Oh no hoping everything turns out okay@Melis I think @Moozillion is dealing with a family emergency, so those of us who are curious will have to wait for the story behind her username for at least a little while longer. Think good thoughts in her direction in the meantime.
I did as well, @wellington .I has assumed it was your last name
Somewhere early on I learned that your name is Barb, so I knew you are a woman.The name of the street I lived on back when I joined. Didn't realize that so many would think I was a male because of it.
The only funny part about that. I was a Tomboy as a kid with a very short pixie hair cut. Was mistaken for a boy a lot lol.
Once I realized the crazy people on this forum were harmless, I added my name to my post signature to help clarify.
Yep, there is Wellington boots and a bunch of other Wellington things too. LolSomewhere early on I learned that your name is Barb, so I knew you are a woman.
As for Wellington, isn't there something called Wellington boots? Silly, but I thought it had something to do with that. Can't explain how our minds work sometimes. [emoji854]

Wellington invariably originates from Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) who was a British respected soldier and politician - contemporary with Admiral Nelson - and whose most famous victories were against Napoleon's French armies.Somewhere early on I learned that your name is Barb, so I knew you are a woman.

Wow! Thank you!Wellington invariably originates from Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) who was a British respected soldier and politician - contemporary with Admiral Nelson - and whose most famous victories were against Napoleon's French armies.
The Wellington Boot is named after him and much else, including the city of Wellington in New Zealand.
He is kind of famous over here in the UK so, while I had to look up his exact dates, the rest is just absorbed through general knowledge/schoolWow! Thank you!
I've been to Europe many years ago...we actually went to Waterloo. I should have remembered that name...I'm getting old, I think. [emoji57]He is kind of famous over here in the UK so, while I had to look up his exact dates, the rest is just absorbed through general knowledge/school
I’ve been waiting patiently for you to see this tag and that’s all we get?? That it’s a secret?? LolHhmmmmm - it’s a secret!
I’m always curious of the meaning behind some of the forum members’ names. Some are obvious (Melis is simply short for Melissa), but others always make me wonder. So what’s the meaning behind your name!?
You're right. I was going to say something of the sort.I’ve been waiting patiently for you to see this tag and that’s all we get?? That it’s a secret?? Lol
