Well thanks, ladies - my anonymity is totally blown (or is it

)

I actually thought about creating a thread like this, but didn't think it would get much participation.

I made my username thinking I could easily change it later. I didn't have any chickens at the time - was just dreaming of them. I thought I would start out with chicks (chix), but was given 4 hens just last October as someone my husband knew was moving and couldn't take them. They were already a year and 2 yrs old and made a good stater flock. I have often thought of changing my name because I never got chicks. I've got muscovy ducks now and a cockerel as well. Still thinking one day I might get chicks and start from the beginning, but I need an expanded set up for that. I couldn't get rid of my older girls. :love

Here is a funny story regarding the name Mimi.
I moved quite a bit and always changed schools as a child. Always making new friends was quite interesting. Well, one time these two girls I befriended kept calling me Mimi. After probably 3 months, I finally asked them why they called me Mimi. They responded, "Well, that's your name isn't it?" I was like no. They said that when I told them my name that I was so quiet they thought I said Mimi.
Thinking back on it, we must have been a pretty shy group as I never corrected them and they never clarified.

Maybe I was just tired of correcting people by then as my name is always misspelled and misstated. :lol:
