I like this question--it's something I always wonder about people!

Mine is just the mantra I decided to use when I started WLS. Part of my failures are because of my "all or nothing" habit--if I slipped up, I quit. It reminds me to forgive myself and push on.

I've had the handle AntiChick online for a really long time. It stemmed from an inside joke with Ex#2, but it reflects a lot about my personality. I was a tomboy, very sporty, and never was into makeup or hair very much. I didn't get proficient with "girl" things like cooking and cleaning and generally preferred hanging out with guys and doing "guy" activities. When I started my blog, I nabbed the domain name theantichick.com and pretty much every online group I'm in I have the handle "antichick" or "theantichick". Of course, my makeover post-op has involved alot more "girly" things like makeup, hair, and fashion... so it's starting to not be all that true for me now, but it's still a lot of my story. :)

Mine has nothing to do with preference in pies. I'm on a number of forums and to keep track of who I was where- I was different pies. Apple, Blueberry, pecan. etc.

My more frequently used username these days is 'dhrguru'. An egotistical ode to my profession. :-)

I was listening to an album as I was signing up. It included the song Grim Travellers.

Do we still call them albums or CDs if they are all digital?

good question. I do, but I'm also 54 years old. I need to ask my millennial. She knows everything. ;)

I'm 32 and I say "album." My high school students knew what I was talking about when I said it.

Forgot to add to my comment yesterday that I always think of you as "Death". That skeleton-face guy in the dark hooded robe. No offense of course, hahaha!

It's just that I read Grim Traveller and think Grim Reaper ever single time, even after all the years here.

Hi, I didn't see anyone answer your question, sooo...my two teenagers tell me that digital music is called "EP".

You know how we formerly called an album an "LP" for long-playing, now apparently, digital music is "EP" for electronic playing. Trust me, they never miss a chance to correct their mom as I stumble over the term!

Whaaaa? EP means extended play. (I.e., longer than a "single," shorter than an "album.")

All variations of my name were chosen, I spent about a half hour putting in different versions and striking out. I gave up and went reading the forums. I saw someone had a Disney avatar and thought okay well I can pick my favourite character because nothing else seems to be working and here we are....
