The Great Mofo Delurk

And I had no idea it was happening...

So leave a comment, will you? Especially if you haven't left one before...

Profanity wasn't my choice, motherfuckers. I just go along with it because if everyone jumped off the cliff, I would be diving too.

OOooh, I get to be the first?! I feel special!

I'm not really a lurker per se, but it has been a bit since I left a message besides 'please add me'.

So, let me say Mel, THANKS for all you do. And the personal things you share with us. And all the hard work you put in to help this community help one another.

Ooh, rather than a delurk, let's make it an all hail the great Stirrup Queen Mel in all her glory and goddesslikeness!!

Meghan said...

I'll third Queen Mel!!

JJ said...

I saw this on another blog (outside the IF realm) today--glad you posted it!
Yes I agree, hail to the queen!

MoFo lurker de-lurking! Hi Mel,
I've recently added you and many other sister bloggers to my favorites... and obsessively check them for updates. I think I have a problem, haha. I want to thank you for all of the humor and wit that you provide for us (non-blogging) infertiles out there. I'll try to de-lurk more often.

m said...

LOVE this idea. And All Hail Mel!!That's even better!

Still working on the meditation thing.....

Steve and Jen said...

I'm not exactly a lurker, but I am a LIGHT commentor. So, hi!

Brokenornot said...

Delurking.

Love your list. :P

Lollipop Goldstein said...

Oh no! But I can't follow Stephanie back to her blog. Everyone post a link if you're delurking so I can find you too if I don't already know you.

Long live the Queen.

I like the "ghetto vibe." MoFo indeed.

All hail Queen Mel!!!

squarepeg said...

hello! I'm a rare commentor.

... hail :)

Sorry I wasn't clear when I said "sister bloggers" I meant all of you wonderful bloggers, as I don't blog. I think you can see why! Although I think I just proved how obsessive I can be as a mofo lurker! LOL

Quick stats

2 years trying

5 months of clomid

1 lap...diagnosed with medium endo

Currently in the middle of IUI attempt number 6 with femara -this time with acupuncture

Don't you just WISH I would only lurk?

-lori, a constant lurker and a sometime commenter (working on that)

Another subfertile non-blogger delurking. Many rounds of IUI and angel maybe-babies... we're currently on hold until IVF becomes a financial possibility.

ColourYourWorld said...

Mainly a lurker these days with the occasional comment but I do lover reading Queen Mel ! Keep it up !

Jules said...

Hi Mel

Samantha said...

Fuck, I try to comment frequently! :) A little profanity never hurt anything, right?

Anonymous said...

Well, I've left a few comments on your blog recently, but thought I would say hello. I don't have a blog myself, but love reading yours & others. Living childfree/less after infertility for six years now, and 9 years after the stillbirth of my dd in August 1998 when I was six months pg.

IdleMindOfBeth said...

I don't know that I qualify as a lurker, but I can't not respond to the use of "MoFo"!

Thanks Mel, for the support, for the community, for everything.

OH go on, I'll leave you one too! XXX

Grad3 said...

I haven't been posting a lot but have been reading... my bad!

So glad to see Jane is back by the way- I have missed her!!!

Shauna said...

Delurking to say hello. :)

Caro said...

*pop* delurking - a bit late but hey.

Sunny said...

Well you know me, a day late and a dollar short. LOL

I love your swearing! Maybe I will make it my word for the day. Can you just see the kids faces as I say, "Mother Fer!!!"

Rachel said...

I am not technically a lurker since I do comment from time to time, but it's been awhile. Thanks for bringing all of us together!

Anonymous said...

Queen Mel--we love you! Thanks for everything you do.

Soupy said...

Me , me , me
I try to pop in at least a couple times a week - not as good w/comments as I would LOVE to be............
:)

AwkwardMoments said...

What a great idea. i was noticing I have ALOT of de-lurkers lately..comments are always so nice to get

Kristen said...

Haha, gotta love the mofo thrown in for good measure!

If your family is reading, they will love that I'm sure ;)

Mirabel's Parents said...

i'm a lurker coming out and saying HI and thanks for adding me to the blogroll!!

Patricia said...

/lurk

hello :)
oh, and i'm totally stealing this post.

beagle said...

I read more often than I comment but nothing so untoward as (gasp) lurking!

gold star said...

I'm not sure if I am a lurker. I think I post here but have a terrible memory. If I haven't, shame on me, b/c I love your site.

Stacie said...

New lurker here and I love what I found! Thanks for all you do!

Unknown said...

I am finally delurking.

battynurse said...

This is a good idea. I don't comment on all the blogs I read often enough.

TeamWinks said...

I'm not a lurker. I comment from time to time. In fact, I count this as a regular stomping ground of mine. Thanks for keeping us all connected Mel!

Amanda said...

little bit late... but hey, it's something, right.

my first comment on the blog and this is it? sorry it wasn't more memorable.

Anonymous said...

Although I'm one day late for the great delurking, I can't imagine that it's too late to come out from l'yad ha'amud ;-)

Caroline said...

Ok, after 6 months of stalking, I'm finally posting. Thank you so much for this site. I'm guilty of visiting at least once every day. Wow, I feel better already.

Now, I'll go quietly back to my dark room . . .

Alyssa said...

A part-time lurker am I. I think I like the idea of being called a delurked mofo, though. :) I love this site-I don't know what I'd do without it. Thank you, Mel, for all your hard work, effort, and time spent on this labor of love.

C said...

Not really just a lurker, but I guess I lurk more than comment. So, here I am, standing up off my fat butt to wave and say "hello everyone! I'm here!"

Baby Blues said...

Well you know me! Just putting in my comment.

Amanda said...

Am I a lurker...maybe...I think I left one comment.

So now I'm a delurked, even if I am late at it. :-)
