[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 726388, member: 32547"] Love this thread. What I consider the most important lesson in my life came from a native American here in GA. Actually, it was in AL when I met a man who explained to me some things about the beliefs of his tribe. Straightened me out about how each living thing has a place :). My experiences with native Cherokees here in GA all came back to me, and I gained a new appreciation for the importance of every decision...as stoic as that sounds. I am grateful to him and to the others who have imprinted my life. I'm crazy about native tapestry art btw... My name is so stupid only I could have thought of it. That's why I have it o/c. When I got my first PC and then got on the internet (1995), I quickly found myself setting up a hotmail account. Well, I didn't know much about the internet and how creative everyone is, so I thought I was supposed to come up with something that identified me in as short a combination of letters as possible. So it's my city (Atlanta) + my nickname (Bo). Horrible name and I hate it, but I will continue to use it because I don't want 1000 nicknames all over the internet to remember LOL. I'm not very good with name associations I guess. (y) to all of you with your creative and meaningful names. I might as well have been named by a Google bot honestly... [/QUOTE]
