It was a Beanie Baby site during the "height" of Beanie Babies and my DD was madly in love with them. I signed on as "amazed" as I was amazed at some of the prices people were selling them for. I added ncal for Northern California when we all decided to post the area we were from as the discussion board became a "I found it" sharing site. I used to post as a Disney type name on another website, I think it was GoofyGuy (because my DH originally wanted a question asked.) One day I wanted to ask a question on LP and not be noticed by those who were familiar with me on the other website. So I just signed up as amazedncal, my long lost Beanie Baby site name. The #2 was added when I couldn't sign on to LP one day and "amazedncal" was already taken as a screen name

Then, when I got my first email account, I was 20 years old, so I became Cheezman20... ... and the world was never the same.

(My last name was SixSparkeys - see post 47.)

Or, a remark of partner Jim Fowler and monitoring his efforts from high atop my barstool at the watering hole in Bucky's Casino...(Don't ask. I don't know where that idea comes from.) Anyway, I used to be Walter Elias but that seemed a bit sacrilege.
