Well, those were great stories, and made my day, today, which I really needed...I hope we get more stories, and more insight into the 'charcters' we really are at heart.

A friend once had napkins printed for me with all my assorted "nicknames" from over the years - "spits (water fights) - grace (lack thereof) - fats (hair) - moose (had a run in with such a critter at Yellowstone once I wont forget) - trouble (kinda obvious, if not causing it, in it) " - but I went with the most boring thing of all - initials!!!!!!! I rely on the net so much and my tiny little brain to remember all the passwords etc... that I figured heck - why make this one difficult!!!!!!!!

Boring eh??????

I'm afraid I gave everyone the opinion I was a silver lady or a real old one with gray hair. By now you all know I make jewelry and use a lot of silver (gad! the price now!). And I'm not gray I'm a firey redhead. And Silverlady sounded like someone Sir Galahad would rescue and I wanted rescuing from the pain of this stuff. .....where are you Sir Galahad!!!!!

I think Silverlady is pretty classy.

Not like the cross-dresser that my name connotes! LOLOLOLOL

Oh, no one associated Silverlady with gray hair! Your avatar says it all....besides, Anderson Cooper has gray hair, and he is pretty cute, at least in my book. Yes, I know he is younger....I can dream. Some one will pop my bubble and tell me he isn't 'my type'. (For being sick, there are still some parts of me that work, I'll be darned! Wonders never cease.)

LOL, he is probably gonna read this, as they have all those internet reporters who just sit and watch the net all day squeal on me for saying this....hey--THAT is the job I need...and I could move to a warm climate!

I wonder what HIS screen names are. Maybe it is Sir Galahad? Robinhood? Sir Lancelot---oh forget that one, it sounds too painful.

Silverlady to you sell your jewlery. My friend sells hers on the net. I am wondering who Anderson Cooper is?I like this lifter post.

Yes Daniella,
I do sell my jewelry. I've sold almost everything I've made. I make it for a high price boutique, a large beauty shop, and this week when I took my watch in to my local small jewelrystore to have it repaired, they asked me if I'd be able to do some work for them. I stay behind at all of the locations because sitting is painful and darn...you gotta sit to make jewelry.

My husband bought me a photo cube and camera for Christmas and Kmeb was so sweet..she sent me a tripod because I needed one. Seems she had an extra. The light here hasn't been strong enough since I got everything to be able to use it. I did make a few photo's and will try to figure out how to post them someday. It all keeps me a little bit sane. (notice...a little bit) Some day I'll make my own website and sell from my studio. But getting out to take the jewelry to the places I sell it gives me my only social contact and it is very enjoyable.

I climbed the stairs today twice and the pain in my sit down is excruciating tonight. I'm beginning to think it is all connected to soft tissue in the knee and groin area. My knee (replaced knee) has a spot on it that has turned purpley red. Really weird. Like a vein broke. But it does it repeatedly in the same spot.

Anyway back to subject...I am really as Glenn says ..verbose...tonight. Thanks Mrs. D for thinking I'm classy. Cyclops....dream on girl!!

I've enjoyed this thread so much.
