I run, and I am a man...yes a real man, not just someone who identifies as a man.

I am enjoying reading these...nice post!

Cheers!

 

[TheRunningMan]

I'm from Louisiana and my favorite 2 LSU shirts said "Geaux Tigers" and "LSU Girl". I combined it for geauxgirl. The website I was on ALREADY had a geauxgirl, so I became ugeauxgirl.

I love it!

 

[Lsbcal]

My initials + Cal for California.

But it also can stand for Least Significant Bit in CALifornia.

Some clever choices here. I think you can get a moderator to change your username.

 

[W2R]

When I first joined the forum, I was still working but longing to retire with every fiber of my being. So, I chose the username "Want2Retire".

When I actually retired, I needed to change my username since "Want2Retire" no longer made any sense. But I couldn't think of a new one that wasn't already taken.

At the last minute, REWahoo suggested "W2R" since everybody was calling me that anyway (in threads, as an informal abbreviation). I liked the idea so that's what I selected.

 

[lauradrops]

Laura is my name and I tend to be a bit clumsy and drop things, so Hubby called me Lauradrops and it stuck

 

[MuirWannabe]

I love the mountains, nature, and hiking. But I live in the Dallas area. Go figure.

 

[W2R]

When I was a teenager I befriended a young lass and she once took me water-skiing behind the family boat. As I was in the water with the ski rope in my hand I noticed that "PB4USKI" was on the stern of the boat. I always thought it was clever. Since I also snow ski, it seemed appropriate.

I have been amused at how long it has taken some member to see the light on the meaning.

It took me years!

Until you explained on the forum a few years ago, I thought it meant that you were from a Russian family, whose members were crazy about peanut butter. Seriously, I did!

("Peanut Butter For Us", +"ki" because of being Russian?)

It is indeed a very clever usename!

 

[Ally]

Ally was my cat at the time, who passed away years ago. I used her name, because she was nearby when I was trying to think of a username.

 

[BeWealthy]

I'm trying to convince myself that I can live a retirement with a sense of abundance. This is quite different than the frugal attitude of saving that I am used to.

 

[ATX78701]

ATX for Austin. 78701 for the zip code I lived in.

 

[N02L84ER]

Not To Late For Early Retire (NAughtTwoLEightFourEarlyRetire)
I retired at 52.

 

[LRDave]

LR is for Little River (as in Little River Canyon National Preserve). I was using that handle on some hiking and kayaking forums at the time and it was at the top of my mind the first time I found this community. "Dave" is for the guy that founded Wendy's...

 

[mountainsoft]

I work for a business that makes synthetic latex products

See, I would have thought your name was based on a fetish.

I just figured out your screen name last week, that's why I started this thread.

 

[rk911]

a nearly 35-yr career in public safety comms the last 28+ at a regional 9-1-1 call center.

 

[CCBoard]

CC - I have worked most of my career in a Call Center.

Board - Board games are my number one hobby.

I use a different username on other message boards. I suppose I just wanted to be somewhat more disconnected here.

 

[Dtail]

I am very detailed in most everything I do. That's all.

 

[Gunny]

Served 20 years in the Marines.

 

[BoodaGazelle]

Is there something funny about my screen name?

 

[iloveyoga]

Mine is easy.

 

[DrRoy]

My first two initials are DR. In college, when sometimes the mail would come addressed that way, people accused me of pretending to be a doctor to get free stuff and I found it amusing.

 

[Venturer]

I ride a Yamaha Royal Star Midnight Venture,and also go on camping trips for adventure. So that makes me a Venturer. Plus I am also in an online motorcycle club called The Venturers.

 

[Lewis Clark]

Yes, unrelated because—https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_The_Sullivans_(DD-537)

I knew about this ship. The Sullivans were five brothers, so that's five people rather than two.

 

[latexman]

So....you fight crime wearing a suit made of latex?

Yes, and it is spread very thin. Paint joke.

I suspect paint made from latex from plants/reactor lines I designed and built are in almost everyone's home(s) here.

How awesome is that?? Much better than a superhero suit- maybe..
