I'll start.... I am *Freqflyer* as in frequent flyer. I've had this screen name for many years and carried it over to this website when I first found it.
Years ago I was flying back and forth from Washington D.C. to Texas. Whenever I would tell someone new that I did a lot of flying, they would assume I was a *stewardess*.... hmmm, why not the *pilot*?.... so much for old fashioned stereotypes..... [sigh]. No, I didn't work for the airlines.
Since my parents became older, guess you could say I was grounded :(
im 13 months post dementia caregiving for my mom and looking back -- i dont see how my head didnt explode . crazy mom , jealous sibs , smart mouthed hospice nurses , conclusion jumping aps , a bed bug infestation just to make things more interesting , fear for my own future , etc .
in hindsight , just do a job you can feel good about when its over . my own life is falling back in place in small bits . just tallying the damage at this point . moving forward with life and home projects may take another year ..
Fred Flyer, yes, I have seen a couple people doing that, unless one makes the font super huge, it does look like Fred :)
its all good . im still difficult , shes still a loser ..
freqflyer, I liked your post. And I also do have an alternative username I selected back when getting a unique username for the mega-sites like AOL or Yahoo was an impossible task without putting some numbers at the end of your username, and I didn't want to do that. One day, it took about an hour of trying to find a username I liked with no success, and finally I asked myself "what is the one username no one would pick?" I typed in convictedfelon and it was available. I laughed my butt off and I still use convictedfelon or cnvctdfelon on a variety of gaming and social sites, but didn't think it would make much sense on AC. And no, I'm not a convicted felon, but I used to have a very irreverent and silly sense of humor. :-D

When the divorce lawyer said I could have me name back I said NO!
But since I have been caring for Mom, I became Boni Chak. It makes me feel like the little girl Mom treats me like. R--- S------ is gone forever. BoniChak keeps on going and going.
