The woman thought the v-word 'pretty'. As for the pain of others, I'm like you and often get physically sick in some way. I had to put down a recent work of realistic fiction for that reason. As it turns out, the author himself admitted deciding to write some light, summertime beach reads before channeling all the pain of stories like this destroyed him. So at least we're not alone. And migraines are horrible. ~hugs~ I seem to have outgrown them and hope they're rare for you.Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-85442658699813774472018-06-07T09:12:41.172-07:002018-06-07T09:12:41.172-07:00Gosh, I can't, but I can do a whole post of un...Gosh, I can't, but I can do a whole post of unusual names that I have ran across in my years of transcription (can't because it would be a HIPAA violation, protecting people's privacy).

I had an uncommon maiden name that I always had to spell, now married I'm still having to spell the married name because it ends with an "on" and people want to make it an "en." I was very happy with the name chosen for grandson, very plain and simple, compared to his sister's name which I'm always having to think twice on how to spell it when writing out a card, etc.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-35286972555830834422018-06-07T08:36:46.660-07:002018-06-07T08:36:46.660-07:00You have to wonder what some parents were thinking...You have to wonder what some parents were thinking.
