I am screaming, here. (Bruce is laughing politely and trying to read a book
while I shriek at him across the room.)

Marsha wins for cutest picture, IMHO, with eightpans a close second. I
never, ever would have guessed that was Marsha. But now that you tell me,
yup, that's her.

How many people voted and how many people guessed me (me me me!) correctly?
I was sixteen years old in that photo, singing the role of Josephine in
Gilbert & Sullivan's "HMS Pinafore" on stage at my high school. I was
scared shitless.

I was as totally duped by Les's photo as others apparently were. Great
surprise!

I could go on and on, and probably will tomorrow, but for now I'll just say
thank you, Jef. You really know how to show a girl a good time.

I will email you a few others. You'll see how that face hasn't changed
appreciably since she was 4 or 5...

27 people voted. Only 5 picked you correctly. 7 picked me correctly. Lynn
was picked 20 times, Debbie 11 times and Sarah 10 times

And boy have you changed. I guessed it was you because Jef gave the hint
about the snapshot being sent by mail, and none of the rest of the photos
looked any more like you than your own did. (Did I say that right?)

I think you were a beautiful child. Not homely. More what we used to call
"goinky." :-) Complete with crooked glasses. I'm surprised they weren't
held together with tape.

You were Bruce's favorite in the array. He couldn't believe the contrast in
pictures.

What's it like to grow from a plain Jane to a beautiful woman?

Nothing bad, honestly. I have a thing for noses figuring they don't change
much over the years and that is how I chose most of the answers I got. I did
have problems with you, Cat and Edna because you are all blond and roughly
have the same look as a kid

Oh my. What an incredibly nice question! Thank you!

Credit goes to peroxide, orthodontia, preventative dermatology, hair
curlers, straighteners etc., contacts, and most of MAC's line.

I'd say that on the one hand I appreciate being able to look nice more
than someone else who might have grown up beautiful.

That said, I rarely doll up. Usually wear my glasses, no makeup etc.,
so I'm likely looking more like my 3rd grade picture than ever.

It is nice to know I can pull it off if I have to (although it takes
longer and longer with less impressive results).

I LOVE your HMS P picture! Daddy taught us most of HMS P and we'd
sing it around the piano. You're beautiful then and now!

Lynn thank you. Things got significantly worse (say, all of the teen
years) before they got better. And they got better thanks to a
variety of chemical products, processes, and some fine doctors. Trust
me, had I lived in Little House on the Prairie days things would have
continued on that rather desperate trajectory.

And I am the subject of no drool. One has to leave one's books and
one's house to possibly be the subject of drool <sigh>.

No-- you were picked correctly a few times, strangely enough. I think 5 or 6
people got you.
Your photo's a bit small and grainy, compared to the larger headshots; makes
it a bit tougher.

Mom's doctor got her in touch with a support group run by the palliative
care phy (head shrinker). they meet once a week and she gets to talk. she
has guilt too (for what I have no idea) and is depressed. Mom is a quiet
shy person and always had a hard time making friends, shyness comes off as
being aloof. Dad was the one who was outgoing and people buzzed around him.
Like you mom is finding it hard dealing with her loss and being on her own
for the first time ( married since they were 17). she is learning to become
more independent but it takes time.
get in touch with your hospital or doctor to see what is available

Thanks, Lynn. I've been giving this some serious consideration. I'm
sure that I'm still in a natural grieving process, but if things don't
improve after the holidays I'm going to have to do something.
I'm so sorry for your mom, but I'm glad she is learning independence.
That can be very difficult.
