Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, but was curious what made you think of your screen name? I know some are obvious. I chose mine because i have crohns and i'm a lass (female) not because im an old female!!!!!

Years ago, I had a calendar hanging over the computer. It had some coupon for Fram oil filters. I made up the pim part.

Mine was used for the sake of anonymity. By the time I didn't care about using my real name most people knew me as Lmills so it's there so stay I suppose.

Gumby was my nickname in college. It came from my inability to play sports (very Klutzy) and my overall goofiness. It made me remember happier times:) Now I'm a 51 year old lady...Gumby is a long lost nickname. When I joined the forum, I was missing my healthier days.

Someone here warned us to be careful so I stopped using the one with my name in it and chose heatmiser because I always liked him in that xmas show and I lived where it was really cold and hated it.

Habs is the nickname for my favorite hockey team...and no I do not live in Montreal, but have always been a fan! I didn't realize that it confused people becuase I thought no one followed hockey like we do and that everyone would think I was a guy
nanners...are you a New Englander...your pronunciation makes me think of a Maine accent!
