Your USER NAME...what does it mean?
Re: Your USER NAME...what does it mean?
It's a nod to the Bruce Springsteen song "Janey Don't You Lose Heart". No special reason, just like the song.
Re: Your USER NAME...what does it mean?
It means I'm close to a pointed end where two curves meet, such as an accumulation curve and a spending curve; or more generally, a time of transition. I suspect that with plans to go part time for awhile it won't be as clear a distinction as my avatar makes it out to be.

Hmm.... "True Fact" ? Isn't that redundant?

DW thought wdnnikl was an appropriate user name because it reflects both money and a general warning about being careful in your dealings. Since both of those topics come up on this forum, I concurred that her advice was sound, thus avoiding a wooden nickel.

Why does everything in this world need to be explained..
Well, my name is Gandhi, and for obvious reasons, you know it why.. My Father was a die-heart fan of the India leader Ghandi. I don't know why. lol

I collected coins for many years. The Morgan has so many types and like a good investor must sometimes do, it made a comeback. The 1921 was that comeback, and of course there were two designs minted in 1921, the other being Peace dollar. It even has a tie in with an Ohio senator. If anyone has an extra CC mint mark or two from the Morgan series, I would gladly accept a donation.

Not a lawyer or a cop, just a line from one of my favorite movies slightly tweaked from Kansas to Texas...
Curly Bill: Wyatt Earp, huh? I heard of you.
Ike Clanton: Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?
Wyatt Earp: I'm retired.

it just popped into my head at a moment when I was trying to think of a screen name that had no particular connection with my real world identity. It's a line from a song in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Mikado, in which a character, Ko-Ko, is making a list of people who could be eliminated and "never would be missed." It's some obscure legal term relating to court procedures in Victorian England. I'm not a lawyer, certainly not a judge. I've done a little bit of Googling and clicking and have concluded that Gilbert and Sullivan connoisseurs have no idea what, or more likely whom, Gilbert was talking about.

I'll get my posts started with this thread, as I just created my username (long time reader). Sometimes I feel like a brokenrecord. Not so popular with the family, but in light of staying the course, I hope it's appreciated here.

I am a history buff and Mursili was most likely the second king of the Hittites. I really enjoy the story of the Hittites - a great kingdom that falls and is nearly completely forgotten until the royal archives (in essence) are uncovered in the late 19th century and now we know quite a bit about them. Mursili is known for sacking Babylon and ending Hammurabi's dynasty and then dying (or was it getting killed by a relative) upon his return to Hattusa.
My avatar has a carved Hittite soldier whose shield has been replaced by a watermelon. I have a certain association with watermelons.

I worked in engineering and sent in a "bingo" card to get some information. It had a line for title, so I put Local Hero. That got me the information and on to mailing lists. I received lots of advertisements addressed to ... Local Hero.

My user name has nothing to do with finances or the clarity of my writing. It's the second line in the lyrics of a song that always makes me happy.

You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another,
Oh, when I saw her standing there"
