Just re-found this thread.

Peggy (no explation needed there--although I actually am a "Margaret") "Peggy" was already taken.

D is for the last name--a long Italian last name. Hubby of 40 yr is Italian.

I tell everyone I married him for his pretty eyes and his mothers' good cooking!

mm (initials) clover name of my female shepherd in background of picture. I changed picture from Pedro my (Amazon) parrot. Will probably change the picture from time to time, but not the name. Nothing real exciting just easy to remember.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

This thread is good for a few giggles now that some you posted new pictures. Redwitch, Donna, Brightspot01, Barb1192, Nonie, Ouma1938 and The Great Fumar go back and look at your posts from Jan. They made laugh.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

My TOTV name is one I used to use on NTN trivia and is courtesy of one of my nieces and her friends. About 20 -25 years ago, I used to return to KC periodically to visit family. At a pub one evening, one of my nieces introduced me to her friends as "This is my uncle Bill." (She said it rather rapidly, running the words together.) Well, one of the rather cute young girls started calling me Muncle Bill. Hey, when you're a 40 year old bachelor and some good looking 25 year old girl calls you anything, you respond. Unfortunately, the name stuck among some of the girls. I was back recently for a funeral and a rather fashionable middle-aged woman walked up, hugged me, and said "Hey Muncle!"

About the avatar/picture: I can't see it from here so I don't know which one it is. Probably has no significance whatsoever, and will likely be changed in a short while.

It's unfortunate that the avatars do change in old posts whenever you update your profile. Kinda makes posts like Red's earlier one seem a bit strange. Here's the picture of the blushing bride and her comment that her pic shows her with her daughter. :yikes:

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

I enjoyed reading how people chose their names on TOTV.

If I want a good laugh I know I can always count on Hyacinth Bucket to provide one.

I really like the show KEEPING UP APPEARANCES, a British Sitcom.

Patricia Routledge is an award winning actress - she plays Hyacinth Bucket.

If you want to know more about Hyacinth please go to http://kuacentral.com/

If you click on postcards you will easily see what I look like, if you click on cookbook the title will tell you even more about "Our Hyacinth" and the name of the show.

I also enjoy many other Britcoms - Does anyone else watch them?

Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet)

I guess it's time for me to 'fess up. Thirty years ago we loaded the kids into the car, towing the popup, and traveling down to Florida from New York State. Outside of Savannah we found ourselves in a campground adjacent to the Marshes of Glynn. 'Wow,' I thought, 'this is the place made famous by Sidney Lanier!' So I signed in at the campground as 'Sidney Lanier' rather than my own name. Remember, in those days everything was handwritten; the owner of the campground simply copied the name into his book without batting an eye. 'This is fun,' I thought, and from that point, wherever we were, I signed in using a name historically relevant to the area where we were. No one ever picked up on it. When we got back to Virginia, I signed in as 'Thomas Jefferson,' and as usual no response. I should have signed in as 'George Washington'.... Ever since then, when I need to use a pseudonym, it's traditionally 'Sidney Lanier'!

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Sidney,

I think I am hijacking a thread here, but I don't even care anymore. I think I may have even "diatribed" :) somewhere on here today which I swore I would never do.

Anyway, I have to tell you that I like your name and the reason behind it.

And I just have to share somethiing.

We all remember the days before electronic pagers when crowded restaurants paged you over a loudspeaker when it was your turn to be seated. My version of fun was to tell the hostess our name was Donner. Sometimes the highlight of the evening was hearing the voice over the speakers calling out, "The Donner party, your table is waiting."

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

I wanted to see why Sidney Lanier is Sidney Lanier, and I had a recollection of some thread long ago.

I thought it would be fun to see the reason for some of our newer members to tell us about their forum names.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

My name is Grace and my mothers name was Grace and my grandmother called me GracieGirl. Everytime I read my name on here, it brings back a happy feeling. I adored my grandmother.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Well, my current avatar should be a tip off to where the "blue" component of my name comes from (as in "Go Blue!!!"). I grew up in Michigan and went to good 'ol U of M. I still have many good feelings about the state of Michigan and my feelings about the Wolverines borders on rabid (although this football season looks like it will test how well my devotion holds up during trying times).

