Ya know, in all my life I used Les, short for Leslie, I never once thought to use my middle name...........Loyd, don't know why, just never did. Mom and dad used older family names, and I just couldn't see not using my given name. But hey, that's just me, My MIL goes by Sabrina(pseudonym) as her name is Norma. I told her that I thought she was dishonoring her parents by not using her given name. Boy was that a fun conversation, lets just say, "And that's when the fight started!"


Back in the heartland, Thank God!
