The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Yeah. They're making sure they're nice and funkefied by Gencon.

I'm sure the Dealer's Hall wil smell pretty Gamey.

Hey, Frukathka has a new avatar!

What made you pick the pewter-looking trumpet?

This.

I'm just waiting for the change now.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Huh.

Why Reveille? Is it something to do with your Dad? Though I do see that in your signature you have a couple of links to Reveille-this-or-that.

Perhaps I should click through...

I'm sure you know what Reveille is. I persoanlly find it to be rather calming and inspirational, though it is rather short.

My dad was a veteran of the Vietnam War, though I didn't choose it because of that.

I changed the title of threads in my sig to bring it up to date when my new username takes hold. Those are my creations.

Yup, as a vet myself I do know what reveille is. I haven't played reveille (don't play the trumpet) but I have done flag duty, particularly earlier in my Army years as a grunt. Even now, when I am near a base at 5pm and hear a canon boom out the end of the duty day, I still have to remind myself that I don't have to pull over, get out of the car, and either salute or put my hand over my heart. As a civilian, these things are totally voluntary. When you're active duty or the spouse of someone active duty, they're mandatory. At least on any base I ever lived on.

I'm still praying for you for peace, strength, and focus, by the way.

Hey hive.

I saw the request you made Fru. I find it... strange.

I might suggest holding off on the change for a bit, in case you change your mind, though it's not like it's hard to change back...

 

[CanadienneBacon]

I thought the same and then I remembered that grief is a process and it's okay to change something easy-breezy (like a screen name), particularly when the repercussions of a simple change are almost nil and aren't likely to hurt anyone (Fru included). Who knows, maybe he's been thinking of a switch for a long time now. [sorry to discuss you in the third person, Frukathka]

I know I personally have considered asking my screen name to be shortened from its present length down to CB. Or switching it to something else altogether.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Nightey nite, all.

Eh. If I had a long name, but it could be shortened for a nickname into something short, that would be fine. Like if my screen name was Dogbert Moonalicious, would be find because people could call me Dogbert or DM, both of which are shorted versions.

Although you know it's bad when people shortened DOG MOON, a two-syllable words into Dog or DM...
