I like the name and I know that's what matters so I may just have to get butch and stick with it regardless lol.

Also, I want to say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! to all the mothers out there.

Dude, I have several names. Legally, my birth name, Joan. Lots of people call me Jo. I wanted a more Butch name than my given name, yet still ummm ...female name. Others call me JJ and Joan and my family calls me Joanie.

Maybe it is an age thing, but really what is in a name? In my opinion, the only time it really matters is in legal papers. My dad found that out at some point because his birth certificate had not been changed from "Baby XXXX" His parents hadn't decided on a name!

You can be called whatever you want. Just tell people that you prefer to be called..whatever you want, then at some point you want to change it legally, do it, but remember it can be a tedious process so make sure you don't have to do it again because you might not really like it anymore.

One of my mom's favorite things is triumph in silence. Sometimes just walking away is a statement in itself.

Then there is the other hand....Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has got one. Unfortunately, your sister-in-law has more than her share
:blink:

Hey Morningstar... haven't been on since last week so I didn't see your post. Some people will just never see the truth. Nor do they want to. If it were me, next time she brings it up, I would tell her the subject is off limits... if she insisted, I would leave the room. That's just me. I applaud your defense of him, but as you have done so, she knows how you feel, and she still is annoying about... then this is more about annoying you and than about her prejudice against people who are different than herself. Just my opinion, but for me, I would change the subject or walk out of the room.

Hope your laptop gets fixed!!! That must suck!

hugs,
Ruthie :wine:

Morning lofters, turned 50 in march and because of time constraints, finally had my party yesterday. I had a 60's theme (although few dressed the part). People were lovely, had a wonderful time, except I had a small migraine most of the day. After folks left, it got worse and I ended up at the er. Mom took me and we didn't get home until 4:30 am. Birds were singing. oye.

Beautiful weather today... going to hang out and relax.

Have a wonderful sunday!
Ruthie

ok Star...

I havent been in here for a long time..Had a little un-wanted stress for a few months..I will make myself visiable and tell you the perfect thing to say to your sister-in-law..This will make her speachless or get her to studder..

Let her come to you do not approach her..
When she ask you those questions again look her right in the eye and say -Are you asking for yourself or for a friend.??.-Look her in the eye and dont blink..Let her walk away from you and do not walk away from her..
If she still wants to pursue the subject say -cause i can hook ya up.- Keep looking in her eyes and do not walk away from her..Stay on her about hooking her up and tell her you can see couriousity in her eyes..

Try that and let me know how it goes..I have said it a few times to guys at work and it is very entertaining to watch them squirm and studder..
good luck..

Same thing..
Ask your sister-in-law if she wants to take your x driver shopping.?.
Say she has tuesdays off and can probly be ready around 11-11:30 and she will probly buy you lunch..Just throw it back at her..Tell her your x driver might need some new under clothes to..That might get her shopping for boxers or tightey whites for a butch woman..

good luck

Well, surgery is scheduled for June 13 on my elbow and then we will see about my wrist. Will be out of work at least 2 weeks...work has suggested disability and to stay out 3 or 4 weeks. Not sure if I can afford it. Worried it might be contested because it was a work injury. We shall see. sigh
