"Are you still having bleeding?" He asks. I nod my head...my throat
is, once again, too tight to speak. I feel like an idiot. It's
medicine. Science. There's no room for emotion in science.
"Better or worse than yesterday?"
"Worse," I whisper, desperately looking to the ceiling, praying that
the tears won't spill over. Why do I care now? Why with a doctor, who
deals with this, and worse, on a daily basis. I guess hormones and
emotion know no logic.

Element Eatry in Antioch, Illinois
I guess Oprah likes the Element Eatry in Antioch, Illinois since they are using her nam in News-Sun Newspaper today! Would have called Oprah on this issue to report but could not find a phone number to call!
BlogHer 2008: Accessibility of Westin St. Francis
For over a year now, I have been traveling and going to professional conferences as a person with a disability, a wheelchair and crutches user. Abilities and disabilities vary wildly. My own issues are most often bathrooms, distances, exhaustion, and stairs. I am less aware of issues and solutions for people with visual impairments and for the deaf or hearing impaired community; I apologize for not addressing those issues here.
If you have mobility issues and wonder about the accessible geography of the conference, I have a ton of information!
A Letter to my Body
Dear body,
I know it’s not your fault, what happened this weekend. Not entirely, anyway. But still. It’s hard for me. It’s hard not to be angry with you. It’s hard not to feel betrayed. It’s hard not to rage against you for getting rid of what I so desperately wanted.
Calling All Artists: Let's Talk about Swap Meet Magic for BlogHer '08
Maybe you were there the summer of 2006 in San Jose, chatting up t-shirts with Mrs. Kennedy, trying on SuperHero necklaces with Andrea, wondering where you could get the oh-so-brand new design from Baby Brewing.
Well, I was there, sisters, and I want that Swap Meet back. How about you?

So, what is BlogHer '08 all about...?
BlogHer's annual conference is like no other -- it is the thrilling diversity of the blogosphere come to life!
Featuring technical labs, educational workshops, intense discussion sessions, relevant sponsors, speakers from every corner of the blogosphere, established and new, and plenty of opportunities to network and socialize.
This year we'll even be offering a pre-conference mixer for BlogHer first-timers, so no one will walk in on Day One without knowing someone!
Appropriate for anyone and everyone who's interested in any kind of blogging, from the personal to the professional to the political.
Days one and two will feature a more traditional conference setting, while day three will be dedicated once again to a full-day Unconference.
As BlogHers, you're commanding an ever-growing online presence, but what is the true extent of your reach (and your message)? Is your reach something you need better defined, or something you're looking to expand exponentially? If you believed that your blog could do anything, what would you reach for?
No matter what your personal or collective goals are, the BlogHer event provides the kinds of tools, information, and inspiration you need to help you Reach! them.
We're taking this show on the road! For the first time ever, BlogHer is launching a two-week tour, bringing all the highlights of the annual event to six different cities. These one-day conferences will feature a broad range of topics and speakers, cocktail parties for networking and socializing, and a little bit of local flavor. We'll be focusing on topics that seem to resonate strongest in each city, and looking for your local bloggers to lead the discussions.
Exact locations TBD, but the tour is planned for October, 2008 with stops in Boston, Washington DC, Greensboro, Nashville, Atlanta, and New Orleans.
