Old Members, New Names... How Do You Address Them? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)12 months ago

Theres been a long train of users vanishing for some reason and returning with different usernames.
After bieng here so long I get to know and like some of the usernames here.
When they come back with a new name, I'm unsure whether or not to use the new name or the old name or just making up a new nickname that will fit.

What do YOU do when you meet an old friend here that has a different name?


Do you wash your eggs before you use them?

Last time I tried to wash my eggs the damn yolks broke and everything went down the drain.

"Hey you" works if you ain't sure what to call them.


myLot reputation of 76/100. MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2979)  12 months ago

I just realised which interest you put this under.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

I must have screwed up. I never list any interests and I always do general discussions. Now you've got me going.

I prefer when users use numbers after their username, like you.

Well done. Nice to see you Myk.


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2741)  12 months ago

I am confused (not unusual, I know) but, I am not even seeing an interest listed.











myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

I have zero interests listed on my profile. I always start discussions in the general category. I simply can't imagine doing something like that

Methinks Myk is yanking my leg.


Its nice to have him back too. Cheers Myk. happy


myLot reputation of 76/100. MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2979)  12 months ago

I guess the word I should have used is "category" instead of interest...I hadn't noticed you always started them under "general".

Ummm Thta was a little weird. I mean do you wash your eggs before you use them? What is the point? I don't know that I have met on old friend with the a new user name so not sure how I would feel.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

You know where eggs come from don't you?

I don't want any of that in my breakfast.

I have met several dozen members here that I know by at least a couple of usernames.
If you are here long enough, you will too.

Its nice to meet you baileycows.

3. myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)   12 months ago

I just call them by their new name, same person so not a problem lol. Hmmm no I dont wash my eggs before I use them lol.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

What if you like the old name better. I'm having trouble with one returning member and she inspired this discussion.

I know where eggs come from so I wash mine before I use them so none of the egg touches the dirty shell.

My wife said what you just thought.

Excellent to see you again Jedi.


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)  12 months ago

Yeah I liked zu's name when it was wrath when she came back that was damn cool, but zu2 is cool too. Lol yeah I know where eggs come from too, but im sure store bought eggs are clean already. Good to see you too:D Tell your cool wife hi for me since she thought the same thing:D Hehe.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

She says hi back to you Jedi.


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)  12 months ago

Yay:D Whats she think of the lot?


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

She was an original member just like me, but her health won't allow her to be on the computer very long.

Its funny though, she knows all my friends here have very strange names.

She doesn't pay much attention anymore. Good thing too. hehehe


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)  12 months ago

Ahhh damn that sucks. Hehehe yeah that probably is a good thing lol. Good thing my girlfriend didnt like the lot either lol. Yeah she doesnt know about me upgrading my computer at all lol.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Ruthie has read some of the things I've written here and gets that big eye look.

Doesn't say anything though.


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)  12 months ago

Lol well thats good.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Noshit.

If she read everything she'd prolly be a bit upset.

4. myLot reputation of 91/100. makingpots (6663)   12 months ago

I haven't run into this too much, but I try to adjust to the new name as best I can. Sometimes I think of cancelling this account and starting again. I just think it is fun to try and think of new usernames. Haven't come up with a great one yet, so makingpots I remain.

No, I crack them dirty. Should I be washing them?


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Starting over is so hard. I've done it several times and I miss smileys and copy and paste so much, I think I'll try hard to be good and keep this profile.

Eggshells are porous and contain residue from the laying process. I don't want to eat that residue. I wash my eggs.


Nice to see you makingpots.


myLot reputation of 91/100. makingpots (6663)  12 months ago

Thank you DrM, it's good to see you too.

I will NEVER look at an egg the same way again. blink

I call Spark spark now, not anything else. I call you Dr. and nothing to do with hating cheese. My other "new" old friends it just depends on what their user name is now.

And no I don't wash my eggs before I use them. It's not like I'm eating the shell.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Theres the problem cyn, I don't relate this old new username with that person and I want to make a new nickname and I was just wondering if anyone else thought that an old friends username just doesn't fit them as well as the original.


If the egg happens to run down the shell, you are eating what was left on the shell.
I wash my eggs.


Very nice to see you again cyn, I have missed you.


myLot reputation of 71/100. cynicalandoutspoken (2314)  12 months ago

I always make sure to crack my eggs precisely right as to never have egg run down the shell. But maybe I will start washing them from now on just to be extra safe.

I have no idea what to call you now but you can call me Princess Peach;)


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Well then hows my Princess Peach?

You can call me anything you want.... as long as you call me.

Goodnight Princess.

6. myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2801)   12 months ago

I must be awfully slow, but I can never tell if someone has left and came back under an assumed name.. If I did figure it out, it would take me forever to do so, and then I would never be really sure.. If they did come back under another name, I would use the new name just to be on the safe side..

You silly boy, do I wash my eggs?? heck no, I never thought of it before now, don't they come to you pre-washed??? Yuck!!! double Yuck!!! I don't eat eggs anyway, but my husband does, wait until I mention this to him, he will croak..


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

There you are. I was looking for you.
I'm having trouble with one particular member here. I met her very soon after I joined and have kept in touch even when she wasn't here. Now shes back and her username just doesn't fit the person I see her to be. So I just thought I'd ask others what they do. I'm leaning toward calling her my own made up nickname.


I was watching a show called How its made. I wash my eggs every time now.

So nice to see you Donna. I sent you a message. Did you get it?


myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2801)  12 months ago

I am not sure if I would recognize anyone just by the responses anyway, but I am a bit slow for sure..

What did they say about eggs to make you want to wash them, wait a minute, I don't think I want to know, I will just wash mine now anyway..


