  What does your first name mean? Does it say who you are?

  i am ripping off a topic from someone else.

  no need to tell your name just the meaning and does it describe you?.

  here is mine:.

  Gender: Feminine Usage:English

  The etymology is debated: it could derive from an earlier Greek name which came from ************ "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of a goddess, it could be related to Greek ******* "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans associated it with Greek ************* "pure" and changed their spelling to reflect this.

  The latter, "pure" is the meaning of my name that I am most familiar with and have seen in most name books ... the others are news to me, especially "torture" I'm not really sure what that means!!

  i was at my daughters school this morning to look into her accounts(lunch money/milk money) and making sure she had enough.

  given the knowledge that my daughter has more than the usual student - sadly i asked, if there was aid for some kids in need.

  expressing that there is aid, however, it's only for lunch, as some students don't have breakfast and go to school hungry.

  I just wish everyone could see things this way! I work in a very wealthy part of my city, and seeing the way (some) people behave and what they put priority on, really gets under my skin sometimes.

  Keep it up brooke!!

  sorry you have to experience this cognac

  I understand that you are trying to get away from judgmental people but you will find them everywhere. This board is a VERY diverse group of people and some are a little overly cautious, (with good reason some of them), but there are some REALLY good people here too ... I PROMISE!!! Don't let snide comments get under your skin!

  i hope well.

  this is a subject i've been wanting to approach for awhile as i've noticed on the board at times there have been wisecracks about janitors who were jehovah's witnesses .

  now , hey, i'm real, have a good sense of humor, and can take a joke like anyone, be the brunt of a good joke, hell, i laugh at myself when i work alone at nights- just to keep entertained !

  I did cleaning for many years for a living ... comercial, residential, new construction ... you name it, I cleaned it. I loved it!!! I would do it again if it weren't so hard on my body ...

  I feel that as long as you are happy and find fulfillment in your work then you should stick with it!

  hmmm ...

  I threw away my 'no blood card' and celebrated my birthday and my friends birthdays! I started making friends with 'worldly people', which was my favorite part. For the first time in my life I could choose my friends and my friends could choose me ... no one felt obligated or had to pretend because you were part of the same organization. My friendships now are much more sincere and true than I have ever experienced before!
