Icons; Zoey; Peeved

First, the nice:

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day - October 15 icons

Then the shocker:

Zoey is six months old today, my God. I'm really just... blown away by this. I need to update her LJ with things, I will after her appointment on the 8th.

Now, the not-nice:

It pisses me off so much to go back to Delphi and see myself removed from private forums that had stupid posting requirements. Nothing says unwanted more than being accepted and having friends there and then finding yourself booted out because you didn't spam the forum with posts. I'm not about to go begging to be let back in if it's THAT important to some people to monitor my usage of a forum meant for extracurricular use. It's not a job, I'm not getting paid to post, I was there to make friends and such and have a place that was parenting-centric. There is nothing more uninviting than finding you've been shut out because you were actually, you know, parenting a new baby, which always takes people time to adjust to doing, and didn't have the time to sit and read forums for hours a day - and really, Delphi forums TAKE hours a day to get through if they're active because of the format. My online time does not revolve around locked Delphi forums, sorry to say. At this point, I'm sort of discouraged and may only go to PIL:MoA to post about those icons.

I like LJ better, I sort of wish there was a decent LJ community for parenting that I wouldn't have to spend years weeding through various ones to find people who have my same views/have advice on the ways I choose to do things.
