Claire is now Roy

[Claire]

Which wouldn't surprise anyone who knows me. I got a new email service, and trying to re-register under the original name just wasn't working. Yes, I'm a woman, Roy is my maiden name. I've enjoyed many conversations with people on this site, and want to let them know I'm the same old gal.

Ironically, I have a bone growth in the top of my mouth that renders me unable to say "Roy" correctly. I inherited it from Mom. We just cannot roll that "R". I have three "Rs" in my name, and I think to a French person I sound like I have a lisp or something. To top it off, I married a man whose name starts with "R". So I'm Claiwe Iwene Wah Wuss. No, seriously, I can say it all correctly in English, but in French I lose it. When I visit French Canada (or my multitude of French-speaking relatives) I, like Mom, avoid the R letter like a plague!!!
