What's In A Name?

[studyhard]

Gee, I wish I had some sort of nifty thought process behind my nickname....but I thought, well, I want to study hard and pass so why not be studyhard? Which reminds me, I shouldn't even be here in this off-topic thread...according to my notebook, I'm supposed to be working on Humanities, Section 7 of IC.

Mine's just my first name and part of my last name, not too creative, but easy for me to remember for sign-on. (My middle-aged brain is taxed enough remembering what I need to know for testing!)

I read in my Psychology study that our IQ peaks in our 20's, and then remains fairly steady until our 40's, when it begins to decline. Well, at 46, I can definitely feel the decline! :eek: I just don't remember things as well as I used to.

[Faith50]

Mine is the result of the mid-life crisis that led me to finally finish my degree. I was getting ready to turn 50 and my daughter (who was a University of Phoneix on-line student) talked me into checking out the UoP campus in Cincinnati. I met with an academic counselor on a Friday morning and started Saturday classes the next day!! I know I've always been a little impulsive, but this was major!! Anyway, since this was my fourth attempt in three decades, two states, and four schools to finally finish, I knew I had to have a lot of faith to add one more thing to my busy life and accomplish my goal, hense the name Faith50. It's two years later - I'm in my last class and have one more Dantes exam to take. It's been a wild journey, but well worth it! Now I just have to decide what's next!!

[Matymus]

I chose my user name because I love the Anne of Green Gables series...I have a best friend (or bosom friend for you other Anne fiends!) that has dark hair, I have red hair. We read the books together and viola! I was Anne, she was Diana. 15 years later we are going to PEI together to see Anne's house and island!!

(We always thought it would be fun to take "Fred and Gilbert" along but Gil is still out there searching for me!!hilarious So we are leaving Fred and going ourselves!)

You are something else, Annegirl!

[twitterflix]

My screen name, is a pet name one of my friends gave me, to make fun of me (because im flighty and crazy). It kinda grew on me so i used it for my screen name.

Just a bump for some of our newer members who may care to post....

[barbara2bba]

My name is my first name and then 2 (to) b (be) B.A. I actually got a B.S. degree but I didn't want my name to be BS. The stigma!

[a4tunatemom]

I chose a4tunatemom because I feel very fortunate to be the mother of my children. When I made it up for my hotmail email address I had 4 children but now I have six, two by birth and 4 through the blessing of adoption.

My favorite word.

A sudden revelation, or sudden comprehension. I prefer it when used in the lateral thinking sense rather then esoteric.

My 2nd favorite word is "Eureka!", but it's no good as a screen name and it sounds like urethra. I mean no disrespect to anyone whose name is urethra.
