    ah mines a story of two parts... a ex boyfriend had already dated a charlotte and so called me lottie... which caught on and now very few know me as charlotte... at uni apparently 6 letter names are too long and my housmates called me totts...with 5 letters being seemingly acceptable... *shrugs*

    and the pix bit starts many years ago when a wee bit tipsy in a chat room getting ready for a night out i was applying sparkley make up and somehow it became known as my pixie make up... and so my old username got forgotten and the username pixielottie was born, since then it has become my email address, many usernames, and my cat got named pixie (also known as pix, poo, and stupid) . I created this account not expecting to ever use it, i tracked calories using something else on my phone but my phone was being silly so i had turned to paper, and googling for how many calories there were in something found this place, and not wanting something i never ever use (ha! been here every day since...) to get mixed up with things i do use it became pixtotts... :D

    mine is some sort of secret handshake. The letters part goes with the numbers part and I have actually had friends pm me knowing exactly who I am. This was an unintended consequence but now that I know people do get it I really love it.

    Woodmangler - I have been doing woodworking for over 30+ years, and one time I was making chairs that needed steam bent oak parts. A friend of mine saw me manhandling the steamed pieces into their drying forms and made the comment "hey, you're mangling the wood there... woodmangler..."

    Have used that name forever it seems... on forums or games or whatever...

    I spent most of my life being the non-threating guy who kept getting friend-zoned because "Oh, he's nice, but I don't think of him that way... I mean... he's just Al"

    Plus when I ever went to visit my relatives on my Dad's side he was "Big Allen" and I was "Little Allen" but with a southern accent.

    I never liked being called "Lil' Allen" so I've always wanted to be called just Al.

    313 is my birthday and I've had to add it to most of my online usernames because somewhere else there's somebody using JustAl and always seems to be me to it.

    I should have gone with 603 for my area code but that ship has sailed.

    First Name/Last Name/Year I was born.
    With every site out there needing a username, trying to keep it simple..
  • My first initial and last name. I'd be xman but it was taken. I've been xman since before there was an internet and am always disappointed when it's taken.

    I have 3 boys. When I had my third son, the Bible verse about a "three fold cord can not be broken" was laid upon my thoughts. And "chord" being like notes that blend together to sound nice....

    So, I used "3foldchord' as my homeschool blog name. And it is better for not being found here on MFP by people who mainly just know my current email, Facebook name....LOL

    I found MFP about 20 pounds into my weight loss, from an internet search for ..rita's ice while looking for nutrition. I had to sign up to see the stats, so I did. 21 is the day my daughter was born. I had no plans to actually use the site when I found it back in April. Now I am on day 135 :happy:
