Why or how did you choose your screen name?
I choose mine off the top of my head yrs ago when my youngest was born-my mom pointed out that Jeremy,Alex,Matthew(my 3 sons)would put me in a JAM when they got to be teens-hence jammom(pretty much there-18,14,12)I love this place & thanx for all the prayers while I was in hosp.Deb

08-21-2008, 04:03 PM
I chose mine b/c that's what most of my friends and family call me "Jess" and "0587" is just from my birthdate! Just something simple :)

My dogs name is Angie also, but I did see somewhere (can't find it now that you are called Angela when your DH is upset? I do the same to my doggie, by the way I love the name.

Well, when my daughter was younger, she was so obsessed with the Powerpuff Girls! Her favorite character was Bubbles, and she would always declare that she had "bubble"power. My birthdate is on the 27th, hence bubblepower27.

Hey Juanita, I am with you! Mine is just my first name also. I never could find anything with my name on it growing up and now...if I can use it on a site just as is, I jump at the chance. I usually can't get it. It's usually already taken. Don't know if there are that many "karen's" that spell it Caryn or if they just use it for some other reason!:rolleyes:
Cindy
08-26-2008, 09:11 PM
I'm a third "my first name". It's usually taken, and I was quite suprised when I signed up here and got it. I have many other screen names that I can use though;)

Why or how did you choose your screen name?
My real name is Sandy. My family and friends have always called me Sandy Pandy. So I shortened the nickname to pandy and added some letters of my last name to it. Nothing special.

missinformation
08-27-2008, 09:58 PM
Mine is because I love semantics......and I have a head full of useless knowledge.....and I am a professional know it all
Missinformation was also a character on Hysteria, an old Warner Brothers cartoon. She was a blonde (everyone tells me I sound like I should be one), wore red lipstick (like I do), and was, ummmmm, quite voluptuous.... I was working in Mississippi at an advertising agency, and my friend and I went to Subway for lunch...we always ordered the kids meal....and the toy was a clip with MissInformation on it and a note pad....and Tiff told me that was a perfect name for me....(plus, that was the day we walked in the shop and missed the step and went flying!!)

katgirlone
08-29-2008, 06:39 PM
Mine is because all the stray cats in the neighborhood, workplace, grocery store, etc., KNOW that I'm a sucker for a helpless, homeless kitty....Hence I was dubbed katgirl by my friends. Imagine that! Its been so long now that I think about it I dont even remember why I added the "one" part to it! Lol.....Anyone need a spare cat? Lol.....:p

Mine has nothing to do with my name, PhyllisJean. I'm so un-original & uncreative I couldn't think of a good screen name so I "stole" the name my sister & brother-in-law use for their email, just because I like the sound of it. Their last name is Whitaker.
scentsations
09-07-2008, 04:52 PM
I chose "scentsations" because it's the name I gave the products I make.

Mine is easy, I'm 16-year-old Ryan's mom! I have three other children, but they're all in their 30's, in fact, the oldest will soon be forty! So Ryan is the only one at home. I even have a grandson who is a little older than Ryan.

CATLVR36
12-01-2008, 03:41 PM
I chose my screen name--catlvr--because it is the long form of my email address and chose it because of my love of cats (I am owned by 2 indoor and about 20 outdoor) and I was 36 when I first signed up on Start Sampling.

Sewhappy
03-31-2009, 08:24 AM
I chose mine because sewing is what I have been doing since I was 13. I first did this
for myself and my sister, then for extra income. But what made me "happy" was sewing
for my 3 beautiful daughters!
