That’s right. Thanks to TubaDiva I’m not as spaced out as I once was. No big change, and I’m still the same person. I might add that I’m still fat and I’m still bald. I’m also still a guy. It just makes it easier to do searches now, since the search engine doesn’t like 3 letter words . Move along now. Nothing to see here. FBG ---

Actually, I gave them to my neighbor, so that we could go on _Trading Spaces_. ---

I have the same search problem, egg is too short, and good is too common. I can never find any of my old posts. ---

You look like you’ve really slimmed down, there… 😉 ---

Reminds me of a studly guy nicknamed "big-Al’ who signed up as “bigal” with a chat room. Imagine his surprise when he started getting all kinds of responses - from other guys, looking to hook up with the “Bi-Gal”. Sometimes spacing between words is kinda important. In your case, however, the change certainly does make you look younger and slimmer. ---

> [@](#): > > They only allow one name change. huh, really? I never knew that (well I’ve never changed my name). I thought the policy was “Don’t request a name change every week, or even every month, or just do it extremely rarely if at all.” or something like that, not specifically “just once”.
