My daughter lives with me. Her cat is Ophelia. She is Ophelia's mom, ergo, I am Opheliasgrandma. I misspelled it when I first went on line at the Clubhouse. So, forevermore on this site I will remain Oph(I)liasgrandma.

Mine is a real No-Brainer:
FSU for Florida State University and Anni, which is my nickname. I was named for my wonderful little Southern genteel maternal grandmother, named Annie; however my mother didn't want me to have a name that could be shortened or nicknamed, so she named me Ann. Everyone called me little Anni, so Anni I have stayed.

Seamonkey

Seamonkey came from belonging to an online community that had great people and a rather wacked listowner/diva who used her communities for her masters project and, well, over years of complications it was clear that she had all sorts of people subbed (we couldn't see that list) who considered the active list posters as their entertainment.

A friend on the list mentioned that she felt like she was part of an experiment, like a seamonkey in a bowl with little kids observing..

And we even had a small list called Seamonkies for awhile..

So.. I kinda liked it.

Mine is really nothing special. It asked me for a name and I couldn't think of anything original so I just put in Here I Am (one word) and it took it.

Now that I have it, whenever I type it in the mighty mouse song goes through my head - "Here I am to save the day" or something like that. Don't think I save many days but I do enjoy reading the posts.

Fsuanni, thanks for finding and bumping this thread up. I've never seen it before and it's great to begin putting some "reality" and history behind the names of all the posters I have enjoyed reading since BBI.

Mine is about as boring as it gets. When I created my eBay login 4-5 years ago, I could not find any unused numbes to go with bob. I decided to try higher numbers and they were taken too. Once I got into the 2000 range, I thought of the Rush album 2112 (which was my favorite album as a teenager). I tried bob2112 and the rest is history.

Lately I have become somewhat affiliated with a spongey character, but I'm not sure why. bob

I used to post as Demented Freak, as I registered around the time that Nicole BB2 said America was full of them, it seemed funny at the time. However, my dear Father has recently been diagnosed with a form of non Alzheimers Dementia, & the name didn't seem funny anymore, so I chose the most innocous name I could think of, potted plant.

Sunshinemiss, just read about your name,....here are some cyber hugs to get you through the Fathers day weekend. (((((Sunshinemiss)))))
Love is eternal.

I just read some posts I had left unread at 2am when I gave up and went to bed.

To both ((((Sunshinemiss)))) and (((Pottedplant)))
my prayers go up for you and I'm sending positive vibes to you both. To everyone in similar situations, remember the good times. When negative thoughts or fears enter your mind, replace them with a positive affirmation or just smile, even if it hurts. And losing someone close to us, whether to death or to illness, allows us the privilege of hurting and feeling and taking just as long as we need to heal.
PottedPlant is right. Love IS eternal. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I sense a family here. J A good place to come when we need to rest, to vent, to feel loved.

Sunshinemiss...I just read your story, thanks for the one that bumped it up...I am sitting here with tears rolling down my eyes, it was sooo touching! I lost my dad at 23 yrs old and my Mom a few years ago(6-25) is the anniversary of her death, so June is always a hard month for me. Just wanted to let you know this 1st year will be the hardest due to all the 1st's(first dad's day, first christmas, first bday, etc) but with each passing year the saddness turns to remembering the fun and great memories. When I lost my Mom I felt so alone(I am an only child, and my parents were only children, so I don't have brothers/sister/aunts/uncles/first cousins. I was a single mom with a 1 1/2 yr old, he was the reason I got out of bed each day. Anyway...I wanted to share something that helped me, especially the first year. After my Mom died I made a video montage of her, using clips of old videos we had taken thru the years and filming still shots of photo's from our albums, I added special music to the still shots part and ended it with a montage of pics of my mom and dad with the last pic being their wedding picture playing the song 'we've only just begun'. That helped cuz I knew she was sooo happy to be in heaven with my dad. Now I play the video whenever I am feeling down and it always makes me feel better.
Thoughts and prayers are with you this weekend, Sunshinemiss

Kaili

Okay- here I am...my screenname is...yep...it's my name! I have to use it as a screenname or else I'll forget what my screenname is! Just as I use the same password for everything, I keep my name for everything.

Sorry- nothing exciting here BUT I can share where my mom came up with my name. She had a friend named "Kai" (male) whose name she really liked. When I was born, however, I turned out to be a girl. She added "li" (to be pronounced LEE) to the end and ever since, my name has been mispronounced by person after person as "KAY-LEE". I guess I should just be happy I'm not Kaiette! I'd be called "kite" all the time!

So, how do you pronounce your name Kaili? I would have thought Kay-Lee too.

Kaili

Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 11:08 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
KI-LEE (Kai rhymes with why plus lee). My high school gym teacher never got it right- now if I hear Kaylee I acknowledge it because I assume they mean me. Got really confusing last semester when I actually had a "Kay-lee" (written Caley) in one of my classes!

I will guess KI-LEE (as in the River Ki).

Well that was my guess, but it took me too long to post :)

The daughter of one of my coworkers is named Kylie - pronounced the same as yours. :)

That's how I have always thought it should be spelled, Gail. It's becoming more of a common name so on the rare instances that I hear it, it's usually a little kid.

I wonder if my name will even be on those license plate key chains and pencils...I actually found it ONE time (with my spelling) in a baby name book.

Hey, Seamonkey, I remember my older brother sending away for a package of "sea monkeys" when we were kids. We were convinced that they were alive and that they looked like the illustration in the magazine where he found the ad. (The drawing made them look kind of like sea horses with heads and faces like Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat!) Are sea monkeys really just brine shrimp, or are they something else? And are they "alive?" The sea monkeys my brother ordered arrived dried in a packet like a seed-packet for the garden and we reconstituted them with water. I don't remember if salt was required or not! It was fun and your post brought back some fond memories.

Well this has got to be one of the all time best threads at the TVCH :)

I would love it if someone with some free time on their hands would orginize a "Top 10 Threads" vote thread and do a tally.

So maybe something like - each person can list their top 3 (or 5?) favorite threads here ever and you'd calculate it from there - anyone? 5 would be much easier for us voters but probably alot harder for the one doing the tabulations lol. (picking top 3 would be painfully tough LOL :)

My #1 will always and forever be the synchronicity
