What's in a name?

This is sort of a branch off of Babydoll's VERY successful blog titled "Who are you REALLY????" (click). I'd like to know why you picked the screen name you did. People like Babydoll, Colitas, VtKid, Mimi, Eekitsaspider, Canibeyou, GregL (just kidding Greg, that one is obvious). There are many others. Those are just the ones that come to mind right now. I already told about "Blaze" here (click). What is the story behind your name?

I just had a blast from the past... I went to classmates.com and was just looking arround at all the diffrent people on the list and I came accross an old friends name. I have not seen this friend in almost 20 years and this friend was my best friend. I emailed the person and found out that i got the right one. I was so excited and could not wait to hear what life has been like the last 20 years. This friend actually called me this morning and it was great.. I don't know how we lost touch but I am glad that we are back in touch now. I could see us being Best Friends again and hopefully for the rest of our lives......

Whew, that was a tough one!  Ok, now that, that is out of the way...Just kidding guys, I think we were all rooting for eek to get this blast from the past.  Ok, so guess who I am...not really I already showed my pic .  I should be working right now...but what fun is in that, when I could blog instead!

AH HA!!!! I knew it had to be Sue....That is all I could think of...I have not seen you in a long time I was wondering what happened to you..

Oh and Miss D is something else... She is out of control rude sometimes. I saw her at a local gas station and i turned arround and said hello to her and she completly ignored me and did not even speak. She just gave me a dirty look. I just let it go.. But every time i speak to her it is like she forces herself to say something back. And if she takes off again with matthew standing and not sitting I will be calling again to chew out her boss. That is dangerous and i do not want matt to get hurt...
Kinda funny we are on the same page with this...lol

Anyway glad I finally figured it out...

Yes my hair is short and brown matter of fact my picture is on the other thread "Who are you really?" and yes I probably said your dog reminds me of the cartoon dog when it runs after the cat and then gets caught by the chain and falls down. Yes I did transport Joey for a short time, Mat was in Kindergarten when I was driving.......and THANK YOU for calling on D because she is rude to everyone and I don't know why she continues to get away with it. She is one reason I chose to move on and changed careers but I am so much happier now she just made me ill when I had to be around her. I think you are on the right track as to who I am my name is Sue aka.. Ms. Sue original driver of #23......thanks this was fun....eek

Are you the one that said my dog looks like a cartoon dog when she runs the course?????? If so then i know for sure....

p.s. My dog has mental issues beyond my control...lol

Oh and if we are talking about the same Miss D i can see why she is your mortal enemy..She has been nothing but rude to me but Matthew loves her...Why I have no clue!! Maybe it is because i called her boss and chewed her out about a situation and she got into trouble.. I don't know...

Ok you got me now...You are not Miss V or the aid.... You are not Miss M.....And we have moved too many times....Do you have short hair and brown? Or is it blonde? Did you provide services to my older son for a short time period when he was in Junior High school? Or did you provide it when he was younger?? I am trying to figure out which Miss S you are because there are 2 that i can think of..... The blonde Miss S has a son I think that has some problems, not too sure on that one..

'D'.....is my mortal ememy!!......... but Ms. ~M~ is my sweet friend............... I no longer am in that position I have moved on thats why you havent seen me in a year but S is the begining of my first name and I saw you the most the year you moved

I will figure this out before the day ends!!!! lol Do you assist with my daughter or do you still provide a service to Matthew???? I am thinking you are Miss D ( whom Matthew adores ) or you could be Miss S...Hmmmm

I was thinking that luv was a lady who's name starts with an M...But I am thinking I see you in the morning about 8:45am to 9:00am give or take....I guess I will have to ask this morning
luvmykatz you are either one of 2 people that provide a service for Matthew...I am thinking your name starts with a D.....
Dang it Blaze you blew it now she knows! 23 lasagnas and watching her dog was Hilarius!! Now I am going to have to come up with another alias...>^..^<......hehehe
Luv I know who you are now!!!! You're Garfield aren't you!!
I thought that's why you were doing it that way!

For Blaze and eek..........Thanks Blaze I know about the email feature but I am doing this for fun, Ya know it makes life a little more interesting when you have to put the pieces of the puzzle together rather than just be given the answer....I think....at least for me it does.

eeek...Ok..... think of the Color yellow and the number 23 ......I am not sure you know my name but if you saw me you would know my face. BTW I wish I was turning 29 again but thats not it.

