It's just my name and the year I was born. Guess you'd say I don't have a very creative mind :-)

Hi there plant mistress,

Here I thought you were from Indiana ... but lacked some enthusiasm for admitting it ...

... that your username might otherwise have been "plantmastermind".

Mine started out sort of related to one, "helpfulguy" that I'd used on a site that, if I remember correctly, became defunct.

I thought that it'd be helpful were I to add a little joy to at least a part of internet life, so I used the name, "joyfulguy" here, that has more or less deteriorated(?) to become ...

... ole joyful ... more or less based in one of those recently-become "Reality" scenarios, I guess

really showing lack of imagination here, I'm afraid!!!

OJ, people from Indiana are very enthusiastic about admitting where they're from. Maybe I should change my user name to Patti43/IN-FL. Nah--sounds too much like a license plate!

About the time I needed to select a username, I had just purchased yet another kitchen gadget. My grandkids were trying it out and they all agreed they should start calling me 'gadgets'. Hence, my username.......

Shirley

glenda from alabama :o)

Minnie TX Minnie was the name of one of my cats

My son's dog, Phoggie, for the great Phog Allen, who coached for the Kansas Jayhawks......by the way, we are playing for the national championship Monday night....
Rock Chalk!! (unless you are a Kentucky fan)

Because Pudgey was taken..... :-)

Fogged x-ray film when I was a student. The name "foggy" stuck. j is for last name.

Because I am (sometimes).

And I used to do alot of gardening, and thought I was lucky it was successful. Gotta get back into that, now that I'm into a new home.

I grow tons of plants - started when I was 5, with sowing my first Marigold seeds. I chose plant_lady when I got my first computer in 1997, but had to settle for plant_lady2, since plant_lady and plant_lady1 were already taken.

I'm old and I garden. ;)

Maybe this will make it easier for everyone.

Rhizo is short for rhizosphere, expressing my background in tree protection and preservation.

From the "Cynics" (followers of a student of Socrates named Antisthenes) who believed virtue and integrity were important personal traits.

When my old boss was updating our job descriptions years ago, mine looked like a long laundry list; at the end was "be cheerful about the above".

As I said the last time..mine is named after one of my cats who died last year. And Minnie...I had a gorgeous black and white cat named Minnie. It was also my grandmother's name.

Looking for a name that related to roses, most I thought of were already taken.

I ended up choosing petaloid, which is a partially-formed petal, so maybe I'm not all there.

Years ago I drove a Mack truck, which we affectionately called the "PuppyDog" hauling steel on a flatbed.

One day I had to make a short trip so I took my 4yr old daughter along for the ride...

I was pulling up a 5 mile long hill, with about a 10 ton overload so I was in the right lane, lights flashing and barely making 30mph.

My daughter was sitting there watching all the cars pass us and she looked at me and says...."Daddy, today you are a LazyPup".

Later when I related the story to my wife, she painted the name on the truck, "LazyPup".

Honestly I don't want to say as you all my figure out my real name.

Just my name and first three numbers of my phone #

it's part of my email address, marry4ever.....
I wanted it to use marriedforever but it was
already taken and the marry just carries over
as a good user name.
