BACKSTORY behind your screen name was created by homeagain
Couldn't find the thread( it was awhile back)....curious about MMT monikers and why they were selected?
Mine was minted because we LEFT Colorado for 4 years (started sojourn to Wasilla,AK and ended in
Conyers GA.) Got back in 2004 and was FOREVER convinced I was here to stay. Homeagain.

! Mine's easy! I used to do science research and will always remain a scientist at heart. Chic cuz I'm a girl who likes fashion and tries to be hip and up with the times (most of the time my kids will agree with me, but who knows how long that'll last) LOL!

Mine's not so much of a screen name as it is an expression of a deeply held political and philosophical belief - the basic helplessness of the individual in an ever-increasing population.
Ok, really now, it's the result of someone calling me names in a political thread a long time ago. I never bothered to change it back.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

Once upon a time many decades ago a young Olaf Toadwater met his future bride, they got married, and a few years later on an August afternoon Otis was born. The rest as they say, is history.

When I was in 9th grade, oh, so many, many years ago--in the early '80's--a gal in my grade and in several of my classes named Linda started calling me Computer Breath.
When several of my friends asked her why, this was her reply:
You all know the computers that spew paper out of them with facts galore on the paper? Well, when you ask Computer Breath a question, her answer resembles what a computer spews in paper, except there isn't any paper coming out of her mouth...just breath. So she's got Computer Breath.
That is what I was called or in some cases it was shortened to CB by several of the people that were part of the original conversation.
I'm still blessed or cursed, whichever you wish, with spewing facts ad nauseum...partly because my memory is such that I remember stupid bits of information.
Anyone since then that has heard of my nick name (also my CB handle) has agreed with the original assessment.
