Hello!<P>Please don't think me rude in what I am about to say, however; in reading through your posts/replies to others, it is obvious you are a 'believer' and lover of our Lord Jesus Christ.<P>If so, would you give some thought to changing your name on MB? I feel "Mrs Mush for Brains" is very demeaning/degrading to you as a person.<P>Remember, the Word says: "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he (or she)". Also, in Proverbs..."the power of life and death is in the tongue".<P>I am sure (in reality), you don't have mush for brains and I'd hoped you might see yourself in a new light.<P>If the 'handle' is just a 'joke', I feel it borders on 'foolish jesting' (Ephesians 4).<P>Please don't get mad at me, God knows my heart in sharing this post.<P>[censored] from Texas

Why not use your first name? Or pick out a nick-name.<P>I remember how Archie Bunker used to call Edith 'ding-bat' (All in the Family). That is so demeaning!<P>I thought a nicer name to describe you would<BR>be 'Forgetful'....but that is also negative.<P>I think we should try to keep a positive confession of who we are. <P>Thanks for having a good attitude and a teachable spirit...shows you possess a good degree of humility!<P>Really, I don't have any suggestions but whatever you come up has to be more complimentary than "Mush4Brains"<P>Blessings upon you!<P>[censored] from Texas

Well, once I had a respectable name, at least I thought so. <P>Cannot use my first name! I have a H who lurks, and believe me it isn't for the benefit of our marriage! <P>I will have to edit posts if I say anything too familiar.<P>I think you guys should name me. Give me a name that doesn't reveal at all who I am.<P>Thanks!<BR>

How about.....<BR>"Nameless in Seattle"<P>Even though you might not be from Seattle, it is a cute, play on the movie "Sleepless in Seattle".<P>Plus, if your husband 'lurks', he will probably think this person is from Seattle.<P>Just an idea!<P>[censored] from Texas<P>

Sleepless in Seattle is one of those romantisized movies I hate right now, so I vote against any name that implies that... I know, I'm an idiot. <P>How about "reinventing my life"???<P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>

Hi MRS. M4B -<P><BR>Well, if you want to get technical about it.....Hey, on second thought....I would categorize that you are "mystified" about H and "others" - could fall into an "occult" category, no?<P>How about Tiptoeing...except they sure aren't Tulips!!!<P>Praying for you, you know!!<P>Big Hugs,<P>Sheba

I don't even want to think about Sleepless in Seattle - it is one of my H's favorite movies, and I noticed that he now has a copy of the soundtrack - I don't even remember there being music in that movie. I was surprised when I found out he liked that movie, since his tastes usually run more toward Lethal Weapon 67 or whatever, but after discovery it makes me wonder if there is more to it than that.<P>And I used to like that movie...
