For the last like two weeks occasionally I will see the ongoing call timer in the upper corner of my screen, and when I go to click on it, it says spam likely. I haven't heard any audio from any of them, so I'm not sure it's actually an ongoing call, but that's what my phone shows. Even with the call screen and everything when I open it.

This does not happen with phone numbers that are in my contacts, I've been called by my family and boyfriend since this started and those show up with the regular incoming call screen with the option to accept or hang up. Spam calls don't.

I can't find any settings for this or anyone else talking about this but it's kind of worrying that this is going on. Please help.

We've been dating since the fall, medium distance and we're both huge nerds so we only saw each other once or twice a month during classes, but we do call/text regularly. It being summer now too we're planning more regular dates. To be clear this is not my complaint, I went into this intentionally seeking a relationship like this, just trying to explain our dynamic.

I changed my name legally at the end of high school. No particular reason except that I just didn't like my old name. But since I chose my name myself, it does hold a lot of significance to me. The whole thing. To maintain some anonymity I won't say my name, but it is just a combination of two very common names. Similar types of names would be Rosanne or Mariangel. My particular combination is not popular in the US, but the building blocks are.

Despite the significance of my full name, I accept that most people will end up shortening it anyways so I preemptively introduce myself as the first half (let's say Rose to continue the example.) but I still write my name as Rosanne, and go by that in larger settings (like class.) My private Instagram is also under Rose (public is Rosanne but I deactivate it a lot,) but being that almost everyone on there was friends with me in hs except my boyfriend, they were all aware of the name change and know that my full name is Rosanne.

Anyways, since meeting my boyfriend I have both told him verbally and texted him a couple times that My Full Name Is Rosanne. I have told him that I changed my name after high school. I told him just last week that there was a typo on an award I got that made it say "Rosenne."

I just saw him yesterday for the first time since finals season and we were hanging out talking and LinkedIn got brought up. He went to go find my profile and said it wasn't coming up. I looked at his phone and saw he kept typing "Rose." I jokingly said "Oh it's under my full name do you not remember it haha" AND HE DID NOT! Did not remember that. He did apologize and I typed it in for him but idk man like I'm sad.

That hurt tbh that he doesn't even know my full name. Being that he's y'know my boyfriend, I would expect that more from him than from random people I talk to on campus who have only heard my full name once. But I have no clue how to go about telling him this. Genuinely none. It's not something that I thought I would have to say like, "hey you have to learn my name at some point." I don't care if he knows my middle names (I do have multiple) but I feel like first/last is a very very basic thing to know some like six months into dating. How do I even bring this up?

TL;DR: Boyfriend only knows the shortened form of my name. Made me sad to find out. How do I talk to him about this?

I swear on every fiber of my being that I have seen multiple convertible 4 poster beds made into canopy beds with an arched wire frame that fits underneath the cap of the posters. I have seen this on an old forum and in one episode of Decorating Cents where they took the canopy off of the bed. Now of course that I want to attempt to recreate that look with my own 4 poster bed, I can't find either case or any other reference for it. I know some beds had it built in but I'm specifically referring to the ones which had a wire frame.

I specifically want that arched canopy look that was popular in the 70s/80s. I have some lace curtains to place around the posters, and one for the top, but I can't figure out the frame. I imagine there's got to be some way to shape a thicker wire maybe around a bucket to get that arch, and then make some connection pieces to go across the top and hold the two sides together. If anyone can help me figure out how this is done, or find images of it, I would be very grateful.
