Explain where your user name originated

merredeth

Active Member
I took the name after the business I own and started about ten years ago. The company however, was named Merredeth in honor and memory of my daughter who died when she was 11 years old.
Her name was spelled differently and it would have been difficult for people to find me in the yellow pages, so I decided to make it easier for clients to find the business.
The Vette Woman part of it all is because we are into Vettes seriously. My husband loves vettes and by default if I want to spend time with him, I go to the garage to visit him and the toys he has.
:thinking: I should change my name to Mercedes Mamma or Jag Queen, since I'm trying to talk my hubby into allowing me to get another classic car for myself and have always wanted a Jag or Mercedes. Needless to say, he has his eye on another Vette.
The Billy Squier avatar is from his "Creatures of Habit" CD. My belief is that we are all creatures of habit, creating habits through repitition - I keep posting here and reading here and it has become one of my favorite habits.

Nothing I tried seemed to work at first.
Clown is for the clownfish (my first in salt) and a bit of my personality.
52 because if you type it in on a calculator it looks like a cobras head and.......well......that just made it easy to remember.

Phixer is the nickname my freinds at work gave me years ago. They used to call me to diagnose and repair elusive gripes. I didnt mind, it was my trademark, so they started calling me fixer, I just adopted the hacker spelling of PH to be different.

Hey ya'll, Mine kinda came from the X-Men character but mainly because I actually looked up the word and it really applied to my life. I'm a person who goes by instinct, faith, and the eternal wanderer. The angel part is from my countless signin names of angelchic or jeweled angel lol...
