Some time ago I advised Susan H to use her last initial- not dreaming it would be H.
Now, of course I know the "original" Susan - I mean my friend who has been posting a long time. And Susan H has become a familiar name. But the third Susan - it would really help if you had an additional identifier. I do hope you are not an H also.
I had trouble with my name at first. New to the net etc. I used B.C. Taylor which seemed kind of anonymous. When I felt more comfortable here I switched to Bennie. But that did not work because everybody thought I was a man. Some people got embarrassed when they realized they had sent a message to a woman which might have been more appropriate if directed to a man - nothing ugly, just slightly inappropriate, perhaps. So I went to Bennie Sue (my real name which I have never cared for). Now it seems obvious to me that it is a woman posting, but it is a lot to type so sometimes I use the alias "Original" Susan dubbed me in chat one night - Bensue. It is short and sweet and distinctive, and no one else here is called that.
I hope nobody is awake with pain at this ungodly hour. Love to you all, Susans and everybody else.
I feel good - I am just a night owl and a foolish 60-year old who doesn't sleep even when she can.
