my desk=disaster area and I can;t seenm to figure out where to start. WAH!!

Leave everything exactly as it is. If you move stuff around you'll mess up the archaeological filing method. (Where the deeper you dig into the piles, the older the stuff becomes.)

I went to college with a woman named Spring Starr Pillow. She was a theatre major, so I want to believe it was a stage name. (She lives in Cincinnati now, and is the director of a children's theatre, and is known as a "local night club diva," and still goes by that name, so maybe it's her birth name. Who knows?)

That's what YOU say!!!

The world generalizes to MY experience, so yes.

do you pronounce the name LEE-roy or Luh-ROY?

Depends on if the "r" is capitalized, Leroy or LeRoy.

At least, that's how I go.

(Leroy=LEE-roy, LeRoy=Luh-ROY)

I default to LEE-roy.

ok - ordered lunch - good.

1st thing to tackle on desk - stack of invitations that need to be labeled and mailed.

I knew a "Pebble" in college.

Did she have a brother named "Bam"?

LEE-roy.

Guys who said, "Yeah, I was just talkin' to Skeeter last week," had known him since high school,

My dad is Skip to his family, so you can always tell if it's one of them calling.

I think Rob Morrow's wife also has a pun name -- Debbon Ayer or something like that -- so it's a family thing. But still, Deb or Debbie are at least passable nicknames, whereas there's really nowhere to go from Tu.

I went to elementary school with a female Mikel, and I don't remember her being teased about her name. But she was rich, pretty and athletic; I'm not sure how kids would have reacted to it if she'd been poor, homely and a klutz.

And welcome to the world to Isaac, with congrats to Burrell, Mr. Burrell and Franny.

So did I, but she was MIH-kel, not pronounced like Michael.
