How did you think of your PF username?

I got mine from a random username generator because I suck at thinking of names that sound decent. Tbh, I don't like it that much anymore, but I'd rather keep it than try to think of a new one

My nickname comes from a long time back.
When we were kids my sister and I went back east to visit relatives (same trip we rescued a baby robin).
My sisters name was Clairyce.
One of Thies relatives thought himself a whit (more like half whit). and called her Clorox.
So he said I must be Texsize.
Texsize was a company at that time that made cleaning products like Lava soap and Borax powdered soap.

So that's where Texsize comes from nothing to do with Texas or size.

Im not very creative with names so instead of going with something mega cringe like “parrot warrior” or something unfunny like “toilet nuker” I went with my bird’s name and species nickname and, it does fit well so… yeah!

Yellow Shoulder Amazon, Salty
Way, way back, in the days of telephone modems, when AOL first started, I was writing for a motorcycle magazine, a tech column. I wanted the screen name Wrench, but to my surprise there were 12 other people in front of me with the same idea. So, Wrench13 it became and I have had that screen name ever since.

Tango a White Faced Pied Cockatiel
My other half used to have a Cessna 172 airplane. Heard a lot of the ham radio alphabet chattering while in airspace. Niner means the 9th day of October and 10 for being October so Tango was Hatched on 10/09/2011. and that is how I came up with Niner10Tango.

DonnaBudgie is pretty simple. Donna's my name and budgies are my game!
In truth, usernames and passwords are the bane of my existence! I can't remember them so I try to make them as simple and easy to remember as possible. And I STILL forget them!

I don't have problems with most passwords but when I don't use something too often... I have to change it because I forget😅

I have all my usernames and passwords automatically stored in my Google account. I realize this is probably not the most secure thing to do but it's the only way I can function as a 60 year old in this day and age.
