Re: ever wonder what I look like... Diane

[Guest guest]

Yep, at least you could stand up on the ambulance. LOL. That is an advantage.

hugs. Yeah, I am just very candid about everything pretty much. That is why

I could never go online and make something up to sound like I am someone else.

LOL. (it might be fun once in a while though....???).... hmmmmm... I would not

make a very good crook, would I. LOL.

love and hugs,

thanks for telling us Debra.

how many of us are candid enough to really tell a

stranger who can not see us , what we really look

like.

I just turned 54 on the 15th, have loved being a

paramedic and miss being on the trucks now.

my hair was red (now snow white/silver).blue eyes and

my irish ancestors decided i should have a light

complextion that sunburns in 15minutes then more

freckles pop.lol

i used to never leave the house with out at least

mascara (what good southern girl does). but now a days

it just seems even that takes too much energy.

I love your description of pudgy. I call it short and

compacted. and i can tell all of the partners i have

had on the ambulance. " well at least i can stand up in

the dang thing with out busting my head "
