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 |

It is good to see your courage. May God bless you and give you added strength to be yourself.

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?

Hey Lurker, Sorry for the confusion. I really do prefer Yogi or YB. I just wanted to clear the decks and am happy to move on. 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 -------------------- |

Hey "G" I vaguely remember those days too, rippled down all nasty (gag) and ended with a tidal wave and crash. It's good to move on... This post has been edited by Ian: Jan 7 2008, 06:52 PM |

Hey "G" I vaguely remember those days too, rippled down all nasty (gag) and ended with a tidal wave and crash. It's good to move on... Never did ripple all the way to tsunami.... but close. Thanks for the hug! Fortunately, Mrs. "G" wasn't watching. -------------------- Got Peace?
