My first name is Franklin middle name is James and last is Parks thus fjimp

At the point I began using the internet for business the state I was living in had some silly regulation that some folks believed required names or acronyms used publicly needed to be somehow tied to ones name. I go by Jim as I am a junior and Mom only allowed one Frank in her house. Now you know more about me than you ever desired. fjimp

Did you check out the building size cuckoo clock(s) in Farmers link??? You will find it after viewing the chopper video.

Mine is the initials of my first, middle and last name and the number 2 was because when I signed up for my email provider, rkh1 had already been taken thus rkh2. Seeing that I use that for most things I sign up for on the internet as far as other forums go, it's one less thing I need to remember. As the years go by, it's not as easy to remember as when I was in my younger days. And that's my story.

When PacBell first provided us with computers in the '80s, our user name was our initials and our last name, up to a total of 7 letters. I've been wgander ever since.

Mine is (arguably) self explanatory.

Mine was going to be 'newhobby' or the like, but those were used already...

Many years ago, while sitting at my fly tying bench, I tied up a version of a fishing fly. Taking it to the waters of Hat Creek in California, it was a great success, hence FlashbacPT (a flash back Pheasant tail fly):)

My user id is more complicated and a lot more sneaky than most.

I use Ed in Tampa but I'm really Frank in Seattle. I figured if the Commies ever land in America and go looking for Ed in Tampa they won't find me because I'm Frank living in Seattle.

Actually I live in the thriving metropolis called Lutz about 15 miles due north of the center of Tampa. By the way in this area, Lutz is pronounced Lootz not Latz.

Hi Frank! Since you live so close to me maybe we can get together! Although I wood never had pronounced Lutz as "latz", I am glad to know that it is pronounced "lootz" (or "lutz" with a hard "U"), as I wood have pronounced it "lutz" (with a soft "U").
