A Farewell to Jessieb
It all began the morning of August 1, 2001..... It was a normal day and no one knew that the outcome of that day would change the lives of many.
Jessieb had decided to engage in the early morning preaching work. She got up at 4:30 to meet her sister-in-law at 5:30. They began their morning preaching to gas station attendants and continued on to down-town Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They walked and distrubuted magazines to countless business people. They stopped at 8 am for a bagel break, and decided to head back to the car. They finished off their morning with some laundromats. Jessieb decided to part. She said she had a few things to take care of. She parked her car in the little town of New Kensington, Pennsylvania and like a good citizen she fed the parking meter a quarter, which bought her an hour. An hour she didn't even have.
Jessieb walked into the Social Security Office, picked a number, and waited for her number to be called. When her number was finally called she got up and pulled a few documents from her purse and legally changed her name. She had been married one day short of two months; it was bound to happen sooner or later.
She walked in as Jessieb and walked out as J-La. So let us all bid a farewell to Jessieb, she was a top 20 ezabel user. Sadly, Ian won't allow her to change her name and keep her status as #17 in the top 20. So from this day forward Jessieb will be J-La.

Jess, it is a great story ; ) I do have to say that I feel bad that Ian would not change your name to let you still be in the top 20.
Oh, come on everybody... pleaase. If she cared that much about her top 20 status, she would just keep using her old login.
August 1st, huh? Ironic that Jessie changed her name on my parents 31st anniversary. Must be a name-changing day!
