LOL Cathi ... you have NO idea ... my mother said that since my father would not help in chosing a name for me, she decided that my name was either going to be the name of the month I was born in or Theodisia (pronounced .. thee-o-dee-sha) .. the later being the worse name she could find in the baby book that she could pronounce. Even though I didn't like growing up with "April", I'm glad she chose that instead.. could you imagine??
And yes, I agree that this thread has been alot of help in getting to know some of the people better. I imagine I would have a hard time, like others, knowing who was who at a convention.

1st off...........goaway.......... way kewl screen name! 
Next................
When I first found CH.com, I used the
screen name "reg1fan" which
is in reference to reggae's #1 fan.
I love reggae music.
I changed it sometime later to
"KingOfPain", which is in reference
to the Police (the band) song.
Modified lyrics of King Of Pain:
I have stood here before feeling completely drained
With the beast turning circles, running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought that it would end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
**I do not now nor have I ever considered
myself the king of pain. I just liked
the sound of that for a screen name.**
Name's Steve.
Steve # ?
Welcome & stick around.
KingOfPain/Steve # ?

Oh, by the way (my last reply was way too short, at least for me!)
I remember an episode of the old Groucho Marx show where the contestant's name was Cellar Door. She said that she was the 8th child in the family and her mother was tired of thinking up names, so she let an older daughter do it. Cellar's sister was taking an acting class and named her Cellar Door because they were the two most graceful words in the English language.
Cellar was relieved that she wasn't a boy, because her sister planned to name her Rat Trap if she was. Supposedly Rat Trap are the two most dramatic words in the English language.
Groucho had a great time teasing her....

goaway, i completely "got" your name right away when i saw it! I didn't see anything wrong with it at all 
now, what can i add to all this name, backround thing? I dunno ???
My mom named me Melissa Kay. Her name was Carla Kay. She had been married 3 times, so I've gone by the name of Melissa Kay Waldherr, Stephens, and Warden. Now that I'm married, the last name is Filtz. It will be Filtz until I die! ;D I am a homemaker, have 2 kids, Lily, age 8 and Elijah, 3 months. I constantly have to get up off my chair in front of my puter to "do stuff" that moms do. Just ask anyone who has been in chat with me  Right now we are also putting an 1100sqft addition onto our 1059sqft home, LOL. I am a basket case! I have a dryer that squeaks so bad, it sounds like a 1000lb person is sitting directly on it's udders, and a stove with only 2 burners  These things piss me off, but I can still laugh about it, so that's a good thing.  Oh, I also get my cluster cycle for 1 month, every other year, so I am very lucky in that aspect. I just didn't wish the last one, to happen 2 weeks after I have a baby. Definately was not fun 
This is a great thread!

Well ...it was a dark and stormy nite...no...that's a differnt story.
Back in the summer of 99 I had just found CH. Com. Amidst the amazing medical info, warm fuzzies and humor ...some folks were arguin and nit pickin about how the folks that posted a lot were a "clique" and were hard on newbies....imagine that.
I posted a "tongue in cheek" diatribe about "the clique" and the pending convention....I was playing Rumplestiltskin on stage at the time so that's how I signed it. The annonimity provided me a flak jacket against those who lacked a sense of humor.
I then went back to den, DEN or Dennis O'C for years. A while back some folks got their panties in a wad about folks not using their real names....soooo....ta da...this old smart ass did not get involved in the inane argument...I just became "Rumple" again...kinda darin someone to give me shit.
Never trust a prankster.
I'm too lazy to change fer now. ...and since Georgia and I share a keyboard...I post as her sometimes too.
If it's funny ...laugh
If it's sad...cry
If you need it... take it
If ya don't...leave it.
Ya gotta be smarter'n what yer workin with

Hi Gang!
My thanks to all who have posted to this thread. It has been great to come back to the board throughout the day and catch up on you.
Now I understand about Den and Rumplestiltskin. Now I know that Chris teaches computers to kids. Now I know.....
I keep looking for the newbie that wrote the original email to me. I asked for the origin of his handle in a private email. Maybe he will post here as well. It is bound to be a good explanation.
Please, please, keep on posting as I am truly interested in hearing about ya'll. Brian_Y check in again please, and tell us more about you.
To Ramon and Zaira and the others who are having an aaaAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH day, PFDANTYAY!!!!!!
God Bless Chris (in Pennsylvania) and all the other children of the world...including, but not limited to, YOURS!
Catch ya'll tomorrow.

I like GOAWAY too.
I've been here just long enough to have been able to hang on to Charlie. There was a time when I had to call myself Charlie S.....wonder where the other one went?
Never really liked Charlie when I was a tyke but now that I'm an old fart, I like it. Anyway, my middle name is Martin and since there was 600 Charlies in my neighborhood, I was called Mart. I really hated that........Be nice.........

Mr. Goaway,
Firstly I recd your Pm responding to mine last night re youre handle. I now know two things about you:
1. Y ou have the class not to have thrown me, "the newbie" under the bus, by using my name. Which by the way is Gene.
2. that you're name means what it obviously means and is not designed to hurt anyone. This of course I knew anyway after having read youre first correspondance. Your original post back to one of my first was both kind and generous. I knew you were a good guy right away.
This was never the point.
As I explained in my post back to yours today (PM). I had left the site months ago and decided to return, sort of hat in hand, and was nervous about the response I would recv from the members who remembered me. You were one of the first to respond. What i first saw of the response was Goaway. I thought right away UHOH they don't want me at this site they want me to goaway!!
My comments to you privately re this was just to possibly add this dimension that you may not have considered.
Now tonite I stumble on this post after having written you a polite explanatory note of my appreciation for your warm first response to me and also my original response having seen the words Goaway.
I forget now, but I think I counted some 3 or 5 posters on your string,basically saying this idiot who made this comment re youre handle needs to leave the site. These people came to this serious decision about another sufferer, armed only with a quote from you, out of context.
Like all of us I enjoy this site for many reasons, including simple entertainment and dialogue w fellow sufferers. I am a stong guy. but many probably are not.
I think this site needs to really look at this throw the bum out stuff carefully. In a perfect world I would think it should be much more than a meeting place for a select few players. and that talk of kick his ass out should be way more thoughtful than this display.
Your friend Gene

Great post! I like learning about some of you that I have been reading and "conversing with".
Callico Kid is a play on the mispronunciation of my last name, Callison. Properly pronounced Call (as in with a phone) ison, but most commonly mispronounced, Cal (as in the silent President), lison. A lot of my family have given in to social pressure and started using the mispronunciation rather than trying to spell it out, but being the hard headed Irishman that I am I refuse to give in.
The "Kid" is in memory of a long time ago. ;D
Stay PF.

OK Gene, we were all having a bad day. I take the "wet noodle" back and let's just say we didn't know the whole story and let it go at that. Ok. Welcome back...
Now, we're having a blast here --- thanks to you.... tell us all your deep dark secrets.... what do you do - how did you get your handle and all the "Good stuff".
Yes, we REALLY do want to get to know you. This is fun....

Barbara,
I have no deep dark secrets, I've lived my entire life as purely as the driven snow.
My handle, very simply is my initials, I'm the III,
I am a veteran Garment industry guy (3rd generation) Grandpa had 21 Dept stores on the E coast. My business failed 3 yrs ago in Manhattan and I decided to move back to Portland Or where my 2 daughters and grandson live.
This has been my first site on the internet/ found in a desperate ch attack. I discovered the unique phenomona of communicating with only the written word and it has fascinated me.

Drk^Angel has been my online personality for about 6 years. It's based on a character in one of my poems. The character's nickname is short for "dark angel of death" (he's a vampire). I equate myself with this character because I often find myself feeling like a vampire... I don't sleep at night... Don't get along too well with sunlight... I shy away from wooden stakes... But I love garlic, so go figure...
PFDAN......................... Drk^Angel

This is a neat thread !! Good idea, Mike.
Obviously, I am from Texas. Born and raised here and have never left.
I have been an avid fisherman (or fisherperson..lol) since I was a little girl. My Dad loved to fish and hunt and since I never really learned to hunt, I fished with him every chance I got. It has become an obsession for me. My Dad is no longer here to fish with me, but those memories are very much alive.
I am retired from law enforcement, and tournament fish with cops and other public safety personnel. We have 26 agencies represented, and our bass club is named "PIGS & HAWGS." We are the largest law enforcement bass club in the State. I was the first female member of the bass club, but now I share that honor with a Parole Officer who is a female.
I have 3 great sons, 2 beautiful grandaughters, and 6 grandsons. The oldest grandson is in his 4th yr of college...my youngest grandaughter will be 3 in November.
I have been blessed with 2 great families....the first being my boys and grandchildren......the second being all of you here on this great site. Thanks to all of you!!

How old is your grandson? Mine is 22 months and wild as a march hare. Never had a grandson before and he's an experience. Ain't they grand? Guess that's why they call them GRANDsons. makes sense...... ???
I hate that you have to have CH, but we ARE supporters cause we KNOW what you're going through. Tonight (or is it morning already) I've been up dancing with the demon and not having any fun at all. Thought he had moved on, but that's what I get for thinking. This MB has been my "lifeline" since about 1998, so stick around.
But we have to have a little fun along with our pain. That's how we get through the really bad times. The better we get to know one another the more we tend to "sense" when someone needs help.
Hope you stay around and take what you need and help when you can...
Hugs BD
