My name is actually the name of a girl in one of my favorite book series.
I'm a country girl at heart. I love animals and am not crazy for the city, I like the open air. I like western books, movies, you name it. I'm into cowboy hats, boots, and my favorite animals include horses (and bees, of course). About 2 or 3 years ago I was volunteering in my church library for a while, so I read quite a few books during that time. I read a great Christian western book series (my favorite), and liked it so much that ever since then all my usernames have been Miss Pepper, one of the main characters in the series.
Miss Pepper, you had us all fooled into thinking you were a fast talkin' city type. Hey, I'm a country boy at heart as well, but was born in the city. Well, way back when, we actually still had a little country but urban sprawling took care of that. I use to play in my grandma's woods out back, some of the most beautiful woods I've ever roamed, with black topsoil that you could grow anything in. My dad and I shoveled enough of it to make many gardens, I should know. And we would chase rabbits and squirrels, etc... Now about the only thing you can chase around here are stray cats that get in ya garbage!!! As a kid, my favorite show was H.R. Puffin Stuff, anyone remember this show, about a boy and his magic flute? Would you know I found the series on dvd at a Cracker Barrel, and snatched it up like Bud on a biscuit!!! My wife just doesn't get it, you had to be there kinda thing. Anyway, good to see you here Miss Pepper and thanks for sharing your story. ...JP |

Mine was pretty straight forward, when I mentioned to my buds that I was going to start to keep bees, although they thought it was interesting, the usual first responsse was you must be nuts, meaning of course that bees sting. And similiar responses, so when I found this site that is what I used. This is will be another line of animals I have kept. I raise white siamese fighting fish and exhibit them at shows. They don't sting or bite. |

Hey TG!
Do you still have knees?? 25 years of doing tile is a long time!
I did it for awhile too, but that was when i was young...All I wanted was a paycheck and didnt want to work that hard. I can do a job if I have to but thats very rare,,,,I fouind out that when people learned that I had done tilework they always wanted me to do a job for them!
Its like that with bees too!...Once people learn you are doing bees you'll start getting calls for swarms to be caught!
My dad went into the tile business(selling) and lasted 4 years....I suppose he did ok as when he quit he didnt owe anybody anything!
He never charged freight....He never was outpriced by any of the other distributors...All profits went back into stock. It goes to show you that good business isnt necessarily good business.
well, thats all.....
your friend,
john

:)Hi, I choose lovely embalmer because that is what I do for a living.
my husband and I have bees as a hobby, although with 10 hives it is really work.
I logged on with you so i could ask questions and maybe between everyone, we could figure out how to keep the bees from going away.
My husband just called and asked me if I had heard what the bees were doing every where but our yard. Answer: making honey!!!
we have hives that want to swarm and keep swarming until the queens are gone.
Help!!

Mine is easy. When I started back in bees after a few years of marriage (still happily so) we were trying to come up with a name to label bottles with. My wife's name is Molly Sue. So, I'm Molly Sue's Honey.

It's a bit dull. I am a baker, and use this handle when I can, where I can.

What a great topic!
When I was younger I was accused of thinking I was the queen bee- flying as fast and far as I could and seeing if any drones could catch me. It wasn't ego- I just love life! And, boy am I glad the drones in the bee kingdom are better than the ones chasing me! I married after I was 40.
I have a burning desire to become a bee keeper and am beginning to collect the tools of the trade. I'm very thankful and excited to have found this forum.
But, as far as How I chose my member name: I like to have one online name for everywhere. I had been using the initials of my given name and my last name for over five years. My husband finally told me he wasn't comfortable with our last name being "out there" and asked me to choose another name. I was agonizing over what to choose and my sister-in-law said at one job she had they took the first five letters from your last name and paired them with the initials of your given name so I chose that- DJ, short for Donna Jo, Dembi, short for Dembinski- but would change it in a heart beat for a really cool moniker if anyone has any suggestions!

Well, I'm a firefighter by trade and several years ago I met a Boston firefighter who at one point said (in a fantastic Boston accent) "so you're a Smoke Eater too huh"? My wife thought it was a hilarious nickname for some reason and it stuck and I just shortened it to SmokeEater2.
