What's in a name?

[Lulu54]

Your screen/usernames often leave me wondering - just like those vanity car license plates that spell out cryptic messages. So I would like to know more about your screen name - is there a story behind it that you would like to share?

My name - Lulu - isn't what I started out with.  A couple months into this when I realized I would be sticking around here, I thought everyone else has a *fun* name, why shouldn't I do the same?

We have a dear friend who has a habit of calling all of us women friends *Lulu* when we gather to play cards.   Alzheimers runs in his family and he often says knowing all of us by one name now will be helpful later on.    He uses it as a term of endearment part of the time and as a curse other times.  :-)

I also think of this MiSerable disease as one lulu of a hand to be dealt.  

Just plain *Lulu* was already taken so I put my birthyear behind the name - hence Lulu54.

So in a nutshell, that's the story behind my username.  

What's your story?

[Cre8_it]

I'm liking this thread!  So interesting.  

Well mine is not too hard to guess, I'm very creative...don't ever stick to one creative outlet.  I'm all over the map, painting, drawing, designing jewelery, making lamps, graphic art, restoring old photos, reupholstering furniture. So I create it.  I usually use cre8-it for pretty much everything.

[JSSL]

What a great read :)

While going through the process of getting Dx'd, I was reminded how family support is number one for me. JSSL is the combination of all of our first initals.

We have so many new names here again it is time to dust this one off and get all the newbies to add their explanations.  This makes for a very good read............

[BOK2Bjan]

Because this has been so fun to read - I'M LATE - and I hardly get a chance to be late, cause I don't go anywhere except the Dr and Church - ha!  But today, I get to meet with family for lunch and a movie.

I was upset I couldn't get a name to be accepted here.  I tried my usual - taken.  Then down the line I went.  I couldn't believe my name, date, etc. were taken!  So - I decided it would be OK to just be Jan.  Hence BOK2Bjan.  Of course I had to figure out how to have the caps and lower case easy to remember!!!  But, would you believe - if I have to - I forget?  Of course you believe it!

Lulu - I was born in 54 also!  But I think we've realized that before?  Who knows?  Now where was I going?

(Just glad I can still move sometimes!) AMEN!

Blessings, Jan

I'm Ojibwe and I am married to a Navajo. I joke that our son is Ojibajo. Ojibwe+Navajo=Ojibajo!

TimC is first and last but was taken when I signed, and I was feeling kind of old when I signed in so I tacked in the Mister.

Uh, Doug, now I'm curious... How did you know that it was Bob Dylan who turned The Beatles on to cannabis for the first time?
