Would love to know...

I am pretty sure I am descended from Pocahontas although I have not found the missing link yet. But then again, you can't prove I am not.

I refuse to answer the wrinkle question.

OK i`m in.

50 year old

I find something a little disquieting about this thread. I don't think this information in this form gives us any useful medical data. The internet is the only place a person can go and be taken pretty much at face value without the add on prejudices of ethnicity, gender, age and so forth. We have to judge people on how they present themselves to the world not on our own preconceived ideas. We have done surveys before of age etc to get statistical ideas but I don't remember a thread like this. I think I will delete my info and just make those who don't know, guess. A more fun question would be what do you think I look like?

 

OK June - here it goes: Your in your late 40's? Light brown hair, sportin' a tan these days, green eyes and you like to read books and take strolls through the city streets in your free time

How'd I do?

I'll take it! See, I knew I was better off with imagination than facts. You got the eye color right.

 

June you look just like my cousin.

Female-47 years old
Meniere's, possibly MAV. Newly diagnosed. Adie's syndrome.
Mostly Irish (my dad says the freckles are angel kisses), but a good splash of Cherokee tribe.
Pink lotus tatoo just over my tushie. *grins*

 

Age- 45
Female
Acadian French, Penobscot, Highland Scots, Eastern Cherokee, Yamesse, weeee bit of German that married into the Highland Scots and a tiny bit of English in the 1600's for good measure. So basically I am a Heinz 57. ;D
Mom is from MA but the rest of the family line is from Nova Scotia and Dad is from the Greenmountain area of NC.
Bilaterial MM
Totally deaf low to mid tones in my right ear.. still have high pitched hearing but it sounds like Darth Vader on Helium
tested twice in two different states by specialists
Been living with it for 28 years
But I have a feeling some of the problems I was having were warning signs before that first major drop attack.
Have never smoked or drank.

Personally I don't mind seeing the info on people. I have spent a longgg time doing Genealogy research and am always curious. And personally... I don't care what flavor/color people are... its their kindness and what is in their hearts that count.
