Who are you? How did u choose your handle?

[Nursenini]

What a fun thread!

I'm a late in life new nurse (3 years now) and Nini was one of the shortened versions of Denise (along with Niecie, Nee, etc) that I have been called. Nini is also now my "aunt name (Aunt Nini) and my grandma name (Nini instead of Nana), easy for the kids to say and I feel too young to be called grandma. I use this as a user name for several different things.

 

[MarianParoo]

Yes!!!! Too young to be called Grandma!!!

 

[YippeeSkippy]

I think "Nini" instead of Grandma or Nana is adorable! I'm a Nana myself

What type of nursing do you do? Please tell me you read GomerBlog...its hysterical!!

 

[Nursenini]

Yes!!!! Too young to be called Grandma!!!
Thanks Marian!

I'm a critical care RN in a medical ICU for a large hospital in Tulsa.
Oohhh what's GomerBlog? Guess I'll have to search... What's your area of nursing, Yippy?

When my kids got married (3 months apart), I was 43. Told them both they were not allowed to make me a g'ma until I was 45. First 2 babies came along when I was 45. Turned 50 this year and we now have 5 blessings!

It wasn't until I moved south that I knew anything about people being called something other than grandma or grandpa. I love it! Nana, Memaw, papa, papaw, Mimi....love it!

My handle has a double meaning - it comes from a verse in the Bible and, when my kids are splashing around in the pool on a lazy summer afternoon, there is no noise more joyful to hear than three little boys running about and having fun. They'll soon have a little sister to keep them in line

This is one of my favorite pictures of my now 3-1/2 year old as he launches himself into the deep end from the rock waterfall -

What a GREAT picture!
I just knew your name was a Biblical reference. I'm all about "making a joyful noise". In fact, one of the meanings of my name is Worshiper and I used to be part of the church worship team.

Congratulations on the pending arrival of your little princess!!

Names are fun! How did you choose your TFP handle?

Years ago, one of the first true smartphones was the Motorola 'Q'. It was a phone with a physical keyboard and screen and was much versatile and customizable than the Blackberry. There was a forum devoted to that phone called 'Everything Q'. So I was EQBob. When I came over here, I just kept the moniker.

My handle is not associated with what you might think. All my closest friends have called me Divin Dave for years now. About all I can divulge, is it had something to do with drinking entirely too many tequila shots (i have sworn off those for life). I can tell ya this though. I earned my nick name the hard way.

I know this one - Dave has problem staying seated in perfectly good airplanes. I mean, we all know airplane service has gotten pretty bad over the years, but seriously Dave, that's no reason to leave the plane at 15,000ft

Yes, I also remember Dave saying he like to exit the plane before they turn off the 'fasten your seat beat ' signs.

I'm not very creative either. Except when it comes to making beer. Hence the name. I have other hobbies though...not sure why I picked this one for a user name but I've had it for a while.

Not terribly creative, Z E A are the first initials of my sons' names, 3 because there are 3 of them! And I like the way it sounds! I'm also Zea3 in a lot of other places online, but I'm not as active as I used to be.

 

[Divin Dave]

There is no such thing as perfectly good airplanes!

Ale: I love your name and craft beer too. Lots of it, btw!

Zea3: That is so sweet!!! What is the Z name (If it's appropriate to ask... Z is just an unusual name starter...)!

About 20 years ago while living in Las Vegas I worked at a Frito Lay warehouse as a shift manager. At the time I was a tall lanky stick figure who was into bull riding and old time country music which didn't fit in my coworkers. At first those whom I worked with joked about my "style", however after winning a bet I gained some respect. Everybody quickly decided my name "Lee" just wasn't cool enough and needed to be changed. All agreed upon Leebo (except myself) and it stuck.

 

[MarianParoo]

Hahaha! I LOVE that story!!! I can see it, Bo!

I love good beer too. I tend to focus more on the making than the drinking though. It's a shame that beer without calories doesn't exist. I know it sounds nerdy, but I'm kind of obsessed with water, whether it be my job, turning water into beer, or having the best pool on the block (thanks to this forum).
