Truthful answers would be too revealing…sorry!
Except perhaps for the last one:
I may not agree with what you say (or believe) bit I WILL fight to the death for your right to say(or believe)it.

I do agree about re-doing things. I’ve never regretted anything, no matter what the consequences. Whatever decisions I made, they seemed the right ones at the time. Even if some of them seem in hindsight to be poor decisions, I’ve had an amazing and interesting life regardless so why pick over what’s done and dusted?

Nice one GrannyMar and happy anniversary. I wish I had no regrets! I’m full of them! But they have taught me to live in the moment so it’s not all bad. I agree with the learning about people’s back stories too . . maybe I’m just an old sticky beak but people are soooo interesting.

Pick a handle you are comfortable with and not your own name.
Why though? I had my reasons - simply because I thought of the handle and reckoned it was funny. Plus I come from an era of the Web where having a handle was compulsory due to the technology then available and hence selecting one had become habitual.

I think that using a handle gives you the chance to remain anonymous. This allows Bloggers the freedom to write on topics that they might not attempt otherwise if their name was out there.
My handle was conferred on me 35 years ago, long before I thought of being a mother never mind a grandmother! The latter I look forward to if and when it happens.
