Mine is pronounced just like it looks. 
As far as the meaning, our family uses the term "bear" as an endearing nickname for one another (i.e. "Hey there Bear! How are ya today?"). Anyway, I have always loved baking, and my grandma & mom would say, "There's that Baker Bear at it again in the kitchen!" So the name kind of stuck.
My mom & I have always said that if we ever opened up a bakery it should be called "Baker Bear".
So my screen name was really a no-brainer.  |

Mine is Pama2d... pronounced "pamatude". It was started by my brother who states that I have an "attitude" problem (which, of course, I disagree with) and used to call me Tude... until one day when my nephew, who was fairly young at the time, said something in reference to me and called me Auntie Pamatude... hence the Pama2d! |

It sounds like its spelled way words. Only with a z because I love to play with words. I consider myself an unplublished author. Well, unless you count the one poem I have on poetry .com I have some childrens stories I've written, three novels in progress. And some odds and ends of other stuff. I know someone who is published and he has been giving me pointers on getting my stuff done (He says its good and I should.) I've got lots of excuses why they aren't published. Mostly fear of rejection. I hope to one day get them all published. I love cake decorating and this was the first and only cake site I'd been on and the first time I'd ever belonged to a group with a forum before. Haven't had the internet long. I wanted something to describe myself. Before I joined here I entertained ideas about a cake business and wanted to forget the writing but, after seeing what all is invoved with becoming "legal" and fighting arthritis in my hands I decided to keep writing. Sorry so long. I guess I need an editor. lol  |

waywordz...how about a book with a cake decorating theme? I've seen books with true stories about medical mysteries, stupid criminals, Darwin awards, etc. How about some of the stupid and astounding stories making the rounds about customers wanting to order a cake? Like indydebi saying some lady wouldn't eat the cake because the lady "just knew" the cake was more than 4 hours old. Or the 5 teenage girls who all got sick when they tried eating enough cake for 80 people, and the mother who ordered the cake wanted her money back? Or the guy who went to pick up the wedding cake...on his motorcycle. Lots of short stories to make every cake decorator laugh! Or cry. |

CarolAnn; DH + I celebrated our 38th Anni. this year. And how about Wooden Cakes for your shop? You could hand out wooden nickels to advertise your business?
I read from the back forward so, I just saw your posting. I passed 30 a long time ago. lol
Ok. I reread this and I meant "Wood and Cakes" but, in my haste I wrote wooden because I was thinking about the nickles you could use for advertisment, and when I had the idea it sounded good in my head. But, I was thinking more of the wood side. The coins could say "You can get wooden nickles here but, we only have the most wonderful soft cakes."
I don't care how old I get, it's better than the alternative. Except for the "  " thing. I understand the "preview" button better now. |

Gemini RJ I have had several ideas for us as a group to do and no clue as to how to put it together. 1) Hints/tips. 2) Cakewar stories 3) How NOT to make a cake and more but, I also haven't checked yet to see if its been done somewhere yet. One of the best murder mysteries I read was where the writer also had recipes in the story. I can't remember the title right now, but, that was so cool! I would never do anything without you guys knowing first. I'm an honest person. You also have to be careful when writing true stories. Protecting the innocent, you know. (lol, I heard a lot of those stories.) |

Mine is from my kids. My first son, instead of momma or mommy, would call me Monna. Sounds like Momma but with an N. And it just kinda stuck so much so that I am Aunt Monna to my nieces and nephews. Even to my very close friends who know the story line and who have stuck with me that long,  As for the #'s its a very special date to me that stands for freedom. |

Varika was a character I made up when I was, oh, sixteen or so, for some story or another I was writing. She was Robin Goodfellow's fiancee, because she couldn't pin him down for the wedding. And it's almost never taken anywhere I go, and it sounds nice, so I kept it. |

One day my husband said he had no problems, so I told him that it was because he had good kids and a GR8YF, great wife. |

Mine is boring. Simply abbreviated forms of my first and last name. Yes, even my last name! It has 12 letters. No joke! I was assigned this ID at grad school and it just sort of stuck. |
