I was thanked for my signature!

[loving-my-babies]

Some here at MDC PM'd me and thanked me for my signature (if you're reading this, I won't say your name and I hope you don't mind me telling everyone here at the anti-circ board) Anyway, I always try to put stuff in my signature that might help, and I was hoping my links would get people's attention, well, I really never thought someone would read it, much less thank me for the links!!!

I feel happy! I feel I could have done something good for a baby!!!

[mommymarliah]

good for you! the truth needs to be seen! I was all for circing as a child because my brother was circed, then I went to nursing school and saw one done, watched a perfect little penis be mutilated and said there is NO WAY I will ever do that to my children, when I found out we were expecting our first son I told my DH he would not be cut, there was no discussion to be had. I showed DH the information and he was very upset that he had been mutilated like that himself.....I think if people just knew the truth of what circumcision is that they would not put their precious child through it.

anyway I go long winded there, you go girl!

[loving-my-babies]

you are so right. the people I know that have circ'ed have never even seen one, I wonder HOW can someone not know what's happening to your child, and shut off their mother's instinct to hand over their child to be put in pure agony.

and they are even funny about it.. they say "when the nurse brought him back she said he didn't make a peep"

YEAH, OK...

LMB,

I think it is a great signature and I was thinking of doing something similar.

I realized that some MDC mammas have circ, which kind of suprised me. I guess they stick to one forum and never venture out???

Well, I try to surf around and post in other places.

I hope you don't mind??

[Frankly Speaking]

The great thing about the siggie lines is that they follow you like foot prints. Everywhere you go, they go and they leave an indelible impression on all who see them. Your signature line alone may not be enough to sway the thinking of anyone but will prep them for the next time they see something about circumcision and may even prompt them to visit here for the real deal.

I think siggie lines are the best thing you can do for the least amount of effort.

Please don't ever change your signature. Thank you so much for the incredible service you are doing in the world. Who knows how many babies you have saved .

[loving-my-babies]

WOW, thanks so much, I vow to never change my signature

[loving-my-babies]

oh and speaking of that.. why don't you guys copy my sig and make it yours? it can't hurt to spread the word even more around MDC.. imagine all the baby boys YOU could save...

[Evergreen]

i was thinking about asking you if it would be OK

but I don'[t know how to paste links and make them look like words

[loving-my-babies]

I can teach you how email me and I'll email you the instructions back... (email me through my personal profile page)

[AllyRae]

That is a good siggy! I'm glad that the message is getting out! Way to go!

LMB, your sig caught my eye at the thread about the mom leaving her dc inside while she smoked and, cautiously, I clicked on the links. I ffel sickened. I just want to cry. I literally have tears in my eyes and I am so scared to have another boy. Most of all, I feel incredible anger and guilt with myself for circing ds. When I saw that baby strapped down, all I could picture was MY baby, over 2 years ago, being strapped down. Why did I let people do that to my precious son?

I am so afraid, we are TTC next month and if we have another son, dh will want to circ. I told him that I thought it was cruel and to think of how much it must hurt. Dh said that he didn't remember it and that neither would Austin, and that being uncirced would make the next ds(ses) uncomfortable later in life. Dh and ds are napping now, but later tonight after ds goes down, I am going to make dh look at the links. Seeing that baby screaming with all his might, has GOT to be enough to change his mind. Right? :

[Nemmer]

What a wonderful siggie LMB!! I love it!

Bex80 Have him look at the links, give him articles to read. We circ'd our first, and will never do that again. At first, even though DH began to feel it wasn't right, he was sure we'd do it again "so they wouldn't be different." After reading him a few articles and talking to him about exactly what is lost, he sees how silly a reason that really is, and is right there with me spreading the word to family and friends. Good luck to you.

[apmommy76]

YOU ROCK!!!! Maybe we can join forces!

I don't know what area of the country you're in, but I started a local group in Orlando. We're working hard to get the word out to expectant mommies and I'd love to brainstorm a bit with you!!!

[CrunchyMamaToBe]

And that's all I have to say about that.

Cool... I think I will...

BTW, my "circ'd & regret it" is my sig line where ever I have posted in the last 3+ years (like Babycenter.) But it would be nice to add more info other than the Fleiss article. It's been cool b/c it led to a discussion on BC in the past... always a good thing.

[iamama]

I could of been the one to pm you...but I wasn't. Those links in your sig were the first time I ever looked at any anti circ info also. Which led me to bring info to my friends having a boy. Which hopefully will save this little guy from a circ and I am 150% sure I would never circ. I told my husband over my cold dead body would anyone cut my baby's penis...

[milk_maker]

I wanted to thank you too. I looked at a website linked from your link and it showed common problems in circumcised men. **Hope this isn't TMI** I've been telling DH that it is NOT NORMAL to have a hairy penis. I can't wait for him to get back into town so I can show him that. Of course, he'll probably just say it's biased information but I've got to change his mind somehow.
