The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

987 replies

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

Hola bugs. queenrollo is a returner, she was around a while ago. She has hopped over from the hut of gloom and doom in infertility because since a recent op she has been a bit more optimistic about baybee winning and needs some BESH humour! I'm sure you'll get acquainted. She's off away for the weekend hence me speaking for her.
Boo to the Mummy FB comments. Enjoy the sunshine, sechsing and all inclusive! We miss you !

Oh dor, bless you, I'm so glad it's ok and you have seen baybee dot wriggling! Weird re the bleeding, let's hope that's the end of it!
I have survived my first week back at work. I've realised there's lots about my job I enjoy and since I manage my own time I need to do the stuff I enjoy! Quiet weekend ahead for me :)

FriendofDorothy · 18/05/2012 17:35

NO explanation for bleeding. The Good Dr seemed to think it just happens sometimes.

Can kind of take it easy but I am working tomorrow as I have to go to a conference.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 18/05/2012 17:02

Can't post much, on the way home but phew! Will post more later.

ShredniVashtar · 18/05/2012 16:48

Glad to hear all is ok dor! Must be v scary. Can you take it easy over the weekend?

Am enjoying all the horse action too. My horse experience is limited to happy hacking so not really in the same league!

Am celebrating here - yesterday I got promoted Grin . Am in the dr waiting room now and hoping she gives me equally good news and a plan to work to. Think I'll feel better if I can actually do something rather than just waiting and seeing.

KatAndKit · 18/05/2012 16:24

Oh dor I worried muchly when I saw your FB status this morning. Am so glad to hear it is all ok and you have had a good scan. Early pregnancy can be such a real headfuck but what a relief when you get good news. Any explanation for the bleeding?

Anyway you must be past 8 weeks now so good growth between the two scans and a good heartbeat means that it's as close as it can be to a done deal now. I hope this baybee will stop being naughty and giving you scares now and let you enjoy the next 7 months a bit more peacefully.

Trans abdominal. Having a team would definitely verge on the pervy.

Northey · 18/05/2012 14:00

I am clearly just shameless in my lack of fear of looking pervy. In fact, it's just a reflection of how much I hate having a full bladder for the teams abdominal sort.

FriendofDorothy · 18/05/2012 13:58

Well to be fair the Good Dr seemed a little surprised when I told him dildocam was a go-er. He said few people request it!

Northey · 18/05/2012 13:48

Glad to hear everything is ok, AmbassaDor.

I always request a dildocam. I prefer it Blush

FriendofDorothy · 18/05/2012 13:16

Yes, everything is fine (thank fuck)

Had another bit of bleeding this morning and I panicked on a grand scale. Begged for another scan appointment and saw a truly lovely doctor this time who not only took ages doing a scan** but actually bothered to explain to me the picture, what he could see etc. I felt very reassured by him which was lovely.

So, the good thing is baby is fine. Has grown 50% since last scan and is measuring right for dates. We saw a heartbeat, developing arms and legs and even saw it moving.

Amazing. Nobody told me early pregnancy what quite so fucking scary tho. I am so intensely grateful but occasionally it can be hard too.

**he offered me a choice of dildocam or extremal cam and I chose the dildo because he said it would be a much better picture! Oh how times have changed!

Northey · 18/05/2012 12:50

Hope everything is ok.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 18/05/2012 12:08

dor seen your post on t'other place - what's up? Are you ok?

Ah, I see I more or less killed the fred with my racing vids. Humble apologies.

Faithy, if I knew what I was doing on the gambling front I'd be a rich women by now! I do have a small bet every now and then but I love racing because of the horses. They are perfect athletes and Frankel could well be the best horse there has ever been. He is currently rated as the best horse in the world, and in the all-time rankings is currently considered the 5th best ever. If he has a good season he's likely to over take them all.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 17/05/2012 19:02

I'll get into racing if there's moolah to be made....
queen I'd always had visions of us meeting when you came here for an appt for those of you who don't know, we live relatively close in the hospital and was planning to dress up as.....a nurse Hmm
I'm close cycle buddy wise! Although droid played hide and seek at the end of the last cycle, I think I ovulated around Monday so I think I'm near you two, CD12 for me!

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 18:07

And if you enjoyed that is also worth watching.

I'll stop trying to convert you all now Grin

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 18:02

Oh no, that's so sad! She can't have been very old Sad

queeny HWHNN also has an impressive dress-up box! Apparently it's a military thing Hmm I should be grateful he's not a Royal Marine - they seem to take 1 of 2 options: women's clothing or butt naked!

If anyone is interested, now that I'm at home I can post a link to that video I was telling you about:

I was there that day, t'was amazing Grin

i just remembered I have a bright green evening dress with sequins which Margot from The Good Life would have been envious of. I think I should wear that if I ever get to meet you Faith we could do lunch in style....

eurochick · 17/05/2012 16:47

Norfy we are cycle buddies - CD18 here too! But I think I oved on day 14 (Sunday)and FF thinks it was day 13 (Saturday) so I will anticipate a droidal visit a little before you.
