Happy Mother's Day!!

Sunday May 13, 2012 at 6:36 AM

No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star. ~Edwin Hubbell Chapin

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

If the whole world were put into one scale, and my mother in the other, the whole world would kick the beam. ~Lord Langdale (Henry Bickersteth)

Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together. ~Pearl S. Buck

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy. ~Spanish Proverb

She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn't take them along. ~Margaret Culkin Banning
 

Come in here and share your mom moments...

If you're a mom, which mom are you? the strict one? the friend one? the one who kids take for granted? all of the above? none of the above?

tell me your best mom moment....or the worst...anything!

Let's talk...

A Different PROM

Saturday May 12, 2012 at 6:04 PM

I did this campfire last year when my daughter had her Junior Prom, and it was a lot of fun. Now here we are on Senior Prom night and I'm all for recycling. I didn't get to go to either of my proms when I was in high school. Let me live vicariously through my baby girl and you- come share your funny prom stories, tell us what your prom theme was (my daughter's this year is Casino Royale...hmmm, wonder if the prom committee had watched Twilight recently), what was your song, and most importantly- POST PICS!!!! I want to see our campers decked out in their formal finest. Here's my gorgeous girl :-)

I've rec'd this here before,but I feel like with Mother's Day coming up, I need to rec it again.  If there are any mothers out there who are feeling overwhelmed with their roles - you know, the endless number of hats that we wear on a daily basis, I URGE you to read this fic.  I don't think I've ever related to a character in this Fandom the way that I relate to JenEsme's Bella.  I relate to her so much that it hurts.  Thankfully, the beautifully portrayed Esme has some wise advice to offer.  ;)

An excerpt from last chapter (that any stay at home mother can probably identify with):

"Right. Great." I over-pronounced my Ts. "That's the image you want to convey? The hot shot young doctor with the bimbo trophy wife? Thanks," I spat. As if it weren't bad enough already in these professional situations when people ask what I do. There are three typical reactions to a stay at home mom: 1. The conversation grinds to a halt because nothing I have to say can possibly hold any value to the person I'm talking to. 2. The person I'm speaking to instantly dumbs down the conversation and starts talking to me like a child. Or 3. On rare occasions, the person I'm speaking to will understand the value and temporary nature of child rearing and carry on their conversation with me as the intelligent adult that I am. Of course, I need to have something intelligent to say if option three is going to happen, which Edward was withholding from me tonight.

 

Give this fic a try!  You seriously won't be disappointed.

Need mommy advice and love

Saturday May 12, 2012 at 8:44 AM

So I have been gone from fandom stuff for about 5 months now. What prompted this....I GOT PREGNANT FINALLY! This was a huge blessing because it came around a difficult time for my hubs who had had surgery. I decided to refocus my life on my first love...GOD. I honestly felt extra stuff was blocking my relationship I have had with my faith for over 16 years. So I jumped ship....and my refocus really gave me some perspective about what is important. I slowly started reading again, some actual books too! Shocking, hahaha.

 

Anyway last week we had a very big bump in our baby bump. Our baby's songogram was great but the doctor called and said they found two cysts on the babys brain. You can imagine how rocked we were. I jumped headlong into research and my Bible. My doctor said it happens and most resolve and we will rescan in a few weeks. It does not help matters that I have hormone induced anxiety dissorder with all previous pregnancies and deliveries. But I am really trying to just pray my heart out, surround myself in God, and trust. BUT the faliable me can not escape this worry and fear.

 

So I thought of all you here....everyone is so kind and great and gives great advice. I thought out of all the users maybe one of you might have some experiences to share. 

*is it still free for all weekends, if not rangers please feel free to delete.

 

*i decided to post this because we have told only those closest to us...felt better to do as anon. I have learned some people thrive off possible bad news gossip...plus so many of you are really great kind women here.

Can we talk Politics?

Saturday May 12, 2012 at 7:24 AM

I live in the US and I don't get to hear much about what is going on around the world. Can you tell me how your country is doing?

