Lilith is a biblical character, who was Adam's first wife, made out of dirt like Adam. The story goes she refused to bow to Adam per God's command, and instead pretty much walked out. She ended up the Queen of Hell, mother to all kinds of demons. I thought it was a nifty story. I added an extra "l" because people were asking me if I was a big fan of the Lilith Fair (not). 32 is my favorite number. Also, I was about 15 when I picked out that particular handle... it's been with me for a long time.
Biblical??? I don't think so, lol.
Edit. Sorry, I guess I was wrong (not about the story, but about the word - I only read in English - but apparently it's Hebrew.) Learn something new every day.

Mine really silly - it is from a great holiday my partner and I had in Mississippi. We visited Chattanooga and Vicksburg (war sites). In gas stations , convenience shops, diners people would call us "Bubba". Sure it was friendly term - 1922 is the year of birth of my lovely father ( now deceased).1

College football being my favorite sport. Visit as many stadiums as I can just to be a spectator. I don't have to even have a favorite team. I used to tell people: Give me the two worst college football teams on the coldest day with the worst seats in the house, and I will still go...1

That is so funny! When I first moved here the freaking grasshoppers were everywhere....You'd walk through the grass and thousands would hop up...I can't imagine toads like that!1 -
