> [@Spiderman](#): > > I remember one holiday meal with a heated discussion amoung the cousins about what a woman’s initials should be after she gets married; whether the middle initials should be her middle name or her maiden name. One of those options gave my sister those same initials! :eek: Emily is my middle name, not my first name (but it’s the name I go by.) My first name starts with K, so my initials spell KEG. It could be worse. I had a friend whose initials spell “NAG.” We had a prime minister whose initials spelled PET. (It’s worse in French - in French, “pet” means “fart.”) ---

No wonder you’re such a party girl! 😃 I remember hearing about one study, that for people whose initials spelled out something, it was much better for self-esteem to have that be a positive than a negative (WOW vs. BUM, etc.) ---

He’s been, directly and indirectly, the cause of so, so much of my happiness these past 9 years.

Danged intermittent insomnia… _::grumble, grumble::_ Well, at least I got _some_ company at the moment - ::waves to **EmilyG** :: who is actually only about an hour and a half from my Far Northern VT fortress of grumbletude And don’t you \*dare \*call it “Mon-tree-all”, people! 😉 Evening, all. Jus’ tryin’ to get tired enough to fall asleep. Looked up some stuff about dishwashers for **Jynx** - thought that might get me tired, but nope. Actually some interesting stuff in there. Think I’ll have a nice hot bowl of soup and see if that helps a bit. Sometimes a warm, full belly brings on the drowzies, for me anyway. ---

Oh - almost forgot - As a bit of a _Very New Guy_, not sure if’n it’s OK to distribute hugs randomly, so I will just offer my sincerest best wishes to **$2.99** on upcoming changes. All we can do is roll with 'em, I guess. Best of luck to you. ---
