My new name

Sometimes you have to hear someting a few times before it sinks in with you. The world is full of good ideas that no one utilized. One of the best ideas yet just occured to me. I am so slow to catch a clue sometimes that you need to keep hitting me until I get it.

My picture on AR is that of a flag. Many times I have considered changing it, like a lot of you do, to something fresher. Stick my picture on here so everyone can see what I look like. But, over the years, I have had many people tell me that they love my flag picture. So I have kept it, but something has always bothered me.

Today I finally hit upon what it was that was buggin me. There are a few on AR that hate my flag. They get all pissie about it and let me know that I am hiding behind it. They ask who I am and tell me to show myself. Call me a flag waver. The funny thing is I am not sure they realize that what I say and write is who I am. What I look like is of no importance.

As of today I am pleased to announce that if anyone wants to call me Flag, I will be Ok with it. It is representative of what I stand for. I consider the US flag to be one of the most beautiful things on this planet. I love what it stands for as do many others in this country and on this planet. I am truly a flag waver.

You can call me Flag. I will me more than honored and a bit humbled.

PS- I even changed my name in my profile to reflect the new name!
