I thought for a while (on the old board) Drew posted as Mungo. Am I remembering wrong? Or is Mungo somebody else? I am always getting confused when I see Mrs. Mungo, because I always think she is Drew's wife, but I know that's not so...

Did I just get Drew and Mungo confused on the old board?

This is not at all important, I know... just trying to satisfy curiosity! LOL

You are correct. Drew used to post as Mungo, but is now Plaid Dad. And Mrs. Mungo is not Drew's wife :)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was confused by this!

So, where does the name Mungo come from?

I believe it is from "The Hobbit" (or LOTR), dh knows, but he's asleep.

The Hobbit Name Generator (http://www.chriswetherell.com/hobbit/). At least that's where I originally got the name. I've been using Plaid Dad on these boards for a while now, but I still show up as Mungo on a few other forums (Memoria Press's, for example).

My own dw, Anne, did just join the boards so that she could report on my surgery. Her user name is waxwing. (http://67.202.21.157/forums/member.php?u=2727) :)

Been wondering about this and here seems a chance to ask.

Wow! You got me! I did know that Plaid Dad was Mungo (of old), but I really did think that Mrs. Mungo was Plaid Dad's wife! No... that's Waxwing.

My world is resolving into focus....

My family name is Scottish. Hence the plaid bit. :) The Roman stuff relates to my book (http://www.memoriapress.com/descriptions/Latin-Centered.html).
Mrs Mungo

Nope, I'm not his wife. In fact, I posted on the old boards (where I was Jenmom) that I post elsewhere as Mrs Mungo. Once he changed his name and the boards changed I went ahead and used the name I use on other boards. For me it comes from Harry Potter. St. Mungo's is where they threaten to send the insane people. I often feel insane, hence Mrs Mungo. ;)

I love that and I didn't even catch it!

Did you hear about the last movie being made into two movies? I'm very excited.......I love Harry Potter!

Wow, you can tell how long it's been since I read The Hobbit (third grade) and LOTR (c. 18 yo). There are just so many other things I want to read it's hard to go back. I can't bear to see the movies because they would have had to take so much out.

I didn't figure this out until I realized that Mrs. Mungo lives in Hawaii... I knew something was fishy then! LOL

I remember Jenmom from the old board, but I missed all the name change posts.

It doesn't help that I moved from North Carolina to Hawai'i over the holidays and came back in the midst of the board changing over. Sorry!
