Hi all

Im not the most creative, so I appreciate help with a username.

While I am not that creative, I can help you with excel or data.

From Arkansas

Grew up on lakes and national forest

Love animalswith a special affinity to pit bulls and horses

Love to read

Cant get me out of the water since I was 2 years old

Kind of a nerd - (love excel and live by spreadsheets)

I enjoy the irony of life and human nature. I appreciate all our unique qualities

I am short. 60 to be exact (with only a 26 inch inseam) - it can make things tough

I was a tomboy growing up and still prefer getting dirty than prettied up

No kids but love all my 16 nieces and nephews so much!!

I also love camping, canoeing, fishing, dancing, and music

Could be described as part hippie

Im sorry for any typos. Im using a small phone at the moment

Let me know your thoughts!

Thank you.

I forgot to add that my name is Melinda but my much older sister insisted that my parents call me Mindy based on Mork and Mindy. I gained the nickname Menhen along the way…sometimes MenFin (even though I am still not sure why)

Hi Melinda... minfin or melfin is kinda cute for a water loving diver!!! The fin denotes the aqua part of your personality and the min is either short for Mindy or even diminutive etc.

You can of course go another direction such as ARMindy or DiverMindy or DiverMin.  Those would be my suggestions but of course would love any other ideas that other might have!

I also like MinFin.  Another take is making it plural  MinsFins

Here with my entry: MinnieFin I think compliments your rather diminutive size and echoes your childhood nickname. ;)

Another might be MiniMermaid just because I personally have a special place in my heart for mermaids :blush: Just ask Kathy. ;)

How about "MiniMel" or "MiniMelindi"?

 

Take it from someone that made the mistake.  Spaces, punctuations, and capital letters in a username help make for a cool username but they suck typing in.  Also try to change it before you buy a trip.  After you are on a trip roster it is so hard to change we generally can't do it.

 

BTW, my family is from near Pearcy... over by Stuttgart.
