. I hope tonight is a better night for you. Travis has done that crying in his sleep thing and it's so weird. He did it for like 3 nights in a row a few weeks ago and then it just stopped.
L that sounds like one rough night! I really really hope that tonight is better and you are able to get some sleep!
Yowza! What a rough night, Lydia!! I hope you get a second to check in here, so you get this: from me.
I have a question for you girls. When you see someone is doing something - even on the computer - and you're trying to talk to them, do you keep talking even if that person doesn't look up? Even if that person hunches closer to the computer screen to try to concentrate better with someone talking in their ear? My DH doesn't. I had told him I was trying to do a file transfer for work. And he just stormed off when I sighed heavily and shot him a look and deadpanned - "that sounds interesting".
Ash - LOL. We gotta come up with a name for that move. It sounds like a game show!!
Yes I stop talking if I see someone is involved on the computer, but my DH does not
So glad to hear about Ns appointment. I hope he keeps on gaining well!
And I sometimes talk to people when they are on the computer. Usually it is because I am doing something else. Our office also functions as "my room" I have a bed in there and my clothes and a bathroom is attached so I go in there to fold clothes and dress and such and if DH is in there on the computer, then I talk to him sometimes. He will tell me that he is doing something and didn't hear me though and I will tell him I'll wait for him to get done with whatever he is doing. I don't have a problem with that. What irks me sometimes is that he will insist I tell him again immediately what I was saying and I tell him I don't want to because he is not paying attention, he says he will, I tell him, and he says "huh, I was looking at (whatever)." It would make me upset but I figure I shouldn't have been talking to him anyway. I haven't done that in a while and I think I'm going to get us both laptops so that he won't be in my room anymore anyway.
I do get extremely annoyed when people try to talk to me when I'm working. It's distracting and hard to focus. Even if it's a simple task, sometimes someone else chattering at you makes it more complex than it ought to me.
I try to talk to DH when he's on the computer because it's easier than talking to him while he's watching TV. I know he usually doesn't hear a thing I say either way.
DH has a habit of talking even when I'm clearly not interested, or busy, (eyes glazed over, monotone, monosyllabic answers to questions, etc.) whereas I've learned to stop talking or at least make sure I have his attention if I see those symptoms.
Erin, the more I think about it, the more I say... look for another job!!! You deserve a boss who appreciates how awesome you are.
It is a product of our lifestyles, I imagine. I am probably more available to talk, because I am frequently moving around in the evening, doing things with my hands like picking up toys or loading the dishwasher or putting away laundry or wiping down counters while dh is lying down on the couch with a screen in front of him. So if he needs to say something to me, it's not really an interruption, whereas if I say something to him, it really is. Or even if I'm here, it's easy for me to stop and listen if he wants to say something.
I am still really dwelling on last month's episode where I came out from putting the twins to bed and wanted to talk to him about this increasingly problematic behavior that DS was exhibiting toward baby DS. I got about six sentences into it when I realized he was very annoyed at me for talking. So I stopped, and later on he told me he was giving me deliberately and increasingly obvious signs of his total lack of interest in the conversation. First he sighed as he paused the tv. Then he didn't look at me and didn't respond very much. Then he had to actually look away from me and start tapping his fingers before I got the clue that he didn't want to talk. I am horrified and humiliated about that whole thing, and it's making me very defensive with a lot of our conversations, because I'm wary that every conversation we have he could just be rolling his eyes internally and wishing I would go away and leave him alone. It's a really hard situation to be in, and makes me feel like the unpopular girl at school that nobody wants to play with, except it is at my own house.
So I can't help you from your end, honestly, but I can help you from the end of being the person who feels like everything else is more important. And it's really hard to see the person you love get annoyed just because you want to talk to them. And mostly we spend 3 hours a night doing separate and quiet things and we don't talk at all except if I have to say something intrusive like "Remember that we have this weekend coming up where you need to take Friday off."
I know that's probably not the situation you guys are facing, but IF you have a choice, I would say that rather than send off "Don't bug me, I'm busy with my computer right now" vibes and hoping they get the memo, I would, in their shoes, prefer to hear something like "I really want to hear what you have to say, but I am right in the middle of something right now and I don't think I'd be able to fully concentrate on what you are saying until I finish it. Do you want to set aside some time to talk when I'm done?" and then stick to it.
Along those lines, I think I need to be better about asking my dh if he is able to talk before just interrupting.
ETA: Obviously this is something I'm still dwelling on quite a bit. I was thinking about this quite a bit last night, actually, as he accused me of being quick to anger recently. I realized it's because every time I talk to him I am wondering if he is trying to signal to me that he wants me to just shut up and leave, so I'm being hypervigilant for signs of his disinterest, so every glance away or every tone of voice that is not perfectly even is reason for me to ask him what's going on. It's awful.

Jeez, Lydia. I would have been totally hurt. I don't like how he makes you feel.
Dbf gets really frustrated if i don't stop what I'm doing and listen to him and he is a huge talker. Like, nonstop. He talks fast and loud and long. Just now he was telling me in a very animated way about a vegetable in the garden and said, "It's THIS big!" and I was chopping vegetables so I didn't look right away and he said, "HELLO! FOCUS!!" I said "I AM focused, on chopping this garlic!" If I don't answer him immediately he says something like, "Am I talking to myself here?"
But he literally cannot focus on 2 tasks at once and will become very stressed out if asked to so he will ask me to wait until he finishes the task at hand.
Christina, I am so so so happy that N is doing so well! You are a good mama.
