In light of the current activity, I've decided that it's time for me to come out as it were. I just can't continue the subterfuge of hiding behind my screen name any longer. I think it's time to end the speculation and invite others to join me in this liberation. I would prefer that we not use my last name but you may call me Mollie if you must.
There, I feel so much better… -bear (a/k/a mollie) This post has been edited by YogusBearus: Jan 7 2008, 06:03 PM -------------------- |

Hi Mollie, I always pictured Yogi Bear in my mind. Now I get a totally different picture. I so wish I could do the same thing but my husband doesn't want me to do it. Wish I had picked a better pen name though. I always did like your yougbearus name. It seemed friendly and carefree.
Your profile says male though and Mollie doesn't sound like a man's name. This post has been edited by lurker: Jan 7 2008, 05:51 PM |

I know there are others who are contemplating getting out of their screen names, but the time has not arrived yet. It is good to see your courage. May God bless you and give you added strength to be yourself.Johann - my real name. -------------------- "Any fact that needs to be disclosed should be put out now or as quickly as possible, because otherwise the bleeding will not end."

There, I feel so much better… -bear (a/k/a mollie) Mollie, you are an inspiration and I simply have to follow suite. You may call me Garwin or my nickname, Pops Cornbread, if you prefer. Now you must realize why I have guarded my own identity so closely. Yes, Mollie, it is a cleansing feeling! Bless you for your courage in taking that first step. No more secrets!!!! Lurker, be strong. You can do it.... PB (aka Garwin) -------------------- Got Peace?

I didn't really intend to mislead with the "male" thing on my profile. I got confused when it wouldn't allow me to enter Sundays... -bear -------------------- |

Never did ripple all the way to tsunami.... but close. Thanks for the hug! Fortunately, Mrs. "G" wasn't watching. -------------------- Got Peace?
