I'll put up a caring thread for you if you like so people can send you positive thoughts - would you like that?

It's ok, Sue, all us Sues will stick together and make sure we know exactly who we are. Unlike poor yllaS.

I may change my screen name actually. It would be interesting to see how many people could figure out how to pronounce yllaS. hehe

lol

Methinks any caring thread may just get invaded by evil trolls and I can't find my poison dust just at the moment!

It sounds like an exotic Gaelic name given to a good fairy in recognition of her good deeds.

I've just tried to change it but they won't let me! 'That site name is not allowed' is the message at the top when I press save. Soooooo maybe they're stopping people changing their screen names now! That would be good.

I don't think Hope intended to hide her identity - she is just playing with the people on here.

The member number for Hope isn't one that I recognise. It certainly wasn't the same one as Dame.

There's a thread on chat today about name changing problems

I've seen that. They seem to be saying that they can change their names to each other's but not to ones they've used before. Very strange.

Hopefully GR are tightening up the facility by which names can be changed and changed back numerous times. They were having problems with it on chat yesterday.

I have trousers that say 14. But they come from Canada where they label them smaller anyway. lol

Morning, oops, afternoon, Ann, glad you are still on here and rising above the hoohar!

I was nearly a Sue, my parents considered calling me Susan but they changed their minds and gave me my royal moniker, and called the dog Susan instead lol She didn't stay with us long, too much for Mum with three kids and a hubby on shifts so walking Susan was a problem and she was given to someone else. Could have been worse, might have been me given away lol, but I made a good babysitter for my younger brothers so I suppose I was more useful lol
Back to bed now, only came down for a cuppa and can't resist taking a peek.
No mistaking me, I always keep a Purple in my name even if I change the rest.
Enjoy the rest of the day Susans/Sues, Sallys and Anns and anyone I have missed, oh yes, Jac, Christine, etc etc etc

Ann - I am sad and disappointed that your thread, expressing your gratitude to those who supported you yesterday, has been whooshed. I always thought that in this country we had freedom of speach, amongst other things. I am afraid it now appears we do not. What a sorry state of affairs we have come to.
Some time ago, it became obvious that there was a number of Julia's,Julie's and Jules etc. on these boards, so I elected to use the sobrequet that I do, to avoid confusion.
Best Regards
Julia in Derbyshire

As all you Sue,s seem to be confused,as most of us are regarding the name and Who Is Who. Which one of you is the "Sue" that "Johnny Cash" sang about?.**M**.:o))))>

I know it's a T & C issue, but I still really wish we could name and shame, in the interests of security.
