HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR MEMBER NAME?

[Toga]

My username is the same on 99% of forums and is my real life nic-name and was first used by one of my early aquaculture mentors. We were collecting brood stock for his fish farm and were targeting some rare perch, grunters and fresh water sawfish in the Northern Territory. For every target fish collected, I managed to collect a Jardini Saratoga. My friend shouted out Togajoe and the nic has stuck for 30 years.

[Bcharmer13]

Well when I started beekeeping over 10 years ago people were amazed that I kept bees. It reminded me of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes when Ruth stated calling Idgie a bee charmer. That and the number 13 represents coming full circle, like a wedding band :)

[Starry-eyed Beek]

Starry-eyed is what my husband says I am when I'm watching m :)y bees! Lol

[Phil]

Mom, I had no say in it.

[Tarheelbilly]

Charis is from North Carolina and graduated from UNC. Ben is from West Virginia and is a proud hillbilly. She's just country enough to have agreed for the name of our apiary.

[BlueBee]

Sounds like a good combination there Tarheelbilly.

Now how about the real mystery?  What pray tell is a "Tarheel" in the first place!

[undertherock]

WELL, we live in the colorado Rockies 30 miles one way to town, on 40 acres with are chickens.dogs kids and all the wild life you can stand. Elk, bears,mountain lions,bighorn sheep ,wild turkeys,mule deer the list goes on and on.But my husband and I always tease our kids that we live under a rock because we are so sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the real world,and they always reply "but we like it this way" yep, life is good!!!!

[twin1]

I,m an Identical Twin and was the first born.  Started bee Keeping with my Grandfather in law.  Loved it ever since.  Trying to get back into keeping bee's.  I've been more or less a "bee haver" than keeper the last few years. 

[Just5398]

My username is tried and true, "Just" because my second son was going to be named Justin and "5398" because that was my due date.  Neither of which stuck!  lol He was named Colin and he was born 3 weeks early.

[LoveMeSomeBees]

Since I really do love me some bees......LOL It  was the best I  could come up with at the moment

[SteveW316]

[skarrob]

[rclink]

Well Rclink is just a shortn'd way to write my name, the funny thing is I fly RC aircraft and everyone thinks it RC-link....  :-D

[patriotgirlie]

I love my country (the way it SHOULD be, anyways) and it makes me proud to live here...

[tinadaisy]

When I was a child, my parents gave me a Snoopy stuffed animal. I immediately named it "Snoopy Daisy", although I don't remember why.  After that my parents started calling me Tina Daisy as a term of endearment.  It always makes me smile when I think of that.

[James M. Wagner]

Dixie Books was the name of my bookstore in Alabama. Soon after going into the book business I got on the internet and dixiebooks was the natural name to use for email and my URL (www.dixiebooks.com, which no longer exists).

I really do need to change it.
