   I also feel sorry for everyone losing their jobs.

   But this is only a taste of what’s been going on in the corporate world for the last 30 years.

   The only blessing, if you can call it that, for the fed jobs cut is that their jobs aren’t being off-shored (so far) and they don’t have to train their replacements.

   I’ve been there and done that – twice.

   Running a government like a business is what people seemed to want, and now that they’ve got it they will find out how brutal that can be.

   Once kids are going to school or daycare, they tend to bring home everything that’s going around and the whole household gets exposed no matter what you do.

   At least now with vaccines most kids don’t have to go through catching a lot of the most painful diseases.

   People who have never dealt with infertility just have no idea how annoying some of the things they say can be.

   The analysis the fertility specialist did on both me and my husband pretty much came back with – there was no way we were getting pregnant without help. I actually never went back to birth control after having our son – there was no need. Husbands sperm count was low, and I had a hostile environment which didn’t let anything get through to where conception needed to happen.Ivf was what we needed and it worked first attempt.

   Looks like they are already trying to get pregnant.

   And, yeah, it’s more spontaneous than all that.

   But it also looks like they are doing this like they have fertility problems – and that doesn’t happen till you’ve tried for a year and not had any positive preg tests.

   Intimacy on a schedule is indeed stressful.

   Took us 4 years of trying and a fertility specialist to have our son, and that includes 6 months of daily calls with our insurance to get approval to pay for ivf which was covered but it was jumping through hoops to get the pre-approval.

   They lost my paperwork at least 3 times – I got good at faxing it to them on the spot whenever that happened.

   I connected insurance and doctors office on conference calls multiple times.

   I developed a relationship with my insurance contact to the point where I knew her vacation schedule and almost had an unofficial phone tree for the home office.

   It was all an ordeal – but having our son is totally worth it.

   So I can really relate to today’s comic.

   This is one of the many reasons I lean towards Flying Spaghetti Monster.

   I’d Really Rather You Didn’t build multimillion-dollar churches/temples/mosques/shrines to my Noodly Goodness when the money could be better spent (Take your pick): 1. Ending poverty 2. Curing diseases 3. Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable.

   Aunty really resonates with me sometimes.

   Eventually you get old enough where other peoples expectations just seem arbitrary and ridiculous.

    Bugs Bunny eats carrots as a reference to a scene in the 1934 film “It Happened One Night” where Clark Gable’s character casually eats a carrot, rather than a reflection of actual rabbit diets.
