What's in the name?

Was asked today what my name was. I think it's great we are anonymous and is easier at times. But what about our Membership Name?

Bigfella came about when a friends daughter was having fun saying Heyyyy Bigfella!

Of course never mind the fact I have only been under 200lbs for about 7 years of my life since the 8th grade. Probably nothing to do with it. But now it has been more of a term of endearment.

Any special meanings, yes some are obvious, with words like "hurt", or "alone" in them. But some are unique and clever.

Pottermom...
I took up throwing stoneware when I left the ex 7 years ago. My mother was an artist and a potter, and I have worked in many artistic mediums, but never pottery until then. It saved me emotionally and physically at a time when I felt I had lost it all. So, I am a Potter and a Mom.

A friend online used to call me wingnut all the time at an online community we both did. Every since I've used it. Not sure why that name but he used it as a joking insult.

Stormi has nothing to do with my temperment, despite what my ex might tell you ;)
I love Storms. The bigger the better. I've been called Stormi Normi all my life.

3093 is my pledge account number for church--it was on my bulletin board when I signed up & I figured it would be a good reminder.

Nothing to special about mine. It is my first initial, my middle initial and the first three of my last name. A name that she came up with. Maybe I should come up with a new one.

kinoka derives from the first letters of mine and my kid's names. The three of us who were abandoned by my husband who left for another woman. Kim, Noah and Kailey. I thought it was a clever name that I would never forget.

Well, I'm from Texas, so the tx part is for that, and I decided to choose a symbol for all of this I'm going through and I chose the sunflower. The sunflower represents a new beginning for me. And if you've ever seen the movie Under the Tuscan Sun- you know all the sunflowers it shows in Tuscany- great movie! I'm sure we can all relate to the main character. I had always loved the movie even before the bomb dropped on my life. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

jj82 is simple ... JJ is what a lot of my friends from childhood call me. My first two initials. 82 is the year that I was born. I like being called JJ, probably more so than my real name.

Don't know why but when I was 9 a friend of mine dad called me Haus one night. He can't remember why nor do I understand, but it's been me ever since? I'm not a big man but I'm Haus.

I called my first born child "my little sweet pickle." Just a term of endearment for my girls. I couldn't think of anything better at the time I guess.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
