Window Cleaners on the Isle of Man (Marsha M here is the explanation to my reply on your post.)

Years ago I attended a writing group. I was the only member who was not partially sighted, but that is by the way. My story is about the time we were given a challenge to get published. I have told my story about how for much of my childhood I thought God was the window cleaner in another post on Mylot and it is the beginning of my book I am about to publish. However, then, it was something I had almost forgotten. I wrote the story and sent it to the American Window Cleaners Journal. They published it and that is where the fun began. I kept getting emails. They were all from male window cleaners and all of them assumed I too, was a man. Even more odd was that they came from the Isle of Man from different people and they were all Jehovah's Witnesses. Eventually, I asked someone why. Apparently there ARE a lot of people who are male window cleaners who are also witnesses living on the Isle of Man. This is something I would never have known had I not sent a story to the American Window Cleaners journal. And it is also very strange because of course, the Isle of Man is not in the US. Anyway, that was the first time my name ever appeared in print.
