    ahhhh some guy trying to get my attention in another time another life, called me that, he said, and if you can believe someone who has been drinking, that it meant northern beauty. Anywho, I've used it for screen name as everything with Linda has or had been taken. The best name however is what my grandaughter calls me "grammie ahe".

    Linda

    Osmotar
    From what I can see Googling "OSMOTAR", it mean's you are either;

    "The wisdom-maiden, Kalew's fair and lovely virgin..."

    or

    "a mythological patron of beer and beer-brewing"

    Both of which may have something to do with your friend that first christened you as Osmotar..LOL.

    Cheers,
    John

    Something easy to remember
    I chose my first name, I've been an RN over 20y, and 43 is my age of diagnosis.
    This is a nice thread seeing where people came up with their usernames.

    Because I Am!!!

    stage name
    Brian Krashpad is my stage name. I'm in a punk rock and roll band called Crash Pad, and many years ago a DJ friend of mine started calling me "Brian Krashpad" simply as a shortening of "Brian from/of Crash Pad." Plus, it's been a punk rock thing to use the name of one's band as one's "last name" for decades, back to the Ramones.

    I spell the last name with a K since my "real" initials are BK anyhow. That way I can "sign" things "BK" and either way it's appropriate.

    ;)

    Be well!

    jealous
    I wish I lived that close. I live in Indiana so that is why we only make it usually once a year. We did do Disney's Hilton Head Resort at spring break before my nightmare started so I got a little bit of my Disney fix there. Really hoping I can make it down in December even if I only sit on my balcony and watch people go by and at least see the Osborne Family of Lights, awesome.

    Glad you restarted
    This thread. When I signed up, I didn't worry about my screen name because I figured I would never post. Now I have the opportunity to explain the unusual name, NoDuck.

    It's the name of Hubby's favorite hunting dog, a Fell terrier. When she and her brother were young pups, she would chase him around the yard while Dale and I sat in lawn chairs. Her brother would duck under the chairs, she wouldn't and would bang her head. But she would get back up and chase him again. So he was named Duck, she was named NoDuck.

    Name seems appropriate to our current situation -- get knocked down, get back up.

    I dont know why it is
    but every time I see your screen name it registers in my small mind as "chip dip". No matter how often I see it, or how carefullu I spell it out. I guess I cant help myself from being slow......
