ways to get attention :)

[Guest guest]

To all who spell my name, correctly or not, and anyone else not tired

of reading about heidi's name ...

My misspelled name was not a big deal to me but just bugged me enough

to say something and then let it go (oh that all things were that

easy to move on from!)--until the next time it's misspelled. It did

not even bug me enough to do the work on it. But then i found Sara's

work on misspelled names very interesting and i could find that some

of her Work resonated for me. One of the reasons Sara gave for this

issue bothering her was the judgment that people aren't paying the

misspelled-namee enough attention--what amuses me enormously in all

this is that a couple of incidents of my name being misspelled have

brought such a barrage of attention. I should be rejoicing, huh?

April and Ala have given me what i want.

[Now for PS's a la onewoman927:]

PS am i spelling " misspelling " correctly? it looks weird.

PPS Aprill and Allla , please don't worry about this. Or do, if you

do, but don't on account of me, unless you do

PPPS this one's for onehumanfemale i'll get back to you on the

questions marks... need to go back and read the post again... i was

crying about other stuff when i read it -- i do remember finding your

insight about me often answering my own questions interesting and i

also found the irony of my postings splattered with zillions of

question marks amusing... heidi, the seeker of answers... i want an

answer for everything. " If i know, then i'll be OK, " so i think.

Heidi,

You will like this one! LOL... I started laughing when I read your

PS...then I saw that Allaaa had a lot of A's....I didn't even see the

lots of L's at the end of my name and I really cracked up! I think I

must have a form of computer dyslexia! I don't notice stuff like that

and my mind just grabs words and takes them...it goes off on a tangent!

I am glad I scrolled up or I never would have caught that! Oh how

funny!

April
