Amen!
Your #400 is not recognized at this time, please try again later :-)
I’m an FSU grad living in Houston.
“I keep his name at the top of most of my word docs for all my regular posts.”
Geez! Am I really that infamous/notorious? ;-)
But, but, but.....I am completely innocent of all charges and will be 100% exonerated! ROFL
Did this from my phone and it looked fine...
HilLIARy, is that you?
:)
Heh, I guess I better be nicer to you before next Tuesday :-)
knittnmom is my second FReeper name. My original - 80 square miles - was taken from the definition of Wisconsin’s capital city: “80 square miles, surrounded by reality”. But many people thought I was male, or an engineer. I am not male, but I am married to an engineer. Anyway, knitting is a hobby of mine, I’m the proud mom to two children - one of whom is also a FReeper (ellendra), and grandmother to one child. So I switched to knittnmom. (I’m a former L-dotter, where my handle was humming.bird. Chosen because I like to sing, and it was my old CB handle back in the day. Was kicked off for daring to inquire about someone who had gone missing. She had also been kicked off.) How’s that for TMI? :-)
Durn tootin’! LOL!
This has been a fun thread, PRO! Glad you did it! I’m always curious about others’ handles.
Thanks for sharing....I think :-)
36th Texans... Wow... Those guys took a hell of beating crossing the Rapido river in Italy. Tough outfit. Part of Mark Clarke’s 5th Army.
Was your old man part of that campaign, Bender?
This has been a fun read. And I see I still have a bunch more to go to get caught up!
Magnificent man, Bend. We could use a few like him, now.
I’d like to know who snagged “rocker”. I discovered that it was taken when I signed up in 2002. He has a (blank) page but no posts.
That’s why I had to alter the spelling (since I didn’t want a number suffix): rockrr.
Yup, it’s fun to see how FReepers come up with their names, always new folks coming on board.
Thanks for sharing that lovely tribute to your father!

Of course my FReeper name was not intended to imply in any way that I was that "Heart Rest" that Augustine spoke about there in that famous quote, but that that was actually my main goal in life, to find that "Heart Rest" in God, the one and only source of that true "Heart Rest".
"Thou hast made us for Thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless, until they rest in Thee." St. Augustine of Hippo
(However, on the other hand, sometimes I wish I could just hit a "reset" button, and choose my FReeper name all over again, without deceiving the Robinsons, or cluttering up their files with extra FReeper names.) :-)
