What fun!
Mine is simple...my name is Polly. Figured this was light hearted and easy to remember.
During my work years, (now retired), it seems the name Polly, when spoken, is difficult to understood, especially on the phone. Only because it is not a common name. Most people, no matter how clearly I spoke, interpreted it as Paulie, or, Tolly (really), or, Holly. Lol.
To keep from repeating my name over and over and to clarify quickly I would say..”Polly want a cracker”. Polly, being the operative word, of course. Immediately, without fail, everyone knew my name exactly. Not only that, they never forgot!!!
I have absolutely no idea why I chose Polly put the kettle on rather than Polly want a cracker. Go figure.
BTW..years ago, 1996, I chose a handle for AOL email and also used that as my FreeRepublic handle.....MOMSTHEONE. I rarely used this forum when I signed up back then. Must have been mid 2000 or so. I was working 55 to 60 hours a week and time was short. Lost my password and old email address, but I am really partial to that handle.
Anyone know how to research and get it back?
P.S. on CB radio in early 1970’s my handle was “gremlin”. Friend gave it to me because I am tall and “gremlins” were invisible trouble makers in airplane engines - WWII.
Wow I really took off on a long rant here didn’t I?
Contact JimRob about your old name.
When I was little, my mom used to sing that nursery rhyme song to me. Funny how you remember things like that. (Her nickname always has been “Polly”.)
