Holy Cow!! I just googled my brother's name.

[ScreamingMeemie]

I do this from time to time and have found that my father is an insurance salesman in PA, my daughter is a star rugby player, and I, well I am a hugely popular cricket player in England. ;)

Anyway, I googled my brother's name to find a list of his movie credits. He's a location director, screenwriter, oscar winner wannabe. Anyway, what comes up as the third hit??? A porn site with all of these video clips... Yikes!!! Glad I didn't do this with my daughter around. Now I'm wondering if my film making, father of two brother is moonlighting......Ack! My eyes!!!!

1. Hi Mrs. Grumpy!!!

How are you. I have been wondering. I hope this finds you on the mend.(better stay away from google)lol:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Everyday a bit better. I'm having a bit of trouble ridding myself of the

pneumonia, and I herniated a part of the surgery...but I'm taking it easier than I was. All systems so far look operable. Thanks so much for caring. :)

[shesemsmom]

6. Hang in

I'm glad your back

[burythehatchet]

2. Is he in the clips?

Can he get me an interview? I have a great porn name, Dixon Drake (first pet plus first street where I lived)

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Hehe. He would be the filmaker. Although I'm "reasonably" certain

he wouldn't be the same guy that came up on Google. At least I hope so. He is always complaining to me about porn producers who don't pay location fees and will just try and do their movies at the LA zoo to get a "tropical" waterfall shot and that sort of thing. But then again, who knows. If he ever fesses up...I'll give him your name because that is too good a name to waste. My name would be Sweetie Normandy. Not too shabby, eh?

3. Ahh the great unknowns of one's own family

Does one need to ask whether the pun of 'moonlighting' was intended or not?

As an aside, do you and your daughter have names which can be both male and female? Women's cricket, and even women's ladies rugby are totally unsupported sports.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Not intended. Snicker.

Perhaps I overstated and the players just have one or two overzealous fans who have devoted entire web pages to them? ;) I am also an accomplished travel book writer, and sometime aerobics instructor. :hi:

[WoodrowFan]

5. wait, I'm a hugely popular cricket player too!

do we have the same name??

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Perhaps...but then, I am hearing that there are many, many

hugely popular cricket players...;)

[Ilsa]

10. I discovered I am a medical doctor who specializes in, coincidentally,

Autism, a professor at Community College, and a librarian. I feel like such an underachiever!

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Compared to me, you are a mover and a shaker!!!

:)

[demnan]

11. A lady with my name

is evidently a prominent social critic.

I hope you are feeling 100% soon, sorry you were so sick! :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Thank you so much for caring.

The outpouring of support from you guys has been amazing, inspiring and has brought me to tears...

:hug:

[achtung_circus]

12. I used to play hockey

for the Buffalo Sabres.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. That would be so cool.

:)

[Zomby Woof]

13. That's why I like my name

99% of the hits are me, and the rest my Dad, maybe my Granddad since I have their name. :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. They both are named ZombyWoof? Wow.

;) :loveya: My daughter still gets a few hits from when she won the Spelling Bee and went to Washington a couple of years ago.

[Frogtutor]

18. I never knew I was so smart and accomplished....

Let's see; I'm Apple Computer's Senior Quick Time Product Line Manager (Please, direct your complaints to the customer service department)

I'm an accomplished engineering student,

and a high school chemistry teacher

When I googled my maiden name, I only came up with a reference to my real self on a genealogy website!

[Frogtutor]

19. My son will be thrilled to find out he's a graphic artist whose

work has involved several very popular video games! And he's only 12!

[Frogtutor]

20. Ok, Mrs. Grumpy--you've created a monster here!

I can see now I'm going to spend an enormous amount of time looking up every person I know...

Also wanted to say thank you for your kind words the other day--you were the one person who actually seemed to understand what I was trying to say!

I'm sorry to hear that you've been sick, but glad to hear that you're on the mend!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Thank you so much for the well wishes...

And I have been where you were yesterday many times. I dread the morning drop off routine because of it. :hug:

[LDS Jock]

21. I searched my name on Google's image search

and got my avitar pic as the top result. My real name leads to that? I'm a little bothered by it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I would be a little too. My avatars only come up when I search my

username here. I wonder why that is for you...

[Lavender Brown]

22. I get very few results

There is an actress who shares my name in England, but that's it. Darned unusual Italian name. :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I am beginning to think my name is run of the mill. There is a woman

in our little city with the same name. I found this out on freecycle. It was odd to get emails with my name on them...and disconcerting.

[Lisa0825]

25. When I googled mine name several years ago, I found

someone having a parellel life to mine in Australia. She had majored in biology (as had I), was working in molecular biology in a teaching hospital (as had I), and her main hobby was photography (so was mine at the time!). It was freaky! I emailed her, and we exchanged a few emails about what a coincidence it was. It was always so strange to see my own name coming into my email box from someone else!

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Funny. I just posted that in another response. There is a woman

on my freecycle group from my own city with the same name. And it's not super common or anything. It is really odd to see her emails. :hi:
