X isn't so eXact
"X" is a substitute letter.
In Xmas, it's the substitute for Christ. In a signature, it's the substitute for the name of a person who doesn't know how to write.
But what's its purpose in other words? Like:
- X-acto Precision Instruments - You'd think if they were xacto, they'd be defined by a more precise and definitive appellation.
- X-Files - I never got that show. I suppose the "X" could be anything you wanted it to be...
- Xbox - I've heard of it but have no clue what it is.
Then again, I'm the gal who used her name in each of the businesses she established. Not exactly creative and exciting.
But at least consumers knew my business wasn't the same-old-same-old.
What are your thoughts on the subject of X?

Who is WonderWoman?
WonderWoman is a person who has great abilities to overcome, to survive and thrive, and pave the way for a better world. Thousands of WonderWomen live in this country (and in the entire world).
My focus today is on the WonderWomen who have have triumphed in the face of adversity presented to them in the form of sexual assault.
On April 30, 2011, thousands of people will take a Two-Mile High Stand Against Sexual Assault®. At dozens of drop zones across the country, men and women of all ages will take to the sky and jump. Most for the first time ever. And it's all part of Operation Freefall®, the boldest, highest-altitude, and most daring event organized to put an end to sexual assault.
Operation Freefall is the only event of its kind to increase awareness of sexual violence. The event is held simultaneously across the country on the last Saturday of each April, and it benefits both Speaking Out About Rape, Inc.® (SOAR®) and community-based anti-sexual violence organizations nationwide.
My daughter is a WonderWoman. If you'd care to support this wonderful cause--and all the WonderWomen, WonderMen, and WonderChildren in this country--feel free to visit Laurie's fundraising page to learn more: click here

Valerie
My favorite doll of all time was Valerie. She had blonde hair (don't most dolls?) and a wonderful wardrobe of clothes, including my all-time favorite red plaid skirt.
I was a real girly-girly when I was a kid and absolutely adored my dolls. I can still remember all their names: Kissy, Chatty Cathy, Tiny Tears, Tammy (my parents never bought me a Barbie doll), Pepper, and the famous Valerie.
At night, I had to dress them in their PJs because, after all, if I didn't sleep in my clothes, why should they? I made them wear sweaters at night and, for those who didn't have sweaters, I made a nest of a big flannel blanket to keep them warm.
My two younger brothers were cruel in their lack of appreciation for my wondrous dolls. Unknown to anyone at the time, the nasty little SOBs buried Valerie in the back yard because I tattled on them. One summer night I put Valerie to bed in the closet and the next day she was ... gone.
I swore someone broke into the house and stole her and was the laughingstock of my brothers--and my parents--for weeks. Until thirty years later when one of my brothers broke the vow of silence and shared the true story.
Valerie's corpse was probably uncovered by an avid gardener years later when mulching the yard before planting some petunias.
What nasty tricks did YOUR rotten little (or big) brothers (or sisters) play on you?
