an acquaintance used to write under the alias Billy Flamingo. Now it's my alias. Perhaps I should change it to Calico, or her name, Mistletoe.

your cat looks so much like my son's cat, Torrie. She's a tortishell. Beautiful animal! But waaaay too smart!

My wife was a Special Ed teacher for 34 years.

[Tom Hannon]

I came up with the name Tom Hannon because it was the name my parents gave me when I was born. Actually, when I signed on with TOTV I was aware that the name I used would be my screen name. Otherwise I would have used TOJOPA which many people still call me. It was the name of my business I owned for 36 years. Stands for TOmJOePAtrick which was my full name. Happy St. Patty's Day to all.

[Yankee Quilter]

Silly me thought you had to have one, so used one from a blog! Yankee because I am from Connecticut (go Lady Huskies) the whole family are NYY fans and, now living in the south, I am learning to be damn proud to be a Yankee! Quilter because I dabble in it, love it and wish I could be fabulous at it - oh well, a thread ripper is my favorite quilting tool!!!
This is a great thread!

[Floridagal]

Moved to Florida and I consider myself a nice gal, so I am now Floridagal.

[swrinfla]

Sorry to have missed most of the early portion of this thread. Stuff like that happens when you go away for a while.

Not terribly creative, but lots of folks wonder "What the h***?"

SWR = my initials
IN = the word "in"
FLA = an abbreviation for Florida.

Briefly, before actually moving to TV, I was also SWRINSTL, signifying that I lived in Saint Louis.

I use it at CruiseLineFans, as well.

[TV-4-2]

After learning that The Villages is (seems like it should be "are") abbreviated TV on most postings I chose TV as the first part.
Then, being diabolically clever, I substituted 4 for for (pardon my redundancy.)
On a roll by that time, I ingeniously used 2 for two, thus giving TV-4-2 (my wife and I as soon as we can sell our home.)

[ducati1974]

Not my first choice. I was supposed to be HVACman57 (occupation and year of birth) but the administrator felt I could be trying to solicit business in TV and so disallowed this name. Ducati is just the brand name of a factory prototype motorcycle I used to own. No idea why I chose that at the time. 1974 was the year of my HS graduation. Again, no idea why I used that either. Would have preferred my more descriptive first choice.

[natickdan]

I live in the town of Natick and my name is Dan. As you can see, I'm not very creative

[CarGuys]

My CarShow and Business Syracuse DBA name.

When I retire in July it's gonna change to re-tread!
