Re: If you had to be yourself and a character in a t.v. show, which show would you be in?

"Our Miss Brooks," an early sitcom (early 50s) in reruns when I was in school in NYC in the 1970s. Eve Arden was the star; I always admired her dry sense of humor and spunky attitude.

I liked her dresses and accessories;  she dressed well on a teacher's salary.  Guess she saved on rent money by rooming with Mrs. Davis.  Hope you were not adversely affected by Hurricane Irma.

Hi @deepwaterdotter!  I have just gotten my phone and internet services back after two weeks.  I had no power for about 10 days. 

 

We had a lot of mini-tornados that tore out trees and damaged power lines--but we saw nothing of the terrible wind they got in Marathon and Big Pine Key.  All is well now. 

 

I am worried about how Puerto Rico is going to recover. They pay US taxes but somehow don't seem to be on the US radar screen.  They got a little of Irma but the brunt of Maria.

How about you?  What show would you be in?  Woman Wink


I love Lucy, I love the idea of having friends that you can do anything with.  I would love to have neighbors like them.  The friend ship between the 4 of them is so much fun to watch.  Plus I love the clothes in that time period.

Challenging question!

 

I would love to be in Downton Abbey.   Either servant or royalty, don't even care

 

I have a little Julie Sugarbaker in me.   I've perfected the polite insult.  You know the kind, you don't know you've been insulted until you think about it!

 

But I think #1 would be Mad Men.   I love the time of history.  I would love to live in one of those fabulous apartments in Manhattan with a doorman. (I don't want to live with the doorman, I need grammer lessions)   I started my career in the early 1970s and while we have come a long way, baby, I somewhat long for those loosey goosey days of 2 martini lunches, etc.    No one in Manhattan drives, so no designated driver necessary!   I would be Peggy or Joan.
