"bbaero?" What gives?

A shout-out to my roots

How many of us would be nowhere without our parents or our guardians? And how hard is it to think of a unique site name?!??

I used my mother's creativity to honor all she's done for me and my family. Aero, the chocolate bar is filled with bubbles. And ads for it were all over the place in the Seventies. At some point in time one of those ads inspired my mom to christen me with a nickname. "My bubbly, bubbly Aero!" To this day, well into adulthood, she still uses that nickname. I did a quick search, and barring a Polish and an Ohio-based aerospace company, no one else was using "bbaero." So I figured, "Why not?"

So, Mom, this website (for obvious reasons ) couldn't be here without you. Thank you so much, even though you always reply, "I'm your mother!! I DON'T NEED THANK YOU'S!!!!". From the bottom of my heart.

I feel the same way about the rest of my family, even though their nickanmes for me are NFSW.

Back in my day...
