    I really love this thread. You guys have helped me through a pretty hard time, and I have seen you help so many other people through hard times as well. People on the internet can be awful, but they can also be great. Best thread ever.

    Same here. This thread has affected my life in many ways. All good ways, which is why I struggle so much to keep up. But I have to accept that I cannot. I have to balance it out with real life, but I'll be here for as long as this thread exists!

    Same for me too. I feel like I've really gotten to know some of you really well, especially when we did the real name thing. Several hundred pages back. I've learned a lot and am very grateful for all of you. Thanks for being so accepting and friendly. Never go away, okay?!

    Is it too late for me to get in on that and tell everyone my name? Because I was just a lurker back then... I was just wondering about that yesterday!

    Go for it. I was just a lurker then too. My name is Jody :)

    Ooh, yay! I'm Sawsan. :) It's an Arabic name, and sounds nothing like Suzanne, which is what every non-Arab seems to call me. -_- It sounds like So-Sen (With a sssss sound, like in snake) and it means lily flower.

    Can you tell that I was totally looking forward to sharing all that? :o

    Beautiful name! However, since I can't seem to even pronounce it in my head you will always be Lily Flower to me! So pretty!
    You'll always be Susie to me!

    That is a beautiful name! I've got what has to be the most popular 90s kid name ever lol. One of the many reasons my kid has a relatively uncommon (but not "out there") name lol.

    I went looking for my first Confession yesterday, too. I got 33 pages in. Couldn't find it. Don't remember what it was.

    I am an absolute food addict (yummy foods, of course haha). I obsess over it. If it is in my home I do not stop until it is gone. I feel completely out of control once I start eating something (bag of chips, etc). It is best if I literally treat it the way an alcoholic would treat alcohol... JUST STAY CLEAR!

    No! Fess up!

    ETA: Late to the party again! Your name is gorgeous, Sawsan!

    Your name is beautiful, Sawsan!

    I've got the quintessential 90s kid name (Stephanie), which is one of many reasons my kid has a relatively different (but not "weird") name. I went by my middle name (Rene-pronounced Renee', and I spelled it like normal) most of my childhood and teen years. I didn't want to embrace my name(s), until I was an adult, which looking back was pretty stupid.

    Thanks for the replies @BZAH10 , @ythannah , @riderfangal , @spacequiztime , @LBuehrle8 , @Tubbs216 , @MoHousdon & @kecmw25

    I'm thinking I'll tell her I'm busy with renovations on my new place - which is true! If I'm going to be renting it out I only have a couple weeks to get it ready. Maybe I'll buy lunch/supper as was suggested to help out.

    kecmw25 If she was pregnant and on her own I would definitely help out. But since they will have several able-bodied people around I don't really feel like it's necessary for me to be there. Maybe I'll help out for an hour or two that morning then head over to my own place to work.

    My whole firm is doing a 5k at the end of the month and I HATE CARDIO. But I might do it for the "team building opportunity". I'm weighing my options here. Pros: team building exercise, opportunity to whup co-workers' butts at running. Cons: I HATE CARDIO, $65 sign up fee, I HATE CARDIO.

    Also, I'm Erin. I don't like my name because there are no nicknames for it. :disappointed:

    I think I missed the name section too somehow. Anyway, I have a very popular 80's name, so I can relate. My name is Amber.

    Another 80s child checking in with a super common name. It's one of those "Ashley-Jennifer-Jessica-Amber" names that every kid in my class had and that hardly any one uses for kids now that they're all Madison/McKenzie or Olivia/Charlotte/Ava if they're younger.

    No real nicknames for Laura either - unless you go with Lori (which I don't). My name was very popular when I was a kid, 2nd grade had 3 Laura's and a Laurie. :neutral:

    And I should add that I married into a Polish -ski last name that sounds pretty funny with my clearly-of-another-ethnicity first name, so my name is pretty weird now because I'm not from either of those cultures anyway.

    ETA: If you have other things going on, which you do, definitely use it to get out of helping her move. Moving sucks!

    Thank you. I was always jealous of my sister, because she has a much less common name and didn't have to be 'first name, last initial' all through school. I guess now she is easier to google though.
