Hi All

I have changed my username!!

I started as Kiwigal when I was not participating in the forum but a watcher. I picked the name in haste.

As I have become active and comfortable I decided to also use Sally (my name) but since there is another Sally from NZ I kept the Kiwigal as well. Believe it or not Sally is NOT a common name here - it is not unusual but I rarely meet others.

But I don't see myself as a girl, nor a gal, and I have become to feel it is not authentic. I refer to myself as a woman. While I am from NZ and love my country, I also feel nationalism is something I don't want to promote right now.

So Sal it is, but you can still call me Sally. I have one or two friends that shorten my name to Sal.

Thanks
Sally