The "NJ" component reflects my current residency, a state where I have spent virtually all of my adult life and one which I have adopted as "home". Hopefully, at some point in the not-so-distant future I will adopt TV as my home. Then I may change my name to TVBlue.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

WSOX47:

Well, when I decided to send my first note the pressure for a name---one I would actually re-call was there---mounting and a bublin'. I thought I could use my own name but that did not seem to be the spirit of the forum. so what to do--- I decided not to post and that was that!!!

My second explanation: since I have actually posted, and do have that memory thing: WSOX47 = Chicago WHITE SOX #47. Been a long time fan and season ticket holder (actually, 2008 I didn't renew due to uncertainty based on retirement and possible relocation), and #47 = my uniform number.

My name kind of says it all . . . ;)

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

A few years ago when I first wanted to sign up for and start playing on eBay, I must have tried dozens and dozens of ID names, but they were all taken. I then decided that since I was raised in Montreal, I would use the nick name "peasoup" which is what many affectionately called French Canadians. Since peasoup was already taken, I just changed the s to a z, hence peazoup. The picture is of my backyard in June when the hydrangea are the most beautiful.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

The "Kahuna" part of my TOTV identity is a lot of people call me. The picture is me.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Since I really have no nickname, (and obviously no imagination) I used my e-mail address as my name for the forum. I have changed my picture a few times to show my grandchildren, and I had my "Medium" self there for a while as well. I had this squirrel picture up for a while, and I am putting him back up again now. I have an inquisitive squirrel in my backyard that comes up to my doorwall and looks in on me when I am on the computer. He watches me through the window while I am talking to you, so I thought I would put a squirrel there to watch you while you read it.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

23 yrs. ago I told the owner of the restaurant to fill my station, 14 tables, on a super busy Friday night. At the end of the night, in front of staff he says "Rhonda, YOU ROCK!" Someone else said, "Rockin Rhonda!". It stuck. 5 years later, at the new job (15 years there) the owners son called me RR one night, I told him the story and the rest is history. My kids friends still call me rokin! It has nothing to do with my love of dancing!! or Rocky and the Rollers!! LOL

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Really bring and unoriginal- first name and middle initial. No picture yet as I haven't found one I that I can relate to- can't find a pic of playing really bad golf :)

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Although I consider LINY my home, my present home is in MD. My husband called me Blondie...so do my grandkids. I would have just used Blondie, but it was already taken.
That's the whole story. wav

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

When I discovered TOTV on line in April 2007, I knew nothing about it nor anyone on it, so I cautiously proceeded to use a forum name that means absolutely nothing. After our first Crispers meeting, Kathie or HB (help - can't remember!!!) christened me with wiwi (wee wee) and that has made it easier to remember! It took less than a day to become a TOTV addict........

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Picture - Nothing, it happen to be one of the canned ones I could pick from on the forum and he made me look good!

Name - "Dadspet" I guess it sounds strange on this forum but it's the License plate on my sport car " a 1971 V12 Jaguar XKE Series 3 ". The kids decided to get me a custom plate for it one year since I spent a lot of time playing/cleaning/tinkering with it > it was my pet.

With all the car shows in TVs I kind of wish now I had a 2 car plus golf cart garage so I could bring it down with me. But, actually I wouldn't have much time for her now with all the other TV activities we are involved in. Jags/Pets don't like being ignored - they require attention.

I did bring the plates down and have them on my red Precedent Club Car so if you happen to see me or pass me by (yes its a 19.x mph cart) give me a toot toot!

Stjade is a combination of the letters of our names STeve and JAne and the first two letters of our last name DElrey. As for the picture we got married in Las Vegas on 7/7/07 at the Flamingo Hilton ;D

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Mine - NJGranny - describes me. I'm from NJ and I'm a "granny." Also a great granny. I started using that screen name a few years back and just stick with it because it's too hard to remember screen names if you have several. :-)

Picture is me.

What I'm confused about is several people mentioned they had certain pictures up, but what I see isn't what they're describing. I'm not hard to confuse.

Redwitch - especially liked your story. Reminds me of the time one of my granddaughters decided that I was a vampire. It took awhile to convince her that her fears were groundless. :-)

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

I now live in Florida and I'm a nice gal so hence the name Floridagal. The picture is of my cats as I'm a great cat lover.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Wiwi, I love your new avatar. That picture is just great of you. You look stunning.

