Random I know but I just got slammed in a support chat room that Ive used for over 5 years for my name and its the same name I have always used. Just kinda hurt, espicially after being called a murderer in there and then I was being picked on.

remember that chat rooms are peoples alter egos.. so if someone says mean things, thats just them taking out something thats going on in their life on you. As your name is your alter ego so tell them to shovel their bad snow somewhere else!!!

NO! I don't think it is triggering... and win47 is right a ton of people have pretty loaded screen names... and I don't think your is loaded... well, not in a triggering sort of way...

I think jus about anything can be triggering if we need it to be....

Anyway for me I picked numbers so I would not trigger and now I regret it because I feel this community is supposed to help free me, and the numbers as my screen name are keep me conceled.

I am impressed you were couragous and selected a name that represented your choice. Good for you, sad for thoes who cant see it that way... yet they are entitled to their opinon too.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
