    When I was a kid I used to pretend that digimon were real and I had three digimon partners. That was also the era that online really became common, so I named my accounts Tri-Avalon to mean three heavens, and it has stayed that way.

    Addie is my "in real life" nickname (it is pronounced like 80, and is a shortened version of my name which is Adrienne). Overhaul is because I am overhauling my lifestyle and my body!

    Awesome :) My friend was diagnosed a couple of years ago. Hearing the stories from her and the adjustments she's made to her diet has given me a new appreciation for my health...or even those days where I'm feeling "sick", I tend not to complain as much ;)

    As for my name, MFP cuts the whole thing off so now it just looks like I'm a smartass who also tells lies.

    My name is Liesl (full username: SarcasticLiesl). I picked out the username a couple of years ago when I first joined and wasn't feeling very creative. I'm highly sarcastic (often offensive) and I have a unique name.

    Damn dude that sucks. I was initially diagnosed with Crohn's when I was 11 years old, but further testing revealed it to be Ulcerative Colitis, which sucks in its own right. I will be fine for a few years, and them bam, it comes back in full force and I am bound to the nearest bathroom losing blood like a lacerated pig. Here is hoping for more advancements in intestinal diseases, colon cancer is no joke.

    My initials, including maiden and married. Also spells mother with no vowels. And I have 2 kids, so kinda "mother of 2" using my initials.

    Mine is painfully boring, first and last initials and month and year of birth.
    I have another screen name that I use all over the net but honestly when I started here I wanted a little anonymity/privacy so I used this one.

    It was in a Curious George episode. Bill was calling his escaped bunnies "Oh, Fluffy ! Brownie ! Oh Whitey ! Herbert
    Nenenger ! "
    It just struck me as off the wall and humorous.

    I joined the rowing team (crew) as a freshman in high school. After the initial spring season, I discovered there were summer and fall programs. I rowed for a total of eleven seasons in four years. Hence, nut4crew.

    There were green ice floes in lake Malar in Sweden, according to a book by Annemarie Selinko called Desiree. My mom had me read it when I was 10, and green ice floes seemed like the most wonderful things ever back then. Boring, but there you go.

    Nothing spectacular here... Just my initials and then Food for Life... To me, food for life means eating healthier to live a longer life... While at the same time meaning eating great foods that make life happier... Kinda like everything in life, the ying and yang, the balance... So I try to eat foods that are good and healthy for me most of the time... And on those occasions that I am out with friends and enjoying great friendships, laughter and decadent foods, I eat what I want and enjoy life... Life is too short to do anything but love it and live it to the fullest!!

    It is one of the few Gaelic phrases I know which means "nothing without effort". I thought it was very apropos for this.
