Love the cross stitch! Picked up Jenny and the Jaws of Life recently and turned some friends on to it who are now Jincy fans. Cheers!

I troll for recipes outside my comfort zone. For example: grouper with mango-habanero reduction. Why am I skittish? I live inland: frozen grouper is depressing.

I collect blogs.
And then think about starting one.
And then don’t.

Thanks for the information, Jincy! And how amazing it is finally to address somebody else by this name. I have forwarded this info to my parents, who are always interested in Jincy lore. It’s nice to know one is Not Alone.

Comment on My First Name by Jincy

Hello-a live, in person, Jincy here. I was named for my great grandmother who died from the Spanish influenza when my grandmother was 13. I am “borned and raised” in Georgia and live 3 miles down the road from where my great grandmother is buried. There is also a Jensi in the same county, but of no relation and 10 years younger. I have seen a very old grave in the woods behind a local church where there is a couple and their young son. The wife’s name is Jincey and the son is named (not joking) Pansey.

Also, there was a book published by a deceased local author, Celestine Sibley, intitled- Jincey. It is about a young girl growing up in the south.

I am a dental hygienist, mother of 3. My brother, however, is starting his 21st year as a high school English teacher and theater director. It’s my only writing connection but I do love reading.

Growing up, the worst thing about my name was never being able to find pencils or notepads with my name on them in the store. I cherished the red pencils with gold lettering that were custom ordered for me by my best friend for my 10th birthday. It’s the small things!

From one Jincy to another Jincy.

This is a really interesting post particularly because I can relate to staring at words and making them come to life, too.

Nice list of goat-related songs. I remembered one: Sheep Go to Heaven, Goats Go to Hell. It’s not a made up song, though.

Here’s one funny addition: Give Goats on Christmas Day.

Comment on Consider the Ambivert by Monica

Ambiverts like Marcus are frequently misdiagnosed as manic-depressives, as they swing back and forth between the exhilaration of charming the likes of Sarah and David and the self-loathing that accompanies the realization that they have more in common with John. I think Marcus comes home from some small party he has dominated with his wit and falls into a black depression.
