My screen name is a very convoluted and complex compilation of my first initial (E for Ed) and my last name (Weissenbach). Please don't ask me to explain the self deliberation that allowed me to come up with it. My avitar has changed several times depending upon my mood. Currently it is me in the Gulf at Sarasota and it represents me in the Gulf at Sarasota. My screen name in most sites in which I lurk is Oldcoach, or Oldcoach Ed and I use it as my signiture on this site. Explaination: I am old and I used to be a coach ...... Oh, and my name is Ed! Now you know all my internet secrets.

sure not hard to figure me out... born and raised in n.j...just not at the jersey shore. used to spend one or two weeks vacation there as a kid -depended on how well dad had done with commissions. i sooooo loved the beach and the ocean - even on a rainy day! when it came time to apply to college i aksed if there was a college at the jersey shore - was told yes - so i said i'd go there! counselor wanted me to apply to safety/back-up school 'cause 97% of grads went to institutions of higher learning...told him i did not want to be institutionalized and if he wanted me to be part of the 97% he'd get me into monmouth college! stretched my college yrs to 4 1/2, found a man to marry and have been here ever since - just a short one mile walk down the street to the atlantic! ye gads! - 45 years! i gotta throw a party!

My grandmother who raised me and Sweetie call me Graciegirl.

It always makes me smile.

I am Gracie....but no longer a girl.

Talking Cold it be??

When you know that I have restored four of these cars, my name and avatar become obvious. My avatar is my current and final restoration. We will bring it with us when we move to TV.

Mine came from a couple passions. l2ridehd is Love to ride Harley Davidsons. I was going to use the bike as the avatar, (2006 Road King Classic) but chose another couple passions from a picture I saw. Food and Wine. Love to cook, and have a wine cellar with about 700 to 800 bottles of really good wine. Have to have a huge party when I move to TV. Now if I could just get him to hold a golf club, would have them all.

Well, my name comes from what I do, at least until my wife gets her retirement date and we can be full timers in TV and not just weekenders! But I am an Officer in the Army.
My avatar is a watercolor that was made for one of the units I served with in my 30+ years, the 11th Armored Cav. It is called, "Freedom's Final Frontier" and pictures a Border Patrol on the Fulda Gap in what was West Germany. My first assigments as a 2nd & 1st LT where with the 11th pulling Border Duty and those years and experiences shaped my future and helped make me what I am today.
I have the actual signed picture in my Living Room in TV.

My wife's name is Ila, mine is Wallace. Last name is King.

It took a lot of imagination, but I settled on iandwk.

Very interesting reading on some of these. I must be a little boring LOL. My only thing is my name is acually spelled Bonnie, but that was taken so I just spelled it with a Y.

My screen name is my first initial and last name. My avatar is one of 2 pheasants who decided sitting in the tree, outside my dining room, on a cold winter day was the thing to do. I came home from work about 4 pm and saw them earing the miniature crab apples. It was difficult to get a good picture, but the one in my avatar cooperated and I was able to get a clear shot from inside the house. I have lived in this house, in a rural area, for about 20 years and it was the first time I had seen pheasants so close to the house.

I wonder if any TOTV members are able to pronounce my last name?

Too many syllables, K-9. Nice try, though!
