Changing user name

smoochy — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 03:46:19 GMT

thinking about it. When we had three tiny dogs and zero cats, my nic made sense. Now I am a two cat and one dog momma. I'm assuming that a new nic would be applied to my previous posts. I will let you know. Not trying to be sneaky or anything 🥸😅

I've never felt the need to change my user name.

Ohhh. Maybe a good idea to put fairydogmother at the bottom of your posts for a while instead of hoosierwoman.

I agree I didn't realize it was you in your haircut thread until someone said your prior name in a post.

Thanks for telling us your former name @smoochy! Now if I can just remember it - LOL!

A while back I looked up a poster I hadn't "seen" in a while. Turns out she had a new name!

Yep. Just adds to the confusion!

@smoochy - I like your new name. I thought about changing my name too. I haven't lived in San Antonio in 10 years. I signed up for the forum when I lived there. I'll just leave it for now though.

@smoochy - I'm easily confused!

If I see a familiar poster's nic disappear, I think something may have happened to them. (And I also thought fairydogmother was a clever play on fairy godmother.)

But I've got it now! You have the two beautiful cats and were also asking about dyed pearls.

No more confusion. Enjoy your new nic!

we are on the same page now. And I'm sorry if I sounded snarky. 😘 now that you mention it, I also wonder about posters when the name disappears. After many years here you feel like you know them and worry about them a bit.

Hi @smoochy

I like your new nick! And certainly seems perfect given your new circumstances!

Welcome, again, to the "new" you.

Sooner — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 21:40:58 GMT

I can't imagine why a regular contributor would want to change their nickname and be disconnected from everything they have ever posted.

And how can you expect the rest of us to remember? I can't remember if I bought carrots yesterday.
