He likes the water. I usually sit in the tub with the water running. Plus it helps get all the ick down the drain.Quote:

Thanks Alty for starting this thread - because its nice to relax around a campfire sometimes and share the stars together, but also because some of the members we've missed seem to have come back - if nothing else, just to say hi! It makes it more like a family reunion - if only for the weekend.
Alty/Sunny/et al. sorry for the mishaps with the skins - we really aren't doing anything on our end and as Cliff said it's an issue of straddling three different skins that the system sometimes gets a little messed up - we call them gremlins.
Is it OK to ask how people ended up with their usernames? Some are pretty straightforward like Alty or ScottGem but others like Synnen seems further a field... I'm rpray2007 because my name is Ram Prayaga (PLEASE NOTE: you don't have to name yourself - that's not my intention), and I signed up at some site (I forget which) in 2007 and almost arbitrarily went with rpray + year. It's stuck - sorry not very exciting I know.
I worked for a guy who signed up with AOL when he was a tween and wanted a cool name, but didn't know how to spell very well so ended up with the very cool 'Nigma.' By they way, this guy (in his mid-20s) is now in a monastery - great guy!
I'll bite,
LadySam is a combination of 2 of the most wonderful pets anyone ever had.
Lady came along just about a year before the birth of my first child and gave us 15 years of unconditional love.
Sam or Sammy was a beagle that found us, he was a mess when we found him, but an absolute joy from day 1.
Since I posted in the pet boards it just seemed right.
I think we had a reason-for-username thread going a while ago, but haven't seen it for a few years.
On all other Q&A sites since 1998, I was CeeBee, my initials spelled out. When I registered for this site, I decided to consider my library background and years of wondering (about reference sources and yes, patrons), so I named myself Wondergirl. I would give anything to change it to CeeBee. Wondergirl sounds too much like Supergirl, and that I am not! I just wonder a lot.
Ram, it is perfectly acceptable to ask. Those who want, will answer. Those who don't won't.Quote:

It is also permissible to ask what someone wishes to be called. If you prefer something other than Ram, let us know.
Also, welcome to AMHD. I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. :D
I wish I had some cool story for my name. Aurora, have always loved the name and Bell just seemed to fit. But I like to pretend it's what scooby doo would sound like it he was saying adorable! Lol

Synnen is something of an inside joke. I'm a geek girl, but it took me a bit to like online games, though my husband played them. When he started playing Dark Age of Camelot, he chose the name Rolynd (from Brownings' poem). His brother visited us shortly after he started playing and was constantly singing that song "Rollin' with the Homies". When the hubby got a last name in the game, he chose Widahomeas. His brother rolled a character Kykyn Widahomeas, and several friends chose names to go with it as well--Rockyn, Ridyn, Mezzyn, Wafflestompyn, etc. They kept bugging me to play, and I said I would when I could think of a good name. Synnen (sinnin') came to me a few months later, and I've been some form of Synn online since (Synn, Synna, Synnamyn, Synnin, whatever). If you see the name in an online game, it's probably me.
That's a good story!Quote:

I'm afraid my username is boring too... its my first initial and last name. It is a whopper of a last name though! I popped in to ask a question, and ended up staying around for a year. I would have picked something more clever if I knew I'd be here awhile.
I encourage you to fill out your profile if you haven't already, add links to your favorite blogs, sites, etc. This is your space to let people know who you are. Of course, some of you are a little (ok, a lot) private, but at least let us see what you are willing to share. It doesn't have to be your resume, but experience, life story, etc. would be great ;-)
I'll be reading your stories since you've got me intrigued.
My daughter just turned seven (Waffles, as I like to call her). I attached a picture!
K, she is adorable. I hope she had a great birthday. :)
I love kids that age... they are cute and fun but not mouthy like they get when they get closer to their teens. I wish my daughter was still seven.
So did Waffles get all the candles in one try?
Anyway, user names... I've had this name for years. I always liked Norse Mythology and Odin was a great "character" or "god" in all of that. I had a white Husky and named him Odinn because of this. I started using the name but then when he died, I made sure it is always a lower case "o" as a symbol of respect to my lost buddy. I'm not going to explain the number part of it as it probably won't make sense to anyone and you'll all just be sitting there like "wtf?"
She did not get all the candles, but in her very dramatic way, she said she didn't have to because she had everything she wanted already. I'm so glad my children's birthdays are spaced out, because I am just totally wiped from that party.
How on earth did she get the nickname Waffles? She likes waffles??
I usually end up calling the kids whatever has been on my mind at the moment, but she does actually like waffles. Waffles was from an episode of 2 and a half men, where charlie was the kids performer Charlie Waffles. It also rhymes with falafels, which I have also called her. Her pigtails look like falafel because her hair is so poufy. I've called her Beans, which came from calling her Trini Beanie. Buggy makes an appearance every now and then, but most of my nicknames seem to revolve around food!
Now my little boy has some really odd ones. One of my favorites is Mayor Mikey We. (Adam West episode of family guy, when he ran out of lite brite pieces). He also gets Mikeysaurus Rex, and my sister calls him Mikey Gadaffi because he was a miserable, albeit well dressed baby that terrorized the house for his first year.
My poor kid gets names like "Stinkerpot" and "Fussapotamus"... yours are far more clever.
I missed so much! Teach me to go to work! ;)
Okay, well Alty is pretty easy actually. My original username was Altenweg, my last name. No one could spell it, and it was way too long, so someone shortened it to Alty. I don't even remember who. Anyway, I too didn't think I'd stick around on this site, so I picked a name I knew I'd remember. A while back I begged to have it changed to Alty. I'm pretty sure I had to give up my first born to have it done, but seeing as he's a 13 year old boy, no one has come to collect him. :)
Nicknames for my kids. Well, Syd was "Boo" when she was little, because she looked like Boo from Monsters Inc. A friend started calling her that, and still does, but he's the only one that can get away with it now. Sneezy calls her Dimples, but, again, he's the only one that's allowed to call her that. I call her Syd, or Sydney bean.
When Jared was little I called him Mr Munch, because that kid ate everything he could get his hands on. Schatzie (sweetie in German), and now it's Jare bear (which he hates). Seeing as he's 13 now, and a typical teen, most times he's called brat, but usually not to his face. ;)
Okay, I get a little busy at work for the past fewe days and y'all go all chatty on me.
For those who remember alkalineangel, she has returned after about four years and has a thread in active members. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/active...us-645584.html
J, Alty wants us to be chatty. I think she is getting her wish. :)
I had a bad night. Have a baby who was shipped to a higher level of care and is on neonatal brain cooling. HOWEVeR!! I can't look it up on my computer. When I Google it I get a list of sites but when I click on them advertising comes up instead of the actual website. I'm doing a virus check now, I've done Malwarebytes, I don't know what else to do.
Somebody help me before I go into withdrawals! I'm currently operating under safe mode!
BEN!! Where are you? I wish you could "remotely" fix my computer! I'm detoxing from FB games and it's not pretty!
J, if you need something looked up let me know. I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Could you look up "neonatal brain cooling" and provide me a link? I would like to see if I click on it and I get it or it comes up more advertising. Thanks!
Done!Quote:

This is a link that should have absolutely no advertising attached to it: Head Cooling Guideline
It's from Vanderbilt University.
Oh, thank you so much. It WORKED... now going to go read it!Quote:

My thoughts and prayers go out for both baby and mother.
I understand what you mean. I sometimes wish more young females really understood the dangers. But even then they are in denial.
Apparently this mother thought that CPR was used with every delivery. While they were doing CPR she was texting her friends. It's very sad indeed and I'm sure I will have nightmares today. I just wish I could reach out to the teens better.
Hey! That's an idea... I could become certified in teen pregnancy!
I think you would do great in that specialty. Just remember that slapping them senseless is not a good method of treating them.
I wish I could I could think of anything to soften the concern and give you better dreams. You know where to find me, if there is anything I can do. Yes, that includes sharing the flirt. ;)
Cat, as soon as I read what J wrote my first thought was "slap them senseless!" Darnit. Are you sure it's not an option, because it sure would feel good! ;)Quote:
