OT - The CRAZIEST thing just happened to me...

BTW:  AT&T sells Iphones for .99 or 1.99.  They aren't the latest but great price for kids.  Mine works just fine after I ruined my first one when I dumped my bottle of water in my purse with the phone .

I haz Sprint, but thank you!

OMG we are twins, my sons name is WILLIAM, guess what I call him....yup William.  He is a 3rd, my ex's was called Billy by his entire family and when my son came along they wanted to call him Little Billy.  I said over my dead body.  It was bad enough my sons middle name is Francis, but now that Pope Francis came along maybe that will be the new kewl name for boys.  lol lol  Highly unlikely.  Anyway I never allowed my son to be called anything other then William until he was old enough to choose for himself and basically his friends started calling him Will when he was playing soccer and he now calls himself Will, which I am perfectly fine with, but cannot say myself.  I will write his name as Will, but when I talk about him or to him I always call him William.  I have always been odd with name worse with nicnames, I really can't use them on people.  I had a hard time calling my ex husband by his first name, don't know why.  I didn't ever call my ex mil anything, I just spoke to her and the same with my boyfriends mom, I can't really call her Donna to her face.  My mother was called JuJu by my son and because my grandmother (his great grandmother was Grammie) and my mothers name was Judy and he came up with JuJu, so that was allowed.  Okay one last nicname thing before you think I am really a nut.  On my grandmothers side of the family they called her Twedsie because when she was a little girl her father called her treasure and her much younger sister mispronounced it as Twedsie (pronounced exactly as it looks) on my grandfathers side of the family when my grandfather was young (his name was Bill also) he was called Si and my grandmother was called Tosh.  I asked the origin of that but have forgotten over the years, so depending upon who you were talking to they would be calling my grandmother a different nicname.  lol lol  No wonder I hate nicnames.  Oh wait one more, so my mother named (Judith called Judy) hated nicnames also so she named me Heidi (no nicnames or so she thought), my boyfriends mom created Christmas stockings for us and accidentally or whatever misspells my name as Hedi instead of Heidi and that name has stuck.  My bf and his brother to this day call me Hedi, except when my bf is mad at me and then all of a sudden I turn back into Heidi.  ******g hysterical.  Okay I am done finally.  lol

And lest anyone think I am a hypocrite, a true fact: my birth certificate actually does say NIKKI. Not Nicole. Not Nicolette. Not any other name that could be shortened to Nikki. But Nikki. My mom's name was Rikki. My daughter's name is Annikki. (It's sort of a tradition now...)

Another true fact. Phonetically my name is NOT pronounced "nick-ee." Anyone care to guess?

Is it pronounced *****  lol  You dared me......... lol  Is is NiK-Key?

WOOOOOONK.

And that is the same phonetic pronunciation I gave above, just spelled differently. :)

It's actually Nick-EYE (not KEY lol). So a long "i" on the end. 

So you must constantly have to tell people how to pronounce it?  That stuff drives me nuts, I still have my ex husbands long German last name which no one can pronounce or spell.  It sucks.  I would get married to change it but my boyfriend is German also and his name is easier but not easy.  I have a thing for German men, omg, I have an even weirder story about that.  Dated a guy who was in this country about 20 years from Germany, accent and everything in tact, turned out to be a pedophile.  Yeah true story, he got arrested in a sting operation and sent to jail.  I read about it in the newspaper I work at one day years after we broke up.  He lied about everything and really hurt me when we broke up.  I wasn't sad to hear he had spent 2 years in jail for trying to proposition a girl the same age as his daughter, although I prefer the Hard Candy approach to those matters personally.  Oops now people will know I am not nice.  lol  As if that was a mystery.

Nope. Even my late mother called me "Nick-ee" except when she was mad (note: her name is pronounced the same way with an "R" and my daughter, Annikki's, name is pronounced "An-nick-eye"). I answer to either. There are only about three people in the world who consistently call me by my real name.

Wow, Nik...just wow. I don't care if you think someone is a scammer or not - why would you ever use such coarse language? Don't get me wrong, I can hang with sailors and truckers, and keep up with the cussing, and if you hurt someone I love, you'll get an earful that would make a hardened criminal blush...but this guy to treat you like that based on an assumption??? You did the right thing contacting the authorities - I hope he got a good scare and learned a lesson - what an asshole...

What an idiot  *SMH*..... I grew up in the South with very proud Southern raised parents.... and my daddy would have opened up a 50 gallon drum of whoop heiney on that trash.