 

Do you live in Brazil? Tell me about it. France just had elections, how was it? How is lovely Greece doing? Is it as bad as they say? Will Greece be the first country to pull out of the Euro? Dominican Republic is having elections on May 20. Are you there to tell me about it? How about Britain? I heard something about Austerity measures. Are you in Portugal, Germany, Russia, Puerto Rico?

Please keep it civil. I know nothing about party affiliations, I just rather hear from a local (you) then from a (perhaps) biased US reporter.

Take it away.

Turning 21!

Friday May 11, 2012 at 8:30 PM

Hello Campers!

 

This is my first CF so im a little excited / nervous 

 

So I turned 21 this week which I was kind of excited for and dreading.

because this means i'm a full on adult now which scares me a litte since I dont really feel like i'm a grown up yet.

dose that even make sense? 

So what I want to know is what you did for your 21st and what was your first drink? Any Suggstions for my first drink?

 

I was kind of a good girl in high school so I never drank and when I started college I never drank either I went to a fashion college so there wasnt really any raging keggers lol.

Oh Say Can You See...

Friday May 11, 2012 at 7:42 PM

You know how sometimes a fic that you love just fizzles out after 10 or 15 chapters?  Great plot, great characters, then suddenly it's boring, or the story takes an unrealistic turn and becomes unreadable?  Since my reading time is limited, I delete stories such as this from my FF Alerts.  But I have to admit that I feel a twinge of guilt, hoping that the author doesn't know that I've dropped them.

So here's my question, I know that authors can see alerts that have been added (can you see the name, too?), but can they also see who has dropped them?!

Does anyone else make these cuts and feel twinge?

What has been seen cannot be unseen

Friday May 11, 2012 at 7:01 PM

So I'm sure we've all seen plenty of those highly amusing Twilight tattoo photos, but I just saw one I've never seen before, and I'm pretty sure it's the best of them all:

Photobucket

I have no words to describe my appalled fascination when I came across this. I've been trying to figure out who that guy in the front is supposed to be, because it sure ain't Edward Cullen. The closest I can come up with is if Steve Buscemi and a reptilian had a child, and that child grew up to play James Dean in a movie.

How about a campfire of hilarious and horrifying fan art and fan tattoos? Or really, anything that made you immediately wish for some brain bleach to get the image out of your head.

I should stop watching TV...

Friday May 11, 2012 at 6:01 PM

So, I just found out on Twitter today that The Secret Circle has been officially canceled, and there's now a campaign that I'm admittedly a part of going on to try and bring it back. If it worked for Community, then why can't it work for TSC? Honestly, I'd be fine if another network picked it up because TSC was just getting freaking bad***.

Anyway, while finding out about the unfortunate fate of one my favorite shows that I was more obsessed with than it's lead-in, TVD, I decided to find out what other shows met the same end.

Here's the article on Yahoo.

Just to name a few...

Shows that have been canceled:

Awake
Ringer
The Secret Circle
Alcatraz
The Finder
Harry's Law

Now, to make this interactive: did you watch any of these? Are there any shows you wish would get canceled? **coughcough**JerseyShore**coughcough** Any shows that have been gone a long time that you wish would come back?

Alcatraz isn't that big of a surprise, tbh, but I'm shocked that NBC would cancel "Awake," then again, a show that good never really makes it. I was only 2-3 episodes in (because I forget to watch and play catch-up on demand), but I was already hooked. It's not the first time NBC has canceled a show that I was absolutely in love with (even if it was because of the lead actor). I still haven't forgiven NBC for nixing Trauma.

But, anyway. I don't know. I should just stop watching TV, especially if it's a brand new show, because it almost always never ends well for the viewers.

Edit: I just found out that Make It or Break It has been canceled (or on the verge of it, anyway), too. If they end the show after this season, I can pretty much accept that because there's not a whole lot you can do after the Olympics... but if it's canceled because of ratings, then... well. I'll be a form of mad that can't be expressed on the front page. ;)

This twilightering has posted a lot of fics today and I do not think any of them belong to her/him. Check out the others and let us know if you recognize them. And report away.

And if you haven't read either of the two fics mentioned, you should do so. They kick total butt.

 

Edit: The lovely Kambria has looked up the others and found their originals. It's the first post in this Campfire.

Edit x 2: Don't review...just report.
