Fellow CANUCKS: User Name origin

[Woodys 0]

Mine isn't so interesting. Woodys is the name of our restaurant (from our last name which is Woodward).....we seem to use this name, or a derivitive (sp) thereof, for all of our "LOGINS"...we even use the same password for EVERYTHING....even our bank cards...this way, we'll never forget....LOL

Hiya Katgirl....welcome.

Hi also ~C~; you've been a member for awhile but I don't recall seeing you in the Canuck corner...(or I'm losing my mind!). So, welcome!

Ottawa is one of my hometowns (went to high school there and still have family there).

Lila is my stage name from my stripper days. I travelled the northern circuit I hope none of you have been to any of my shows!!!

Just kidding!!!!:biggrin1: :biggrin1: really it's a nickname my sister called when I was a teenager. she knew a girl named lila who she thought was a big loser (no, not in the weight lose area) and she thought i was too. So she called the same name. I think she forgot why she called me that but I never did. She sometime still calls me that but now more as an endearment.

Welcome Chyps and Kathyalso... no reason to be shy....and this could be fun.

Thanks Wheezy for the welcome... I have enjoyed reading everybody's stories and have learned a lot from all of you. I am still working on my sister!!

I tell ya, there are a ton of just nosey people on this forum!

Don't worry I am too.

I have been lurking on this site for a couple weeks now but have only recently registered since making the decision to Band.

The name I use on here is nothing special. Dame because I would like to be knighted and I don't think the Queen will be doing that anytime soon so I might as well do it myself.

And J because my real name starts with a J.

As for where I am from... I come from Toronto about 30 - 40 min from the good Dr. who will hopefully band me.

Hi Dame J! Welcome!

Well, my user name has a pretty corny beginning.

When I met my husband, his hobby was (and still is) working/playing on computers. I started calling him the "computer weenie" :nerd: .

Then I asked him to show me how to "tune up" my own computer (seriously, I really wanted to know how to work on a computer! It wasn't -just- a ploy to get closer to him...honest! ).

Well, when he had passed on enough information that I could seriously damage other people's computers we decided that I needed a name, but I couldn't be a "weenie" too, so I became "weenette".

I loved the Jeffersons and Wheezy was one of my favorite people!

My handle came as a gift from a dear friend. I shared her journey with colon cancer and a few months before she died, she gave me a gund bear - with golden angel wings. She told me that a golden angel bear was a symbol of my gardian angel - and she gave me my e-mail address and this handle.

I had a teenager (son) whose all grown up and doing very well on his own and now a teenage daughter (what a difference!). I have one more coming up and not due for another few years (thankfully I only have to survive one at a time!)