Ronda, do I detect shades of Cher's Laverne get up in that leopard print? ? ???

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Hi - not to sure why but when I first met you I thought you were French - and that is why you became wiwi to me.

HB

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

Susan - Thank you. I love yours too - your haircut is fantastic. Wouldn't it be cool if you could put your face on that awesome avatar you had earlier that sashayed in and out of the screen!!!!

HB - Wiwi has been fun. Wish I had that French fashion sense of style!!!

Both of you - hurry back!!!! wav

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
 

The businessI owned for 30 years was in distribution of pre recorded music, records, tapes and now they are discs
Thus diskman in regular email i am diskman88 see profile, In other places I am creditman88 as i have been in the debt settlement business helping people with their credit card debt for the past 5 years.

. . .

OK. That is a really old quote. And it is from me. I have just quoted myself. How pathetic is that. It is what I have been driven to doing this afternoon.

Fall is in the air and I have found myself in the grip of some sort of cleaning frenzy here at Boomer Base. So I thought I would sit down at this computer in the kitchen and try to get over it. I have the financial news blaring in the background, and I need to get over that, too.

And I put the old post up there so this one would maybe make a little sense.

So here is what I have decided to think about instead of all that other stuff right now:

I want to lose the BeBack from my screen name. I do not like it anymore. And a couple of things have happened since I signed on last November. First of all, I plan to "be back" to TV. And secondly, as I have come to terms with the vast number of posts I have written here, I realize that the fact that I will "be back" to TOTV goes without saying.

So that whole "BeBack" thing just is not working for me anymore. Silly. I know. But what the heck. It has become way too obvious.

Therefore, I am trying to figure out how to lose the baggage of that last name I no longer like. I want to be just plain Boomer. And I am actually working on an avatar to go with that name. Last November I had not even heard of avatars.

So anyway, I hope to lose the BeBack soon. If I can figure it all out at some point, I will become Boomer, just Boomer, that's it.

I just want to go the route of my fellow boomer, Cherilyn Sarkisian.

Boomer

What a great thread.... Thanks for posting

Another Linda on board.

Meriboo...is a combination of daughters names, Meridith and Brooke (her friends use to call her Boo)

MMC24 has no meaning except to be used as an anonymous handle. The picture is of the baseball team that I follow and of which I am an official memeber of the Red Sox Nation! GOOOO SOX :pepper2:

Cherilyn Sarkisian and Me
 

Oh what a beeeeeeeyoooootiful moorrrrrning,
Oh what a beeeeeeeyoooootiful daaaaaaay,
Got rid of that goofy name "BeBack,"
Everything's going my way.

Well, actually and obviously and, of course, everything is not going my way. But that's the best I could do this morning, could not think of an original rhyme. But hey, little tiny things working right are good, too.

And now, I can just be Boomer. You know. Like Cher.

I wonder if I should go shopping for a new wardrobe to go with this one name thing. Somehow I do not picture my fellow boomer Cher sitting around in her kitchen, wearing flannel, and typing a guzillion posts on some internet site. But maybe she will join us after she retires.

You just never know.

I sure didn't when I showed up here almost a year ago.

You just never know.

Hey, today -- lose the last name. Tomorrow -- a blog?

- -Nope, I don't think so. I still have not figured out the spellcheck download.

But I am working on an avatar.

Boomer, just Boomer

I guess you could say it is a total lack of imagination :shocked:...my name and #'s from our old address!

Just don't know
 

The name just came to me I can't understand from where.
Bill:)

Rozzie has always been my family nickname since I can remember. All my friends on MB's I post on call me Rozzie in person, as I always tell them I may not answer to my real name--Robyn!

The pic is of me in my most very favorite place in the world. Epcot/World Showcase, enjoying my favorite adult beverage. :)

Let me say this about Robyn/Rozzie. I own two of the sweetest daughters you'd ever want to meet, but that girl Rozzie is so caring of her mother!! She is a sweetie. And pretty and smart too. And if you want to know what she does? She is a nurse. Plus she has dog children and a kittie child and to hear her mother talk she also has a great husband. I can't find anything wrong with this kid.

Ahhh Gracie, you are too kind. But I think I got you fooled! As even my DH says, I'm "sweet and sour" LOL! ;)
