I'm a little boring I guess
I go by RJ, it's not my actual name, but what friends call me, doesn't stand for anything (like Robert James or Richard Johnson) So I'm RJ, and I'm on my PC = RJsPC

My last name was a default, but I didn't pick my first name, either.

Well I stole this name from my father. His hair was red up until his death at 89. My beard has gone white but the hair is hanging in there.
I served in US Air Force Medical corp for 24 years, retired, got boarded went back to school to get a MA in Information Technology. Never have used it though, been taking care of the wife for past couple years. In 04 she had a major illness that put her in and out of the hospital for a year. Afterwards she tried to work but finely gave up this year and received a medical retirement. Received yeah, we had to fight like hell to get it. So here I sit most nights surfing the web, building computers and tweaking them just to stay sane. I don't know all the answers nor where to find them but will gladly help if possible. Later OR |

Hi everyone,
My name is a combo of my wife's and my initials with wolf being an old callsign I used in a long forgotten video game. I had many hours playing that old game and I decided to keep the name. Seems to work well. It is great to meet you all and I expect to hang out with you guys quite a bit. Great to meet you all. |

It's my nickname, given to my by my bf in 1986 - blinky is often taken, so I sometimes add my b.d. which is 114. Some say I got the nickname cuz I was nodding off too often, others say its because of batting my eyelashes "that way"

I have owned several Toyota 4 Runners, and so that seemed to me a good handle, to add to my last name so mac4rnr was born. :-)

Well my screen name is Mariana which is my real name... Since I subscriped to BC like 2 years ago I don't quite remember why I didn't use either Nightfall or Nighty, which is the one I always use, and was given to me by a friend because of my crazy sleeping schedule to use for an Online game, after that I've just used that same name always in basically every game..
I think it was late at night when I got my account and probably wasn't available any more and I dont like to use like Nightfall_44 or any other number so I just decided to use my own name and X well.. I don't remember lolol Anyways that's about it-- boring huh? XD |
