 I used to be ondreak.  Not very original...my first name and initial of my last name.  When I started divorce proceedings I wanted to get rid of the "k" because I will be changing my name back.  But then I decided to be creative.  Since I am an equal opportunity crafter (I don't just scrap) I decided "crafty" had to be in there and since I have like ZERO time to do any of my crafts, "fool" felt like a good fit!  LOL. :-D

Me too!!! Ilove camping, grew up way back in the 60's tent camping with my family. My ds, who has CP, does not talk, needs total care and has to sit in a wheelchair started making sounds and laughing when I drove through a campground a few months ago. We hardly EVER get to go nowadays, but by golly he remembered from several years ago! So, if we can get him well enough, off oxygen...I'll have to take him out somehow for his bday in May and have a Big family campout. Hope you do plan to get out more this year!

 For those who missed my post on another thread, my Daddy picked out mine setting me up an AOL account on his pc to teach me how to use the computer. It has stuck with me because I have trouble getting a screen name on different places that aren't taken and I do not have the knack of coming up with original things like that. So, I just kept it...deb  (Deb) a (middle initial) mas (first part of last name).

 I played the Wicked Witch of the West in a summer stock production of The Wizard of Oz in 2000.  It was my favorite role ever and she has been with me ever since.  I collect ANYTHING Wicked Witch and have some quite interesting things!  My favorite is a Wicked Witch cow (like the NYC cows only small) my DD bought me on a band trip one summer.

 Mine isn't very sneaky either.  Most often I go by Jspice on all other online things, but I wanted my friends and family to find me easier on ACOT so it is janello, just an "o" added to my real name Janell.   In college I had a roomie that called me jello-janello.

 I have enjoyed reading all your 'screen name' stories.    Very clever and creative ideas!

Mine has been my nickname for the past '30 something' years.    When I graduated from college (in early 70's) and got my very first paying job; I was very fortunate to work in an office of about 10 men (I was the only female).    These guys were like my fathers, brothers and friends.   Great bunch.   Anyways ... they gave me a nickname of 'Jiffy' cuz I was always able to complete any work project in a hurry.  And also ... my initials were JIF, so the nickname of Jiffy was appropriate in that sense!     It has stuck ever since and hubbie lovingly refers to me as 'Jiffy' too!       xoxx

My daughter's name is Makenna and we call her Kenna for short and that evolved into Kennabeans. Hence the name.

 When I first got my email after we got married and set one up, I was ImMom2AnR (I'm Mom to Amber & Rascal-- our puppy)... Now that I have 2 little ones and 3 dogs, I had to change it up so my 2nd one isn't left out. So now I'm I'm Mom to Amber & Chloe. Simple as that.

 I shop a lot with my mom.  Sometimes the wheelchair access is not close to where we park.  My mom calls me wheeliegirl because sometimes I would just pop a wheelie onto the sidewalk.

 My name came about because like my mother before me dogs follow me everywhere.  People tell me their dog hates strangers then they climb into my lap.  Injured dogs find me and show me where they are hurt.  I became active in my thrities in a breed going extinct from Peru and they have become my life's passion.  Not a cute story but a true one.

 So awesome to hear how you guys came up with yours!!!

Mines pretty simple. I've always wanting to work with dolphins and have a connection with them. One time at Sea World, a guy said "You have to have a dolphins soul, the way you interact together, maybe they should call you the Dolphin Whisperer." I was so touched by him saying that and it really meant a lot for someone to really notice the relationship I have with them. So I thought it would make a cool screen name for  me. I didn't like the whisperer part, due to the tv series and all of other things.. but I loved the soul part and it really fits me I think.

Everywhere else I am carmel31385 a name from highschool. A kid figured out the first 2 lettters of my first name and the last 3 of my last name, make the word Carmel. So then I just added my birthdate. I used to also be just sweetcarmel. But then people thought I was a hooker on AOL chat, so I changed my name Real Fast!!
