What's in a Name



Recommended Posts

Naturally my name is Jim. My best girlfriend in Virginia had a friend named Jim also. As I was her husbands boss, she started calling me Jimboss as not to confuse her little girl about who she was speaking of when she mentioned "Jim".

I'm originally from Virginia. Born in Georgia but raised in and around the Richmond Va area. My lovely bride and I moved to South Dakota in 1996 and have been here ever since. We do miss Virginia though. And we would go back but all of our kids are here as well as grandbabies, so it would be tough to abandon all of that.

I am the Power Plant Manager with the South Dakota State Penitentiary.

I think that says it all.

Bill, in Oshkosh, WI. I'm at the point where the Surgeon is going to submit a letter of determination to my insurance co. Keep your fingers crossed!

My name is a combo, Im Victorious in Christ, (and only because of Him), and my favorite movie is Polyanna, and my favorite era in time is the Victorian one. So no great mystery how I came up with Victoriana. I have the Irish name of Kathleen, by gosh and begorah.

Hi everyone!

My name is Tracy. (from WI) Bubby is a nickname that my DH and I called each other while we were dating. When we first got married we lived in the country near a small blow by town of Bussyville so we named our home Bubbyville. (ah what stupid things you do when you are in love).

Hi! My name is Anna and anything I say on LBT is just "my point of view" and subject to reality. Hence, my p.o.v.

Well, I guess I'm the second Kartrina on this site, except my name has an extra 'r' in it (silent). And speaking of the hurricaine, I went through that thing down there....went through 4 of em before I got out of Florida. Anyhoo...my username comes from what my DH sometimes says when he calls me. "I'm looking for my blue eyed baby" Do ya wanna guess what color my eyes are? :party:

Hi my name is Tammy. I am 34 and live in Washington.

I have my name for 2 reasons. First and mainly, because I only have one life to live and also because it is my favorite soap to watch!

My name is Nathalie Grace Adams. NGAdams.

I used to have the nickname NGAplz because I think it's funny, though it's not exactly PC, and can be hurtful to people. Dave Chappelle doesn't think so though, but I'm not Dave Chappelle. I also didn't think it would be appropriate for LBT. So I'm just NGAdams

Hello Everyone,

My name is Stacy... which is the first part of my username, the rtl stands for: ready to loose. Like everyone else, that is what my goal is. Kind of boring, but it is what it is I guess.

This has been a nice thread to read thru.:clap2:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
