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!)

Mine shouldn't need an explanation, lol.

This is a fun topic! Thank you for starting it!
Pazza means crazy in Italian. And that pretty much fits!

Mine is my initials and year of birth.

First initial E, middle initial L, last name Forman. Put it together and you get elforman.

Also, my initials are ELF, the first joke my mother ever played on me and far from the last. Many people just call me ELF, especially at work when there are others who share my first name.

PCOS....bc, well, it sucks.....lol

Blue skies, My name has a similar story to yours.. My husband, the love of my life, and the kindest man I ever knew, had a complete mental breakdown and I have not seen him since (he fled the country thinking the FBI was chasing him and that I was a spy) I felt like my life was over and that I couldn't possibly survive without him...Whenever I would feel like I couldn't get out of bed in the morning I would just tell myself "**** happens... it happens to everyone" This helped at first but eventually I needed more than that and I started looking for and appreciating the serendipitous moments in life... and there are many. Now every time I see my username or log in here, I'm reminded that around every corner there are happy discoveries to be made... without any reason... good things are just there for the taking...

You are so courageous to see life as you do following such a painful period in your life. My heart aches for what your husband dealt with and the effect it had on you.
