Happiness is a choice; hopefully this link works better:

My shirt is just blue and yellow circles but reminds my daughter of this drawing. A happy face among all the negative!

Cosmo is my Jack Russels name. 2112 is my favorite Rush album. It just worked out for me.

Ah, Rush. One of my favorites and yes I'm dating myself a bit. The other night I played some Nazareth when I could get my lazy ass out of my chair to get my chores done. It worked.

So I still like a bit of Heavy Metal. Don't judge. =)

Back in the day I went to a Foghat concert, the loudest B.B. and I've ever heard. Now, I'm a metal head, and Foghat is still the loudest.

Ill never grow up.

My first and middle initials are JB and a lot of my family calls me JB. So every time I need a handle, I choose a different set of JB words (jelly bean, joke book, etc.).

That makes sense. But do junipers really have berries? I haven't seen any but you're on the opposite side of the country so maybe yours do?

BTW, yours is one of my favorite user names. =)

They sure do! Juniper berries are a central ingredient in gin!

And thanks!

mmmmmmmmm gin. I'm a whiskey girl myself. But those types of beverages don't play nicely with me so I'm far from familiar with all of the different ingredients.

The junipers out here don't seem to have berries. At least mine don't. Maybe somebody from this area can correct me but my junipers never grow anything but more intrusive roots. Damn things.

You and I are on the same wavelength apparently, lol. I actually have one I normally use but opted for something more generic because I didn't want that username being Googled and all the public forum posts coming up. I'm really open about my WLS, but who wants their boss to see so much about Miralax requirements and saggy skin?!

Yup.

I actually used my full name for too long a time. Until someone connected some dots and I found myself confronted about my personal life on another online platform where a user had some nebulous connection to OH.

If it's going to happen, its going to happen to me. The nice people here showed me how to change my user name without having to start up a new account and I was very thankful.
