Will you post the recipe/instructions? <BR/><BR/>Wait until after Purim if you must, but like many other commenters, I'm sitting here in a puddle of drool. <BR/><BR/>I think you are my only Internet doppelganger, but I have 2 at work. At least according to the S*bucks downstairs, where the baristas write "Ruth" or "Jen" on my coffee approximately 20% of the time.Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920069740080976708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-70096967456085754552008-03-09T12:08:00.000-04:002008-03-09T12:08:00.000-04:00I love hearing about Jewish traditions.

Mel at "Living a New Life with Infertility" has a similar marriage situation.<BR/><BR/>The "Impatient Patient" has the same doctor and very similar experiences.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067045642285877560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-18774778318144429582008-03-08T05:49:00.000-05:002008-03-08T05:49:00.000-05:00I'll tell you what I told my Purim-celebrating pal...I'll tell you what I told my Purim-celebrating pal yesterday -- why can't I be Jewish????

Like, right...Please give me some of those toffees. Like, right now. Are you willing to do an 11pm delivery to AA County?<BR/><BR/>I don't know that I've found an exact match doppleganger -- which is probably good news for everyone else. :-)<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I have always connected with Kami from Are We There Yet? Although our stories are different, in some ways they are the same. Mostly, it's that so many of her posts are comprised of the exact, very thoughts rattling around in my head.<BR/><BR/>I also see many similarities with Bean from Where is My Happiness? We both have daughters already, both endured years of unsuccessful IF treatments, and both were surprised by a naturally conceived pregnancy that sadly ended in miscarriage. Plus, I've met her in person and really dig her.<BR/><BR/>I wish I was gorgeous (inside and out) like JJ from Reproductive Jeans -- and oh! that voice! I wish I was brilliant and funny like YOU, my dearest Mel. I wish I had the wits and tenacity and gorgeous hair of Lindsay from Looking for Two Lines. I wish I had half the brain and vocabulary of Alexa at Flotsam. I wish I had even a portion of the heart and warmth of Becky from Are We There Yet?<BR/><BR/>I also have similarities to Amy from Waiting for ?, and Portia from Desperate to Multiply. I guess I see a lot of myself in other bloggers, which is why I'm so addicted to this community.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing you next Sunday!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037485291342703216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-69906969660614459142008-03-07T22:58:00.000-05:002008-03-07T22:58:00.000-05:00I haven't yet found a blogger whose story matches ...I haven't yet found a blogger whose story matches mine (childfree after stillbirth & infertility), although a few come close. But (& I hope she doesn't mind me posting this) JuliaS & I "knew" each other in a previous Internet existence ; ) & used to joke we must be cousins or separated at birth, et., because we have so much in common. We share a lot of the same interests & viewpoints, & often, something will happen to me & I'll find out something very similar happened at the same time to Julia too (e.g., we both started blogging at about the same time, unbeknown to each other). Most importantly: her Carena & my Katie share August 7, 1998, as their angel day.loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-22202339686063006662008-03-07T21:50:00.000-05:002008-03-07T21:50:00.000-05:00Hello Doppelganger!!

And you have inspired me...I am going to make mishloach manot baskets this year. I used to do it all the time, and in truth...I got wrapped up in myself and stopped doing it.

There are some gals out there that write posts about their family and I feel like it was ripped from my private journal.<BR/><BR/>But really I feel like I am a doppelganger of Sarah Solitaire. For starters we are both single, we both live in Florida, and then there is the crazy 3+ years of infertility thing not to mention she had a hep c scare just a few months before I did. <BR/><BR/>the toffee sounds amazing.

From the context it sounds like some kind of Blogging friend that reminds you of you, am I correct?

They had me at hello.<BR/><BR/>My doppleganger...hm....maybe Cally (remember Gravida Zero?) or KatD...both younger girls who adotped around the same time. KatD's daughter and my Ava also have alot of similarities and we don't live *TOO* far....well, more than a few hours apart, but let's face it...I live in the boonies. No one lives here.<BR/><BR/>So far I haven't seen anyone who got pg and adopted at the same time. I'm the myth. Making fertiles more stupid, one chance meeting at a time. I know.
