We have some new faces around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-pen-pals-if-edition-fall-2013#post-1083855 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 20:03:05 +0000 BSB 1083855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Oh, I guess I was thinking having a pen pal would be good from someone who gets it. We can write or email letters without saying the wrong thing. I think most of my letters that I will send will be not baby related. I think having someone who understands where we are at can be a great support system.</p> <p>As for other ways, I don't know. I know on the FB group that I'm on they send each other colorful socks. You know since we are always in the doctor's office and in stirrups. I would love to do something like that with fellow IFers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-pen-pals-if-edition-fall-2013#post-1083820 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:48:00 +0000 spaniellove 1083820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I've been thinking that the concept of pen pals for IF might be a little different because of the unpredictable nature of IF. Do you think there are any additional ways we could support each other? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-pen-pals-if-edition-fall-2013#post-1083804 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:41:27 +0000 BSB 1083804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else want to join? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-pen-pals-if-edition-fall-2013#post-1077665 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:54:07 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1077665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a great idea!

I was wondering about that and I wasn't sure. I know there might be other IF members who don't have gold and I didn't want to exclude them. Although, if some of the info we are disclosing is personal, we could change this thread to gold. (But I think emails/addresses should be sent via wall post instead of exchanged on this thread.) Also, a lot of this info (except location) is mentioned on other non-gold IF threads.</p> <p>What do you think? I'm up for changing it to gold if that's what we want, but I am afraid it will drastically limit the number of people who see this thread. </p> <p>Oh, I noticed you changed your avatar!! I love it, although, I'll have to have some time to get used to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-pen-pals-if-edition-fall-2013#post-1070169 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:17:33 +0000 spaniellove 1070169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a thought - I noticed the other pen pal threads were gold. Can/should this thread be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hb-pen-pals-if-edition-fall-2013#post-1069991 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:19:39 +0000 BSB 1069991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinoff to NaturallyCathy and Sugarplummom thread.
