Wow! This is a surprise. Never expected such a kind invitation. Speedily - I rushed to put your code in and presto! There you are. So I should be in your WR now just awaiting a tap on the accept button.

My name is 17th century Dutch. It was a family name and there is dispute about its pronunciation. I swear that when I heard my parents say my name it came out the way I say it. However, my husband and kids all say I am wrong because the 3 of them say they hear it differently from my way, but they all hear it the same. Go figure. I usually tell people who don't speak Dutch/German to say "Lead-da-vie" real fast and mush it all together. That generally comes close to what I think the pronunciation is. Doesn't matter though, I generally answer to most anything that's close, including pauses when a new person is trying to figure it out. LOL

There was a movie a while back - The Fault in Their Stars (or something like that) - that had a main character with my name - spelled Lidewij. My mother had seen the name written most likely in cursive in the front piece of a family bible as a little girl. The bible was destroyed during WWII when her home was bombed in Rotterdam. I am fairly sure that 15 years later when she had me the spelling had gotten blurred in her memory.

Anyway, enough about me and my name. I'd like to know more about you and your game name? I suppose you've read my profile wall so you have an idea of the type of friend/player I try to be.

Thanks again for your kind invitation. I am looking forward to getting to know each other more and playing/helping together.
