Thanks for letting us know that. It wil keep me from being horribly depressed that I haven't received a touch since May 22.

Oh and by the way, just curious? how close was the VJ adjucated estimate date compared to what was the final outcome?

I am really so happy for you!

Annette

The notice is dated for the 26th. VJs timeline estimate from stats predicted the 25th up until the 26th then changed to the 28th. So at least for our case it statistically had an accuracy of + or - 2 days.

Hahahaha!

This may sound bad but I WANNA BE TOUCHED! Hahahaha!

Hahahahaha! Me too! Late last night I was sitting around, bored, sad, and depressed wishing we would get a touch then after awhile I started writing down songs that had to do with "touching" or "

being touched". To pass the time... *blush* I was bored and sad, ok! *more blushing*

What did I come up with?

Let's see, I am an 80's gal so pardon the oldies.

Like a Virgin - TOUCHED for the very first time, (Madonna) hahahahaha

Touch Me - Samantha Fox (hahahahaha)

never mind...hahahaha

Hopefully we ALL start getting touched here soon. Well all need loving. Hahaha!

I don't know why it annoys me so, because the time lines DO fluctuate wildly it seems... but when I signed on this morning and saw my estimated date is now in SEPTEMBER, I was UNHAPPY. I have been anticipating that little twinge of happiness that was bound to come when I flipped my calendar over to August in two more days thinking that August was OUR month.

Oh well. Maybe in two more days it will jump back to August again. (sigh) :unsure:
