There are SO many similar names on here. For instance we have Villages Pl who is a guy and Villages Fl who is a girl and four trillion golf this and golfer that and a billion Villages something or other. Then there are the jumbled letters and not mind sticker names like jdbfan or stl425.

I kind of remember who is who if they have a picture or an avatar but lots of times I will think...is that who said this a couple of weeks ago? I thought this was a girl but maybe it is a guy?

Am I the only one who gets confused?

I will look at a string of their posts if I cannot remember if this is that guy from MA or that woman from San Francisco.

Digging back into your vault is a good way to keep your mind going.

I think it's normal to be confused with 346 friends that you have.

Some people I am in contact on a frequent basis and that seems to help. Some have unusual handles that help.

Then, to add to the confusion, you have jerks like me that like to change their avatars.

Gracie, I'm gonna work on a catchy handle so it will help you remember who I am. Now let me think.........

Waddaya talkn' about. My avatar is a picture of me!

I believe the names are unique and in fact have to be becaue TOTV cannot add a memeber unless they have uniques username

I was going to say I don't worry about TOTV names I have a hard enough time calling the grandkids by the correct name

Can we get a "do-over"? When I first came on this site I didn't realize how many "Villages" names there would be. If I could change my name, I might decide to be "Healthy Guy" or Nutrition Man. I don't think you would forget that, would you?

Graciegirl, you've been on this board so many years I think you have outgrown your name. You should be Graciewoman.

Yes, it can get confusing sometimes but I try not to worry about it. So what if I don't remember someone; I don't think it's that big of a deal. It usually means that they don't post very often. The ones I remember are the full time professional posters. They probably work for The Villages Realty.

It has just come to my attention that some may have hundreds of "friends". In that case, it could be a problem remembering everyone. One thing I wonder: How would you know how many of them are still living? Eventually, people die and you would have no way of knowing. Then part of your list would become a memorial.
