There necks would sun burn, thus red neck??!! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time..... Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: What's the story behind your nickname?

I loved Augustana! I was a camp counselor during the summer and part of the "tradition" was to not let the campers know your real name until the last day. So, we went by nicknames until the big surprise (hey, the kids got a kick out of trying to discover our real names before they were told). Thus, I was dubbed Augie. When I registered on this site, the names Beth, BethA, BethAnn were all taken...so Augie was resurrected. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

Last year was the Greek Islands and right now we are trying to debating where next. He wants the Bahamas and I am interested in the sailing along the coast of Italy. Eventually the goal is to go around the world, right now I would just settle for a sail around the lake for the weekend.

I don't try to stay this weight! I HATE it! I'd love to weigh 100lbs. I just can't no matter how hard I try! I have IBS D and it has a lot to do with me being thin. Just when I start to get a little heavier I get a flare up and I lose 3 lbs instantly! I do however, eat lots of junk food(cookies, brownies, candy)and luckily it doesn't affect my IBS(which is not the norm)but I swear it's the only thing that keeps any weight on me! It's all in the metabolism I think!!!!! -------------------- ~~~Lisa~~~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
