Anne RJ

When I registered I thought I would be lurking and not posting. If I'd have known I would have picked something more approperate (and less likely to have others confuse me as a female).
oh great!!!! thanks a lot! now i have to change the way i read your screen name - I always read it as Anner-J and now have to read it as Anne-RJ way to confuse me

Of course with a screen name like mine there was ZERO thought put into it and i've often thought of changing but didnt want to lose my OMNI rights

The name I chose was dumb luck.

I has lurked for awhile, and had a question. At first, I tried to sign up using my name, but it was taken. So my next choice was the_traveler, since FT is about travel - and it was accepted! I could not believe it had not been taken already!

Combination of happening to be a former Marine and my ID number from my rescue squad.

Can't really remember why.
It's proved an excellent choice, tho. Using it all over the place and not once have I been told that "this name has been taken"

That´s, where I live. And this FT handle is good, because I got a lot of PMs asking questions about Salzburg.

I joined FT the same month I lost my flight privileges, as I needed to learn how the "normal" people traveled.

From the beer. But the intentional misspelling goes back when I tried to get use this handle on AOL and it was already taken.

Mine is from the P.G. Wodehouse books featuring the young upper-crust Bertie and his clever butler Jeeves. I actually like the character of Bertie better but I prefer the name Jeeves.

I used to live between El Camino Real and Alameda de las Pulgas. When growing up, I was told that Alameda de las Pulgas meant Avenue of the Fleas. My spanish translator says its Park of the Bugs.

In the 1960s-70s, there was a car dealership that used to advertise on KCBS 740 radio, giving its address as being on "The El Camino"......
