What's In Your Name


I was just sittin' here looking at all the different log-in names and trying to figure some of them out. Some are obvious like Nathan, Cole, Mike Finley. Others I can figure out like IHI, Romex-Racer, PipeGuy. But I just can't figure out the majority.

So I was wondering, as long as it isn't a top secret loggin name, If some of you would share what your loggin name stands for.

Mine is very simple..... The initials of my first, middle, and last name.

M _ _ _ A _ _ _ J _ _ _ _ _ _

Re: What's In Your Name


My grandmother used to say everything was "reeeeaaal purty".

One in particular.. my aunt and I were shopping for a simple set of sheets, but my grandmother made us drive all over town and waste an entire day hunting for sheets that were "real purty". (They weren't even for her, but still had to meet her approval. lol )

She passed away 3yrs ago in June... realpurty2 is just my way of hanging on to those precious memories as long as I can.

(I must admit, I'm glad this topic came up, I was always worried everyone would think I was being arrogant... I by far am NOT real purty...lol )

Re: What's In Your Name


Everybody calls me big Dave, so I named my business Big Daves Woodworks LLC. By the way the reason they call me big Dave is because i'm 6 foot 9 inches and weigh about 385 lbs. Funny thing is nobody ever picks on me.
