We have done this before but have new folks now.       #263266 - 05/13/06 06:01 PM Edit Reply Quote nomorepooch Reged: 04/18/06 Posts: 285 I used to be poochibelly as my belly was always poochi due to my lovely IBS. I have been stable since January and also somehow "poochibelly" was disabled or something and I couldn't remember anything that I had put in as passwords etc...so "no more pooch" was born! -------------------- Have a blessed day!

When I asked her what that meant, she told me with a thick Spanish accent, "Crazy, crazy, happy, happy". And so it has stuck...even when I'm not so happy, just seeing/hearing the name cheers me up. -------------------- Flipada - IBS-C "It's a gas, gas, gas" **Lauren** Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     I love hoho's!~nt~       #263273 - 05/13/06 06:58 PM Edit Reply Quote nomorepooch Reged: 04/18/06 Posts: 285 -------------------- Have a blessed day!

"Snorkie" is an abbreviation of Snorkie Bear or Snorkelhead. I would say he's a bit odd, but I do still answer to these names, so I can't really talk.

When I was little I called myself Liddy because Lissy (for Melissa) was beyond my oral capabilities.

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!
