How did you choose your username?

[Gibson 7]

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:

[JaimeSTL 4]

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:

[tripod65 1]

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.

[Angie4b1g 1]

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.

[BlessedTwice 1]

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!

[jnbwilds 0]

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:

[Angie4b1g 1]

Do we need to send tripod to the sex thread?

[Gibson 7]

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:

[marathinner 1]

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!!

[Jeanieg6 1]

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:

[bandpal 7]

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

[Turler 6]

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!

[Lori_K 0]

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:
