In a nutshell--my name is Lori pronounced Lawri. Everyone calls me "Law" more than "Lori". Someone started calling me the "Lawster." Someone else thought they said "Lobster". Big joke, ha ha. Came here, needed name, being from New England and all, Lobster seemed appropriate. That and I have no imagination. The End.

need to go back to school for grammar and punctuation

I think my story might be the most pathetic of all... I lurked through most of BB2 and only joined TVCH near the end. I was always amused by these little icons everyone was signing their posts with, so I clicked on the clipart link and scrolled down. Guess which two caught my eye and were fairly close together? But thanks to those in the Chess thread that gave me a great new icon! If only I could figure out how to save it to my computer so I can keep using it!

Crazydog, lol! I thought you were a vetinarian and it had something to do with that. I swear I thought you posted that you were, somewhere on the board.

And here's this one.

Honey51

I'm going to show my age here. In the early 70s when CB radios were popular my handle was "honeydew." When I needed a screen name last year honeydew was taken so I dropped the dew and went with "honey."

(PS the 51 was my age at the time, I'm now a year older but will keep the 51.)

Love this thread - thanks guys 4 sharing :)

Would love to know other key names you've used on line as well :)


My screen name Whit4You - means Whitney 4 you

I started out online as SadEyes29F - was going through a very severe depression at the time - as I started to get better someone had asked me to change names 'fake it till you make it' - so I changed to Hope4Me - people online sadly can be so cruel and some lady named Hope - who was a part of a the group I belonged to at the time - got very upset that people called me Hope and gave me a very hard time about that - I kept asking people to call me Whit (or Sad as many called me at that time) but some still called me Hope since that was the name I was using. So finally I had to give up on my "Hope4Me" name - sad day.. I told my friend that'd asked me to change names that I was going back to SadEyes - he pleaded with me not to so I said ok fine I'll be Whit for you. Whit4You - has been my nick online ever since - hundreds know the name and it fits me well.

End of story. :)

My first name is Anja (sounds like Tonya without the T).

I am a Mama to (so far) two wonderful little boys.

Ok, resisted posting this for awhile, 'cause my Dad gave me my nickname/screen name and I just lost him about 12 weeks ago...trying not to be so sad, but in his memory..

After WW2, there were a lot of midwesterners that moved to California (or wanted to) My parents were in Nebraska and when I was born in 1958 (yikes, don't do the math) I had some respiratory problems and the doctors told them I would do better in a drier climate, so they packed us up and drove to Cal.. all the while singing the song "California here I come".. well, my Dad didn't have all the lyrics quite right, one of that last few lines is supposed to be "The SunkistMiss says don't be late, that's why I can hardly wait, open up that Golden Gate, California here we come", but my Dad would sing it the "SunshineMiss can hardly wait..." etc etc and by the time we reached California my little 4-year old self was forever the "Sunshine Miss".. got to be a family joke when someone finally corrected him on the words, but it fit my personality (most of the time pretty upbeat) and it stuck.

Right now it would be more appropriately SunshineMissesHerDad

What a beautiful story Sunshinemiss!! And please accept my thoughts and prayers in your time of loss. But what a wonderfull way to always remember him!

Oddly enough, one of the reasons we moved AWAY from California was cause of my asthma! The doc told Mom to move me to a drier climate too (isn't CA pretty humid?). Anyway, we ended up in Colorado! And MY dad, well, who knows where the heck he is! Talk about having an opposite life from yours, huh?

Thanks guys, your kind words help a lot. This place is soo wonderful. I do feel my Dad's spirit but I miss his hugs.

Who, it depends on what part of the state you are in. I am in the Central Valley, and it gets up to 110 and the ONLY consolation folks say is "at least it's a dry heat" !!! Not much consolation! Colorado looks like a beautiful place from what I've seen.

You are all so kind. Thank you for your good wishes, it is finally starting to get to the point where I can talk about it without choking up too much. It catches you unaware sometimes though, like seeing the Fathers Day stuff coming up. But talking about the good stuff helps immensely, so I'm glad I shared.

(My 2nd grader is my Sunshine-boy; I sing him "You are my Sunshine" every night before bed..passing on the tradition. I hope I haven't messed up any of MY lyrics, lol)
