I thought I’d take a stab at compiling a current Mumper name list, in alphabetical order by nickname. 🙂 I know I’m missing the nicknames for **Aspenglow** (_it’s something about a tree, but I can’t think of it!_), **Baker** , **Bob\_Blaylock** , **Ellecram** , **scudsucker** , **SCAdian** , and **Taters** …what are they? And who else am I missing?? Once this seems to be complete – and if y’all agree – I’d be happy to see about getting [The MMP FAQ](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-mmp-faq/599358) updated. Here’s the list so far (my use of capitalization is inconsistent; also, while we do have nicknames for some SOs and other recurring characters I’ve only included Mumpers):

- 52 - liirogue
- BBBoo _or_ Boo - BippityBoppityBoo
- boofae - scareyfaerie
- catglove - Kitten\_Mitten
- cookie - Chefguy
- coppertone - SuntanLotion
- dicey - Die\_Capacitrix
- doggio - Dogbutler
- dot - SurrenderDorothy
- FCM - FairyChatMom
- flyboy - Johnny\_L.A
- godbod - CorpusNeptune
- hippie - LH75
- JtC _or_ Jane the Cane - JaneDoe42
- knots - AskNott
- lily - susan
- metal mouse - The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat
- nellie - nelliebly
- nettie - Seanette
- oopsie - misnomer
- pilot - LSLGuy
- piper - Northern\_Piper
- realfish - TruePisces
- red - missred
- rocky - rocking\_chair
- sari - Sahirrnee

Thanks to all who expressed condolences about my BFFs’ cat. 💙 The vet showed up 90+ minutes later than planned – a bit cruel to extend the wait, but I don’t know the reason – and a little while later WifeBFF sent me an “RIP Duke” text. I cried a few times yesterday, and gave Bailey some extra hugs. I sent them each “I’m so sorry; I love you” messages, and asked WifeBFF to let me know if I can bring some food over today. I’m not expecting to see them, though. Maybe next weekend.

In other news, my taxes are done! Woo hoo! I have very simple taxes – just two W2s and a 1099-INT, with no dependents/deductions/credits/itemization/etc. – so I filed both fed and state for free via H&R Block, and they’ve already been accepted. I owe \<$200 combined, and both payments will be deducted from my savings account on 04/01. No reason to pay early and lose the pennies of interest I’ll earn in February and March. (😂)

I’ve mentioned before that I’ll be attending a vocal jazz conference in June: it’s hosted by an online organization called JazzVoice, which I’ve known about for a while, and the other day I decided to go ahead and join up. They’re offering a virtual welcome/orientation this afternoon, and I’m registered. It’s my only real plan for the day, other than doing laundry.

Oh! Except that I’m expecting a small Lego set to be delivered today. 😁 It’s a mini Death Star that was offered as a “gift with purchase” (GWP) for 2023’s Star Wars Day (May 4th). It’s less than 300 pieces, and will take hardly any time to put together – I might even be able to do it at the coffee table – but it’ll be easy to display and I’ll be happy to add it to my other _Star Wars_ sets. I’ve decided that my next big set will be the TIE fighter, but I don’t like the current GWP – offered through Friday – so I’m waiting to see what the next one is (I might not like _it_, either, but I won’t keep waiting).

I hope everything sorts itself out sooner rather than later! 🤞

You misspelled “Ooooooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain,” which I believe is the state’s full official name. 😁

Ouch!! ☹
