Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | Dear All,
When I discovered this site, I didn't know how to particpate in such a forum, so I signed in as "August," since most people seemed to have some sort of clever moniker. Now that I feel that I have made friends here, I am not comfortable not using my own name, which is Colleen. I'll keep "August" as my sign-in name, since it is part of my history here, but it isn't my name. It's my birthday month.

Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | Stoj......that's funny.....a guy. I wonder what led you to think that. I'll have to think about that and find out why I sent you "guy vibes." I'll need to adjust my wave frequency! I guess I need to speak in a more girly manner. OK? LOL! FYI..tee hee.......what else do girls say? Maybe that's my problem......I just don't know how to be girly!! (I do tap dance, though, wearing fishnet hose and false eyelashes! My kids.....four grown boys.....get a kick out or that!)

Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 493 | As I remove my foot from my mouth, let me try to explain...I just thought August was a guy's name.
Mark we all know that you are the ladies man around here. And by the way maybe I thought MD was for Mad Dog (20/20) or is it Mogen David and that you liked wine.
Collen,
You got me cracking up here, GIRL

Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,676 | Hey, Colleen- I really like your name too- and my personal confession is that I wasn't sure whether you were male or female!! There were several times when I wanted to ask you a question that was gender related and I didn't.
This reminds me of the first several times I posted here. {OCF is my 1st and only experience in "chatting" on the net.} I didn't know not to use our real names, I disclosed my password once in a post AND got several e-mails from people telling me not to do that-boy was I uninformed about the net, and way to trusting. Still am, for that matter. I am probably too old and "too Southern" for this. I was raised to believe that your word is you bond and strangers are just friends waiting to happen . So, I am glad to meet you, Colleen. Amy in the Ozarks

Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | Amy----we have to talk more about our beloved Ozarks. Having grown up in Memphis, the Ozarks in Arkansas were our stomping grounds, as we've discussed before. I didn't know what to do about names either, but as we've all become such close friends and share such personal information, it just seemed like it was time to "be myself." I, too, am too "Southern" to worry about all of the things we are told to worry about. Life is a little simpler down here in bayou country, though we are quickly outgrowing our small-town virtues.
PS--Crawfish season is just beginning. YUM!!Come visit!

Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 248 | Tim, we all know that MD is my initials for my name although at times I do make pretend that it stands for Medical Doctor.Glad you have been receiving good news as of late. Colleen I never doubted for a minute your gender. Hi Amy, hope your energy and spirit get a boost soon, with all you have going on.
Always,
