Dear Cindy,

Robert knows who's who. He knows I'm Lissi, too.
No problem for him. No problem for you.

And, May I say you have a beautiful name! Smile.

Always Turning Pages,

Lissi - Estelnalissi

Lissi,

Thanks for clearing that up. And again, welcome -- and
thanks for using Lissi. Now I can go back to being
just plain Cindy (I seem to forget the R half the time
anyway). But, if Robert can remember to call you
Lissi, then I and others won't be confused. I'll try
to think, though, based on the content of his posts,
which of us he's referring to.

Cindy

Dear Readers, Robert and Cindy R.,

Posting for less than a day and I'm already
confusing people.

Robert is right. my true name is Cindy. When I
realized another Cindy was on
this list before me, I decided to use my Tolkien
name here. I enjoy
Estelnalissi, Lissi for short and there won't be any
confusion between Cindy
R. and Lissi. This way the first Cindy won't have to
bother with the R.. And
perish the thought, I'm probably the old
Cindy...horrors!

Always Turning Pages

Lissi
