I read the forum everyday but don't have much to contribute--yet. I love all the good information given here and I hope to travel more in the coming years. But for now, I just hang around, quiet as a little mouse!

I've been a nut for France my whole life--went to school there for a bit, lived there a bit, taught French and adore French music, French food and la joie de vivre. So I added France to my name--and have actually thought of making it official--started using it on the Italian boards and just carried it over here. I love this board and am delighted by something new here each day.
Take care,
Robyn France

The first time we were stationed in the UK I fell in love with the Yorkshire area. One of my favorite places is a spot that has huge natural rock formations, called Brimham Rocks. It's a popular attraction for rock climbers, hikers, and families wanting a nice day out, usually with a picnic.
When we rotated back to the UK this time, we were fortunate in finding a nice house in a neat little village, only a few miles away from Brimham Rocks. We take our little boy out there as often as we can, and he scampers around on the smallest rocks.
Yorkshire is so beautiful. I'll really miss this place when we leave next year.

There's a great old song by the Allman Brothers called "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
Neither name is anywhere close to my own, but I wanted my screen name to have a connection with classic rock.

My screen name is nothing but my initials. Boring, boring, boring. I thought I'd have to type in my whole name everytime I said anything (and you know I always need to get my two cents in) and my whole name is a mouthful. My e-mail address is my cat's name since she was sitting right next to me when I chose it, but I thought that would have been way too goofy for a screen name. Oh well, should have gone with my first thought--my cat's a cutie.

Like others here, my screen name was the name my father gave me when I was little. If he was in a particularly affectionate mood, he'd call me Shanna and tousle my hair. Since he's died my family has taken to calling me Shanna. I'm glad of it - makes a connection. I've always called my sister "Toot" - Dad's name for her - regardless of her age. She's just now getting comfortable with it. This is an interesting thread. Aren't we humans a funny bunch?

This is going to be a long-winded explanation ...
There's a line from a scene in the movie St. Elmo's Fire where Andrew McCarthey and Emilio Esteves are doing their laundry in a self-serve laundromat that is connected to a full-service laundry, and as they are packing up their laundry to leave, they look longingly over to the other side of the establishment and say, "Someday, baby, Fluff and Fold" meaning that someday, when they are rich, they can pay somebody to launder their clothes.
My husband and I always say this quote when we see something outrageously expensive or are pining away for something really cushy, often related to travel.
I hope I get there someday!

Even after 250+ postings, I couldn't resist responding to this one.
Anyone remember the movie "Young Frankenstein"?
When I was 18, my 16 yr old brother misquoted the movie ("Abbynormal" in the movie) and gave me the nick. It has stuck and now my husband and sons use it when I'm in my "Abby" moods! I love my nickname, but my brother sure didn't expect that. For a 40 yr old who hates to act her age, it's appropriate.

"Jason" from "Jason and the Golden Fleece" which happened to be what my son was reading.
but Jason was taken, so I tried to add an "8". My finger got stuck and three "8"s came out instead of one.
Now, if only I can remember from which myth I took my password...
