What does your screen name mean?

[TedC]

Character in an early James Bond flick?

[Odd Ball]

Sorry Ted, that was Odd Job in the Bond movie.

 

Try again.

[TedC]

I was never good with last names.

[Odd Ball]

Good one.....

 

Since you gave it your best, it is a character Donald Sutherland played in Kelly's Hero's. Clint Eastwood along with a lot of other stars were in the movie. Odd Ball was somewhat of a crazy nut job and drove a tank.

[2bout2c]

2bout2c..reads like what I like to do" to be out to sea.

[cp556]

CP556 =

CP were my initials pre-marriage

556 were the first 3 digits of my cruise agency's phone #.

B-O-R-I-N-G, huh?? lol ....

[Desdemona01]

mine also comes from my love of all things Jimmy Buffett.

[Jemima]

I like the name, but it isn't my real name.

[kakalina]

Good one.....

FYI: he was the tank commander not the driver, but what a strange crew he had, and the name Oddball was just right for him. good movie

Argh.

I'm old and salty and feel very old between cruises.

This was the best thread. Thanks, spendalot. What I find interesting is the fact that there were only 135 replies but 2,489 people who viewed them.

Don't misunderstand the math, kaleighsgram. The 2489 represents separate views of the thread, but not different people. The same person can view many, many times before a thread drops out of sight.

Every time there's a new entry the thread rises to the top of the screen. So every time it does the same person goes in---again---to read the new reply.

[Grampy]

I have three great reasons for mine. Two, four, and seven years old. Cruise with me and I will show you pictures.:D

[earl_m]

[Heart's ease]

My screen name means peace or tranquilty of mind. It's the absence of mental stress or anxiety. Serenity. It is also the name of the violet pansy in the Pacific coast of North America, meaning love-in-idleness.

[Preacher's Kid]

When I was growing up, the "preacher's kid" was an unwanted moniker - and hence the source of much rebellion - and heartbreak for my parents. Now that I'm older, and my dad has gone to that great pulpit in the sky, I choose to honor him by proudly being the Preacher's Kid. My younger sister is still trying to figure out how to be Preacher's Kid 2.

 

Happy sailing,

Karenlynne

[JLC@SD]

Great thread...how did I miss this until now.

 

Mine is obvious, my initials and I am from San Diego. It is a little unique because I do not see many "@"s symbols used.

[Jogafur]

My name came from one of my professors when I was in school. He was a wonderful man from Taiwan, a professor of geography. As a geography major, I took quite a few classes with him. He had a unique way of pronouncing "geographer"

 

It's sort of a tribute to him, and to my two degrees in geography.

[julia]

My "formal" first name...

 

Not too innovative, but I use it on dozens of boards and it sure is easy to remember!

[dare2dream]

I watched on the sidelines as DH and 3 kids enjoyed the technology of computers. Finally Mom was ready to jump in. My screen name is my reminder to dare to dream. Life has so much to offer and I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines. I still don't know everything about all this computer stuff but I am trying.

 

When one door closes another opens. I was layed off from a dead end job after 12 years but received funding to go back to college. After raising a family for 26 years it is now Mom Time. I have completed one year of a two year program in accounting and am loving it.

 

I could never justify the money for a cruise with kids to take care of. They grew up and moved out and I got an unexpected inheritance from Grandma. Last summer DH and I enjoyed our 25th anniversary on the Veendam in Alaska.

 

May you also dare to dream and enjoy this journey called life.

[VABeach]

It means that I spend waaaaaay too much time in Virginia Beach. :)

[Blue Eyes]

I have very blue eyes, they are so blue that when I got one contact lens so I do not have to find my reading glasses, I could not even get any tint in it. My Dr. says they are the bluest eyes he has ever seen....hence my name...Blue Eyes

[boomerSexyK]

A great thread....always interesting to see what people were thinking when they signed on for the 1st time

 

boomer = my nickname from high school, followed me all my life

 

SexyK = the love of my life and she hates the name, but hasn't figured out how to change it!!!:D

[MumsTheWord*]

I am a very proud Mum of 3 wonderfully, precious children...and around our house...

Mums the Word!:p

 

*Mum, where's my socks?*

*Mum, what's for supper?*

*Mum, Can we go with you on your next cruise?*:o

*Mum, do I have to go to bed now?*
