Impostors

I've used the handle "Triedit" since 1999. A lot of people are also using it and many of them I'm not too pleased to be "associated" with.

My first clue was on twitter. I was getting notifications on posts I had nothing to do with. Posts were tagged with I triedit online--which is a sex toy seller. We chatted and worked it out so that she remembers to type it as triedit.online . Then there is Instagram. Lots of people tagging with #Triedit. Now, I have an instagram account but have yet to post anything there. And I most certainly did not post THIS:

There are "quotes" too...https://www.yourquote.in/tags/triedit/quotes

And T-shirts

There's even a file on your computer- triedit.dll I don't know what it does, but it is NOT a virus of any kind.

There's a youtube video and even an entry in Urban Dictionary defining "Tried'it" as A person who has made an attempt at doing something amazing, cool, awsome or even witty and FAILS miserably. That person has "tried'it." That one is more correct than I'd like to admit.









This facebook is not me but this one is



A good rule of thumb when trying to figure out if something is really mine; look for my logo. My wonderful friend Trish Ess designed it for me years ago. If you see this, there's a good chance it is actually connected to me.

What an odd title for a blog, right?

"Tam's Coat" is something I couldn't sleep until I started. It all began March 2019 in Richmond, VA. I was on vacation and passing through to visit my friend Tam. Because we were going to the North Carolina beaches from Toronto, Ontario, I didn't bring a winter coat. I figured I wouldn't need it.

I was wrong.

Tam offered me a coat. Knowing she didn't have a lot of money, I was hesitant to accept. She said she had many, so I agreed. She gave me two. As soon as I put on the blue one, I felt the love she always sends. I felt protected, and happy. That's the influence Tam has on my soul. It felt like I could be my true self in that coat. It was a gift beyond just keeping my body warm; it keeps my soul warm.

I'm not very good at keeping up with projects, so I am not promising anything. I will post when I feel like it, about what I feel like saying. It may not be to your liking. If it isn't, go away. I'm not here to please you.

I'm an avid Facebook user and a rabid Twitter user, but sometimes things are just too long or complicated for those platforms. Sometimes, too, I say things I later wish I had quick and long term access to. I'm going to put that stuff here.

I'm a displaced Southern Crone. An old witch, if you will. I like sweet tea and Jim Beam (not together) and I fry a lot of things. I'm a researcher by trade, although I've been off work over a year due to a motor vehicle accident. Said accident also left me with some minor brain damage so I tend to forget things and repeat stories like an old man.

My "real" website is triedit.net, which is home to my research stuff, swag options, and my one name study for the surname Pyatt/Piatt. It's currently down for an upgrade. I had to relearn everything due to the brain stuff, so it's taking an inordinate amount of time.

"Tam's Coat" is a place where I will be myself, just like wearing the coat does for me. If you enjoy it, please don't hesitate to comment.
