Grade school, bright red hair in a ponytail, freckles everywhere...the kids called me "Woody Woodpecker..."

first ex called me "Hey You" (no one in his family was called by their name...his mom was spider!)

In my come-of-legal-drinking-age days, hair still red, going through a divorce and having a temper, they all dubbed me "Irish."

First real professional job, I became "Katey" or "KateyKat" which stuck until I came to the Mudcat where I became kat/katlaughing along with katma, katsagewalker, and bunch of other kat-whatever-action/emotion I'm feeling. One dear friend answered the phone recently with, "Hello, my Psychic Friend!" *bg*

LeeJ, you forgot "Blondie!"
