Just for fun. Why your member name?

Because I was an Air Force pilot, I wanted to use "Eagle", but it was already taken, so I had to settle for 'Falcon'.

Holly, I assumed Holly was your real name. It suits you perfectly and you remind me of a dear friend whose name is Holly. Now my brain is confused. It will take a while to get over this :confused: . . .:)

Sorry Glinda and Merlin to disappoint you , but like most people on forums I don't use my real name..LOL..but those members of SF who do know my real name say that they feel Holly suits me better just as you say Glinda..but I just think it's simply how you first came to know me and you're used to it..but thank you for the compliment.

Do you think if I'd have called myself Theresa Green..it would have been more obvious it was a pseudonym ? :rofl:
 
I lived a long time in a place where Russian Thistle, tumbleweeds, blew in along side the house. They would stay a short while then drift on with the next big wind, drifting with the sand out across the plains country.
 
Lenore, as a teen I was an Edgar Alan Poe fan, I worked at a little record shop and the disc jockey from a local radio station came in and we became friends. He invited me to join him on Fridays for the Rock & Roll program. We needed a name for me so I became Lovely Luscious Lenore and had a ball getting letters and fan mail. It was a blast.

Then the real world happened, I met an airman, fell in love and moved to Texas and my "radio career" ended. So when I need a name for several forums I used ~Lenore. The lovely luscious had sort of faded by then, but it was a happy memory. :playful:
 
All great stories...I too, thought the same thing about Holly and Ken. Agree Holly suits you so well. You look and sound like a Holly. Love the images Drifter evokes. Dissapointed it refers to tumbleweed. Will keep my version.
I posted mine earlier, in another thread. Will again, though. Spent weeks trying to find a age appropriate forum. Signed up for so many, Nona was always taken. Had to try numerous others. Hated the process, especially when I found the forums were so dissapointing. Had about given up when I found Senior Forums. When I had to once again supply a user name...just thought...And why not...abbreviated it to ndynt.
 
Great story Lenore...and sorry to disappoint you too Nona..:D

The irony of it is that I've always hated my given name..so I should have changed it many years ago..but it's too late now LOL

I told you didn't I that my s-i-l's sister is called Nona, hers came about because her siblings couldn't pronounce her first name Christina :D
 
It’s convoluted. When my daughter was young, we’d talk about the “rings on her fingers and bells on toes and she would make music wherever she’d go“. I had some rings & bells that we made into jewellery. She drew a picture and labelled it Jules. She couldn’t spell then and still can’t.

The day I joined I’d been thinking about that picture and wondering if I still have it. I don’t. There‘s also the one she did of the family. When we asked (the answer was obvious) who was the father. You’re lucky I didn’t pick P*n*s. 😉
 
When I was working, I needed access to the websites of many of my customers. Many had a policy to change the passwords every 3 to 6 months, which was a PITA. I remembered I had a book that listed about 200 scotch distilleries, so I started with Abelour and worked my way through the alphabet. I then thought one would be great for a screen name, so I selected Bowmore, a distillery on the Island of Islay. Some years ago, I actually visited the distillery.

I don't drink Scotch anymore but when I did, Bowmore was one of my Fav's
 
I was a competitive shooter for several years. Us shooters are very picky about ammo & we handload our own to custom tailor it to our gun.
win231 (short for Winchester 231) is one of my favorite powders because it burns clean & meters consistently - important factors for accuracy.

Why bother going to all that trouble when we can just buy factory ammo?
You can go to the market & buy a cake already made, or you can buy flour, eggs, butter, sugar, etc. & you control the ingredients & end up with a better cake. 😁
 
Driving through West Texas, I went through a town that had nothing going for it except a catchy name: Pecos.

I also saw an isolated looking structure off to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with a big sign "Pump House Number 7." I resolved that if I ever owned a bar, I would name it Pump House Number 7. But that never happed so I still have another catchy name floating around in my brainwaves taking up memory space.
