I've just put 2 and 2 together and made about 3 million, a while back you
must have accidently emailed me from your real name, at the time I didn't register who on earth it was or why or earth they were saying what they were saying, but finally I have twigged, I am freaked out by how many people we must both know irl. Anne |

It probably wasn't accidental: I often use my real name when I email people personally. It's mostly a question of which account I happen to be using. (I use a screenname because I don't want a web search for my IRL name to show up my postings, not particularly because I mind people knowing who I am IRL.) I'm sorry if I spooked you though - I usually remember to include both names to let people place me. It is a very small world, I see proofs of this regularly! It can be very strange when you think you're in one part of your world and someone from another turns up. Nice, though, I tend to feel. I like the connectedness of it. YMMV!

I'm sorry if I spooked you though - I usually remember to include both names to let people place me. not sure whether you did or didn't as I don't have the original email, but it confused me for a long time! It is a very small world, I see proofs of this regularly! It can be very strange when you think you're in one part of your world and someone from another turns up. Nice, though, I tend to feel. I like the connectedness of it. YMMV! absolutely, a while back it turned out that someone who posted infrequently on misc.kids.pregnancy went to the same baby swimming classes as Nathanael and I! It does feel kind of nice, though can sometimes cause issues, one of my bizarrest memories of "it's a small world" was walking out of a pub and seeing two friends sat on a bench, I say "hi" and they each respond and then turn to each other and say "so how do you know Anne", when I hadn't even registered that would be a possibility. When I was in hospital before Ada was born, a friend came to visit me, and when she entered the ward she said "I've come to see Anne Rogers" rather than "visit" and the nurse or whoever she spoke to gave her my notes! which is slightly worrying.

ROTFL, but yes! Did your friend happen to be wearing a white coat?! Sidheag DS Colin Oct 27 2003 |

Did your friend happen to be wearing a white coat?! nope, she was just wearing her own clothes, but she did have a id badge, but given the size of the hospital there must be 10000+ people with ID badges. I suspect they recognised her vaguely as the lab she works in is literally the other side of the corridor from the ante/postnatal ward and therefore assumed she was there in an official capacity.
