Barb that`s ridiculous. And it`s not like that name just belongs to one person. Plus, it`s YOUR NAME!
UPS/USPS causes me problems. I need to be able to specify which one, because obviously only USPS can go to my post office box, but also only UPS/Fedex can go to my street address. I`m so rural that the post office won`t deliver to me. And I`m paranoid enough that I quit fighting for it at some point, figuring that`s one less database I`ll be in. Google maps knows where I am, though.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm getting the pig!
Well, yes, because there's never been a single author out there that shared a first name with another author. WTF?
Aimee, I hope your co-leader accepted your apology.
Yay for Drew being home, where he belongs. Now heal, damn it.

It has to do with the first name of my pen name. And the fact that my new website features it prominently. And there's another writer with the same first name who has taken umbrage. And is tossing around words like trademark and infringement and the like because she's an attorney and thinks that's gonna scare me.
Hasn't she tried to fuck with you before?
Ass her in the ear.

Hasn't she tried to fuck with you before?
Yes she has.
Ass her in the ear.
I was entertaining visions of rusty chainsaws, sans lube, in unmentionable places.
Sideways.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
No shit, Barb. Fuck that noise. It's a name -- your LEGAL name.
What a bitch.
Google-fu! Found her! Take her single-rose posin' ass DOWN.

Um, this. Exactly. WTF, lady? Also, it's not like you haven't ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED UNDER THAT NAME. You ...can't... cease and desist using it. Duh.

She's apparently quite offended by my promotional efforts. And my good reviews. Or something.
I just... you know, when it comes down to it, I simply do not get this sort of maliciousness. I can be a mean bitch, admittedly, but I don't ever set out with the intent to hurt anyone or damage them.
I literally have NEVER done anything to this woman, ever, that would warrant this sort of unprovoked attack.
I am NOT pleased.

But I really wonder what one will do with a bunch of keychains that also work for supermarket carts (I don't do the shopping here - and when I shop, I mostly try to avoid the chains. And when I do, I go with a bag of my own), hideous napkins from the 80's, various brochures, some knock-offs jewelry on every condition but "intact" which I wouldn't like anyway and a whole lot of knick knacks.
that's the beauty of freecycle. I don't know what people do with the shit I don't care about, but you never know what people can use.

no, she won't actually complain about her decision because that would be admitting that she was wrong. She will complain about the result, though.
And there's another writer with the same first name who has taken umbrage.
oh, I remember that crazy bitch.
