None of us used our "Sunday" names which added to the confusion...Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360272405643318813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-56464097628336043202011-03-10T23:30:54.645+00:002011-03-10T23:30:54.645+00:00I would like a different name every month..interes...I would like a different name every month..interesting thought.

I have, on a number of occasions, announced (with determination) that it's coming off, but wife and daughter (showing more determination) both insist it stays put. I guess they're worried about what's hidden behind it, after all these years.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-91988886334720502012011-03-08T16:55:10.053+00:002011-03-08T16:55:10.053+00:00I used to have a pet name for my brother, which wa...I used to have a pet name for my brother, which was his name backwards.

I have a slightly older sister, Jane, who could not enunciate Teresa, and for some ungodly reason it came out <br />Chee Chee, which has stuck. When I lived in the southwestern U.S., where that name has a specific meaning, I dissuaded them from using it in public. <br /><br />Your painted image looks like you might have enjoyed some time as a rabble-rouser.
