A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Question about the titles under your usernames...

How do you get them??

i dont know; i was gonna ask the same question thanks for posting it

From the FAQ section, which can be found in the same line across the top where "my stuff" is located--where you go into your PM's.

What are these titles about?
Everyone has a title within the forum. You will notice the title below the Display Name in each post. Some titles are automatically assigned based on the number of posts a user has made, and some titles are assigned by the forum owner to denote official representatives of the company or other VIPs in the forums.

If you get a special title under your name then that is very special indeed....a gift from Bill---he gives special titles from time to time as they fit with a person.

Big Trouble <---

I don't know WHY I'm named that! :wink:

Me and the Problem Child used to have all kinds of fun on the forum, like a team. I guess that's why.

We need to have some good ol' fun again when the other trouble maker is back online - it's been far too long, right?

It has been too long.....things used to be a LOT of fun back in the day. Not that they aren't now, but since Cindy became a hostess she's calmed her wildness back some. In turn calming me down too. :wink:

I guess I'll never get one, I'm too busy out digging in the dirt to be on line enough to get one

you know me, if I see it I whip my shovel out and dig it up

OMGOSH!! Last night I was impatient to find the answer to my question, and Bill was online.. so I PM'ed him and he basically told me the same thing you ladies have told me.. and he told me he would try to work out an appropriate name for me.. and LOOK!! *points* I have been named!! *dances*

And it is PERFECT!! I sent him another PM telling him how perfect it is and asked him how he knew!! Our farm name is willow Valley Acres!! I am just totally blown away!! That man is GOOD!

hehe, I am excited, can ya' tell??

why does one name a farm? Did it come with the name? I have lived here all my life and never thought about naming it. My great grand parents bought the land, but no one has ever named it.

There's a yard where I stop and dig daffodils, I have named that place the daffodil house, it's covered in daffodils and I stop there every year and cut some for Ashley's teacher. That's where I get alot of my daffodils, they won't be there much longer they have started tearing the old house down,


well I'm gonna go fix me some tuna, my blood sugar is trying to drop on me, I'll catch y'all later

Well, we named our farm mainly because we raise registered horses.. and we use the name on their registrations.. the name came to us because our whole creek is lined with willow trees. :wink:

That made me laugh I could hear your excitement in your words




Well you know what Wild Willy say,,,," Never underestimate the power of a gnome!"

I've got 12 huge pecan trees in the back of my yard but I don't run around calling it the nut farm

well...and then again...maybe

The nut farm???

pecan...nut....get it??

Yup.

I had to go let my dogas in it's below freezing now and they are not use to these cold temps, plus it's so wet out there.

I love the name Bill gave me. People think it's because I'm a Patriots fan but it's not. It's because I'm a fan of the United States of America.

I am very happy & pleased with My title as well.

and we all know I have a pet frog---right ???? 'she' lives in my window well. :wink:

The gnome knows.....the names just fit us perfect.

I'm still laughing over the 'nut farm' remark..

Here privately owned farms are named with your surname but the dairy farms have unique names that have been used through all the generations.

Wish i could get one......but I'll get one ...eventually

very good attitude, enrique.

All things happen in their own good time.

Patience is the name of the game a lot of the time. Always remember this.

Tam, are you saying that you think I'm Big Trouble?

I don't think I would WANT to call my farm the Nut Farm. Our farm name is no different for us and our horse registrations than those who raise dogs and have a kennel name or those who raise cats and have a cattery name.

I am not sure I understand what the big deal is. There are MANY farms around here that are named.

I don't think it is a big deal! Many of farms around here have names too!

I agree--many farms around here are named also--as a matter of fact many pieces of property are named. I think some people name their land for business reasons & some jsut do it because they want to. :wink:

every one has 100's of acres of cotton, soy beans and rice here and some do name the farms but when they do it's usually a family name

Hmm.. thanks you guys.. and Suzydaze, I guess I just took your questioning the farm name thing the wrong way.. I kind of felt like you were making fun of the fact that our farm has a name.. And maybe it does seem funny to you, but in our area... it is quite common.. especially in the horse breeding business.

oh no, not at all. I'm from the south and everyone knows the big plantations use to all have names (a family name), and most of the really big ones named the town the same name, it's just usually someone's last name down here.

Like (and this one is close to where I live) Wilson plantation, they dropped the plantation part and now that entire area is the town of Wilson and it's still family owned and they still raise cotton. It is a town and it is on the map. And Wilson is their family name. They own the entire town and sub lease the buildings and stuff.

There are places around me that can't be classified as a "farm", but are named anyway. The bigger properties are anyway. Somebody bought the land across the road from us and it's only about 2 acres and they named it the "New Life Community Farm". They are living in teepees, and trying to clear some of it by hand. Go figure...

Gosh--THAT should not do much for your property values should it?? I hope you never decide to sell.

what are they using for bathrooms?

Inmy opinion,they go behind the bushes

Ewwww.. that sounds kind of odd.. And kind of scary!

where else would they go if they're living in tents. Isn't there some type of ordinance about things like that nowadays?

Well, I don't think the fact of them living in teepees will cut my property values as much as the clear cutting that's going on at the property right next to them. It sure has decreased the value of the view, in our opinion.

As far as the bathroom issue, I don't know. There ARE some of the little port-a-potty things that you can get for camping...maybe they have one of those? And as for ordinances, we are out in the country and I don't think the county has any for something like that. I mean, it wouldn't be any different than backpacking in somewhere to camp and having to dig a hole and bury the waste, right?

Annette

I...don't...just..if you cross the road watch where you step

hey...take some pictures and post so we can see

I'll see what I can do...
