Shouldn't your name be MMX now?
Yeah, technically it should, but I thought I would just ride with MMIX to remind me that I lurked here for over four years before I bit the bullet and joined up. So that kinda of makes 2009 special to me so I think I'll stick with it. Plus I pronounce it Emmix which I think sounds better than Mux . . .
I would argue that you could still pronounce it Emmix.
I always thought of it as Muh-Mix myself.

I just don't think I would feel right about pronouncing it the same way when it is spelled differently. I suffer from homonymophobia . . .

You mean like Mum Icks? Nah, I don't feel particularly comfortable with that. It reminds me that when my kids were little I had this bee in my bonnet about not being called Mum. I seem to recall that I insisted that "I am not a structural relationship, I am an individual" . . .
long story short - most of my kids hate me . . . but at least they hate me as an individual

You're female? No shit.

Not when you're a parent. Then you have to be God and all his prophets, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. Sure, it's impossible, but so is everything else about raising kids.
Hang on, I always looked at the name and though, oh, megaman 9. What does it mean?
Think Roman Numerals.
Oh right, I forgot what M stood for.
:oops:

Boy you sure got that right Roger. I envy you being a Mexica Raingod and all, it must be a real help with the whole parenting business . . .
I always thought you were a guy MMIX, sorry. I also never put the roman numeral thing and the name together, so I am complete fail with this.
OMG your kids are grown, how lucky is that? I have 8 more years before there is daylight in my kid free tunnel!!
