This is great!
Mine name is obvious, I think.
I love tabby cats. Especially orange ones.
Though I'm not sure if I tame them, or if they tame me. Either way, I figure the names works
Momtoeight found me the picture I have incorporated into my signature. Thanks, M28!

Well ya see there sidewinder...
I coudda shudda wudda...but I did not..why?
Well when I first come on Lymenet I walked into a bar room brawl, with people accusing some of hiding behind their "Hollywood" name.
Soooooooo, not wanting to EVER give that impression, being the open wonderful, handsome, rich ( Ok. perhaps NOT rich) and caring person that I am, I chose MY initials, and last name.
Of course this is my STAGE name, when I stand in for MEL!!!!!!

Well, I wanted someting with two syllables, a modified noun, & something that was meaningful to me.
lightfoot: to honor walking lightly on the earth. to remind me to keep it light. I can get a little intense, have you noticed? to think of myself as a lightfoot gal. Too corny, huh!

Hi lymefriends I have used badkitti for all my accounts for several years,here is the story behind the name.
I chose Badkitti for my kitty Snoopy.. You see he could not be nuetured (very high risk for surgery)due to medical complications when he was young..
When I tried to add a new male kitty to our home( thought he'd like the company since he was an indoor only kitty) - He loved the kitten for the 1st year then he turned into physco-kitty and fought with the other kitty.. and started spraying to lay claim to HIS home.. I had to give the new addition to friend to stop this badkitti behavior..My badkitti snoopy behaved for many years after that until he passed away last Jan. when he became very ill and had to have an emergency surgery ..He was 10 ..I loved my Kitty more than anything in the world..Still do Sandi

Havinng a life threatening situation myself, a couple of years ago I began saying Peace, or Peace my friend and signing emails Peace.
Coming to the realization that life too short for all the BS and ugliness that I could communicate to all whom I was close to - serenity, smiles, be present in one's life and the peace that all who were sick with this horrific disease (my hubby) find the inner peace,serenity and strength to press forward.

The name means I can be hopeful it happens quickly, 1,2,3!!!
I knew I would be posting from work, so I wanted some protection in case they had the nerve to insist I actually do work for them.
If I really wanted to be anonymous I wouldn't have stated where I lived - it's a very small town. I would have said something like Dutchess County.

Thanks for the topic, it's fun! I was sick for 8 yrs prior to diagnosis and felt so lost and helpless during that time. I was initially so excited to get a diagnosis in that I felt I had a target to attack. I envisioned the lymes and the theme music from the movie "rocky" and started attacking. Made a lime green shirt into a warrior shirt with permanent marker and a bead tally. Well, I'm at the end of the 2nd mo now, feeling not too different, and a little less warrior like. But I try to revive the feeling every so often.

I am a Youth Minister with aspirations to be a missionary hence the name. I was hoping to be a bush pilot for missionaries when my kids were in college but now that I am "afflicted" I will never get a medical certificate to fly again. At least I broke 100 hours before I got sick. So I still concider my self Sent By Him to do His work and presently work with 10-12 year olds and occasionally help with the 6-9s as I will tommorow. Lots of fun stories. I owe my lovely wife for finding this site, and tin cup she cannot play golf for the same reason!!

When my nephews were young they could not say my name, which is Lynnelle. So, it came out as nellbell and stuck. For Mom's day a few years ago my kids got me an ankle bracelet with a bell hanging on it. Now if we are shopping and apart they just listen for the bell. LOL

After many years of feeling like crap...("Don't know what you could have", "you'll just have to wait and get sick again" remarks)...I found out I had lyme (after pinning my new GP to the wall)!
Good thing I had someting. My family has no risk factors and I am an extreme health - fitness nut. I "knew" something was wrong, but always sucked it up and pushed through it anyways.
I am an endurance distance triathlete "on hold". It's pretty amazing that I have completed 2 ironman distance triathlons and 5 marathons, as well as many other events while being on lyme!! and it makes sense why my performances were subpar...it is no longer as frustrating.
Thanks to this site, I've hooked up to a decent treatment program and am totally focused on kicking the LD in the butt!!!

Fish -- a nickname from my high school days. When I was known as Fish, I was completely in control of my body and health; not fighting LD...I chose it to inspire me to fight the good fight!

'Kwels' is a Frisian word. It means something like 'lame, crippled'
I also use this name when I'm playing the videogame 'Quake III Arena'. You play this game online with other people. In a 3D fantasy world you attack each other with all sort of weapons. The most common term of abuse there is 'lame(r)': 'You play lame!' or 'fu, lamer!'
In Dutch language 'ik kwel' means 'I tease'. So you could say 'kwels' means 'teaser'.
I replaced the 'e' with a '3' because I think it looks kewls

This was a good idea...I loved reading all the stories of everyone's screen names!
When I picked my screename, I thought of "heart and soul" - I am a christian, and I want to live my life with my heart and soul.
I'm also an artist - loved drawing ever since I was able to hold something to write with. I feel my ability to draw is a gift from God, so that's how I ended up with ArtnSoul.

Martina McBride, Wild Angels.. theme song maybe? or thats what i feel is watching out for me
Wild Angels Lyrics Martina McBride
(Gary Harrison/Harry Stinson)
Bewteen the perfect world and the bottom line Keeping love alive in these troubled times It's a mircle in itself And we know too well what that's about Still we made it through, only God knows how We must've had a little help (Must've been)
Chorus: Wild Angels, Wild Angels Watching over you and me Wild Angels, Wild Angels Baby what could it be
Well it must've been hard, it must've been tough Keeping up with crazy fools like us 'Cause it's so easy to fall apart And we still break each other's heart sometimes Spent some nights on the jagged side Somehow we wake up in each other's arms (Must've been)
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: There are some nights I watch you while you dream I swear I hear the sound of beating wings

Mine is a name of a character in a book I read, "Ampris". When I chose it several years ago, someone already had it so I added the "My" to it. Then, just recently, I changed my email address to yahoo and somehow I screwed up the sign up form so it wouldn't accept "myampris", so I added the "20" to it. So, there you have it.

My name is attached to my own, personal "15 minutes of fame story"(You know, Andy Warhol once said we would all have 15 min.'s of fame in our lives)
I worked for 23 yrs in NYC in the fashion and beauty industry
Anything from an assistant all the way to Vice President in that time frame
Started out as a educator to hairdressers(haircoloring techinques) all the way to researcher in dye-loads after finishing my Ph.D
Along the way--I did hair for designers in top fashion shows
You know--the ones you see in Vogue and such?
Well, way back when--there was a certain well known supermodel who had a REALLY BAD ATTIUDE---and I totally did not care what the H*LL* she thought of me, I told her to park it baby, and get your freakin hair done for this show--I needed to get back to the states and work the next day
Well, she called me a *D*MM Yankee*, which I thought was pretty funny coming out of a Dane ( my co-workers called me D*MM Yankee for years after this!!!)
And I always wear black
So, years later--when I moved to Texas, my old co-workers in NYC---gave me the IM(instant messager) name of *Yankee in Black*

well, mine is nothing special, probably obvious. Red because I'm a redhead and 16 because it's my lucky number.

OK, so,
I have a cat, Minou. She's very small, and very beautiful.
When she was a kitten, no bigger than the palm of my hand, she was in the front room when I was vacuuming. She refused to be intimidated and would not move out of the way. When I nudged her with the vacuum cleaner, she swatted it, sat for a minute, then decided to inspect the food bowl in the other room.
And once upon a time, when I got a new German Shepherd puppy, the Nounster snuck up on him constantly for two weeks. She'd do a surprise attack, he'd bark at her or go after her, and then he'd get in trouble with me or my husband. After 2 weeks, he learned to sit quietly and not bother her. After she had him trained, she never bothered him again, and would even groom him and snuggle him.
So you see, I just can't let myself get weak kneed and pitiful with her around.

I am usually an optomistic person - and I have always believed that if you put on a smile - eventually you'll believe it. The word itself also makes me smile - and gives me hope.
That said, the day I registered, I couldn't stop crying and actually it was somewhat of a sarcastic choice. Somedays, especially when feeling crummy, I can laugh at my attempt at humor. It is fun reading these responses - thanks for bringing it to the top!

Peach is for my big, fat, old, orange tabby cat. If she was a person she would be a bossy, crabby old lady stomping around in her housecoat and slippers grumping at everyone.
She is 14 and my vet (who also happens to be my boss) is convinced that she is going to live to be 25. She has the bloodwork of a 3 year old cat and she manages to draw blood (usually mine) every time I have to bring her to the office. Oh dear bartonella!
The 'SC' stands for the show name of one of my horses, 'Southern Charm'. We call him 'Southie' around the barn and he is a big ol' goofball.

My nickname came (kinda) from the movie "A Time to Kill". There is a part in the movie where he whispers "dream some good dreams babygirl" and I don't know if it was the way he said it or his accent, but it gave me goose bumps. I made the mistake of telling the lead singer of the band that I jammed with occasionally about it. Wouldn't you know it... all the guys would whisper the line in my ears to give me the chills! Much to my surprise... the first time I was to sit in with them in public (playing drums) the poster they put up announcing it said "Featuring .... BABYGIRL" well... I was a well known bartender in that area and the name just stuck. Yes... it still gives me shivers! By the way... some of you have e mailed me have e mailed to the name TAMAPLYR... which is also a drum related nickname.. TAMA are the drums I love (loved) to play. Not too many of us chick drummers so I have to get better soon to keep the tradition going!

I haven't lived in the same town for more than a few years since the age of 12, and I lived in most places for 2 years or less. I went to 2 different junior high schools and 4 different high schools in 3 different states (Mississippi, New York and California) and it seems like I haven't been able to sit still ever since. Most of those towns I did not want to leave, but had to for one reason or another (family, job, school, etc. and no, no tar and feathers were involved). The ironic part is that I would very much like to stay in one place.
I've used the name rambleguy in other forums on occasion, so if you see that name, it might be me rambling through cyberspace.
By the way, I just moved back up to Chico, CA last November. 7 months in one place and counting! I'm practically covered in moss.
