There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.
My name is not …

Well my neighbor came to the party with a card addressed to "Jill" so I laughed and told her "Cynthia, I got to tell you, my name is Jenn not Jill" She was slighlty embarassed and said that she and her husband were back and forth on it for a while. Her daughter always called me that so she thought it was correct! We had a good laugh about it and she stayed till the end of the night hanging out, I really had a great time with her!
Thank you all for the congrats, I have worked hard and need to keep working hard so that I can finish up these last ten classes for my BA in Sociology and a minor in Criminal Justice. Don't ask me what I am going to do with it because I have no clue! I am actually a Navy supply logistics person by trade but want to change my career. Social work seems to interest me but the pay is so low, I don't want to carry a gun so there goes law enforcement (plus I am too old for a lot of programs).

Thats great that you got your issue resolved
Another funny name story…
Like I said, I am a teacher, and two years ago I had a student named Phui Pheng. Pronounced Poo Ping. Well, you can imagine how that went over in middle school, the poor guy was called "pooping" all year long! And it was hard because we couldn't really correct anyone because thats really how you say it, you just put the emphaisis on the Ping, rather than the Poo. I felt horrible for him, what a thing to have to live with! -
My real name is Elena, but sometimes I go by Ellie. I am a dental hygienist, so I am always introducing myself to people. I'll say "My name is Ellie" and the people always seem to call me "Sally". So I started going by Elena again once I started working at a new office.

I laughed so hard at this thread I nearly fell off my chair … what with jo nelson, throwass, pooping, and such. Consider what the reaction would be, with the tendency these days to hyphenate and elongate names, if tewinkle married phui pheng.

Jenn - Congrats on your accomplishment(s)!
My name is Jill - sometimes I'm called Julie - ha ha!

There was a wonderfully talented person at a community college who modified materials for students with disabilities. I needed to call this person to set up a meeting with a Congressman I worked for and had to call ahead cause I didn't know how to say his name = they said just like it sounds…....... BoyToy.
