Again, suffering ennui I started thinking about reincarnation. I don't know why because I don't believe in it but
as I was thinking about past lives I thought about one particular member here and what he could have been in
a past life. It came to me rather quickly, so I started thinking of other members and what they could have been
in a past lives. I came up with this list, feel free to correct me if you feel I'm incorrect or add your own thoughts
on what you think members did in past lives. My list is from on line persona, if I didn't mention you yet, it's not
because you were forgotten but because I don't quite have a grasp.

I think I was probably a Lieutenant in the famed Iron Brigade during the American Civil War. :)

Why was I in a war in the 14th century? 

Did I have gunpowder?

this is cool Kevin, I like the idea here and will try to post some of my own later

Why was I in a war in the 14th century? 

Did I have gunpowder?


Who wasn't in a war in the 14th century? I don't know why, it was just the first thing that came to my mind.
When I made my list it was made on impulse, that's why some people are still missing from the list because I
drew a blank when I thought of their name.

Some?

I thought it was a bit different, it was kind of fun to do too.  ;D


Some?


Believe me, I had your name in my mind and I couldn't think of anything. The only thing that
I can think of is something to do with 18th century southwest Indians, this is more to do with
your old avatar than anything. After I get a grasp of your posting style I put something more
definite.  ;)

That's because I not only have that avatar, I love to read about Native Americans, esp.  unknown exinct tribes like the Anazasi, and exitistant, but barely...the Inuit.  You may have been thinking Anazasi,,,they're from the Southwest.

hey, right on!! :) ;)

Fantastic  Jessica's made me laugh out loud.  ;D

Philip Eno: Mid 19th Century Orchestra Conductor.

Very interesting, it might explain my failed attempts at playing music, but have an ear for music.

BTW, which Mid 19th Century Orchestra Conductor was I?

I think Patty (BookmistressForever) should be a medieval monk creating beautiful maunscripts and maybe doing a bit of Cadfael detective work on the side.

I have a few more:

HawkTheSlayer: Mid 19th Century Shakespearean Actor

Gis: 19th Century Archivist

wildcard: 10th Century Minstrel

adagio: 18th Century Shaman

Reynolds1863: (Lieutenant in the famed Iron Brigade during the American Civil War, Her choice) ( Early 20th Century Pundit, my choice.)

That would be SO awesome.


Personally, I just think I was a worrywart in another life...  ;D  Some of those specialized skills needed to worry about everything that is beyond your control seemed to have seeped over into this life too...

CatwomanofV: Late 19th Century Woman's Rights Activist.




We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for woman's votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they're rather stupid!

Cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
"Well done, Sister Suffragette!"

From Kensington to Billingsgate
One hears the restless cries!
From ev'ry corner of the land:
"Womankind, arise!"
Political equality and equal rights with men!
Take heart! For Missus Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!

No more the meek and mild subservients we!
We're fighting for our rights, militantly!
Never you fear!

So, cast off the shackles of yesterday!
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sign in grateful chorus
"Well done! Well done!
Well done Sister Suffragette!"

that first list was as creative as it was accurate.
amazing idea..


i'll have to give it thought before I try...

Interesting- me as a Shakwespearean actor, eh?

I would've pegged that more as Johnny D!

Myself- I always thought I was more of a mid-9th Century Bard, or 13th Century Strategist.

Unfortunately, I ended up a 21st Century Schlepper.

You know Johnny D?


Mine is interesting to me.....shaman...wish he'd said from what tribe or clan.

Shaman is a generic term, there are many different cultures that employ the use of shamans so one picture won't do it. This is a start though.

ew...but could you imagine how dirty the fur would get? Yuck! I think supermarkets should have a little dispenser at the front of the store...filled with little shopping cart handle covers that slip over somehow...that way they don't get as many germs and such on them (yes, I am SO OCD).

I am not a germophobe by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I pull my sleeve up over my hands before touching the handles of shopping carts.

I don't blame you.  Lots of kids go to my store and who knows if the last one that touched your cart was sick.  Our store has the wipes for the handles, too.  Great idea, whoever thought of that.
