Re: What's the story behind your username?

It's short for Capitalist Tool, the Forbes Magazine slogan. In the 1980's I wrote a letter to Malcolm Forbes asking his permission to use it as my license plate. I was completely, and utterly shocked when I received a personal letter back granting that permission. When Sr passed away, I wrote a letter to Steve Forbes expressing my condolences and noting his Dad's kindness. He also sent a personal response, and a Capitalist Tool neck tie. Still have the plate, now on its fifth vehicle since then.

It's the initial of my first name, my last name, and the month and year my husband and I tied the knot. Smiley Happy

Re: What's the story behind your username?

My name comes from an early HDTV show that aired on Discovery HD Theater.   Each show was filmed in a new location and just showed sunrises and recorded ambient sounds for that area.   It was very tranquil and beautiful.   And also a very rare treat for me.   I'm not a morning person, which also makes the name somewhat ironic.

I called a former supervisor a "backstabbing <whee!>" then decked him at work. Worth the arrest.

Did he press charges?

Burned - Nothin' wrong with a little jail time.  lol.  Everybody needs checked every now and again.  I had 'words' with a fellow worker not long ago.  Luckily for him, he stayed in his truck and didn't smart off. 

 

I'm a motorcycle roadracer, 20+ yrs, traveled pretty much coast to coast many times over in doing so.  Never did it for a living, just a competitive hobby.

 

I pound rocks for a living.  Literally.
