What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
I'm slightly curious about the names and pictures we choose to use for TOTV. Some of us have a straight forward simple use of our first name and many have a "handle" we go by. Some of us put our real pictures out there others put avatars out there.
What draws you to use or not use your real name & pictures? What motivates you to change your picture from time to time? If you use a "handle" what is the story, the soul, the essence, roots, spirit, simplicity, mystery behind the name you choose. Barbi |

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
PIC: The pic is my daughter and me shortly after she moved in with me (the adoption was finalized 4 years later due to some major court battles). Changing a pic takes effort, so you guys are stuck with this for awhile.
NAME: When she'd been with me about 3 months, she was playing with the snow globes in the dining room while I was cleaning the bathroom. I told her to put the snow globe down. She came running in and asked how I knew. I told her I now had "mommy eyes in the back of my head." Later, when I sat down, she started parting my hair in the back. This continued halfway down my back. All of a sudden, with eyes as huge as I'd ever seen, she said, "You don't have eyes in the back of your head .... you're a WITCH" Took me about 3 months to get her to come near me after that. Well, when I had to come up with an online name, she looked at me like I was nuts as I struggled to come up with something that fit me. "Duh, Mom, redwitch." And I've been RW ever since. (Yes, the hair is red and I think she now pronounces the W with a B.)

brightspot: That is what my children and grandchildren are in my life.
01: When I chose this nic years ago someone already had taken it on the site I was on so I had to add the numbers behind it to get it. My pic: I was in a flamboyant mood at the time. It will change often-sometimes you'll see the real me and others times you won't. |

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
OK Barbi! I've been waiting for this. You have to tell us about yours too! By the way great Topic to put out there, I love it!!!!
Mine is so easy its boring! its me, (just a few short years ago) LOL! Time goes so fast I just cant remember how long ago it actually was! (And if you believe that one, well you know the rest) Thats my real name and Im wondering if its really a good thing to be so darn honest! Live and learn. It was taken in Hawaii and the bird I fell in love with in a pet shop. They tried to convince me to buy as much as I wanted that birdie, wouldnt hear of it. They basically stuff them in a cardboard toilet paper roll and ship it to you by air. Couldnt stand the thought. So tell us Barbie who is the gorgeous girl in the picture?????

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
Name comes from my South African heritage, Ouma is Grandma in Afrikaans, and 1938 is the year I was born. So, ouma1938.
The picture is of one of my birds, a cockatiel ("rooster"tiel when its censored) named Loopy. He is a little love and gives me a wolf whistle first thing every morning. Its fun to wake up to.

Re: What's behind your TOTV name and picture?
I think I owe a big thanks to all who answered. You are wonderful!! However I still see a lot of interesting names unexplained so keep the posts coming. I had so many thoughts as I read your replies I decided to capture them in one note.
Hope2B – My real name is Barbara --- professional photo just a few “women” years back and similar to your name. I know, boring – I may change my name to something with more spirit if I can figure out how do it. RedWitch - loved your story and photo. Shows compassion and fun. I doubt your daughter uses the B. I2ridehd – You too are inspiring me to change my name to something with more passion. Avista – new years resolution to live on a street in TV by year end English – I’m still guessing at yours but think I got it Donna – I love horses and your choice of picture Brightspot –I think a few guys are interested in the picture and agree grandchildren are your name. Kathie – You know I’m looking for Ken and need your help. I’m counting on you. Barb1191 – I want to be in that picture too. Nonie – You’re not boring and I like your name. Glad you didn’t ship the bird. Ouma1938 – Learned a new name for grandma. You and Nonie need to get together for birdie fun day. Great Fumar – I bow to you. |
