I've got to recognize it as the question asked by "paint by the numbers" and/or the Mrs. & Mrs. His First and Last Name folks :-).<BR/><BR/>I usually find myself at a loss when a female friend/acquaintance gets married and chooses to change her name. I really don't quite know how to respond. I feel like exclaiming -- don't you know you'll be lost to history? That your relatives will have all kinds of difficulty doing their geneaologies? That other cultures manage people keeping their names with no trouble? Mostly it's just a shock to be reminded how on the fringe I really am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9848115.post-1135961595845780142005-12-30T10:53:00.000-06:002005-12-30T10:53:00.000-06:00b*, I'm so jealous!

I've been stealing Mr. Jane's book just so I can get my fix. :)<BR/><BR/>JP, I consider the "why aren't you seeing anyone" a corollary to the "why don't you have kids" question. It's just as ugly, I agree! (and my single sibs did get that question from the same people who pushed the kids question on me. Leave us alone, people!)<BR/><BR/>PG, I can't believe your mom said that!! ugh!!! (And by the way, I read your post on the kids thing, and thought it was very well said. Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the issue in the future.)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082496114155799356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9848115.post-1135866560208352332005-12-29T08:29:00.000-06:002005-12-29T08:29:00.000-06:00At least you know you're in good company with many...At least you know you're in good company with many of these things. <BR/><BR/>Although I avoided the hols, my mother suggested I get ex to impregnate me on my trip. Nice.<BR/><BR/>And in the 24 hours I've been home I've been ingesting as many fresh, undrowned veggies as I can.<BR/><BR/>I like your memorable bits -- all quite nice.~profgrrrrl~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15280731948424317624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9848115.post-1135828053651385412005-12-28T21:47:00.000-06:002005-12-28T21:47:00.000-06:00I am a girl, and I got a Sudoku book. :)I am a girl, and I got a Sudoku book. :)BrightStar (B*)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11167685794935402108noreply@blogger.com
