Thanks Rowsie... When I first starting using the tilde, I did so because it represented my spineless, wet noodle self. After a lot of work and processing with members of the health sites... I decided to keep the tilde, but allow it to represent my flexibility... my ability to bend and flow. I learned how to turn a negative representation of my flaws... into a positive symbol of my strengths. That one thing... wow... what a difference. That one thing... worth all the angst and confusion and struggle and irritation involved in the learning process. Thank you for commenting on this. I had forgotten what a victory that change in perspective has been for me. Kewl!