Blaze that would take the fun out of it!! Guessing is kinda fun!!
Eek and Luv, I don't know if this guessing game is just for fun or because Luv doesn't want to reveal herself to the whole world but in case it's the latter, did you know that each of you can send a message to the other without showing your email to everybody else? For instance Luv could click on Eek's name which takes her to Eek's profile, then she would just click Send Message. Then she could tell her who she is!
Ok luvmycats that helped alot.. It is 6:09am and my brain is not functioning properly but i do have a really good idea now. I will have to look into it later this morning. I have to look for the number 23... You are either one of 2 people not sure which one though...I am thinking you are the one who just turned 29 according to my daughter. But you may be another person that is why i have to look for 23...
Well, let's see...my brothers couldn't say Valerie when they were little so they called me Farri(far-ee) , lived with that for years and hated it! Then moved to Tehachapi back in '85 and a few years later my brother got me a job at (all you old timers will remember this) The Whistle Stop and between my brother, Gil and Alexis they came up with and extended it to Farrinna or Cream of Wheat LOL, just kind of stuck and I've learned to live and accept my fate LOL...I hated being called "val" also, but you know how it goes, everyone has to shorten your name...
OK.....Let's see if I can do this with out giving myself away to easily. Does the number 23 mean anything to you? I know all three of your kids but I know your youngest son the best. I didn't see much of you last year but I did see you almost daily the year before. I still remember your dog before you moved he would almost choke himself running from the porch to the driveway.
luvmykatz i am glad you figured out who i am... I am not sure who you are though.......Maybe some hints here????
I picked the screen name Babydoll,  because it was a nickname I was given a long time ago, also it was my modeling name when I did pin-up stuff.  I'm getting it tattooed across my knuckles!
I know who you are too eek, I just figured it out when I saw your picture.
People do really call me Mimi, even though it isn't my real name
I'm with rstott.  My screen name is dhal because Danielle is my first name and Hall is my last name.  Creativity is not my strong suit.
Well my screen name is rstott because.... my name is Rachelle Stott. Very simple I am not that creative but I always remember my login.
Jewels I went to school here in from 88 to 90... That is cool that my husband was your mailman....
eeekkkkk.... your husband was my mailman for YEARS!!! Love it.  I have seen you before too...Did you go to school here?  anyway My name is Julie...jewels, that simple
luvmy2girls how do you know about my arm????? I am trying to figure out who you are....lol

luvmy2girls i am glad you know who I am, But the problem is i don't know for sure who you are..lol I need a hint....

Mine's pretty obvious, I have 2 girls (daughters) and I love them...lol.

Eeks...you are exactly who I thought you were when I very first read about you...lol. I'm a good guesser:) I hope your arm is healing well.

Your welcome Blaze...and Thanks for saying it is a great picture...
Okay I finally got to see it. Great picture! Thanks Eek!

Geez Blaze I have posted it twice now and you missed it??? Here it is AGAIN!!! It is of me and my husband on 2-22-07 at a chappel in Vegas.......

Eek, I don't see any picture of you.
Colitas, I love that song and I didn't even make the connection of your name to the song until you told the story. Your story was very touching!
Fabmom05 was supposed to be fab mom of 5, because I have five children.  For some reason when I signed in here my name was changed to fabmom05. It works!  The whole fab thing, well that is for my kids.  They are fabulous!!

Well, this is a long story.....My oldest brother died when I was 10.  I obviously idolized him.  His favorite songs that I could remember was Hotel California and Hot Child in the City.  So when I would feel sad I would listen to Hotel California over, and over again.  (At first I didn't know who did it or even the name of the song, so it took me awhile to figure it out....I was only 10, and we did not discuss my brother's death in my family, so I couldn't ask).  Anyways, it took me almost 15 years to understand the impact his death had us all, and also at that same time I finally figure out what the Eagles were saying...Colitas, not colie dust, or whatever other word I would think it was and sing it.  During that time I mourned, excepted, forgave, and moved on from his death and figured out a verse to a song!  So in a weird way my screen name, Colitas, frees me and releases all the bad mojo associated with my brother's death and the 15 years afterwords.  I think of Frank every time I use my screen name and smile :) 

I also think it is funny as heck that people assume that I am a big Pot Smoker because of the name....that or they think it's some intestinal inflammation.  So, I like to mess with people's heads who jump to conclusions a little bit, but it puts me in my place when I do the same.

 

This is a better picture of me.. This is me and my husband on 2-22-2007 in LasVegas when we renewed our wedding vows for our 10th wedding anniversary...

Vermont is where I grew up and even though I don't get back usually more than once a year; everyone I knew is still there, just like when we were kids, so . . .
I think I might have explained mine before, but here it goes.  I am the proud wife of a Kern County firefighter and when I started commenting on this site ( long before the blogs were here) I wanted everyone to know it!! :) So there you have it. Countygirl aka Countrygirl! LOL
This one's easy. My name is Weebles because my name is Weebles! My she-servant brought me home when I was three days old. I'd been found abandoned by someone who took me to the vet where my she-servant worked at the time.

After bringing me home, she placed me on the rug so the dog could meet me. I swayed around like a little drunkard, but kept my footing. The phrase "weebles wobble but they don't fall down" came into her mind, and the name stuck. >^..^<
Well my name came from not liking spiders. Cannot stand the things small or large ones!! The only good spider is a dead spider!!! I feel the same way about snakes but eekitsasnake didnt sound right..... Most of the spider's i find either become a mark on a shoe or get flushed down the toliet.

My name is Shane and I love being a pain! It's kinda funny I hated that nick name in school but hey it stuck.  I was "8 Bravo" in the beginning but had to change that because it tied my ID to work.

I'll play I use to use my first initial and last name but the guys my husband knew always reconized it so I got embarassed they never said anything negitive but I don't like the reconigition. I'm a little shy so I changed it to LuvMyKatz I guess because I have 5 of them I love them and its the first thing I could think of.  

Since I didn't play the post your picture game, I'll play this one.

One of my favorite books is the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. The story is enchanting, and it has a theme of, you guessed it, bees. I don't like bees in real life, but I love the story about the charmers of bees and their uninhibited relationship with nature.

On a side note, for the longest time I read in my head... "eekitsaspider" like "Eekita  Spider."  Like a first and last name. I don't why my brain couldn't figure it out. I love it too though.
