Okay, I think it’s seriously cool that I have a reader in Fiji. FIJI!
I don’t know WHY I think that’s any cooler than the fact that I have readers in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, France, Florida, California, Minnesota, Texas, or Norway, but I do think it’s nifty. Hey, why don’t I have any readers in South America?
Actually, I also think it’s cool that I have a reader in Saskatchewan. In fact, the reader in Saskatchewan got me thinking… She’s 760km from her nearest IVF clinic, so should IUIs not work for her and should she need a referral to the IVF clinic, can you imagine that commute? It makes me very grateful for the many advantages I have for living in a major metropolitan area, where I have at least five relatively major fertility clinics within a reasonable driving distance (some more convenient than others) and many other "minor" independent clinics. If I extended my radius to 760km… I’m not sure I could count that high. So, thank you, dear reader, for reminding me of my many blessings. And best of luck to you on your next cycle. I’m thinking of you and I hope you don’t mind me disclosing any of these details for all to read, however anonymously I did so.
I think I’d like to visit Fiji some day. I’d visit Australia if it weren’t for the giant spiders. *shiver* Does Fiji have giant spiders? If so, I can’t go there. Maybe New Zealand. I like sheep. Are there spiders in New Zealand? I would think not. Sheep are too warm and fuzzy to associate with spiders, don’t you think?
Come to think of it, I’m not much of a beach person, so why would I want to go to Fiji? Maybe New Zealand is better. Still, doesn’t Fiji sound relaxing? I think I need to relax.

I want to go to Fiji too!
Sorry, we do have spiders in New Zealand. But no snakes! And I think, only one spider that is poisonous and that is pretty rare.
Oh and lots of fluffy sheep. And Hobbits 🙂
ha!!! our spiders and snakes are pretty scary I guess but you know what, we don’t really think that much about them, do you know a yellow pages (telephone book, its huge!) throwm at a spider stops it dead in its tracks!! have not read for over a week and what a week you have had, hope things are settling down for you all

Field trip to Fiji! When do we leave 🙂
After all, if we just all go on vacation and relax we will get pregnant again right?
Yikes, I will NEVER complain about my 1 hour drive to the infertilty clinic again! Especially since I have one within walking distance of my office and CHOOSE NOT to go there! Yikes.
I’ll join the field trip. I almost went to Tahiti once and thought that would be pretty cool too. Unfortunately, the cruise line I was working for at the time went out of business 5 weeks before I was headed out. Sigh…
Yes yes, we do indeed need to investigate Fiji. My friend went there a few months ago, and it looked AMAZING.
Actually, you have two readers in Saskatchewan! Weird hmm? Altho I’m not the one doing IUI’s… Hopefully I won’t have to do a 760km commute either.
My Gosh, FIJI sonds AMAZING! I can imagine blue water and a drink. 🙂
Dear Karen,
The giant spiders are harmless.
It’s the crocs (and I’m not referring to foot wear), great white sharks and killer koalas that you have to worry about!
Cheers

We don’t actually have that many spiders in Australia. Well, not giant ones anyway 😛
Come to Australia!!!! It’s heaps cool! (not that I’m biased or anything :D)
Three SK readers!
And when you all go to Fiji, someone please just stuff me in a suitcase or something.
Fiji, not so great. Neither were the Cook Islands or Tahiti. Gorgeous, but kind of run down.
New Zealand, on the other hand….
(but yes, spiders there too)
Another Aussie (now in California) here vouching for the fact that the biggest spiders we have are very harmless, and no, not as big as a salad plate as some people would have you believe!
I’m more scared of American spiders than Aussie ones… but I try not to think about that :S
Hey I’m ot in Sask, but I am in Canada. (Which is a pretty large place 😉 )
