    I'd rather not use my name, so I guess Lou is ok? MommyLouLou (or sometimes with an "s" on the end) is what my little girl calls me.

    You all can call me TTG, I guess. My real name is Kristi, so you could call me that too.

    I'll even answer to "Hey, you!" if necessary :tongue:

    Hmmmm....I need to pay a little more attention to the forums...

    SO many new people since I last read this thread!

    Welcome to you all! We will get around to the housekeeping of posting your nicknames up top in a few days.

    But in the meantime, let me add my Greeter Smile to the others.

    Be you background lurker or forum fiend, have fun, play safe, and journey carefully.

    More smiles,
    Mark

    So many new people recently - or at least more vocal older members :D Welcome all from the resident pigeon. I am working hard not to peck at your leftovers. I am terrible with names though, so I do apologise if you've let me know your preferred name here and I call you something else, memory is also that of a pigeon unfortunately. Just flap wildly at me and remind me if I call you something else.

    Canuname here you can call me Russ
    Came up with my user name because of online games I used to play. They always wanted you name your character (toons) so I figured Can u Name That Toon was a good name so started calling my characters Canuname if i wanted a last name it was Thattoon, anyway Russ is my real name and will work :-)

  • dinobunni = Bridget

    Hello all! I'm new. :) I love the idea of knowing people by name, it's much more intimate. I'll feel more accountable to you guys too lol.

    Welcome Bridget!

    You are quite right. There is something rather special going here. At least in my opinion.

    We are 147 members strong, and they have woven a wonder web of mutual support to exchange gogrrls and attaboys on their pals' home pages, but there is also a core group of active forum posters whose names you will learn quickly, and whose compassion, wisdom, and kindness will astound you.

    Oh...and Dan is here too. (Pay no attention to the nasty man.):wink:


    Post a little. Post a lot. Your call.

    BUT...if you...

    Log consistently. Move regularly. Hydrate properly.

    And if you are patient with yourself...

    You cannot fail.

    And we will cheer you on every step of the way!

    Good logging and good luck,
    Mark
  • Why thank you Mark! I hope to be one of your regular forum posters. :)

    Bah! Humbug! Snarl.

    Pay no attention to Mark, he is just jealous of my dazzling witticisms and stellar accountability (both of which have flown out the window for September... 8-/ ) Actually, we have become great friends and just shunt each other off to create drama and laughter, and I'm not so secretly envious of his walking accomplishments. --There are a lot of people on here I envy and look up too. I want to be just like them when I grow up (shrink down?) and be a normal sized adult!

    Be welcome Bridget, and congratulations on that stellar loss you have already accomplished!

    Yeah...it's true... * resigned sigh *
  • It is always interesting to hear how others' usernames have evolved :) I have been on the internet for many more years than I like to admit to - I started using 'katelyn' on Compuserve early on when a million baby girls had not been named Katelyn. It was short for Kathi Lynne. After some time Katelyn became so common that I added 'AL' ... basically 'katelynal' is Kathi Lynne in Alabama... so boring!! The only good thing about it - it is different enough that it is never ever taken when I sign up on a new site. (Is that nerdy enough??) :blushing: Anyhow, just call me Kathi ... or as most people seem to say 'oh, you are Kathy with an 'I'.
