    Hi Diane,

    Hi Diane well I guess as I got my name from my grandmother who lived in a Romany caravan ,Horses and all,and she was always saying to us that we should grow up like the Wise-Old-Owl,and when I asked her what she meant she would always quote this to me.:)
    [align=center]There my secrets out:hehe:

    A wise old owl lived in an oak
    The more he saw the less he spoke
    The less he spoke the more he heard.
    Why can't we all be like that wise old bird:)

    Hi Diane :)

    I originally used a name I had used elsewhere but changed it to Jazmine when I saw my name being misused elsewhere :mad:

    I used Jazmine because I love flowers and thought Jazmine was a pretty name and a pretty flower.

    Good thread!

    Clueless1 is my real name. Well actually its Qlieul es Wan but I thought that was too pretentious.


    I jest. I chose my username for here purely as a way to forewarn anyone that reads my posts that I'm still very much near the bottom of the learning curve when it comes to all things horticultural.

    This question has been up before but it's nice to renew it ...

    I was originally Lady of Leisure (so you may see LoL, LOL, lol mentioned a lot even on photographs ... that's me) when I first went onto forums three years ago but only with GC. I did not know the implications of LoL lol LOL etc etc etc on the net at the time and it got to where I didn't know if people were speaking to me or laughing about me ... and I'm a very sensitive person although some may not think so .... Some of my long-time dear friends still call me Lady which is lovely xx

    So ... I changed my name to my name which I have always used on other forums ... how silly is that I ask .... :)
