What's the story behind your profile name?

  • Popular Post

I find a lot of names on here interesting and I'm sure there are good stories behind how everyone chose them. Anyone like to share? For me, Kindle is my horse's name and she was the "straw that broke the camel's back" in my decision to have VSG. I feel bad for her, having to lug my fat ass around the mountains and would love to be able to hop on her without having to find a rock or log to climb up on. (there's a dozen other reasons behind my decision, but my profile name is my tribute to her and how much more fun we will have next summer!)

You'll be happy to know that Nina and Louise FINALLY buried the hatchet and VS is back together. :)

Twins are definitely a LOT of work! Mine turned 28 last week. They are less work now (but much more expensive!). Lol

My name is based on a time in my life that I was going thru a divorce. I was the one who had done wrong and took the name gbb77901 to stand for Girl Been Bad and my zip code at the time. ;-)

My hooker/drag name would be Smoky Pollard.

Rock on

My first grandchild was born August 6, 2013, the most beautiful baby boy. I was visiting one time when he was about four months old. My daughter and her husband were going to be working that evening. And I figured I would be babysitting for him. But my daughter looked me in the eye and said mom we don't think you can handle him you can't get off the couch quickly, you can't hold him to stand up and walk around for very long, we just feel like we need to have a babysitter instead of you. I was devastated but I also understood and realized that she was correct! It was on that day that I decided I needed to do something and probably had to be RNY. So when I joined this decided what my nickname would be Mamie because that's what my grandson calls me and I was 60 when he was born. He saved my life thank you Daniel!

I am a Rick Springfield fan for 30 yrs (We call ourselves Rick chicks) and I live in Kentucky and the year I was born.

My stripper name is Trixie Hobbs

I love pelicans and an old boyfriend use to call me that. Not much imagination, but easy for me to remember.

My dogs name and breed (deceased)

Because Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo gets no respect...and rightfully so!

Just paying homage to horrific movies of my childhood. :)
