See how easy it is to screw up someone’s name? Sorry. (sorta)  
😛  
Well, all I know is that he wiped the dirt from his hands a he walked from the grave and that noone was saved.

I thought it started as Ah…look at all the lonely people. But “I” adds a depth to the message–you precocious lil stubmound (small thornhill, you see) you!

Being single, I don’t do this, but I do use **\_mcl** to refer to my family (logically enough): **dad\_mcl** , **dr\_mom\_mcl** , **brother\_mcl** , **aunt\_mcl** , **mr\_aunt\_mcl** , **uncle\_mcl** , **mrs\_uncle\_mcl** , etc…

My children are the sprogs, which fits them perfectly, and the husband is “The artist formerly known as talented” or “TAFKAT”

</div>

My wife is **kaylasmom** ; her brother and sisters are **kaylasuncle** and **kaylasaunties** , respectively. Same labeling system applies to my brothers and sisters; I’ve never had occasion to mention their offspring, but if anything should come up, I will likely use **kaylascousins**. My parents are **kaylasgrandma** and **kaylasgrandpa**.

The center of this little universe, oddly enough, is always Michaela, never **kayla**.

Do you think **picuhubby** likes his name? When I do it, it’s cute when you do it it’s sexist and condecending 😃 (just so there’s no confusion, leading to a brawl, I’m 100% joking.)

I don’t have any twee nicknames for my husband or cats. So _that’s_ the big void I’ve been feeling in my life…😃

Let’s see, Jim could be featherjim. Or maybe feathubby. Or Jimmylou. Or Hubbylou. My cat is named Feather - Featherfeather? Jim’s cat is named Max - feathermax? This is harder than it looks.

Oh, by the way, I thought the title was referring to families on the Dope. I would like to have a family on the Dope. We should all adopt each other.

My husband, who I sometimes denote as the ETBE (eventual-to-be ex), is **wonderfool** and my mother, who in real life is known as a cross between Hitler and Sybil (Shitler), is called **awfool** on here. Other than those two, I don’t have anyone else to mention. My little dog is just Zen and the ex-from-hell is Ted, as in Bundy. Someday I need to have more relations to utilize the cute twee name/family concept.

I still think of my husband as **hillbilly king**. Actually, that was his name on here for a split second before y’all scared him off.

I suppose I could start calling him **Mr. Belfry** or **Mr. Bats.**

Sounds so much better than the old names: **Non-Sentient Zygote** and **Scarcely-Sentient Fetus**. 😉

I think I’ve probably missed a couple of stages, but you can help me out…

When I ever so rarely refer to them here, the better half is called **Mrs. Rhubarb** and the offspring are the **Rhubarbettes** or **Rhubarbarians** depending on mood and context. IRL, they’re usually **Honey** and **The Monsters**. (1960’s-Style-Band-Name!)
