In that it is very unlikely that we will ever meet face to face, I am suggesting we describe ourselves via likenesses of tv. charcters. This will work best if we use well known prime time charcters from the past. I am like:

Personality, Sargent Dietrick from Barney Miller.

Appearance, A cross of Grizzly Adams and Kojack.

Outlook on life, Remember Higgins on Magnum,PI.?

How I think others see me, A crossof Mr. Rodgers and Lurch from the Addams Family!

Until Melissa send us round trip tickets and holds our first convention this is about the best I can do.

Too funny! I can't even think of anyone. Probably a combination of Caroline Ingalls (but heavier!!!) and the mother on the Waltons!!! That is in actions, not really in looks. But I do have blondish/brown hair and blue eyes, nice teeth, clear complexion, just need to lose weight!!!!

What if I view myself as whatever her name is, the star of Providence and my kids see me as Aunt Bea on the Andy Griffith Show?

Personality -- Caroline Ingalls' persona with Maude's attitude.

Appearance -- I've been told I resemble (in my *lighter* ;P years) Sigourney Weaver.

Outlook on life -- More Rosie O'Donnell than Oprah. More MaryAnn than Ginger.

How others see me -- Do I have to like it? My friends call me "Martha" -- and they don't even bother to do it behind my back. I like to think I'm a bit more realistic than Madame Plastic -- but hey, as a nickname it seems to have stuck.

Tracy that is so funny! My husband has called me "Martha" for years, I used to tell him not to call me that in such an exasperated way that one of my kids thought it was a cuss word!!!!!

-- Melissa in SE Ohio (me@home.net), February 19, 2002.

Melissa, to some of us, it is a cuss word! I have a personal beef against people who think a bit of gold spray paint and a few organic pears solve all the worlds problems. If it weren't so sad it would be funny!

Apperance= Alan P. Keaton "Family Ties."
