I have decided to simplify my life.
In much the same manner that I am referring to all of you as Kentucky Derby because Kensuro Guatemala's name is too hard to spell, I have decided to refer to everyone IRL as Fred.

Way easier than having to remember names.

4. Simplifying before the quints arrive? Smart.
You don't need any other hassles in your delicate condition.

5. I had a friend in college that could not remember anyones name
so he called everyone "crazy"

For example, "Hey crazy, hows your day going?"

7. I had a pet garter snake named Fred!
Too bad he's not still around, I think you'd like him cause he was a vermin eater! (well actually goldfish)
Sort of like this:



Now I bet you won't be calling people "Fred" anymore! :rofl:

8. I used to use "Fred" for all sorts of things -
especially pizza delivery when they asked for a name - stuff like that.

Then I got a father-in-law named Fred.

9. That is silly.
Everyone knows that all people are Bob. Why would you call Bob Fred?

10. That way, you never call out the wrong name during sex
since everybody is Fred.

11. When I was in the hospital for a month back in Fall of 2005
Rhythm and I called my IV regulator thingy (the portable one on a pole) "Fred." I can't remember why, but it was funny at the time.

12. Cool. That works for me.
I have never been a Fred before. If someone started doing that around me I think I could get used to it. :)

I just finished sorting through my last thousand or so books. 90% if them are ending up in the recycling bin. I'm simplifying my life for this move too.

It's killing me to get rid of books. I wish I could have given them away, or at least given them to a used book store. Nobody wanted them. What's the world coming to when nobody wants good used books anymore? I remember when the world seemed to run on used books getting passed from hand to hand.

:shrug:

13. My 6th grade history teacher called all the girls "Gloria" and all the boys "Charles"
He said he wasn't good at names.
