  Garnet 22 years ago

  Well Garnet is my Birthstone, but it also means "Fiery Ember" - I can get a little Fiery when I get angry...but no sweat...it takes a real lot to push these buttons. My real name means "Strong", Mom says she picked that one out on purpose

  Just curious, does anyone have an Avatar for Dummies instructions? I tried to download one off the net and it never showed

  Thanks!

  Garnet

  Gretchen956 22 years ago

  Gretchen is seemingly self explanitory, but is not. My name is not Gretchen it is Sherry

  I took Gretchen one day at work when the whole company was forced to take a 2-day safety training course where the topic was how to do "caring interventions when a coworker did something unsafe", very touchy feely stuff. I signed in under my correct name to get the credit and then saw that we all had to wear these cheesy nametags. (did I mention there were 11,000 of us at the company?) anyway I didn't know anyone but I HATE nametags. So I wrote Gretchen. It's appropriate since I'm German by ancestry. At any rate, its sort of been my alter-ego ever since. My evil twin, so to speak.
