n,

I get the same response to my name. Things always come in the mail

addressed to Mr. Gale . My name is spelled " the boy's " way.

My dad wanted a boy. He got four girls. We all got boy's names

though... Teri, Jodi, Gale, and Billie Jo.

Love,

Gale

n,

My daughter has been teased for sometime from her friends that she is either

a chain smoker with her cough or that there are some guys in her class that

we pay money to have a voice like hers.

They only wish they had such a deep sexy voice right.

" the CF Voice! "

Do we not have, as adults and even sometimes as children and young people a

unique voice quality?

This morning I had the following conversation with my High Speed Internet

Provider.

Me: Good morning! I have a question to ask you.

CC: Good morning sir! How may I help you!

Me: I am not a " Sir, " and that is irrelevant to the request.

CC: ER, UM, okay, uh, how may we help you--n???????

Me: I have a number of questions about my bill, and would like to know

whether I have

reached the right department to ask them of.

CC: I don't know, Sir; why don't we start with the questions!

Me: O.K., provided that you understand that I am a 66-year-old widowed

WOMAN.

CC: I'll try.

Me: (Cough, croak, gasp!) Alright. . . . . ad nauseam.

I finally just gave up, called them back, and sat up while speaking and

seemed able

to convey the idea that I was me, a woman.

I never have this as a problem in person, but over the phone, the computer

microphone,

you name it---that famous CF " croak " comes across as male.

Anyone else have this problem--ever?

Just curious!

and desperate!

n, who IS a 2nd alto anyway!

I will leave out the people who get all excited and assume that I am

transgendered!

Though, that is LESS offensive!
