How Did You Choose Your Screen Name?



Recommended Posts

It's just my first name. It was available and I didn't have to add any numbers or anything else to it.

Kala. That's me :)

My name is Amanda, but since I was in Jr. High my friends have called me Mina as a nickname. Now everyone (aside from my best friend who calls me Manda) calls me Mina, even my mom. Apparently my neighbor's sister, who is also named Amanda, used to babysit a kid who couldn't say her name so he called her Mina. And Leigh is my middle name. Mina Leigh. :)

I USE TO BE A RAPPER/POET, AND THAT WAS MY STAGE NAME, "MINNIE FAISES/MANY FACES". I USED IT BECAUSE I'M A MULTI-FACETED PERSON, AND I CAME FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT ANGLES, INTERESTS & TALENTS.

Willow was my favorite character in a movie by the same name "Willow" in the 80's starring Val Kilmer, I also loved the name so I use it for my e-mail and any screen name I need I even named my basset hound Willow I guess the name just stuck with me. I would've named my daughter Willow but her father wasn't haven't it.

Mine is my nickname, shortened from Melissa to just Lissa... and it's said just like it would be if the Me were still in front of it, not Lisa.

It was a childhood nickname one of my uncles gave me.

Mine is simple, I live in the desert and I'm a large rodent with a pointy nose and a long tail. OK, I was lying about the rodent part. :) I just figure it's a good name for a crusty old guy that lives in the desert.

Mine is a nickname my husband gave me. On one of our very first dates somehow the name game came up and he apparently thought it was so cute that I sang it. I'm Jan so janjan BoBann stuck and he had ever since called me BoBann. I like it. It's simple. :)

Well, mine originally was Mommy2Girls, but then I changed it to be shorter, M2G (plus after a couple of people who didn't want to type that out would say Mommy...lol, sounds wierd coming from anyone other than your kids!)

But I have two girls so not only am I a Mommy OF 2 girls but I'm a Mommy TO girls (don't know what it's like to raise boys!) so I thought that Mommy2Girls cleverly associated the two ideas.

M2G is much easier to type out!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
