fun thread -- names



Recommended Posts

The morning radio show I listen to in the mornings had an interesting topic yesterday. They were talking about last names, and if anyone does what their name says. You know, if anyone named Baker was a baker or things like that.

I thought that would make a fun topic here, so here goes.

My last name is Webb, and I spin as one of my many hobbies. Spin as in spinning wool, not the bike thing. Also, I work with the internet and networks, so that cracks me up too.

My younger sister changed her name when she got married, so she went from being a Webb to an Earl (some people pronounce URL as Earl)...

The CO of my ex-H's Navy Squadron was named Cosmos. Yup, Captian Cosmos. that is one of my all time favorite name.s

My last name is Peter.

Uh... I don't think I better add to that!! :)

OH! Besides the "gutter" thoughts, I will say I tend to "peter out" on projects... I start out gung ho, and then my enthusiasm just sort of... well... peters out..

:D

ha ha you are all so funny! My last name is Hailer. It is German. I traced its meaning back as far a I could. Going backwards meaning doctor, to heal,and before that to castrate. HA HA the funny part is I just stopped working in a pediatriac office where I would assist physicans with circumcisons. Try getting a date when your last name means "to castrate"!

Okay, I had it REAL bad. My maiden name was Mountjoy. Not only that, my cousins last name is Lusby. We got it from every angle. Heather is a joy to mount or a mountain of joy or almond joy and on and on and on. LOL. Now it's Joyner. Hey atleast we kept the Joy in our marriage. LOL.

This is fun!

ok, my maiden name is French - Soileau. Pronounced "Swallow" .

A N D - since this board has already had troubles related to "swallowing" - Im not going to get into the problems I had with my last name.

Donali - good thing we didnt hook up in the military... "Hey 'Swallow' and 'Peters', Get over here!

This isn't last name related but a fun twist of names. I had a boyfriend from long ago who made up names constantly. I worked at a little sandwich shop called "Schlotzsky's" and he called it "Shitzsky's" and there was one fella that I used to work with in a grocery store. His name was Joe Supulski? or Supinsky? or something like that and this boyfriend always referred to him as "Joe Suppository" I'm guessing he got that alot, anyway!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
