but anything orange and spicy that can be fried at least twice has to be good.

I'm a mother, and my last name starts with F. It actually starts with Fer. And I sat there for several minutes debating it. Part of me really REALLY wanted to put MotherFer or Motherf-er. But I thought that I might want to make some serious comments, and that name might impede people's ablity to take me seriously...

But every time I pop in here, I do wonder, did I make the right choice?

Ooooo, have you tried the brand called ChocoHappy? Those are sooo great. I bought a dozen thinking I'd send one each in my girls' lunches for a week and have two left over for myself. That was a Saturday, I'd eaten all twelve myself before Monday morning rolled around. Embarassed

No, I haven't tried those, but I will! I can understand how you'd eat so many--those things are addictive!

I don't know if this has been done before but here goes;

I'm curious to know the origin of some people's forum user name. Mine is kinda obvious - it's my name "K" for "Kirkland" (my family owns the Costco brand :D (not true - that's from Kirkland WA.). Others such as Samantha, Guy C (can't spell it!) etc, are obvious too...but the rest of you?


In 8th grade Spanish, we had to choose an alternative if our name didn't have an equivalent Spanish one and I chose Adela.

I used to have an angelic looking Beagle who WAS an angel until you left her alone for more than an hour, at which point she would destroy anything she could get her paws on. Thus, bad, Beagle, bad was a frequently heard comment in my house at that time. And since I am a dog lover, I often choose dog friendly names, something that is a reflection of my personality, but that wouldn�t reflect negatively if my Priest saw it.

It looks Italian to me too. I've never known anyone from a Spanish-speaking country named Donato.
