When I first starting using the internet all the "Kitty Kat" handles were taken so I went to kkat...then even that I had to add numbers to it so I like the number "5" so I added two of them so I wouldn't have to keep trying to invent a new handle to everything.

Hence: kkat55

Re: How did you come up with your handle/username?

I am a supporter of Boxer rescue organizations and "owned" by three wonderful Boxer children. I have four regular kids and I always incorporate them into my passwords at work so I decided to try something different and use my furkids for my name.

We (Mum and I) had a small business called Analog Solutions, and my email address with my provider is Analog6, so I just use it for everything online. Saves me having to remember lots of log ins!

CUZ I DRIVE AN AUDI TT!!!

All this time I was actually thinking that you may drive a Toyota Truck...(my DH loves them so that was the first thing that came to my mind).

BTW, he's sitting next to me when I pulled up your picture of your car he said, "Sweeeeet!" I think he likes it!!

Re: How did you come up with your handle/username?

[Richt]

Re: How did you come up with your handle/username?

Well, my real nickname is "Butterbean", but when I decided to go low carb I decided that since butterbeans are pretty high in carbs I better change my name. Since I have no children and my little doggie Gizmo is like my child I became "MotherOfGizmo"

In a way I am exactly the same as Karen. My nickname on other boards is "biscuit", becasue Richt is a brand of biscuits in the uk.

Much like MOG / Karen / Butterbean, I felt it would be a little insensitive to join a low carb site with a nickname that is high in carbs.
