momtoamiracle Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 momtoamiracle - it was a miracle I ever had a child. Before my son I had one m/c and two ectopics - nearly dying in the process. Lost a tube and most of my fertility. After months of trying and fertility treatments, was finally able to conceive and carry him to term. Tried to have another but with increased infertility and more loss, so we have only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am having an extreme case of thinking I've played Rainbow Six or Halo with someone with Barbecue in their name...could that be you? Most likely! Other than myself or DH, I've never seen another "Barbecue" name. It was probably Halo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBasil Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 When I was 10-11 one of my favorite books was From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Until my late teens I had never heard of the custom of addressing a woman by her husband's full name, so I assumed that that the Basil E. Frankweilers had a ridiculously long name and, in my head, shortened it to Mrs. Basil. When I signed up here I went with that because I couldn't think of anything else. The avatar is because I like Perry. I've thought about changing it to the character from my favorite cartoon ever, but no one besides me ever knows who Freakazoid is and I've gotten lots of nice comments about Perry.

Parrothead Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yes it is! That was back on Halloween, she was a little love bug. You can't see the wings, but she was so cute. I put makeup on her cheeks and nose *sigh* She's not crawling anymore. She's walking now *sniff sniff* and climbing *grumbles grumbles grumbles* Still got the good kissable cheeks though! They are noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juniper Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I loved my first username, but it was known to someone I wish didn't know it. It was the name of my first and favorite dog. Juniper is from my favorite childhood book, Wisechild by Monica Furlong. I loved the strong character of Juniper and I admired the Catholic author for deftly handling the subject of witchcraft. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymomofboys Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I chose a username very similar to this for my email address back when I first became a SAHM. I was then a rather depressed mom of boys and I thought typing "happymom..." every day, sometimes multiple times a day, would help me feel like a happy mom. I used this username on other message boards when I started thinking about homeschooling. I'd say for the most part it has worked and I do feel like a happier mom. That could be because my kids are growing up and I'm maturing as a mom. But I think that if I'd called myself "grumpymom" or "miserablemom" I probably would have stayed that way a lot longer.

WistfulRidge Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Most likely! Other than myself or DH, I've never seen another "Barbecue" name. It was probably Halo. Small world - I don't play but my DH has spurts of time where he loves to play Halo. He's probably played with and/or against you because I distinctly remember a time where he was like "Oh, some has Barbecue in their name. Now I really want pork chops..."

La Texican Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I snagged my hubby's e-mail addy and turned it girly by adding LA, thinking I was also clever since I'd rather live in L. A. (ca, not Lousianna) than South Texas. It is an endless summer here too. At least there's that. I had to google quickly because I think my hubby's email addy has something to do with ZZ Top and I wanted to make sure it wasn't the song related to the famous "Chicken Ranch". After I got married the lady at the social security office asked which name I wanted (maiden or married). I asked for my husbands full name. The lady thought it was funny. She said it was a good sign that I really wanted to be married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My name was one I used on another internet forum that dh helped me think of(as I'm terribly uncreative).

It is very vague and unidentifiable and since this is a large and open board I didn't want anything that would make it super easy to identify me.

TrixieB Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yes, she does!!! These were my favorite books when I was a kid. I continued to buy them well into my high school and maybe even my college years because I wanted to have an entire set to pass onto my daughters one day. Imagine my horror when my mother gave them all away to a friend's daughter. Not loan -- GAVE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I would have cried. And I'd still be crying. I love my Trixie books and only regret that I didn't buy all of the final four volumes. I was in college at the time, and a bit embarrassed about the two I did buy. I borrowed them via ILL a few years ago so I could finally read them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyable Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My dh saw "amyable" on a vanity plate one day, and I liked it, so it stuck.

Brii_Dreams Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I made up a similar penname to this one as a child and later used it for my first Internet account (writing site). I soon felt it was a bit childish for early teen me and created another penname to use on other sites (a pretty generic one if Google is to be believed). When I decided to create an account here, I decided I didn't want to use my typical one and altered the first penname to fit me more: I am a true daydreamer and could easily spend hours a day just inside my head.
