fun thread -- names



Recommended Posts

The morning radio show I listen to in the mornings had an interesting topic yesterday. They were talking about last names, and if anyone does what their name says. You know, if anyone named Baker was a baker or things like that.

I thought that would make a fun topic here, so here goes.

My last name is Webb, and I spin as one of my many hobbies. Spin as in spinning wool, not the bike thing. Also, I work with the internet and networks, so that cracks me up too.

My younger sister changed her name when she got married, so she went from being a Webb to an Earl (some people pronounce URL as Earl)...

The CO of my ex-H's Navy Squadron was named Cosmos. Yup, Captian Cosmos. that is one of my all time favorite name.s

ha ha you are all so funny! My last name is Hailer. It is German. I traced its meaning back as far a I could. Going backwards meaning doctor, to heal,and before that to castrate. HA HA the funny part is I just stopped working in a pediatriac office where I would assist physicans with circumcisons. Try getting a date when your last name means "to castrate"!

Okay, I had it REAL bad. My maiden name was Mountjoy. Not only that, my cousins last name is Lusby. We got it from every angle. Heather is a joy to mount or a mountain of joy or almond joy and on and on and on. LOL. Now it's Joyner. Hey atleast we kept the Joy in our marriage. LOL.

This is fun!

ok, my maiden name is French - Soileau. Pronounced "Swallow" .

A N D - since this board has already had troubles related to "swallowing" - Im not going to get into the problems I had with my last name.

Donali - good thing we didnt hook up in the military... "Hey 'Swallow' and 'Peters', Get over here!

This isn't last name related but a fun twist of names. I had a boyfriend from long ago who made up names constantly. I worked at a little sandwich shop called "Schlotzsky's" and he called it "Shitzsky's" and there was one fella that I used to work with in a grocery store. His name was Joe Supulski? or Supinsky? or something like that and this boyfriend always referred to him as "Joe Suppository" I'm guessing he got that alot, anyway!

      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.
