Studmuffin was already taken

But seriously, When I signed up way back when, I had no idea I would actually be posting anything here. fljoe (a combination of the state I live in and my name) was just a standard log-in I used for a bunch of accounts and it was easy enough for me to remember. The 0 got thrown on the end because fljoe sometimes would be already taken. If I realized when I signed up here that I would have been posting so much, I probably would have used something else. I've often thought about changing it but have always decided not to.

I bet a lot of people have tried to use it. I tried using Oneforthemoney, and the computer refused to let me use it.

Do I really need to explain mine?

You like to eat rice?
You are the king of the rice eaters?

(Nah - I know - you like Anne Rice and that Stephen King guy, too!)

Actually, it's because one time I was over at Steve and Tabby's place, the one that's on the lake in Maine, and they concocted this fantastically mouth-watering rice dish in a slow cooker.........oh, wait......I wasn't supposed to ever mention that! I take it all back! Marsha, please don't tell Steve!!!!!!

Me too! I like garter snakes - not the giant boa constrictors that can crush a person.

I've had a boa crawl around and over me. Not big enough to eat me, of course, and in fact the owners had just fed it (poor mouse). It was cool. The crawling part, I mean. The feeding was kinda unpleasant, really.

It's on my birth certificate.............

They actually make something like this! I've never tried it though.

arista-I do think it is that interesting of story, but named a cat after it as well. She was one of the Little Mermaid's sisters.

Very nice description. Autumn is my favorite time of year, and this was perfectly said.

Oh, thanks, Dana Jean. Autumn always feels way too short for me so I try to not to waste one minute of it. I walk, I bake, I read Robert Frost, I decorate the house, and I endlessly extol its beauty to everyone until they're sick of hearing me.

It is also my favorite time of the year. Winter and Summer are a study in extremes here. Spring is wet and smelly, but fall does something for me. And it's just too short.

 

[Sundrop]

Ha...! I did not know this.
We go together like fizzy (what we call soda) and chocolate...
Actually, do these even go well together?
Yar... they probably do.

Yes, they go quite well together.....a lot like us!

E is the first letter of my given and last name, and I love the Marx Brothers. Not very imaginative, I know.

 

[The Nameless]

When I was signing up to a different forum many years ago, the (lame) name I wanted was taken, and I didn't want numbers at the end. So I was sitting there unable to think of a name I liked and thought "screw it, I won't have one, I'll be nameless". That act of laziness/lack of imagination stuck with me onto other boards and forums.

 

[cat in a bag]

My first name is Catina, so if you split that up you get cat in a...and one of my cousins always called me cat in a bag growing up. Still does, as a greeting, when we manage to be in the same place at the same time!

...not soda, chocolate drink(no carbonation)...some people swear by it, but I was underwhelmed-give me chocolate milk anytime...

My thoughts exactly. It's good, but to me it was just choco milk made with water instead of milk.

 

[Blonde Bombshell]

My hubby had referred to me as such when he talked about me or his beloved, so when I came aboard I used the blonde bombshell, (at his urging)

I sent MaryAnn a Big Turk and a Mr. Big not long ago. I just read a book by an Edmontion and I shall send her that....when I am a bit better after surgery. She will LOVE IT!
My name is the english version of Estellle....star. I lived in the Peace part of Alberta for a while. Staropeace.

I'm Wiccan and Autumn Gust is my Wiccan name. It fits my personality perfectly . Autumn's my favorite season-- I love every. single. thing about it and really come alive during that time of year. I chose "Gust" for two reasons: It doesn't take much for me to get excited when something's going on. But, especially, I love autumnal gusts that shake the trees and cause the leaves to swirl wildly. I also love it when I'm walking along and a strong gust suddenly makes a little eddy of brightly colored leaves. I think they're beautiful as they scoot across the street. And that scraping sound they make on the pavement as they whirl by? Just lovely!

Lovely! It's my favorite, too (I was named appropriately--lol), particularly October. I can't wait until this hot stuff is over and I can sit on the back deck, wrapped in a light blanket, and drink my tea while I listen to the wind Plus, it's my DT time of year--I always get the yen to take the journey in Autumn.

Same here with the DT journey. End of November and the journey begins again. I can't read it in summer/ was on book 7 during a massive Tropical, praying I'd know the ending before we got blown away. Thus- when Fall comes- it's DT time.

I got through the first two books this summer, but just couldn't do the rest until it gets cooler--it felt too weird. My other seasonal read is Jan Karon's Mitford series; i always want to read that one in the spring. Brains work so strangely!
