Usernames

Because I do.

Mine is the name an Aunt used to call me.

When I was planning to join GN I said to my DH " they will all be domestic goddesses". He said "well they won't know you're not "! So I thought if I'm going to be a goddess then I shall be a good one. Hence Juno the Roman queen of the gods and 56 is my year of birth.

Jax is a singer I like and my son used to love Jacky Cheung, it sort of flows..

Mine is what my grandson called me when we were playing stomping our feet and being dinosaurs which like most little ones he adores. He said “ you be Grandma Dinosaur” and it’s stuck. It’s not that I’m old fashioned or anything like that ……. well I don’t think so anyway ??

My name is simply the natural colour I was its white now.

Have you got one of these, *grumppa?
DH was given one by our kind DGD ?

For a while my family referred to me (quite unjustly), as the Christmas Grump. It seemed a pity to let the Grump bit go to waste.

I looked up lots of names but none suited then looked out of the window and saw my bottlebrush (Callistemon).
My hair was very short and looked just like a bottlebrush so I picked it as a username.

Since lockdown my hair isn't short and spiky now and I should change my name to something like Wild&Woolly but I prefer Callistemon.

I joined GN after we were estranged by our youngest son which meant we lost our only GC. So, at the time I smiled less. That was more than 8 years ago and I'm happy to say now I smile more.

I thought of changing my user name but it reminds me of how far I've come.

So glad you are smiling more

sorry, I spelt your name wrong.

Thank you MeerylStreep you're very kind. Yes I do not what you mean and it was the best thing we could have done.

Mine stems from the fact that although I am in good health it may not last forever!

I’m living in Urmston in the borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester. Hiding in plain sight amongst 41,000 others in the town! If I changed my name I think I’d still be recognisable owing to my lifestyle so no point really!

I do quite like #lazygran though. It suits me.

Mine is a character in a Catherine Cookson novel.

I thought Rosycheeks sounded quite jolly and being a ginger I go red in the sun.

Leftfield are a trancy dance music band. I’m a lady and I love this band!

My favourite band. The music of my life.

Many of us remember ( with sadness) that truly awful time.
I remember when you said you were moving. I was so happy for you, if you know what I mean ?

Girls at school were a bit cruel and used to chant ‘Here comes luckylegs, lucky they don’t snap’! I did have pathetically thin legs but now at 73, they are the best they’ve ever been, although still thinnish and not shapely. At least they couldn’t and still can’t say I’m ‘logged of leg’ which I’ve heard said about people. Cruel lot round here!

I invented my username . I wanted something brief and pronounceable so that if anyone wants to quote me it is easy to type.

A ‘3 Dog Night’ was when early humans had to have three dogs at night to all keep warm together to ensure they all survived the extreme cold temperatures.

At the time I had three pointers, now down to two, who aren’t allowed in the bedroom, let alone into the bed. I have my DH for cold nights

Early career in law, later admin in coroners office, married to policeman, mother to four very good boys ?

Visiting my grandparents in Italy, I was going out visiting family and had my long, dark hair wound into a coil on my head.
Grandmother remarked, "Sei una vera fiorentina."
(You are a proper Florentine.) It was a nickname that sort of stuck.
