Clearly I have a little bit of thinking time on my hands as I wait for the cable guy to come...I miss you all on the board BTW...but things are slowing down!!!

Where did everyone's screen name come from? When C and I talk about board folks we usually refer to them by their board names (unless we know their real names and speak to them more frequently). I'm just curious where your names came from!

Have an awesome day everyone!

Queer coupled and having a BABY with the love of my life! Love my life and wouldn't have it any other way!

    Unfortunately, when I originally joined approximately 1 million years ago, people weren't really doing witty screen names.  So mine is totally boring, and just a combination of S's and my initials.  Wah wah ....

    Glad to see you posting this morning, I hope everything's going well with the new house!

    Thanks @JGY‌ So far so good! Just exhausting!

    My SN came from a website I was running a few years ago. Sadly I don't have much time to devote to it lately.

    Good Morning :-)   Hope you are getting settled into your new house!! 

    My screen name came from an old nickname EV gave me "Jazibel" = "Jazzy Belle" which comes from an Outkast song. I don't know how my spelling of it came about?  When we first moved in together back in 2000 I wasn't into hip hop or rap music but EV was and well after a few years she has definitely converted me ;-)  At least well enough that we can share music on road trips.

    Mine is completely lame.  Just mine and R's name.  I have the hardest time with screen names.   I have been using Laggar since I was 13 (back in the good old days of AOL IM) and I decided not to use that here because well it isn't even a real word I just misspelled a word while the dictionary was open right in front of me.  FAIL...

    Me: 30  DP: 30

    Since high school people have been calling me "hi-meh" since my name is Jaime but my friends spell it Himee. I've had a ton of nicknames growing up. James, Jay, Himee and most recently Juan or Juan Diego. 33 is because I was 33 when I signed up.

    I really just couldn't think of a screen name and since I am a police officer, I thought my screen name suited me. There was not a lot of thought behind it. My real name is Amber!
