My screen name is personal to me.  When my grandma died several years ago, I was having a very tough time moving on and I wasn't handling myself very well.  Someone told me, "I know what you are going through is very difficult, and it doesn't seem like it, but, this too shall pass".  I had heard it before but it didn't mean anything to me until this part in my life.  Now it is a quote that I try to adhere to in difficult times of sadness. 

Just wondering...how did you decide on your Viewpoints screen name?  Is it personal to you, funny, or did you just think it up as you were registering?

Mine is actually something I've been using for probably 11 years now.  Basically I'm the youngest and through school I've always thought of myself as "cute" so I established a user name that reflected that... it's also part of my maiden name as well.  I just never wanted to be creative enough to think of another one and it's never taken where I go.

Don't bogart that joint.

My name actually has a double meaning. We live on a road between two no-longer-in-existence towns, Dutchtown and Zion. Therefore... we are on the way to Zion!

Also, in the Bible, the Lord lives in Zion and we are often referred to as the Daughters of Zion. So, I hope I'm on the way to His Zion too!

I have used several screen names over the years and when my boys were growing up my saying was that mom was god and new everything.  However, when I became a grandma 5 years ago I came up with this one and have started using it all over.  My grandson does think that Mema is god, that's what he calls me.

my screen name "cakesbebe"  came about because i used to decorate cakes for a living. i went to school to learn how, but unfortunately i had an accident and lost 65% of the use of my right hand, and can no longer decorate cakes. and the "bebe" part is because my husband has always called me bebe, pretty boring huh? oh well i have always liked it.

I didn't choose my screen name. My offline community chose it for me. All I chose was whether to be Mama Snell or Mrs. Snell, because everyone calls me both! LOL

Jo you got lucky with sites like VP that let you have such short usernames.  It's definitely easy to remember :)

And here I thought your username had something to do with a sci-fi movie!  Thanks for sharing, totally not what I thought, but has a good meaning now that I know.

My screen name comes from a nickname a good friend gave me back in college.  I was involved in many sports and heavily into basketball, so my friends would come and cheer, go Shawn "The baller".

Mine is a carryover from another site I chat in. It's supposed to indicate a passive take on things but the fact is I Really Do Need a new grill. Then maybe I'll change it to "Wowthisfoodtastesdelicious!!"

I just use my own name. I have enough to remember without having to remember who I am (-: somewhere online.

Your screen name makes the most sense! Mama's have so much to remember, who cares about remembering one more tiny little detail!

Your daughter is a lamb and my son is a monkey :)  When he reached a certain age, he would climb onto everything and do funny things with his toes, so I started calling him monkey and it's stuck ever since!
