    I have used cleb since 1995... the internet was new and I was lazy... CLB are my initials... I added a vowel... I pronounce it like celebrity... Around 2001 or 02 I ran into a site that already had a cleb... well crap... what does a lazy user namer do... I added my location... I live just outside buffalo, NY...

    "Goomba" Nickname for my son. Came from Nintendo, those evil little mushroom people in Mario-land. When my son was less than a year old, he was constantly crawling. He'd get underfoot and my hubby and I would trip over him.
    + mom

    you get the story :)

    I have been taking flamenco classes for 7.5 years. My original photo was from a flamenco recital, but I changed it to a pic when I was in Madrid, seeing lots of flamenco shows!!!!!!!

    My dad always called me Slim, little did he know I'd eventually have trouble staying that way. The rest is my birthday. Super exciting right?

    Majority of people don't like giving flat out compliments so they'll say silly things like "You're pretty to be fat, or she has a pretty face, or you're too pretty to have all that weight, have you ever considered doing this or that" ect ect:frown:

    I was always at least a head taller than my classmates and by the first year of high school, I was 5'10"--awkward for a girl in the '60s.

    At a school dance, a boy much shorter that I was (like most of the population) made the comment, "Sheesh, what an Amazon!"

    It stuck--there you go! BTW, I didn't stop growing until I reached 6'1".:wink:

    And wish I had a dollar for every person who said, "Oh, your tall, you don't have to worry about your weight." Newsflash--I can gain 25 pounds before I notice a change in my dress size--not good!

    In my last big, huge, scary, drug-induced weight loss, I belonged to a site called Tales From the Scale, which was very cool. We would weigh in on Tuesdays. I took to saying, "Onward and downward! (Scale-wise)" and it just has remained as the one positive from that time.

    I gained it all back because drugs don't work, but here I am and the attitude is the same. Onward and let's see those numbers go downward.

    It's my twitter name, which my friends came up with when I signed up for twitter. It's 'MC is better than you' -I'm not egocentric, it just kinda stuck as a username that isn't always taken.

    In 1999, I climbed Mount Castelluzzo in Italy. It's not really a mountain, just a bump on a hillside. But it has special significance to those who know who the Waldenses are. If you don't know, google it and have a nice history lesson. :)

    When we were kids my brother would always say "Kassie Lassie with a big fat assie" (and hell I was tiny then!) ha

    Well, my first job was a drug runner disguised as a cyclist. My code name was Mare, a pun on mule, which means sea in Latin.

    Hmmm, maybe some of that isn't true. I run and live near Seattle.

    I love how this older post got resurrected which is good because I changed my username recently :bigsmile:

    I was susank66 but I thought that was kind of boring and lacked creativity so...

    I have a Mustang that I only drive in the summer and my friends here on mfp started calling me Mustang Susie (for the song Mustang Sally) and it stuck!

    These are fun to read.

    MissStick - I'm a woman that uses a white cane = Miss Stick. Put the two words together though and it sounds like mystic and I thought that sounded kinda cool.
