I love the British mini-series Pride and Prejudice in which Colin Firth plays Mr. Darcy. He's so perfect in that role that I can't watch any other version of it. The picture is of my Tibetan Spaniel/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Beauregard Jackson, aka Bodie.

Default Swampy

When I was a kid one of my smart little buddies, realizing my name "Marshall" for which most people called me "Marsh", was almost synonymous to "Swamp", felt Swampy was more appropriate than Marsh. BUT, in my neurotic insecure state I resented the name "Swampy". Now that I have the privilege of attaining the wisdom of "old age" I can't wait to be a kid again, and realize that Swampy is the "me" whom I most enjoy! "Its never to late to be a kid"

Villager - well, I guess it's pretty self explanatory, but not too creative.

I though long and hard about it and then was amazed that no one had it already. I have tried for many years on many websites to use this name and it was only available here. I think it is very creative.

We have been using Mojoe for quite some time (my first name Maureen and my husband Joe). All of our friends always would say "Hey Mo Joe." So everyone just started collectively calling us Mojoe. Sadly, Joe passed away on January 31. I will still be Mo or Maureen but I will continue to use mojoe as my TOTV name and my email.

Thought I'd be a hermit (eremite), when I retired in '06.

Many years ago I called one of my sons at his workplace. Another young man answered the phone. I asked to speak to my son and the fellow yelled across the room, "hey Kevin, phone call, it's YO' mama" and I have been yomama ever since....

Trish, I am improving. I am up north with the family for Easter, so that helps. Will be coming back to TV on Sunday. It will be hard but I am doing one day at a time. And praying a lot. Thanks for asking. When will you be coming to The Villages?
