October, I'm sorry. Actually, though, I was responding to your first post in this thread, rather than the others. Yes, I feel unconnected to my name, as well.

I also relate really well to your screen name, being an October child, too.

It wasn't you prticularly - it had been going that way for days.  Every time I logged on there was a notice that someone had added to the thread, and for days there was all sorts of chat.  I tried all sorts of positive thinking, to say this is a good thing, that so many people relate, but they all ended up talking with one another, and I felt left in a corner.

Yes, I am an October child.  Perhaps we should plan a party??????

October,

    Hi, I was just checking in on the Names subject because I saw you had posted. I was thinking, cool, October is adding something again to the post, she seems really interesting. I like people from the UK. (I'm in the States)

------------------------------------------------------

Thanks so much for your insight and support.
 It aided my healing. Too much of my heart
was in this post to let it remain here for posterity on the web.
The post served its purpose and now it is time to
edit it or gently take it down.

  I'm glad you posted how you felt, (((((((((((((((October)))))))))))))))

Hi Cathy!  

You brought up some interesting points about names.  It really has made me dwell on that thought for a while now.  Looking back, my mother NEVER called me by my name - it was always a pet name.  They never made sense either.  I will share one with you now that makes me laugh although I never understood it - Jody Queenbee!   :lol:   All the nicknames have fond memories associated with them, but you have made me question the reason why she never called me by my name....why it always had to be a nickname - and a nonsensical one at that.  Curious.

I am so glad you shared your feelings, but at the same time sorry that you felt invisible.  I am always very moved and inspired by your posts.  Several of mine have gone off topic at times...I think we all just get caught up in the moment sometimes.  I want to continue to hear your voice - it is a strong, educated, encouraging voice and one that I always look for in my visits to the board.  

Big supportive hugs to you.  

Want to share more about feeling invisible?  If so, I'm here.  If not, that's ok too.  

Your cyber-friend,
Michelle

Thanks, flower.  It is lovely to know that I have friends, who understand even if I whinge a bit.  I spent several days feeling lost, and in the end the only thing to do was to write down how I was, even though I felt stupid doing it.  But it has got me back here.

Things are a bit difficult at present, but at least you can't say that life is dull, lol!!!  However, I managed to get the grass cut yesterday, which is good.  Only need to sort the ironing and run the vac and a duster round and all will be well again.  In the middle of trying to sell my house, because I need to sort out some money situations (ie debts), so I have to keep the place tidy and clean, and that is not easy.   :lol:

Meanwhile, missing seeing my friends, and feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Not surprising when I think about it, but of course you don't always think first.  You feel bad for a while way before you stop to think why.

So, where are you in the States (roughly; my geography is a bit rusty).  I am in England, about 30 miles or so due north of London.
