Dear Spiders,

I have just connected two stray bits of information.  American Morning
Glory = British Convulvus.  After all this time looking at Honiton
patterns with Convulvus in them and thinking they looked terribly
familiar, I finally know what they are.

Being the child of Puerto Rican parents, we had to navigate some
interesting cultural issues.  I didn't know I had a Grandma, like other
kids, because I didn't know what a Grandma was.  "I" had an Abuelita
(Spanish for Grandma) and she was OK, whoever she was.

I remember this exchange with my mom.
"Mom, who is Abuelita?", as I wrote a thank you for the delightful gift
of cash for my birthday
"She is your father's mother"
"OK"  (Still didn't know she was my grandma, and by the time I did, she
was Abuelita and that was that.)

So Newbies and Lurkers, take note.  Even if you don't know the "proper"
term for something you want to know about, or figure out, just call it
like you see it and your question, or observation, or comment will
probably shed light for a lot of other Spiders, too.
