Hi, I’m the Mermaid, formerly mojo57. As I said before, a lot of people couldn’t figure out if a mojo was a male or a female or both. I also know a lot of people couldn’t care less. That’s OK too. ---

Of course we care!! And I for one don’t think Mojo is a gender thing at all. But alas now you’ve lost that ambiguity… Welcome (back)! ---

Hi, The Mermaid! I like your new name, but then I liked you when you were mojo57, too. The nice thing about being here is that you get accepted, or not accepted, for what kind of person you are~ instead of how big your~er~well, never mind that. You are a nice and funny person, no matter what you call yourself. Enjoy! Scotti ---

S’okay, darlin’, I don’t usually read 'em either. And you’re a honey, too. However, so is The Mermaid, and we should really allow this thread to get back to telling her how much we like her, even those of us who didn’t know she was a she. So come on people! Tell her we love her! ---

I must admit that I tend to see **Mojo** as a male name–no good reason for it, really, just one of my preconceptions. But I personally like **The Mermaid** better. So welcome back under the new name. 🙂 ---

Sweetie~ There is **nothing** pathetic about you. NO WAY, NO HOW. Please don’t be taking our fooling around that way, because it was meant in fun, and dpr and I are~(well, we both have this weird sense of humor, which may not be shared by you. Sorry, if so.) Personally, I have always enjoyed your posts, and I think you are a good and funny person. Sorry if we made you feel pathetic, 'cuz that is **SO NOT TRUE!** [sub]although it occurs to me that YOU were just kidding,and now I look like a dork. sobeit.[/sub] Scotti ---

I associate “mojo” with two things: Austin Powers and the Home Run ball. So naturally I’m going to think a poster named mojo is male. But I doubt any male would have the AIM SN cindismojo:D ---

I can’t believe that anyone who has, and didn’t hate it, can’t associate “mojo” with “Mojo potatoes”, which are just great! Welcome (back) to The Mermaid. Different name, same high quality poster!
