Hi Dan......I appreciate the friend request and happily accept . You asked about my name and I'm assuming you can only mean.....nanaboombala ! It's kind of a long story.....but kinda cute too !( I'm somewhat prejudiced ! ) My middle son has two boys......and when they were quite young.....in the back yard going down the slide........when they reached the bottom of the slide....I would clap with glee......and say " boombala ! " For whatever reason......they thought it was hilarious ........we all laughed together and repeated this.....ad infinatum ! Well........I had been called " nana " by my oldest son's children......but my daughter in laws mother wanted to be called " nana " , also. The childern solved the problem of identifying....who was who........by....you guessed it......calling me.....nanaboombala. How it became my internet name is another story........but I won't make you read any more silliness.Again........happy to meet you........hope your day is treating you kindly.........love reading your healpful thoughts on pain......and loneliness
