What’s In A Name?

[Mimi13]

I was a keeper of only hens.
Kiki's girls.
Silly and the only thing I could think of when I signed up.

Sean's name is Bond. Don't let him fool you.

Diva likes ice cream...I picture and ice cream cone.

Mo...is Mo.
And perchie is Deb.
(To me)

I am bad with making my own names up for people.

Too funny. I am notorious for making up rhyming names. I do this with just about all of my animals, my sons, my grandchildren and even some of the people I used to work with. Yeah, weird I guess. But I’m a fun kind of person. And even funnier is the fact that some of the names have stuck and that’s what other people call them now.

But I still can’t believe 007 didn’t respond to my Bond Girls joke. I’m crushed.

I learned programming on cards in college, just because they made us, so we appreciated PL1. I saw a guy drop his final project on the last day of the semester. Cards went everywhere.


My name, not too tough, it was the first thing that popped in my head. BY for Back Yard and Bob is my name. Sometimes I am not as clever as I have fooled my children into believing.

And what’s funny is that is what I would say in my mind when I saw your name, “Back Yard Bob” not even knowing.

Yep, I do this with license plates too...try to make words out of a sequence of letters. Laugh, but it helps cut down on road rage. However, there’s not a whole lot of that here in Alabama. Things are a lot slower here and I love it.

Coming up with User Name took me awhile & wanted something reflecting my chicken adventure, which started when I took in a bald Black Orp chick (picked on my siblings). The lady gave it to me & when it turned out to be a cockerel called her back, I couldn't keep it. She took it and gave me 2 Black Orps that turned out to be cockerels again. She liked the way I raised them & how tame they were. So she'd hatch chicks, give them to me & I'd raise them until they were 6 - 8wks.

I learned to sex early on some breeds, hence ChickNanny13 (started in 2013). Did that for few years then decided it keep my own. She was disappointed but has been supportive and calls when she needs help.

Now that story is really neat and proved to be good experience to boot. Too bad you aren’t close to me to raise a decent cockerel for me. I’ve decided I’m a loser at that game.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

The lyrics just popped into my head while I was trying to think of a username. I tend to just pick random things for usernames.

That song pops into my head when I see your name, but I honestly thought you were most likely an herb gardener.

My kids and I used to play the license plate game. I still do it when driving down the road

While I do enjoy edible gardening I grow surprisingly few herbs, go figure. Even with parsley, I grow root parsley which is mainly eaten for the root itself (I substitute it for parsnips sometimes).

 

[Pork Pie]

I like Pork Pies and I miss them when I'm not in the UK. Somebody on a RR thread suggested that I change my username to Pork Pie, so I did

I used to hybridize streptocarpus(house) plants - one was called Drumstick for whatever on earth reason? And Diva was a name used often to describe female singers

Wow I never new that was the source for the name.... I first met you on either OZs thread or a San Diego thread.... I simply thought it had to to with chicken drumsticks
Not Cape Primrose .... which are related to African violets....
