How did you come up with your online name?

I'm not into either.

I don't container garden with vegetables, only flowers. My garden is
in the front yard by the entry way.

 

cool. i hope to grow cool season vegetables, before it gets too hot, i hope.

 

I don't know about you but I participate in the County Fair. I've entered in the
State Fair and have won some ribbons, including 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I favor the
County Fair because there are cash prizes. The State Fair is a nuisance and the
only thing worth while are the Corn Dogs at a ridiculously high price, which I pay.

Viva State Fair Corn Dogs with Mustard.

At any rate, I favor the County Fair because it requires more than just entering.

 

Wow this thread is really still going? Just popping in so people can see my username and..........yeah guess how I got it.

 

She went under the name Makedde (sp?) or similar. An interesting character and I always enjoyed her posts. She had a habit of rubbing the conservatives up the wrong way at times.

 

I haven't been growin that long. I am practicing seed propagation now in a solar oven. On clear days, it gets to over one hundred degress. It stays warmer longer as well. I also have a simple cold frame. I have some basil growing and a small avocado tree. I have also been pruning our fig tree and making cuttings to grow more fig trees in containers. I have some past cuttings growing in containers. It may still be a few more years until they fruit.

 

My Alliance to a Political Party (Well more of a sect of a political Party) and my name

 

Someone told me where she's posting now... if you're interested, PM me and I'll pass it along.

 

Who doesn't enjoy "blaming the right" whenever they claim to be in the right, not because the they are right but merely because they are on the right.

 

I just love horses, that's all there is to it

My name is Aaron and last name starts with a K. And I run, and was born in 88,.

 

I had just watched "The Thomas Crown Affair" where a bunch of guys dressed like the painting "Everyman", with the suit and tie and an apple for a head and the bowler hat. I tried to use it for my name, but for some reason it wouldn't take, so I had to add the year.
Enjoy!

 

Hairball has been my real life nickname since the 80s.

I got that nickname when another concrete finisher got jealous because the owner of the company we were working for elected to have the new guy on the crew (me) do all the finish work on his own home. This really irked Darrell, the other finisher, because he was the lead finisher on the crew for several years before I was hired and was expecting to finish the new concrete at the boss' home.

Darrell was an extremely talented cement mason, but I was just a little bit better. And Darrell was jealous when he got knocked down a rung by a young buck like me.

Well, Darrell went in the house while I was finishing the front porch and he saw that the last name on my time card was very similar to "hairless". But I was the opposite. I had very long hair that went all the way down to my butt. So he came out and said "Hairless? Hairless? Your name's Hairless? More like Hairball, I'd say."

And the name stuck. All of my friends call me Hairball.

 

At the time I joined, I was in the middle of a Ron Paul libertarian streak. No longer libertarian, but too cheap to pay to change my name.

 

Every time I read your name, I just want to sing, "Hey there, Pauliegirl..... fighting for the cause of libertyyyyyyyy....."

 

Schmidt is a fun name to say. Somewhere in my online history, I morphed that to "shmitty".

Goats are animals that are both incredible and ridiculous.

I am a man

Shmitty+goat+man=shmittygoatman

I can math.

 

In my case a funny thing happened on the way to the Forum.
My "id" came up to me. Just walked right into the elevator and introduced
me as Foolardi. So's I's says. If that's the way you want it.

 

I used to be a christian when I was yonger. I was taught that I was a born sinner and that if I accepted jesus in my life I'd be saved.

They talk about how nice jesus is and what horrible tortures await me if I don't accept him as my lord and savior.

Later I thought to my self

If jesus is so nice, just and merciful why does he torture people for all eternity over something so simple?

they would always talk about the splendors awaiting in heven. How we will sing and praise him for all eternity.

When I was watching the news on how "freedom fighters" were rebeling against their government. I was sure that even though we, who was a democratic nation were rooting for them;their own government hated them

I started learning history and what I've noticed that politicaly heven is a totalitarian dictatorship we're you do nothing but sing and praise god. If someone spoke against him....bad things happen

Then I started wondering; What if satan was a freedom fighter? He failed his rebelion and he and his followers were cast down. Then he became demonised for all eternity

A tragic anti hero.

Fallen represent that concept.

Now I believe none of it

 

My cat called "lune"

Dead now, many years ago.... but was alive when I joined.

Oh I suppose my handle is pretty blunt. My name is Nick.

 

Easy, except for the "2", it's my first and last name.

I went through a similar process. Thanks for sharing.

 

I used to like Ron Paul. Can I change it?

 

Mine is just my first name (Chris, being short for Christine) and my middle initial. Lol. Nothing creative there!

 

Of course the unedited version runs something like.
I was home one afternoon minding my own business and
Babysitting myself when a knock was heard at my front door.
A Kirby vacuum salesman appeared and made his pitch.But that meant
letting him in and demonstrating his Kirby.I says. No Kirby in here
Pally.I got me enough troubles already with some Hoover and a
Royal and this Dyson thig-a-ma-jig.So's the Kirby guy gave me
his calling card and and called it a day.
The card musta been the wrong business card.
It said Foolardi's ... You meet the Nicest People on a Foolardi.
Who was I to disagree.The only problem I had was some of the wording.
You meet the Nicest Chicks on a Foolardi.
Ok so I'm a stickler for detail.
So Sue me.
