Hi babblers,
I'm gonna be gone for a while, starting on Tuesday. But I have a question for you to ponder in my absence (and hopefully I'll get a chance to log in and check your answers, or else I'll check the archive when I get back).
I've been wondering why some of you chose the names that you use here. OK, I know some of you just used your real names, so I guess the reason would be that that is actually your name. But for the rest of you, what special meaning does the name have for you?
Pegasus appeals to me, because I like the image of wings lifting something as large and cumbersome as a horse. I mean, can you imagine anything less designed for flight? That's how I feel about dealing with depression (the big heavy horse). I guess Paxil and therapy and you all have been helping me grow my wings.

Have a great vacation. My name, I think, is obvious. I love gardening. So glad it's spring!
Take care,

My PB name is simply a variation of my real name. I felt a need for a little privacy when I first came here. I don't feel the need anymore, but I think it would be confusing to change to my real name.

I feel like I have a little black cloud that I carry above my head at all times. I hope that with medication and therapy, I can become
partlycloudy
even if it does take longer to type. Have a great vacation, pegasus!

Ilene, it's good to know you feel comfortable here now. But do maintain the privacy instinct because anyone can read these posts at anytime.
As for my name, I just saw it somewhere once and liked it, and it's short and easy!

Have a fantastic vacation, Pegasus!
The day I registered at Babble, my son had learned the new phrase "all done" when he was finished with his food. Actually, he said it more like "ah dum", but I figured I would stick with the correct pronunciation :).
