Why did you pick your screen name?

My name is what my dh used to say to me when we finally met at the end of the day - never failed to make me smile.   He died suddenly during the night of 12/05/07.  he was my best friend for 45 years.

Thanks Deb.  I do have great kids.  My daughter and only grandchild live with me- she is a surg tech and works with my surgeon. My middle child (son) is moving back home - he works at night and wants to be there for me during the day.  My oldest (deaf/schizophrenia/bi-polar) will be part of the time. He is very sweet and tenderhearted. He is having surgery on his ankle in April.  I really do have good kids.

Hi,

My screen name is my two cats names put together and then shortened. Tigger and Winnie...Tigwin.  Yes, as in Winnie The Pooh.  I am a big fan of the bear.  Something about that bear always makes me smile.

My original screen name was CRC which was my initials now its joykeeperorg cause my mother an I have started a non profit organization called JOY KEEPER hate to sound like a commercial!

Thank you Thank you Thank you it means a lot from a fellow sis who knows what we are all going thru! Makes me feel like I made the right decision to start something like this!

We are lookin for Joy Keeper Angels its kinda like for a lack of better words big brother big sister program in a way somebody for newly dx women to talk to if they have any question somebody to vent to kinda like here!

Once we get this off the ground more we want to go global so hopefully in the coming years you could get more things to volunteer for ! Or even be a director for a chapter in your state!

Smith is my maiden name, L for Linda, M for my middle name, E for ME! I've used it for years...

Linda...AKA smithlme!

Yes, I got it three years ago. It's for my sister, who is an 18 year survivor, our other sister and I. Her and I walked in the San Diego Susan G Komen 3 day that year. I now want the T-Shirt that says, "I walked 60 miles and I STILL got Breast Cancer!"

Wow. I just read all the posts. Quite interesting.

Candie is actually my nickname. I have had it since birth and always use it, except legally.  In 1971, some of my friends and I rented a place down the shore for the summer. It was so great, always special to me...had so much fun. Hence, my name. Most here think I am in my 30's...nope. I am 55.

Great thread,Deb

Mine is both the style name of the wig I wore for much of last year and the name my mother gave to a short story character that was all too obviously me- grrrr. My husband and I use Allyson as a nickname for me- my alter ego. I like having a little privacy here since I have a lot of professional contact with people as a psychologist in my little part of the world. I wouldn't feel as free to talk about various issues that have been part of my bc experience - an episode of depression, sexual issues-if I thought my clients or other people I deal with were reading my posts and recognizing me.

winggirl,

Yes, we do ride alot.  We went to Sturgis for the rally three times, riding from Maryland to Sturgis! 

Now that we have the BMW, and it isn't as comfortable IMO, because there are no armrests, I will have to see how it goes.
