How did you come up with your screen name?

[daddio53]

My screen name goes back to me being a single father of a son and a daughter. I had custody after a nasty  and long divorce process, but the bottom line was, I was the custodial parent I worked for the Postal Service, and my job was only a few blocks from home. The kids' school was only 2 blocks over, and they beat me home by 45 minutes to an hour. So I left them notes every day with chores, homework,or whatever on them. I signed it Dad, then Daddy,then finally Daddio after my daughter said they were both too old to be calling me daddy. They were 11 and 9 at the time! So she suggested Daddio, and that's been me ever since. I was born in '53, and since plain Daddio is taken in most places, I just added the year. 

 

[fungi]

I lived in the Virgin Islands for 50 years and love the local cooking, Fungi is a side dish based on cornmeal made like a soft dumpling. Good with anything that has some gravy. Fungi and steam fish is to die for.

[chiva]

I was the site safety coordinator for a company.  After dressing down one of the contractors for a safety violation one of my crew said I sounded like a nanny goat always worrying about what could go wrong.  One of the Spanish speakers spoke up and said "Yeah, you're a Chiva!".  The nickname Chiva stuck.

I use it with pride.  Chiva.

A long time ago I was a young Boy Scout member in Switzerland.

What a new and exciting world!

And there where also all the big guys, they where called ROVERS - this is the older generation of boy scouts in Switzerland.

One of the rovers name was PONGO, he was definitely MY hero. He was about ALL that I wanted to be, a friendly character, smart and accountable when needed - a real hero.

Actually, he was a friend of my older brother and came often to visit and spend some time with us.

Some 50 years later, I now live in the US, the real home of the boy scouts.

And... I needed a nickname for many different causes, forums and friends. Amazing that this name never disappeared from my memory.

As a matter of fact, pongo visited my brother when I called my old home about 3 weeks ago. I talk with him on the phone, telling him what positive influence he had in my life!

Amazing too - how the boy scout experience changed my whole life, in addition - we found OUR hero and tried to be like them, copy all the good things.

What do you call this? The good old time!

 

Y'ALL take care - Have a nice day - your pongo.
