Here's another round on answering Kritta's questions from THIS post where she ambushed my comment box. If you missed the first installment--here it is... if you have never been ambushed by Kritta in your comments... you are DEFINITELY missing out! :)Here are the ones I'm tackling today. Very IMPORTANT questions and I'm glad she brought them up. :)Kritta writes:What about baby bumps??
If you have a feeling that someone is prego, can you ask?
Sure you can ask. As long as you want that person to fall into a deep depression and run from you to cry their eyes out--resulting in cutting their wrists and sticking them in salt water.
Honestly... I don't know if there is anything worse then someone asking you how far along you are when you are NOT pregnant.
So I veer to the side of caution and just don't ask. There is a girl I know... she looks constantly three months pregnant, maybe four. She carries all her weight RIGHT there in the middle. When I first met her I thought she WAS pregnant, but I never asked. 2 years later she still looks the same.
And YES... it's happened to me. When my little girl was 7 months old I had someone ask me how far along I was. After I poked her eyes out and dropped kicked her... I told her I was just "FAT". It did push me towards exercising and losing that belly (well it's always an ongoing process for me)... so in the long run it was actually a GOOD thing. BUT...
You can always try and get them to TELL you one way or another. Like start talking about how you want to be pregnant and then ask them if they want anymore kids or if they are TRYING to have kids... then when they say, 'actually I'm __ months pregnant' then you can say, 'REALLY! You look great!'.
Everyone wins!

How do you get over having a really awesome post and NO one comments on it??
do you repost it in like six months?
Do you just let it go?

K that always sucks. You feel like you have written this amazing, funny, great post... and then you post it and patiently (when I say patiently I mean run to the computer every two minutes to see if there is a new comment) wait for comments.
Then if you are like me... it kind of depresses you when NO ONE reads it. Which is SO totally sad in its own right. Well that was when I first started blogging anyway... now I don't worry to much about it... and I'm sticking to that story!
I would say wait and repost it. Especially if you have new people following you! 6 months would be the least amount of time... in MY humble opinion. :)
So any advice for Kritta and others that want to know these deep thought out questions??? lol!
