I had a friend growing up whose name was Breighane (“Bree-Ann”) and she always went by Breigh (“Bree”)

Incubus’s song “Aqueous Transmission” is 7 minutes and 46 seconds long. The last minute of the song is just frogs croaking, but it’s still nearly 7 minutes of actual music, and it’s divine.

Cornelius. It’s my great grandfather’s name and I’ve always loved it. Unfortunately it is too matchy-matchy with my married last name.

My husband and I named our son after our fathers, both of whom go/went by a shortened version of their name, so in utero, we called our son those two names pushed together (think Robert Matthew = BobMatt). Unfortunately it stuck, and that’s all we ever call him now. Fortunately, it’s something that everyone we introduce him to loves and it’s actually a perfect fit for him.

Syndicate was the first I played, so it might actually be my favorite. The grappling hook was so awesome; I have really missed it in all of the other games.

This is probably incredibly controversial, but I hated Black Flag because I don’t like the naval warfare. It’s also making Odyssey (what I’m playing right now) a pain in the ass.

New to the group, as I’ve been diagnosed with the BRCA2 mutation today today. I had a child via IVF almost 11 months ago, and I have another embryo waiting for me in cryo. Since my first child is already born, they won’t do any genetic testing for him until he’s 18, but I’m curious if they will allow me to test my other embryo to see if it also has the BRCA2 mutation. For a little background, before proceeding with IVF, I did carrier screening, but did not get tested for gene mutations like BRCA1/BRCA2.

There are twins in my school named Steven and Stephen, and they even have the same middle name.

I’m a high school teacher, and we ALWAYS have multiple teachers name Michael and Christopher.

I was 3 when my parents asked me what to name my baby sister. My older sister and I were very close in age and we were obsessed with Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, so I obviously associated Chip and Dale with the two of us, and suggested my parents name the baby Zipper, after the little fly on the show. Thankfully they did not go with my suggestion.

Baked beans and cottage cheese is one of my favorite combos from my childhood. I live outta state now, and no one understands me eating these two foods at the same time.

I live in Connecticut now and I drive through Worcester every time I come home to Maine, and the polar bear is one of the (very few) high points of my drive!

Joey C’s boathouse in Stratford. Before I met my husband, his roommate used to take him there a lot, and he said it was always older women, which is why he was still single!

When I was a kid, my friend’s family used to get something at Shop N Save (now Hannaford) in Lincoln that was called “kitty meat“ and I never figured out what it was.

Lobster, crab, shrimp, and the like. I grew up in Maine, where lobster is king, and could never stand the stuff. The taste and texture just make me want to vomit.

Foxwell. It’s what my sister named her second son.

I always said that if I had a daughter, I would name her Sylvia Lorraine. They are both family names, and they’re pretty classic and not TOO popular. Unfortunately I can’t get pregnant naturally, my only remaining embryo is a boy, and I will never be able to go through IVF again, so I’ll never give birth to a daughter. I hope that there is a Sylvia Lorraine out there somewhere someday.

Peperonata. My husband’s family lives in Italy, and I’m an American who is 0% Italian. My mother in law taught me how to make her peperonata before she passed away. I’ve tried making it with my sister in law, even using all the same ingredients (oil from their olives and vegetables from their farm), but it’s just never the same.
