Just curious about peoples' sign in names and what the letters and/or numbers mean. Buzz is actually my husband's nickname and we only use his legal name when necessary. The 99 was added when we used Buzz for a sign-in on another website and Buzz was already taken. Karen

    I'm like Stacey...
    I'm like Stacey, just used my first name and middle initial because I wanted something I could remember - LOL. Went through a lot of days where my brain was in a fog and thought that if I couldn't remember my name to log in then I shouldn't even be on the computer :)

    I used to live in Florida and miss those oranges so much. After we moved back to NH my boss used to vacation in Florida and he would always bring my back some. He doesn't vacation there anymore so I don't get them anymore :(

    Love your kittys!!

    Well since you all know I love to fish...I'm also on several fishing forums too, who'd a thunk..

    I used to have a Carolina Skiff boat, a J16 which was a 16' model.

    So that's where the Skiffin16 came from.

    Screen Name
    The screen name 'rush1958' is a combination of my first name, "Rush" and the year I was born, "1958."

    It's not very original, but it is simple and easy to remember. More interessting is how I got the name "Rush." I was originally due to be born on Christmas Day, but came a month early on Thanksgiving. My mother thought the name was appropriate under the circumstances.

    Rush

    Kind of stupid now that I see others
    Well, I had about 6 variations of first name, last name, then initials that were already taken, and then I chose this one not really thinking that it would be what everyone saw. I never really did much with discussion boards before. Now it just looks kind of silly that I chose it. I'm glad to have the chance to explain that, though, since I was kind of embarrassed about it.

    It works
    I spotted it right away because I'm an NPC survivor. I said to myself "there's an NPC sister". There's only a few of us on here and I could be wrong but I think you're the only active NPC lady at this time. I like your handle. Welcome.
