Babyruth

My Mom's name is Ruth and I found a wonderful little babypic of her last year that is just too sweet for words, but anyway I thought of babyruth and then the candybar thing got thrown in too. (was my fave for a while as a kid)

Teatime

Urgrace, here's the only explanation I have:
Teatime; I adore tea and I am addicted to it.
Teatime; an udderly ridiculous attempt to join Kep and TKSoard's new club.
The first is more accurate. Cows are cute, but frankly they scare me.

Teatime, of course you can join our club!! We will call it "The Udderly Bare Hooters Club". How about that?!?!?!

No I'm not an old lady schoolteacher...I'm a fairly young professor. My research has to do with the one-room schools, thus "schoolmarm". Marm for short!

well I am not a john or a henry nor do I have a john henry. :)

Seriously though....when I was in Jr. High I had a science teacher who was always joking around and doing funny things. One day he told us not to forget to put our john henry on our paper and it was one of those rare days where I stepped out of the box and was silly enough to write My John Henry at the top of my paper. I was called JohnHenry from that day on by that teacher. I needed a screen name for boards and this just popped into my head. The rest is history.

Myjohnhenry, my sister had a teacher tell her that in Jr. High too (must be a Jr Hi thing!). She's a bit on the...um...shall we say "clueless side" sometimes. She dutifully wrote John Henry just as the teacher told her to do! It was the last class of the day, Mom was parked outside waiting to pick her up, and the teacher (who knew Mom) came out to the car with the paper, laughing and just shaking his head. He said, "you've just got to see what your daughter wrote down!" It's been one of our family jokes ever since.

My poor sis. We always have to explain jokes to her. She can't tell a joke to save her life! She's not stupid (actually she's pretty smart sometimes). She just..uh...processes information a bit differently/more slowly than others! But, she sure has given us lots of material to pick on her with over the years (our family shows their love by picking on each other!).

Oops, got a little of topic there, didn't I?

What a cute idea for a thread, that was really interesting.

Mine is taken from Clio, the Greek muse of history which is what my degree is in, and Leo, as in my sign (well, actually it's not, but it's ALMOST my sign and I have a lot of Leo qualities. Besides, "cliothevirgo" just doesn't sound as good.) :)

When it came to deciding on a name for my online life, I started to think about where I live. I live in a desert with lots of tumbleweeds and sage brush growing all around me, and decided that sage was a pretty cool sounding name. It has nothing to do with being wise, because just as soon as I think I'm wise, I discover I'm otherwise.

MyGetAway is MyGetAway.. {LOL}
It used to be the place I first came to after work, to wind down. Now it's the place I come to get away from the kids, hubby and the rest of my "home" life {LOL}. I also decided I liked the convenience of one name for everything. So this is the one I use :)

Bet you can guess what my real name is!! (that is, if you are a child of the 60's) The little boys in my class would always run past me saying "don't make her mad or Bewitched will turn you into a frog". I really wanted to change my name back then. lol

Let's see, can you guess my first name??? And we call our son "Boo Boo." We are desperately trying to stop, as he is nearing three. It is worse, because he has apraxia of speech. (It is a motor speech disorder, NOT a developmental delay. Basically it means that his brain knows what it wants to say, but a short circuit is preventing his mouth from getting the message to say it.) Anyways, because of this it is much easier for him to say "boo boo" than it is for him to say his real name. So he refers to himself as Boo-boo. Okay, bet that's more than ya wanted to know!

I have a question, I have heard of a "John Hancock" referring to a signature (because of the large JH signature on the Declaration of Indepence). But what/where does John Henry come from?

Julieboo, according to lexicologists “put your John Henry” is a bastardization or simplification of the phrase “put your John Hancock”. This was undoubtedly coined by the same simple folks who coined “Monkey Wards” for “Montgomery Wards” and generally can’t tell their Hancock from their Henry.

Mssil, as always it is a pleasure to learn more about you and I am, as usual, thoroughly impressed with your attention to detail.

Well, I am just sooooo creative and have sooooo many talents that I used my userid from work and kept it as my web name. Now, I have been known to use Snotyspook around Halloween.

You think I could have come up with something more creative, but I can't, and I have been using it for so long it doesn't bother me that it doesn't have personality. It's just me and that's just fine!
