I'll bet y'all been waiting for me to chime in with mine...........Well, it's not what ya think! I found T-Net when I was having the worst year of my life with my knees, I was in constant pain, couldn't bend them, so I stood on a dock and fished most of the time, but, this is not a fishing forum, so I chose: Notgittinenny, not getting anything (treasure related) Hey, after 33 years of marriage, I am still trying to make a baby :laughing9:. And she's having a ball or two :laughing7:. Then one day someone P.M.'d me and said that they didn't like the connotations of what my name meant, so the following year when my knees were a lot better, I changed it to Nowgittineverything, just so I could keep "NGE" sign off. I just changed it back because I felt like it, and nobody has complained..........NGE

My fore father back down the line during the Civil War was James Madison McNatt. The Yankees burned out his fathers farm near Sardis Tennessee in 1862. James Madison McNatt and his two brothers joined the Calvary under Forrest two months later at Jackson Tennessee. They were members of the 21st Tennessee Calvary.

AngIL ? Close enough to Angel/Angela ::)

Anyway, the village I live in used to have a Kenosha, Wisconsin postal address, until it was changed over when we got our new Pleasant Prairie Post Office. "PP Kid" just didn't sound right. :tongue3:

I took the name from a few sources, besides the above reason. First, it was mentioned in a 1931 western magazine, "Western Rangers", which featured a story called The Kenosha Kid. It was also in Thomas Pynchon's novel, Gravity's Rainbow, that had something to do with a dance called "Kenosha".

Mine is Boom De Yada
Its really the name of my wonderful Show Horse
When he was born it was about the same time as the Dicovery Ch song Boom De Yada
Which I am sure you all remember. So as the story goes, the song stuck in my head and when he was born thats what I named him. :thumbsup:

Boom De Yada

I love the mountains
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world
And all its sights and sounds

Pie Grande means big foot. I have size 13's, which in Mexico is gigantic. I have introduced myself to people I knew via Internet by simply holding my foot up, and they laugh, and say, "Pie grande!!"
