At the price of cholesterol fighting drugs these days, it's hardly free.Good idea, there, Cholesterolfree, I'm with you. Except for me, because if I try to change from anything by TKG (or KG for short) no one will know who I am.Hmmm. Maybe that's not such a bad idea, after all.chefann said:John, your choice of screen names made me laugh. I'm going to start calling you cholesterolfree.

raebates said:It can also get a little weird when we meet in person. I can still remember the time at NC when someone came up to me in a crowd, opened her arms to me and said, "Rae Bates? I'm Yummy4You!" Boy, did that turn people's heads.
Of course, that was the same year that I volunteered to take part in a demonstration. I was the little devil that whispers negative stuff in your ear when you try something new. People kept coming up to me and saying, "Hey, you're Satan!"
That was one weird NC.

Crystal Patton said:See mine IS my name, because I wasn't creative enough to come up with a cool 'screen' name.

kcjodih said:Hey! My Fred IS a sexysally!
pampchefsarah said:John, if you have a Facebook page, you can friend some of us, and then you'll learn our names.
I agree, though. We feel like one big family here, but the effect is a little lost when responding to wadesgirl rather than Allison (for example).
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Well, Cholesterolfree, since my real name is initials anyway, KG is fine for Cheffers. Even at conference, everyone called me KG and only people who aren't Cheffers called me JR.
OK?
babywings76 said:Okay, since this thread has been bumped, I thought I'd also add that I don't fully understand this post. How can I send a friend request if I don't know the person's name? Or are people on FB with these same screen names here?
kcjodih said:Some people have their first and last names on here. You can look them up on FB and then send a friend request. If they're last name isn't listed then PM and find out that way

Could you all please put at least your first names on your signatures so we know who to direct things too?
I would rather call you Sue or Linda or Marlene rather than esavvymom or cholestrolfree in my posts.
Thank you!!
esavvymom said:What did I do to deserve that???
esavvymom said:I just hit "quote" whenever I want to reply to someone. I am terrible with names even if you tell me to my face!
Using first names adds a personal touch to forum interactions and creates a sense of community among users. It allows for more meaningful and genuine conversations.
While using a username is acceptable, using your first name can make interactions more personal and friendly. It also helps others address you directly in conversations.
If you are not comfortable using your first name, you can use a nickname or a shortened version of your name. Alternatively, you can use a pseudonym that you are comfortable with.
No, using your first name in a forum setting is generally safe and will not compromise your privacy. However, if you are still concerned, you can use a nickname or pseudonym instead.
Using first names in forum interactions can improve communication and build a sense of community among users. It also allows for more personal and meaningful connections to be made between users.
