    I am a mom and I love butterflies, just not it the cutsie way. I think of a butterfly as a new life or a rebirth. I was in a bad place many years ago with no hope and for me the butterfly symbolizes hope and life. I have a tattoo on my left arm as a reminder of second chances.

    It is interesting how people chose their screen names.

    Mine is the nickname that one of my volunteer staff gave me and it just caught on.

    Long story short: My name is Robb. Not many people who are named "Rob" have 2 bs. So, this gal started calling me Rah Buh Buh so that the extra B is pronounced. I love it. Many of my students and friends now call me Rahbuhbuh instead of Robb.

    Of course because everything is better with bacon. And I think its a little sarcastic to have a fatty name when you are trying to lose weight. Oh and because I'm not fat I'm just wrapped in bacon. Lol

    mines a bit boring but my real name is Ellie, i shorten it to LE on forums etc (same sound, less letters) le was taken along with all the other variations i could think on so i picked Justle which actually is JUST LE - just ellie - i thought it worked out well.

    haha thanks! I actually did this when I was 11 years old because I was tired of people trying to derive things from a screen name. Ever since, I have memorized those letters and created screen names using them :P

    Mine was a nickname given to me by my sister in law. Probably because my are real and not bought like hers were at that time. And it kind of stuck. :)

    My dad made it up, he knows I'm a huge Jamiroquai fan, and one day I wore the bands signature Peruvian hat and my dad just called my JamiroJunior! So I used it here knowing it would be a unique username. :smokin:
