Discussion of the Day
My nickname is...........
Candy20-Nov-22
Do you have a nickname that you go by in your regular day-to-day life? How about a pet name from your significant other, if you have one. Sometimes they are private or personal, so if that's the case, please don't participate. Get your reward point and move on to something that suits you. Thank you ahead of time to those that are contributory.

    someone quite some time ago hung the moniker "longshot" onto me, and my friends at the time, and the few that are still here, still call me that,,,

              oh I love arrowroot biscuits. You can't buy them on the baby food aisle or any aisle anymore in my state. (US). Just seeing that name took me back to 1 yrs old and an adult, as i loved those sweet little butter cookies.

              Squirrel is cute. I wonder is she was teasing you or she really called you that nickname genuinely all the time? And you don't hear Mary Jane anymore. I happen to think it's pretty and has a wholesome, innocent connotation with it, which maybe you don't want. But for me, I'd like being known as a sweet, wholesome, innocent girl. But that's me. And to some degree, I am exactly that as far as other people think of me. But of course theres my "hyde" side. Devilish. In a good way.

              I do believe we must have been or at least identical halves of the same scotch finger biscuit! And now I'm resigned to life as a furry little woodland creature ,I do find company in another little tree dweller that happens to love a nut or 2 ..or 5 or 6 hah!!

              There's a show here that is a comedy. And the father is telling his long lost daughter whilst seeing her for the first time in ages, that she's still as plain as an arrowroot biscuit! That's why I said it to mary as she knows the show;) We used think the same!! Good for crushing up for a cheesecake base,but it is the timtam reigns supreme in Aus. A chocolatey layered delight.!

              I've just posted a cute wee vid of your sweet cousin's- in the predictable name of cute video or something like that haha. I've forgotten already. I think you left out mischievous and smart little woodland creature. Yes let us roam the forests for choc nuts and hidden lairs of rum and truffles- of the choc variety.

              Hehe my middle sis and me are a bit cray cray- the kind of people who pat trees and stop the car if we see a sweet cat or dog we must talk to. Problems of course when she is meant to be somewhere on time if there have been several cat stops on the journey haha. I played a squirrel in a french play at school a hundred years ago and had trousers with a furry tail- mon Dieu how embarrassing- ever since i have been Squirrel. She has a pet name too. Yes when young you hate being thought of as cute and innocent- esp when everyone else looks so grown up! Nowadays it would be a compliment :))

                        Oh that is so sweet. What a sweetie of your nephew being such a little guy and saying that. That creates a special bond to have something personal and between the two of you. Thank you for sharing that. I love the funny innocent things toddlers say. They have no idea how funny they are at that age.

                                            ONET game. It gives out 60-80! in a 5-6; min game and you do learn it pretty fast. It's not hard to begin with.. Also, the hangman gives great points if you can guess the word before time is up. And they really are not hard words and u get to pick the category your word is in. That helps you, the player, a lot. Have fun.

                                            Thank you Ima Me {Matthew 13 24 - 30} That is where my name originated from. - The good wheats and the weeds -- grow together until harvest and the good wheats are separated from the weeds. The weeds were bundle up and burnt

Jenny is a shortened name but Jennifer isn't my name and I would be called that by people which it used to bother me but not so much these days. I don't mind being called Jennifer. I only ever use my proper name for important things like Medicare and drivers licence that sort of thing and bank accounts too. I am certainly not a Jean but that's what it should be but each to their own. I do like Jenny much better and less formal than Jeanette.

I said I never wanted to hear that name ever again...but she called me Rocky until the day she died. Her name was 'Gloria' but I was told I called her 'Go Go'! Life goes by so fast. I'm almost 75 now, and go by 'Rochelle'.

I used to get called Shelley by my Grandma when I was younger but most people just call me by my name, which thankfully I like!
