It has been so fun and also bittersweet to read all of the postings here. Thank you all for the trip down memory lane.
I forgot on my previous posting that I'm called 'Queen' by a group of friends (I'm very tall, very opinionated, and not the least bit shy about sharing).
Those of you called 'lou' or 'sue' in the middle, it is an endearment. Like Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I call my SMIL Brenda Sue for that very reason.
I think we need to start a thread on nicknames for our pets LOL
