Interesting thread and made me think - most forum membership I've had has been about horses and I just use my stud name Kirkcarrion, or about work for which I've had a variety of job or business related ID's. On one forum I was/am OldBag which is quite apt for me or the pony I was referring to when I made it up
but I don't like that forum "atmosphere" and hardly ever post or visit it now so didn't want to recreate that ID in case it came with a similar experience
I would have been Hermit but it was taken
and in a way that was reassuring that there are people who get the life choices I've made since most don't. Couldn't think of anything else when I joined other than the name of my smallholding but at the time I wanted to move and tho I don't now it felt a bit inappropriate.
So I just used my name and I think it's the only forum where I have but it makes sense as TAS covers pretty much everything I am and have worked towards all my life. It includes the stud which is most of my past 25 years "life work" that the past day jobs all supported, but is more than that - the feeble but well intentioned gardener, apprentice crafter, enthusiastic but relatively inexperienced chicken keeper, passionate country dweller/nature lover and pathetic wannabe baking/freezing/preserving kitchen goddess aspiring to self sufficiency and income generating superwoman - yeah right! I reckon it would also cover the writer part tho there isn't a specific link, I do have another forum for that under a former business ID tho
Tho even if I did achieve almost self sufficiency and offgrid, I'd still need decent ground coffee so I am happy with my imperfect goals and the unlikelihood of getting even close now!
