A thread to share latest posts on our blogs

[MmeLindor.]

Anyone?

I will start off with a link to my latest post, a part of the story of Beth (formerly known as Dora) who moved to Geneva to escape a relationship turned sour.

This is NOT me, by the way. I have drawn on my knowledge of Geneva but it is not an autobiograpy :)

BTW, Alpha, that prob sounded odd (well it looks odd to me, reading it back); but I think I've just been conditioned, by witnessing so many BF/FF bunfights here, to regard loud and proud BF advocacy as "brave" and risky. Which is a bit sad, now that I think about it, because it should just be normal and no big deal.

Just read the flame - nice response alpha - will be interesting to see if you get an answer...

dirty, thanks. Tbh there's nothing useful!!!!!

Hmm, it is rather controversial, your blog.

Great start. I like the contrast between the informative post about nutrition and eating well and the emotional post about your feelings and regrets.

DM/Alpha
I don't know that I find strong bf advocates brave. I must admit that I unfollowed you on Twitter, Alpha, as some of your tweets were too much for me. We all know that breast is best, but some of us weren't able to bf and many struggle with guilt about it. I don't want to start a bunfight about bf/ff on the bloggers network, but you must know that your blog and your tweets are likely to get heated responses when you post such strong opinions.

I think that you dealt with the comment well and would be interested in reading if the poster comes back to elaborate.

Mme Thank you so much :) A little haphazard at the moment I know but I'm going to plan my posts a bit more, instead of ranting!

"I always see your tweets etc and think WOW she's brave"

lol thank you. I'm passionate about certain topics and don't hold back.

I've kept the flame on the blog. I think visitors should be able to read it and make their own minds up. It's at the bottom of this page:

Was looking at breastfeeding adverts from around the world today:

Top 10 Breastfeeding TV Ads

I take yr pt, Mme (posting on phone) and of course bf advocacy should not be aimed at making ppl feel guilt. I didn't really end up with that impression from Alpha's blog/tweets but then, I have not seen a great number of posts, maybe three or four? One of which was making me worry slightly and then I read her breastfeeding story post and saw it in a somewhat different light.

I do think it is brave and good to speak out abt BF though, generally speaking.

Having said that, Alpha, I have just skim-read your HV post and ummm. It has, if I am totally honest, left me feeling uncomfortable. here is not the place or time to organise thoughts on it, is late and crappy phone not letting mw see what I am typing. Good night all, many interesting discussions to be had tomorrow/later.

Morning.

Feeling a bit concerned about having inadvertently brought discussion that could be upsetting/misplaced onto this thread where it doesn't really belong and just wanted to say sorry abt that. I seem to be having a week of saying the wrong thing on MN, which is not something I am terribly pleased about. Possibly this is making extra-edgy about having the same thing happen here.

Anyway, I don't know what my point is really beyond wibbling slightly. Sorry Mme, and Alpha, for raising topics that belong elsewhere. I think I should have kept my responses on the blog in question instead of here.

Have a good Friday, everyone.

Arse. Just went to post my thoughts on your HV post Alpha, and lost the whole thing when I clicked "Preview" because I wasn't already signed in to WP . Page takes you to a link-free Siberia in order to prevent phishing and then when you go back, the content of the post is GONE and now I haven't got time to type it all again.

Arse arse arse.

Posted the third in my Tantrum Checklist series this morning if anyone's interested :)

DM, I wouldn't worry about posting in the wrong place. Very difficult to categorise conversation midflow.

Like yr post Flamingo - very ahem, timely. Tempers a little short round here....

Great post, FB. Your blog looks really great. Have you changed the format?

Could you all have a look here at my thread about my blog name. Could do with some help on this.

My blog is about life with my four year old son, recently diagnosed as having autism. Here's my latest post:
autisticson.wordpress.com/

Good start, Reality. Have commented

MmmLindor - Thank you :) I haven't changed the format. Does something look different? (or have you also read my writing blog and got confuzzled?)

Stitch - Thank you :)

Ah, that might be it. I was remembering your other blog probably. I like it, very clear

Glad you like it :)

After wanting to knit for years and years but assuming that I wouldn't be able to due to having dyspraxia, I paid £3 to have someone teach me the basics at Camp Bestival a couple of weeks ago.

I've just finished this Gryffindor scarf for my son and am feeling extremely proud of myself! :)
