The problem is, I definitely have known someone D-a-n-a pronounced Donna!

I will never be happy with someone thinking Kony is an acceptable way of spelling my name.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, that is HER PROBLEM.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Interesting to hear others' stories. Mr. thumbs is sort of a third of his name (complicated), so he's not changing it. Hawaii won't let you add a married or middle name as part of the free change with marriage that wasn't somewhere in one of the spouses' previous names. You also can't go to no middle name if you had one before.

Our wings are not tired.
We have achieved asleep dog! I have Captain America playing for background noise so she has a variety of noise. But she is out.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Laura, those are fair points as long as the fireworks are limited to the specific day of celebration.
edit: I will allow an exception for putting municipal/official fireworks displays on a weekend when the holiday doesn't fall on the weekend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. I had no idea there were all those rules.
While I was pondering calling my mom to tell her I didn't really want to go hike and see fireworks like we had sort of planned, she called to tell me she didn't feel like it. So that worked out.

That's a lot of rules, Debet! Good luck figuring something out that works for you both.

Oy. The firework people are at it behind my house. I think they are too close and I am going to die. I also never liked fireworks because of the noise. I did always wonder how they did the fireworks of Seven thistles and a rose in Eight Cousins.
I think that all the n names I get called are people trying to slit my name into one they already know. No people of color really have that problem, which is interesting. Maybe Nadine is more popular in other cultures?
