Tea 4 Three Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have been on these boards for a long time, and it just dawned on me today that my user name may have a terrible connotation!! I chose it because at the time, we lived in a little town named tea, I had 4 dc, three of whom were of homeschooling age...Thus Tea 4 Three. BUT...I have become aware that the word "tea" has an additional meaning on this board, and is used interchangeably with the word "s*x." EEWWWW!!!!:eek: I don't want to start another account because I don't want to have to start at zero with my post count again. Help!?!?

swellmomma Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 :lol: I never thought about your user name and "tea" until you brought it up. Now I will never be able to read your user name again without cracking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to contact the moderator somehow (look for a Contact or Help link, maybe even on the WTM main home page, not this forums page). Last I heard it can take months; hope not for you! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Send a note to the mods if it really bugs you. But be careful about books, too. And who knows what else we might come up w/? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 We have a number of posters who have Tea in their name. And no one has teased them or made crude comments. I'm sure the moderators would change it is you wanted them to but really it's ok if you want to keep the name too.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I admit I do giggle a little when I see users with "Tea" in their names. :lol: I think Tea as a location is even better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Now I'm trying to figure out where "Tea" is located. Never heard of that as a town name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 :lol::lol::lol: As soon as I saw your thread title and then looked at your name, I cracked up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Don't fret. Lots of posters have tea in their board names, and most of those had their names before the tea conversation. Sure we may giggle like a gaggle of school girls for a moment, but we are all adults here. We will get ourselves under control and move on to more serious or even other silly matters in no time at all. Just think of the three as me, myself and I and all will be well. If you really must change it though, you can email the mods but they have said it can take months for them to get to the matter. Sorry but we promise not to hold it against you either way. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeTea Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 OP: You have a lovely name. Please don't change it. Us "Tea Girls" have to stick together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yeah....but Tea for THREE has to be the best one yet as far as :001_huh::tongue_smilie::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Honestly, I wouldn't put that much thought into it. Even if some ladies on this board see it and giggle, no one is going to automatically think you are advertising a ... well, you know. And if they do, then I'd worry much more about that person and not about you at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea 4 Three Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words ladies, and for laughing with me. When that realization hit me, sitting all alone in front of my computer screen, I blushed in embarrassment.:blush: Then I had a good laugh about it. At least I now have the truth on record in case any one pegs me for a perverted weirdo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaTotaler Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Keep your board name.
