What does your screen name mean?

[Cuckoo Bananas]

Mine was a case where I tried to come up with something classy but the few I tried got rejected so I just picked something to get in and get started - cuckoo bananas just happened to be the first words that came to mind - probably because it was a novelty saying in my house, anything was 'cuckoo bananas' at that time. Now a few years later I wish I'd sat for 5 minutes more and thought of something better lol.

What's the story of everyone else's? Is it just a case of random words like mine or is there a meaning behind them? Do share

Mine is a no brainer really...

I am a 75 year old nurse

CB - I know what you mean about wishing you put more thought into it. Various versions of the same screen name abound on forums that I am a member of. This time I wanted something different and got as far as trying variations of my name, my star sign, and my kids names that were all rejected.
Hence my unoriginal name. I like your name. It conjures up an image of someone who is fun and lighthearted.

Mine is a variation of my first and middle name thrown together ... Ms. Sharon Lee ... I tried to come up with something catchy to give a name to my business ...

[dieSpinne]

Mine means "The Spider" in German.
In addition to all my other crafts, I am a fiber artist and do a lot of spinning.
I especially like spinning very fine laceweight yarns from my angora bunnies and knitting them into lace shawls.

 

[soapbuddy]

I teach soap; thus soapbuddy.

I have a spinning wheel, but no idea how to use it. I'm still trying to master the spindle. With very limited success.

As with soap, it takes a bit of practice.
Most spinning teachers I know recommend spending an hour a day with your spindle...no less... and surprisingly, no more... once your hour is done, put it up and do other things.

I think I am going to need to do a bunch of batches of soap to catch up to the experience gathered in this forum... but I am definitely learning a lot on this adventure.

Do you have to change your name next year?

 

[carebear]

my problem is, with spinning, that I'm rarely at ease for an hour a day. I'm always on the move - folding laundry, cooking, cleaning, or at my day job, or driving my kids somewhere. i don't even have time to wait for my daughter while she's at gymnastics or something - it's always gogogo. but I am determined to find that time.

As with all women of a certain age... I will no longer count my age up in years with birthdays, but will start to go backwards... I am looking forward to being 21 again, and again

just for a bit of humour... my 15mth old just picked up a dead fly from the carpet and chewed it... he obviously didnt like the taste and handed it to me... mostly masticated but recognisable... oh the joys

"here mom... I didn't like it, you try it"

 

[nurse_75]

"here mom... I didn't like it, you try it"

Absolutely. At least he is learning how to share. In the scheme of things I would rather this than a dessicated gecko or cockroach.

[BlueValkyrie]

Mine comes from an old computer game called Gauntlet II that I used to play on my old Nintendo NES in my teens. The game spoke the character's names aloud a lot, e.g. 'Welcome Blue Valkyrie' etc. I used to choose that character because I loved the idea of a valkyrie in Norse mythology - dark female harbingers of death who chose who would die on the battlefield, and then led them to Valhalla.

I was a bit of a goth as a teenager as you can probably imagine - and maybe still am a bit

 

[Bigmoose]

Mine is a nickname I got when I was very young. The "big" is because I was the tallest one at school and I think "Moose" came about because it sounds like Bruce.
