I started off as SCBetrayed, since I am in SC and obviously I have been betrayed.

Changed to Eph525, short for Ephesians 5:25:

Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting.

I thought about "LaLa Land" because it's all so alien.

But that betrays my location, and I do seem to be stuck in Limbo.....

Sheesh, now do I have to go back and delete this post to maintain some degree of privacy?

Faithy told me that story once.

(giggle)

I always thought it's cos you have a great noodle, Noodle.

"Chankla" would not have been as wonderful a name as Noodle.

Ace,

Where are you?

<BUMP>In case you missed it.

Mark

MY name isn't very original.

My WH first A was in 2001 and I was still hurting.

I hope someday I will change it Stillsmiling07...or something along those lines.

Still

Yep, not a whole lota splaining for me to do.

Maybe I should change my name to "maybe2late2". Where have I been all day? I've been reading my fishing lessons in the Rec. forum.....didcha notice we have 400 views, Mark? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Actually, after I posted to your other thread where this 'name' discussion started for Lost in the World, I then lost my internet connection. When I tried to log back on, I forgot my cap lock was on, so when I accidently typed my password 3 times in CAPS, I locked myself out! Sorry! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

How I got my name......when my H and I were discussing whether or not we should expose to he OW's husband after D Day #1, I sort of wanted to call him but I didn't know how to find him and was kinda fearful for my H's safety if the OW H came after him. (OW said he weighs 400# but she lies so who knows.) MC and H both said it would be better NOT to expose, so we didn't and I inadvertantly 'blackmailed' my H saying that 'exposure would be my ace in a bucket'.

He laughed and said "you mean 'ace in the hole'"...and I said, "I feel like I have a hole in my bucket."

Also, my childhood nickname and my H's HS nickname was Ace.

(Wish I'd known about MB and the fact that exposure to OWH could have meant the end of the A....probably wouldn't have had 3 more D-days over the next 4 months, huh. After D-day #4, my H said he'd do anything to help me heal....even exposing to and apologizing to the OWs H in person.)

Mark said this thread was my idea but I was inspired by "MAZ_aka_MomAZ"....and now "jim_aka_ken313". Hope you/they check in, too.

When I accidently threadjacked "SadAndPissed's" first (and possibly only) thread on Jan. 21, I got 2x4d big time by the masses who correctly took issue with my misinterpretation of Weaver's 2004 post that said something like "exposure to OPS is your ace in the hole".

I exiled myself from lurking and posting for 2 weeks while researching "Exposure to OPS".....thanks Lousy Golfer for challenging everyone on my behalf. Ironically, LG's questions actually convinced me that we should expose immediately to OWH, which we did on Feb. 6, 07.

I decided that I had better change my screen name 'cause 1254 is my month and year of birth and I don't need anybody in the REAL WORLD to REALLY know who I am...

Mimi is an OLD NICKNAME that NO ONE calls me anymore..so I'm only MIMI HERE...

I live on one of the most beautiful ones in the world. I love it. I love the peace it brings, I love the wildness of it, I love the solitude, I love to look at the bottom and know that it is a secret hidden place. At least my name here brought me some happiness at a time when I was in pain. As the clammers on the bay say when they are asked how they are doin', now, I'm "doin' good."

Lake,

I was glad to see you bump this thread. You explained the 'lake' part but I'm guessing the 53 is for the year you might have been born....is it?

Your H's name is quite intriguing but I can't remember it except it ends with 'done' right?

My H says he will get a totally separate handle, too when he starts to post.

How are you guys doing?

Ace

Cinderella - well, x wanted someone to keep the house just the way he wanted it. I could have met every single emotional need he might ever have even considered. But, because I didn't keep the house exactly the way his mother did, it didn't matter how excellent everything else was. Sound familiar?

Then, he packed his bags and left because he wasn't happy. (Do think the stepmother and stepsisters were happy?)

At that time, I found out that I was a beautiful and worthy person. That I had lost that part of myself while trying to meet his needs.

Now, I am not anyone's servant and feel much better about being a beautiful princess in My Father's eyes - and I don't mean the earthly one who passed away years ago.

Doin' good.

Funny how a thread like this can take on a life of it's own. I actually think that screenames kind of do the same thing.

My full login name is shinethrough the darkness. That is exactly what I prayed for daily, shortly after Dday. I felt completely alone and lost in a darkness that I have never experienced before in my lifetime. I thought to my self " there is no way out of this he?? That I am now immersed in. None the less, I prayed constantly for some ray of hope, some light through the darkness I had just found myself immersed in.

I was angry at God, yelled and even cursed Him for allowing this to happen in our M. During this time I developed a habit of walking into our back yard and pacing back and forth across our yard, often times at 2 or 3 in the morning before going to work. It didn't take very long for me to begin to wear "path" across my back lawn/. My W said to me,"I think you missed a stripe in our lawn when you fertilized it. No, I didn't miss anything.

I continued to ask God to show me a light as to what I should do. I was lost and confused beyond understanding. We had been M'd for 31 years when all of this took place. One particular night, I went to my back yard and turned on the spotlights that illuminated our entire back yard. When I flipped the switch, it was as if someone had redirected the area that was illuminated. The only thing that was illuminated was the path I had worn into our lawn!

The rest of the yard was in darkness. The only thing illuminated was the path I had worn into the back lawn. This, then, became the answer to my prayers. That path was a very straight line. I don't, to this day, know how that happened. But it became very clear to me what God was trying to say to me. "Stay the path and continue to walk the straight line, I will take care of the rest!"

And He has! I simply needed to open my heart and listen to HIM.

And thus, my login name of Shinethrough the darkness, was actually a prayer that was answered. I doubt I will change it, as I fervently hope that each and every one of you, also has their very own prayer, Answered.

All Blessings,
Jerry

Mine involves a story I heard while in recovery from drinking. Years later, I grasp it's concept.

The drunk and his family hide in the basement as a tornado rips across their land. After it's passed, they emerge from the basement. The wife breaks down in tears as she surveys the debris that was their home, scattered across the landscape. The drunk exclaims, "Look Ma, the wind stopped!"

I was looking for In_Limbo_Land's story now that she's struggling with D-Day #4 and has just left for vacation.

I found this thread (originally posted by Mark) and thought I'd revive it nearly 4 months after its last entry since we have so many new posters with intriguing names.

So, if you haven't posted....how DID you come up with your screen name?

Ace

Well, not that I am TOO new... I was so SAD when I joined, and my nickname is MO.... SOOOOOOO.......

Sadmo is my name.
