A FReeper FRiend of mine and I used to privately ROFL at all the flirting that would go on during one of the FRiday chat threads...........She posted with a man's name and all the FReeperettes would flirt with her. She was very good at the act - never doing it to be deceptive, she was just going along with it as a game and over time many other FReepers got to know that the screen name happened to be a nom de plume she used in some of her activism work.

The interesting thing was that when she passed away earlier this year and I posted a thread about her - it was primarily the male Freepers that were unaware that she was not a he. The gals that knew, including me, had all continued with the game of flirting......

Jamaly: "I have always wondered if my fellow Freepers thought I was a black man, like Malcolm Jamal Warner(?) from The Cosby Show. But, no I am just an old, fat grandma and happy to have twin grandsons who think I am beautiful."

I didn't think of Malcolm Jamal Warner with your screen name, but guess that sounds reasonable! :) But I think I agree with your grandsons that you are beautiful - you sound that way anyway! :)

It's funny in your post #38 that you also thought *I* was a male FReeper! :)

That is just too funny, Gabz! (not that she passed away - just that she 'let' some of the Freeperettes think she was a guy! YIKES!) What was the screen name?
