tesla, is that a diss of Thomas Edison? 
After all, you've told so many stories of how "brilliant" your ex is...

All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.

Tesla, yours has always been one to my favorite usernames, and I just assumed it came from Edison's idiocacy... Glad to hear it does!

Long story for a full explanation. No previous user names allowed, had to be something non pathetic or I knew I would stop logging in, had to be something I could personally relate to (genealogy), found a folklore reference to one of the norse gods having a cheating wife as well...
Now it helps to announce to everyone my godlike qualities, namely that I am arrogant, vain, petty, and vindictive.
Yes, but how (and this has been debated among a few of us ) do you PRONOUNCE aesir?
My guess is "AYE SIR". AmIRight?

I think it is pronounced the same as the cheap laptops.
I also spelled it wrong because my keyboard does not have Æ.
Your mileage may vary... in accordance with the prophecy.

Oh. I thought it was Ass-er. 
My name pretty much explains itself, I think. 
ETA: Waywardon agrees with the Acer pronunciation.

TIKY, it only gets pronounced that way when somebody calls me wise.

While registering for this site I was listening to the Beatles 'Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite.'

It always struck me as such a sad, surreal song and it fit for the mood I was in at the time.
I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you what not to do.

After reading for months, I registered a few days after our anniversary. I was looking at the 14 red roses WH had delivered on our anniversary, so picked that as my name.
A month later, I found out he had talked to her on our anniversary (and every other day since Dday 2) - and now hate the name.

I didn't want to be sad/broken, etc. for years to come, and I was pretty angry and kept thinking "who is angry yet not a victim?" and thought of riot grrrls
The spelling echoes how much I was grrrr-ing my way through life then.

I picked the name Cardinal because it was my mothers favorite bird.My mom died 2 years ago and at Christmas time I put a little cardinal on her grave. I also LOVE the color red. I was pretty messed up the night I joined this club of wonderful people. I had been in bed crying for 3 days, my eyes were swollen shut. I had a couple/few glasses of wine and spelled cardinal wrong. I spelled it cardinal. Oh well, true story.

Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.

Simple ( member #18814) posted at 7:17 PM on Monday, September 23rd, 2013
I've always felt that life can be very good and simple, that people are the one that makes it more complicated than it has to be. Hence I felt I am simple cause I feel it's really easy to understand that for every action there are consequences. Whereas if my FWH was ever to join I would've told him to use "Complicated".
Love is a choice.
True love is harder to come by than soul mates. True love requires work.
Ignorance can be cured with knowledge. There is no cure for being an idiot.
