I am a dork and I don’t want to waste time looking up the answer so… someone older and wiser than I should tell me the exact process of changing my user name for the boards. Thank you very much in advance. 🙂 ---

If you don’t like the outdoors or you like extremely cold weather/dislike warm weather, it probably doesn’t kick ass. 3. Dopefest? (Does it look like I run into all threads mentioning Arizona and say Dopefest? :dubious: ) ---

I like my suggestion to Dolores Claiborne… Nine times Nymph… you can tell me if it sucks but I may not “listen”. Unless someone comes up with a abso-freakin’-lutely _wonderful_ name I just cannot live without… ? (HINT)
