I have been asked what my user name means...it's kind of a long story, so rather than write it in the comments of the person who asked, I'll just put it here:
About 10 years ago, I was in a chat room full of people I didn't know in real life. My username was my (then) last name backwards, with mrs in front of it. One day, just for kicks, I created a new username and went to this chat room. I used my maiden name backwards. The next time I went into that room, Kitty called me Wubbarub. It was a horrible misrepresentation of my maiden name backwards. That stuck. I have since then been Wubbarub online, which eventually got shortened to Wubba. It is very strange to have people in real life call me by my chat name, but it has happened.
OK, so this story doesn't seem now as long as I thought it would be, but I still contend that it's too long to put into someone else's comments.

A note on Christmas displays:
The town that I work in has put up a manger scene in the "lawn" at town hall. It was approved by the mayor prior to the display. Being a "fundamentalist Christian" (see my previous post), I was pleasantly surprised to see such a display. Of course, there is a small outrage from the non-Christians that such a religious display was allowed on public property. Now, the Wiccans are asking to be allowed to put their own display in the town park. Contrary to what those of you who read my blog may believe, I am not against this.
I believe that we should pray for the Wiccans, but I don't believe that by disrespecting them we will turn them toward Christianity. I have a son who is Wiccan, and studying anything Wicca he can get his hands on. I have helped him with this by recommending books and looking at the things he brings home. The only time I really jumped on his case was when I forced him to go to Church with me on a Sunday evening, and he was playing with his Tarot cards!!! I thought that totally disrespected the Church. To me, it was much the same as going to Grandma's and playing rap music as loud as the stereo would allow. (Grandma thinks rap is the worst music ever, and that it should be banned.)
My two cents....
