  i loved the recent topic asking what each of our screen names means.

  great question as i have always wondered about quite a few of our screen names.

  as i was reading the responses, i looked at holey cheeses - king of the juice's avitar and thought about how i have been wondering for the past three years, what the hell that is a picture of.

  Again, thanks to everyone for your honest, touching and funny stories. It's very interesting to me the pictures that we choose to represent ourselves.

  Holy Cheeses, thanks so much for the explanation - and the laughs.

  I hope more people continue posting.

  • Wonderful World of Disney (except for when Escape from Witch Mountain was on)
  • Nancy Drew/Hardy Boy's Mysteries (except for the demonized ones!!)
  • Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Jaque Cousteau (spelling?)
  • Little House on the Prairie (again, spelling?)
  • The Waltons
  • Charlie's Angels
  • C.H.I.P.S.
  • The Facts of Life
  • The Jeffersons
  • The Bob Newhart Show
  • Mary Tyler Moore
  • The Incredible Hulk
  • That's Incredible
  • Wheel of Fortune

  On the rare occasion that we got to miss a meeting, we watched that Tuesday night line up of Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, and Mork and Mindy.

  i gave my intro and then disappeared for a month.

  just not enough time these days.. anyway .

  .. some of your names are self-explanatory, but some definitely have to be explained to be understood.. i'll start.

  Mine just describes the way I left the organization . . . very carefully. All of my family are still in, so I try to be careful to not get DF'd.

  Thanks everyone. This has been interesting. Please keep em coming!
  

  Stephanie, I think you may be right . . . but I'd still like to get a closer look at that picture . Holey Cheeses, where are you?

  Vallis!

  Chevy, are you serious? Xander, I think she's kidding too . . . only because her avitar looks like a total match to the pictures Sassy has posted of her.

  Blondie, nope, you don't need to explain yours! I think you look pretty great too.

  Brian, what a sad story! If I may ask, when did you find out you had been kidnapped?

  Pet Peeves thread...

  by Brummie in

  1. jw

  this kinda thread has probably been done before... someone phones me at work and when i say hello they say "hold on" and start talking to someone else, they dont tell me who they are and i'm hanging on hearing them chat to someone who is with them on the other end, 5 mins later they introduce themselves and tell me what they want.

  that is a pet peeve.. another, for example, go to the fridge and both tubs of butter are open and both blocks of cheese instead of finishing one off and then opening the other.

  thats just a small pet peeve but its one none the less.. miserable sod arnt i though?.

  When you've been waiting in a long line to purchase something, and the sales associates stop assisting the customers standing in line to assist someone on the telephone. In my opinion, the caller should have to wait and first dibs should be given to the customers who took the time to come to the store, wait in line and actually purchase the goods.

  People who call a meeting, and then show up 5 to 10 minutes late.

  People who schedule meetings, right over your existing appointments - completely evident on the online calendaring system.

  People who just walk through the doorway while you are holding the door open for them . . . with no "thanks", no smile, no nod, nothing. I've responded many times with a very sarcastic, "Oh, no need to thank me . . . I'm actually paid to stand here and hold the door open for you". I've received some strange looks after saying that - but it just irritates me so much!

  People who chew food with their mouth open.

  People who pick their nose, burp or fart in public.

  People who don't cover their face when they sneeze in public.
