Sometimes I take things for granted that I consider normal that are just plain weird to other people. This could be one of those instances here, but I’m not sure yet. I have become friends with several other Heidi Clark in various places through the internet simply because we share the name. I was approached by one on Facebook and we’ve had a humorous and pleasant discourse ever since. It’s very funny to write someone with your own name and every one I’ve talked to seems to have a sense of humor about it.
My favorite Heidi Clark, or “Pittsburgh Heidi” as I call her, is the one that has my coveted e-mail address at gmail.com. She beat me to it, so I have the annoying “R” in mine and she has received several e-mails intended for me because 1. people don’t seem to like the fact that there is a “R” in my e-mail address, and 2. I’m blond to the root and forget sometimes that I have a “R” in my e-mail address. Thanks to Pittsburgh Heidi, I got an e-mail from my surgeon about some important details regarding my surgery. Also, thanks to her, I got an e-mail from my Mother’s Day Out. She has been very good about forwarding things on.
So they are my sort-of pen pals. We all talk on a fairly regular basis. It’s been kind of like a support group and we’ve been surprised by how many there are out there. To close, here’s an e-mail from Pittsburgh Heidi:
