My Three Mystery Nicknames Revealed

Yeah, Koz was super tough. @gillianpearce actually was heading in the right direction with it though. Thanks for the kind words. I was hoping to come up with something people could participate on, and some of you did, so that's good. I thought @lynncoyle1 might give it a go, too, but she must be busy.

Dammit, I missed it Glen! I take one day off and I'm still playing catch-up :)

These nicknames are all a lot better than Trivia or Trivial haha I'm stickin' with Smoky from now on!

Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies for missing this fun post Smoky! :)

This is the second one, so not sure if you looped it in, too, but there's many more nicknames on the first post that people have dropped on me over the years. If you haven't already, the link is up towards the top of this post.

No worries. I take a day off (at least) each week, too, so I'm always in catch up mode when Monday starts. This week it took me all of Monday and a good chunk of Tuesday to catch up with comments and then all the posts that were in my feed. It was actually kind of fun, and it gave me something to do the entire time. Hunting for posts to comment on is probably the most time consuming with the least possible rewards, so it was awesome to have so much material available to work with.

Now, do you have any nicknames you would like to share? I've been asking people to do that, too, along with an explanation of how they got the nickname(s).

I did miss the first one, so I'll go check it out. I ended up taking today off too because my computer decided to have a meltdown! I was using it, everything was fine, I went to get a drink, came back and nothing !! It took me the better part of the day, thanks to Brian's help, to get it going again, unfortunately, I lost all kinds of files etc. Oh well, that's the way things go.

I never did get any nicknames now that I think of it. I'm not sure why that is?

Wow. Sorry to hear about the computer. @themanwithnoname, @osmosis, @simplymike, @gillianpearce and someone else whose name escapes me have all had or continue to have some kind of computer problems within the last couple of months. Connection: you're all on Steemit. Maybe I should back away slowly before something happens to mine.

That's not fun when files disappear.

The puppy didn't start playing on it, did he?

What did Brian do to get it working again?

No nicknames. Well, I think I had enough for about five people, so maybe you didn't get any because I got more than my fair share. I doesn't help when your last name is hard to pronounce and spell, while your first name is one syllable and super easy to say.

For the record, I think it was my Dad who would call me What's-his-face when he couldn't get my name out fast enough. It was kind of funny, though, since my Mom would just go through the three kids' name until she came up with the right one. Never started the list out the same way. :)

Yes, back away very slowly. I don't know what Brian did; I chose to go for a walk because he is far from enjoyable when he's working on something like that, and in a lot of discomfort today. It was best for me to return when the problem was fixed and I could dole out all of my gushy appreciation to him then ;)

haha nope, the puppy was with me!

I think all of our moms just yelled out lists of names until they got to the right kid. So funny! It is a mom thing for sure...I know because I did it too, and included the dog's name when things were really crazy!

So sorry to hear that your computer had issues. I thought that you had been on a little less than normal. I know the feeling and it's not fun at all. I'm glad it's working again, but sorry that you lost files. :(

I was so frustrated yesterday with it all, but today I'm reading in the news of a bus full of kids from a hockey team and coaches etc in a horrific accident with a transport truck. It immediately put my little problem in perspective :(

Well, your computer issues are a disruption in your life, so they're not without consequence, and I'm still sorry it happened. That's terrible to hear about the wreck. Absolutely heartbreaking. Are any of them ok?
