Oops!

Sorry, Peggie. I apologize for spelling your name wrong in my last post. Seems that since my wife's name is Peggy, and her best friend is also Peggy, I must have been on autopilot when I posted my message.

Best regards

George

Don't worry about it George...my mother never got it right either.

My legal name is Margaret...Peggy/Peggie is the nickname I've been called since birth...and it was spelled with a Y until I started learning to write instead of print in the 2nd or 3rd grade...I couldn't make the tails on two g's and a y look like anything but a mess. In those days, teachers used phonics to teach reading...so I knew that Y and IE at the end of a word have the same sound...so I tried it...liked it...and have been spelling it with an IE ever since. My mom, otoh, wasn't that flexible...she persisted in spelling it with a Y till the day she died...though she did try to sidestep the whole issue by beginning her letters to me "Dear Stinky..."

So spell it any way you like! :dance:

Thanks

Peggie—

Why did your mother start her letters with 'Dear Stinky'???

 

[Peggie Hall HeadMistress]

Because it ends in Y and she knew I wouldn't try to change it.

LOL... I thought it might have to do with your marine sanitation career...

Out of the doghouse!

Glad I'm not in the Doghouse, Peggie!

Did you get a chance to see my post on Holding Tank Maintenance last week? I'm wondering about the effectiveness of Calgon Water Softener when the boat goes into the storage mode.
Thanks.

That just doesn't sound right

I don't think it would sell. It's a good thing you didn't go with your grandmother's nickname for you.

Oops for sure.

I don't know, I kind of like Stinky. Now that the cat's out of the bag, that could stick here.
