I had a cat named Gibson. I named him Gibson because he was the bravest of the kittens so his name morphed from Braveheart to Mel Gibson to plain old Gibson. Later I found out Gibson was a girl so the name choice was inappropriate all around! Anyway, I added the Gibson Girl as my avatar so people would know I was a girl and not make the same mistake I made with my cat. :smile2:

Mine is easy. I'm Jaime and I'm from St. Louis. Usually I add my birthday (9-20) to the end of my user id on things, but I wanted to change it up a little, especially since 9/20 will not come ever again. I am staying 29 forever. :smile2:

In my twenties myself and several college dropout types started a kind of non college frat/rodeo team/snowboarding team named Team Tripod after a dumb old joke and it stuck.We are all still close friends all these years later although the name is a little embarrassing now.I was born in 1965 hence the 65.

Well the first bit is obvious. The numbers and letters are because I have 4 boys and 1 girl. 4b1g. And this is my username EVERYWHERE. Dh says I just did that so I wouldn't have to have anymore babies (he still wanted one lol).

Sorry, can't have one, will screw up username.

Mine is BlessedTwice because I have two adorable boys, wo just turned 2 and 3. We took fertility drugs for the first, our second was a surprise, both were preemies, 6 and 10 weeks early. I feel blessed to have the tow of them!

It's the first part of our family e-mail address. Wilds is our last name - the JNB stands for Jason 'n Becca (my hubby and I).

I use it as my user name for everything - that way I only have to remember different passwords and not 2 different things for everything I use.

This is so interesting!

See Angie, I've been calling you Angie For Big in my head now for months and had no clue what that meant. Now I know I've got it all wrong!

tripod, I um, er...think I know the dumb old joke about your frat's name. I thought you were either a photographer or um, ....yeah. :smile2::tongue:

Do we need to send tripod to the sex thread?

Angie, you get it too! We must be the naughty ones in the bunch! LOL

Jaime, I'm 34 and I've never felt better, even when I was 21. Once you get over the shock of the nice round 3-0 - you'll see it was worth the transition. Besides, haven't you heard? 30 is the new 20! :rolleyes2:

My username started as "Big Marathoner", but now that I've lost 30 pounds I changed it to "marathinner". It's an homage to the marathon I ran last year and the one I'm about to start training for in a month!!

my name is jeanie and g is for my last name. every time i ever tried jeanie it was taken so i added g, it was taken and the 6 was the next one i could get so i use the same one for all online so i too won't forget which goes for which, jeanieg6

This is interesting. :rolleyes2:

Besides projecting an air of openness and friendliness, Bandpal is an anagram for Lapband. Cute idea for a thread!

Mine is from a nickname I acquired as a kid. When I was a baby crawling around, my big sister (of 2 years of age) kept calling me a "turtle" but it was coming out "turler". My Dad kept it going and here it is!

Cool thread!

Gibson, you do come up with the greatest thread topics, and always keep things interesting here! :smile2:

I guess my name choice is a little different, lol . . . I was listening to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody ("old" rock 'n roll to the end baby!) at the time I was signing up for Lap-Band Talk . . . then I looked up the word Rhapsody. It means a state of enthusiastic expression, elated bliss, and ecstasy . . . all of which I'm gonna feel if I ever reach my goal weight :rolleyes2: (and honestly I'm feeling it now as I continue to lose weight, however slowly!). I'm enthusiastic about getting this lap-band and changing my life, so I felt Rhapsody was a good name choice! I added the heart character just for fun. :eek:

I just can't believe my 20s are almost over. I am coming to terms with it, most days. I plan to be much healthier and enjoy my 30s much more than in my 20s, so it'll be ok. My husband turns 30 in less than a month and he's really freaking, so I'm doing my best to rub it in. I am four months younger, after all. :biggrin:
