My hubby gave me the nick many years ago.
While folding towels late in the evening, my husband ask me how I felt & I said “tired”. Hubby says jokingly, “what could you be tired from?” (mind you I had 3 babies in diapers at the time) I had a towel in my hand & said “I’m tired of laundry!” The name stuck.

Hi, TehthAmendmentChampion:

Yes you have.

I’ve been posting haikus at ICHC for several months now.
They help me to unwind.

Hi, Motley!

Your MotleyGirl is a beauty!

Jack.

In college I introduced a guy to a cute girl by his nickname
“Big’un”. He wasn’t pleased and replied well you’re just a little one.

That was morphed into The Little One then shortened into TL1.

Not what I normally use as a screen name but I was with one of the college buddies when I signed up.

That pic was a taken a year and a half or so ago when my buds and I, after having played slow pitch softball together for many years, decided to try a “baseball tournament for old guys” sponsored by a group called Play at the Plate. Baseball was my game when I was younger and I hadn’t played in a LONG time. The weekend was successful, though, as we came within 1 run of winning the whole thing! I even had several hits when I figured I’d be lucky to see the ball!

When I was in Viet Nam, I used to be kennel master, the little people used to come out to the kennels to scavenge old fencing or what ever we may have thrown out. They would come in greet me, calling me dai-uy (which means captain,) although I was only a sergeant.

Nice work! I’m a professional technical writer, and also write fiction on the side (see my home page). Self ping on this one, the opening is intriguing!

It was the Army unit that had the most esprit de corps of all my assignments. I actually did my most important work at I Corps (ROK/US) Group G-2, but you see that that doesn’t make for a great nickname. My first name is Fred, which I think confused people during Fred Thompson’s campaign for the White House. My tagline is the motto of the 2nd Infantry Division.

You can feel the tension in that scene. Boy, they don’t make movies like that any more.

My moniker is what I use everywhere on the ‘net, if it’s possible. Often it has to be written in other forms because the apostrophe and spaces are often no-no’s on many sites.

I 1st chose it in some conservative site (can’t remember now). It’s basically a simple reference to MD Continentals in the AmRevWar.

It is NOT a “racist” reference to the Civil War, which I was recently broadsided with on a DOG forum, of all places, by some hypersensitive idiot who didn’t like my opinion on a dog question.