I did and sent you one back..


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

I never got it Donna. I was looking too.


myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2801)  12 months ago

My computer was having health problems and passed away, so I had to wait for a proper time of mourning until I could get back to the fun and hilarity of Mylot.. Or until I got it fixed and could get back on.. It is a serious situation when you can't get to the net, I had to attend meeting for the week that the puter wasn't working, you know, like AA meetings, it was horrible and so sad.. We went to the library to do some reading one day and I couldn't keep my eyes off the computers but I knew that they wouldn't let me spend the day Mylotting on one of their computers, so I just sat and gazed at it longingly.. I really don't do very well without my computer or the Internet.. Now, how the heck are you doing???


myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2801)  12 months ago

BTW, I love your avatar..


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

I am good today Donna, you smell nice if I might be so forward to tell you.

Its good to see you Donna, I never got that message.

My avatar is to tickle Bo today.


myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2801)  12 months ago

blushFresh cookies always smell good and I am one fresh cookie, if I may say so myself..

I am glad that you are good today but I bet you are good everyday, no matter what goes on.. I am serious about having my fingers crossed for you, I will keep them that way until things are not just good but great for you..

I do love the milkman, he has an aura of nostalgia surrounding him.. He also has a reputation, hope you can live up to it, wink

Take care of yourself doc, and have a great day..


myLot reputation of 55/100. Little_Stormy (1840)  12 months ago

ahhhhhhh when I was 3 yrs old... the milkman was my best friend! I loved that guy!


myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2801)  12 months ago

Stormy, do you remember the milkman?? really, u do know that makes you an official old folk~~~~~~~~~~~~~rasp thumbupwink

Thank goodness my friends let me know they have a new name otherwise I would not know. I must be a huge bore as I have the same name and avatar for three years.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

No other name or avatar would fit you. I remember when you first started here.

I hardly thing you are a huge bore. I've been friends with you at least three times here. hehehe

So nice to see you whiteheather.

8. myLot reputation of 99/100. zhuhuifen46 (2677)   12 months ago

A very interesting question. I notise others have similar puzzle. I have no answere for the question. however, i am interested where you trace the change of their user names? from the site functions or from features of their discussions?
I am just curious.

Since they have changed their user name, we might as well change accordingly.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Some people have certain styles when they write and its sometimes easy to recognize.

Other times I just get a friend request and then find out that its an old friend thats come back.
I usually just use the new name, but with this certain user that prompted this discussion, it just doesn't fit for some reason and I was just going to make up a name that fit for me.

Then I thought why just do that when i could start a discussion and ask others if they felt the same way.

Very nice to see you zhuhuifen.

9. myLot reputation of 80/100. ZephyrSun (3507)   12 months ago

I haven't been here long enough to meet "old friends" lol

I only wash eggs if I am at my mom's house since her eggs come from the chickens nests lol


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

<---- cheesehater.


I was watching "How Its Made" or a show like that and the standards at production facilities lack thoroughness.

My Aunt had a farm back in Minnesota and I got first hand experience with the washing of eggs. It never bothered me until a short time ago.

I rewash eggs all the time now. Many eggs are recycled back into the cardboard containers and the bacteria remains thus contaminating the shells of the eggs that are put in there.

So nice to see you breeze, You sure look nice today.


myLot reputation of 80/100. ZephyrSun (3507)  12 months ago

I don't remember ever seeing that name since I have joined.

Chickens are kinda gross and since I actually see them living I really know lol

It's nice to see you as well, I hope all is great with you and yours.


myLot reputation of 60/100. AngryKittyMSV (1878)  12 months ago

ZephyrSun, I am a "new" old friend! I used to be MSV1313 when you knew me. We had a lot of fun in the Politics section even though we belong to different parties, and once discussed that a new party would be neat, a combination of the two big ones, like Republicrats or Democricans. You may call me whatever you like, but I'd really like it if you called me your friend.


myLot reputation of 80/100. ZephyrSun (3507)  12 months ago

MSV I haven't seen you in so long I figured you were taking a break or dealing with all the freakin snow your area and mine has been having. It's great to see you, I send you a request.

10. myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2741)   12 months ago

I try to call the person by their new name because of the reasons for changing them.
(Does that make sense?)

And, unless the eggs are coming straight from the chicken, they've already been cleaned, so no, I don't wash them before I use them.

Is now thinking about it and wonders if I should wash them first.


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2741)  12 months ago

Just saw your comment to #10, and really am thinking I should probably wash those eggs first.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

I usually do too, but I'm having trouble with one user that I've known for over three years here. Her username just doesn't fit my opinion of her. I think I'll go ahead and use my own made up one.

I was watching a show that dealt with eggs. Yes, they are washed, but so many eggs break causing unsanitary conditions and the response of the employees is lacking.
Old and new eggs are mixed in cartons that contain bacteria and theres no real standard enforced.

I wash my eggs and remove them from the carton after I have.

It sure is nice to see you Bo.

*hops up and licks Bo*


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2741)  12 months ago

Hey, puppy!*S*

Smooches you on the nose

Do ya ever check your e-mail without being reminded?*L*


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

My bad.

I did start on that list though. Its harder than what I thought it would be.


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2741)  12 months ago

Ok, we all know what we don't want, right? Push that out of your mind and think about what your really DO want. Doesn't matter what it is, just write it down.


myLot reputation of 73/100. DrMario (1132)  12 months ago

Its harder than I thought it would be.

I write things down and then reread them and I see selfishness in some of my demands. The paper with my list is a scribbled mess.

I'll try again tomorrow Bo.

*hops up on Bos lap and licks her neck*


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2741)  12 months ago

Heehee. I like the avi.
