Where are the mods???

Is Dawn (site owner) the only mod or are there more?  How can we reach them?  They need to take care of this immediately-how gross.  It's polluting the general discussion forum also.   It's been up almost an hour!  I know people have lives, working, commuting, etc.  If anyone has a way to contact them though to get rid of it?  I've flagged them but others can do the same...

SD visit- blog hogging

Sorry for two blogs in a row- wanted to give a quick update on SD/pregnancy thing.  At this point we are coming around slowly to the idea. 

Their plan was to move with his parents to SC as they have purchased a lot of land.  They were going to move in with them temporarily until their (SD and fiance) got their place built.  There were some issues with their plan, SD has a dog she loves but they are insisting it cannot be in the house with them and has to be made a kennel outdoors.  They put a lot of thought and realized this is just not an option.

OT- Alanon

Has anyone attended Alanon?  DH has quit drinking liquor, but still drinks.  Granted it's 1/8th or less then he did, a beer at night or a Mike's hard lemonade and stops.  I noticed on the weekends though he loads up on several of these.  Doesn't get like he was but we went through many years of this battle and I won't lie, I have developed co-dependency and PTSD from it. Trying to control, etc etc.

My question is not about that, but more about Alanon's format. Is it very faith based?  Is it really focused on a supreme being controlling outcomes, prayers, stuff like that?  

We survived the weekend

AND, it was actually very nice.  The gender reveal was survived, NOT my crowd at all but it went well, looks like DH is having a grandson.  BM had her moments of wanting to reminisce with DH-which I gave her that and just sat to the side and pretended to not eavesdrop lol.  DH did a couple times not answer some of the reminiscings, but overall it wasn't crazy.  She greeted us with a hug and seemed happy to see us.  Her fiance was pretty standoffish, never came close enough to introduce himself or have BM introduce him, we did find that a little odd.  SD and her boyfriend seemed very happy a

So anxious...what to say? How to act?

So, this whole gender reveal party thingy is REALLY throwing me off.  It's been about 1.5yrs of no contact with BM (since SD's graduation) and no drama.  I guess DH and I were hoping to never ever have to deal with her again in our lives, SD has stated she didn't want kids at ALL, and that IF she did it would only be because her partner really wanted one, but it would be in her 30's.  She was adamant about it.  As you know, I think her bf's influence has likely been key in her going ahead with this pregnancy.  So here after only a small break, we get to have bm involved/wrapped up somewhat

Man dumps 80,000 penies for CS on front lawn.

Did you guys read this story?  I apologize if it's been posted before.  https://abc7ny.com/man-dumps-80000-pennies-in-yard-to-dollars-child-supp...

I simply can't wrap my head around it, even with toxic bm's-the payment is for his kid, he did it to get back at his KID. No excuses for that move.

Guess I'm going to the gender reveal?

So, as you know with SD being pregnant, I had not responded to the invite to the gender reveal party.  1st- I'm disappointed in her decision to go ahead with the pregnancy- correction we BOTH are, though I'm more on team 'let her do what she wants' I know it's just plain dumb at her age 2nd- I hate gender reveal parties, find them narcissistic and idiotic, we had both decided not to do originally since there will be other events soon enough.  

OT-Interviews these days

So I had my phone interview today.  It's with a very known company in my previous industry.  I was very excited to see the jobs posted and the changes they are making.  My previous company was a client of theirs also -so I've worked with some of their departments very closely.  This interview was with the recruiter.  She advised that what she does it makes a presentation of our interview (it was over the phone) and then if they want to proceed, it goes on to 3 more stages (Hiring manager, another operational manager and then the final is with the VP).  They will all be done via Webex.  It's
