TRISHPIP, MOMTRISH

 where you can read a few of my thoughts (not many).


			   
			   
   My name is Patricia (Trish), but when I was a baby my sister gave me
   the nickname Pippy. When I was looking for a screen name and both my
   nicknames were already taken, I made this one up. TrishPip. It makes
   my siblings laugh. I was born in Rochester, NY, the eighth of 11
   children in one of the last red-hot Irish Catholic marriages. We lived
   outside of Cleveland, briefly, when I was too young to remember.
   Otherwise, I've been in the Rochester area all my life. My mom died
   with leukemia when I was 10 years old and my dad remarried and had two
   more kids with my wicked step-monster (so I'm really 8 of 13). I met
   my husband when we were going to high school together. Our first date
   was the senior prom, but we'd been friends for 3 years before that. We
   married in 1986 and have two kids (boy 12, girl 7).

   I have another name on Delphi - MomTrish. One night I was looking at
   the chat options and saw a rather full room called Trivia. It was
   about 9:25 so i entered an ending game. What was really funny was this
   feeling of deja vu. Way way back in 1993, I had an account on AOL for
   a short time (dh didn't appreciate the bills we were getting, tho).
   While on AOL I found my way into a trivia room that ran lots of
   different games - I remember that sometimes you could bluff your way
   through a whole game by doing this thing called "lemming". I was so
   surprised to see a trivia game, in chat, with lemming, and people
   laughing about who they chose too lem. I think I told someone that
   night that I've been looking for you guys for the past 7 years! Well,
   I still use "MomTrish" on the parenting forum I visit, but I took the
   name Trishpip for this game because I got tired of you guys calling me
   Mom! After all, some of you are old enough to be my Mom!
