whatever became of Pat Cash, anyway? I remember when he won Wimbledon and crawled up into the crowd. I wept, I thought it was so beautiful. And I was in the 7th grade. Tennis champions have been doing it ever since.

I guess the dude always lived in fast lane – compare the mosaic’s picture (1986) to the Wimbledon’s (1987) – he looks good 5 years older…

Nina
At the risk of being rude myself I do realize that you wish to help. However often your comments come across as not being helpful but being condescending, pushy and annoying. Picking up and moving yet again to another state and working for Fed Ex is not feasible for many reasons which I won’t explain in detail here on your blog. Good luck to you.

Michelle – I only respond when you ask for advice – I never volunteer it. And I have a huge respect for your resilience, readiness for action and bunch of other qualities. You don’t like when someone disagrees with you – this is your decision, and it’s perfectly fine with me. fedex-kinko was just an example of someone thinking out of box (as was the case for that girl), I actually took that advice myself, having changed both jobs and insurances after my bfn. And I’m very grateful to rajen for pointing out that you can’t work crazy hours at stressful job AND work on having a kid, notwithstanding your life circumstances.

You can do whatever you want to do. Michell asked for people to pick a number of the choices SHE was looking at, not make up total new life changing, career changing plans that are totally unrealistic.
As for your you can’t have stress and TTC comment I cannot believe ANYONE dealing with IF would EVER make that kind of comment. Muchell is a nurse, it is an awesome very reliable career. California also has mandatory fertility coverage to a degree. Moving to Texas to work for fedex is ridiculous, if you want to do that than you should.
I have been blown away by your comments for months at her blog, they are so very condescending and anything but supportive.
Why do that?
I know Michell, in real life, she is a wonderful, caring, warm person. PLEASE just leave the comments to someone else.
