we need to make more waves...
There's a campaign going on...and I stole this information from another blog:
A phone number to call and complain (1-800-Teleflora - 1-800-225-7435) and this information if you want to write a complaint-AFM TV LLC
11444 W. Olympic Blvd., 10th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90064
Attn: Chief Legal Officer
Fax: (310) 966-5758
People are emailing the Today Show - Today@NBCUNI.com and some are even emailing Donnie and Marie to send complaints. Someone called this number 212-664-4249 and got a live person to complain to (whom she said agreed with her).
Personally, I will be emailing the Today Show. I'd like to see them do a positive adoption story to make up for all of this.
Thank You VERY much for this information. I have also emailed the Today Show. This is so WRONG on so many levels.

Wow! SO much going on that it took me awhile to catch up. Here's some thoughts.
1. Yes, people are aholes. Nothing new there, but still sorry you had to deal with it.
2. Yes, the Today Show people are BIG aholes. Email has been sent.
3. Woohoo! For some potty in a potty.
4. You made me laugh. I missed reading your posts.
5. Looking back on this list, it seems like I have some sick fascination with anuses and poo. Guess you bring out the best in me! haha.

Okay I sent my note - explaining my dissatisfaction with their non-mom category. Maybe I should have nominated my father in the non-mom category. My father raised me. He didn't get child support for the 3 children he raised, he could have dumped us in at my grandparents but he chose to raise us on his own. There have been years in the past that I gave him Mother's day cards. NBC and Teleflora should have never made categories.
May NBC and Teleflora publically apologize for their stupidity.

Holy smokes Gorgeous! I've been packing for the "GREAT MOVE" and I haven't had a chance to read your blog and all of this!!!
First of all YAHOO! for the little czar's love of m&m's! A bribe I can truly appreciate (he has such great taste that boy of yours)! Congratulations on getting to the PEE PEE AND POOPY POTTY MILESTONE! NO MORE DIAPERS!
Secondly THANK YOU for the phone number above I will be calling these IDIOTS.. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WHOLE NON-MOM CATAGORY CRAP! Are these people STUPID?? I've seen plenty of trophy wives in this town where the nannies are a better definition of mother than them. And I guess I don't qualify I had Ava through IVF!

Hey Gorgeous I was just thinking how unfair this really is...At one point in time we were thinking of using a donor egg (since all my eggs are POWDER!) so if we had AND had not kept that little fact private which catagory I wonder would I had belong in????
It BOOGLES my MIND and HEART!

Thanks to you, Susan and Wendi for informing me of this craziness. As I wrote to Susan, I'll now be having my morning coffee with Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts as I am "leaving" The Friggen Today Show. Happy Mothers Day to you... your son is beautiful.
Best, Anonnie
