I may have asked this before, but an update might be nice. Some of the usernames kinda explain theirselves. But what does your username mean?
I like to use mine since Dennis and I both have "d" first names. So I use Dsmith, and it can really mean either one of us.
I'll go ahead and explain Dennis'. It is a phrase between him and I. It means Love you, mean it. It been a "pet" phrase between us for a while

mines a little different, I had an Uncle who always called me Daveedka, and never knew why. After I started using it as my online name I asked about it. Evidently the Isrealis had a cannon they called Davidka (Pronounced Daveedka) which means little David. This was used in one of their wars in the 40's I think '46 My uncle called me Davidka because I was little David To him. Of course I am 6'!0" and 500 pounds so little David is a tad on the funny side these days.

There is a long "blog" version about mine that I have written out, but the short version is it is a contraction for "Simple tent camping with a nice glowing bonfire." ...... my favorite kind of camping.

having been a scoutmaster for over 16 years I really expected Tentfire to mean something else that likely involved property loss and upset parents. I do enjoy tent camping more than any other type.

Well, there was a little of that mixed in over the years.... examples: 1) as a teen, I nearly blew my dad's pickup up once building a bonfire too close to it, which really wasn't, but an unexpected storm with SUPER HIGH winds came up just as I lit the 4 1/2 foot teepee I had worked all day on. I think that was the fastest I ever saw my dad move, lol. His pick-up got so hot he could hardly grab the handle to get in to move it! No one in that campground that night has ever forgotten that bonfire I built..... I was just practicing one of the fire building techniques my dad had taught me. It worked well!
2) The "upset parents" came with the travel trailer. I got bored one evening (a rarity for me), plus I was ticked off because for some reason, I was going to have to sleep inside the trailer that night instead of outside, so while all the grown-ups from several camps were around the corner gabbing, I was having a blast, quietly catching lightening bugs and slipping them into that little sliding door in the middle of the trailer's screen door. And it was a HEAVY lightening bug night!
We all went into bed, got settled in, my mom turned the last light out... AND..... blink .. blink .. blink .. blink .. . . . .. then I hear my mom yell MY name. "What makes you think I did it?" "You're the only one in this family that would do something like that, get them out of here!" {I just know I heard my dad trying to muffle laughter in his pillow}
They weren't nearly so much fun catching the second time.

Mine comes from my former love of ouzo (licorice flavored liquor from Greece) which is best kept in the freezer. I used to be my night cap of choice then sobriety took over so now it is a reminder to me of my past.

Not sure they are good memories, but not bad ones either. at least now I know how to pronounce Froznouzo.

Ick, I never could stand the taste of licorice. Can't imagine it in an alcoholic beverage. But cinnamon sure is good. That frozen part sounds good though. But I never understood people wanting to drink ice cold alcoholic beverages to "cool off" in the summer because alcohol heats you up. Never made sense to me. I've tried an ice cold beer in the summer (even enjoyed it) but then just felt even hotter afterwards and wished I hadn't drank it

Tellyfone man pretty much explains itself. On other sites they call me Sleepwalker, which is a nickname I got in Desert Storm after going for over 3 weeks sleeping on the floor of my Satellite Communications box, with only 1 hour a day to leave site for a shower and change of clothes.
