He has such a delicious personality."<br /><br />Delicious? When did that happen?<br /><br />... Are you delicious?<br /><br />GHG.

Then again, who looks the same live as they do on TV?<br /><br />The only time I ever had anybody recognize me from my "work" was at a hockey game once. I'd posted a small version of a sign I'd designed for Rod Brind'Amour Night at the RBC Center, and somebody recognized <i>it</i> and figured out who I was from that. And yeah, the "You <i>gotta</i> be Mojo" was a special kind of thrill. Even though the person who said it was no more famous than I am.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1009687894077942012010-01-17T07:17:21.436-05:002010-01-17T07:17:21.436-05:00I'm surprised this hasn't happened to you ...I'm surprised this hasn't happened to you before. It makes me think that people in Ontario really do keep to themselves and don't spontaneously approach a familiar face in public places like they do here. Then again, Fredericton is a small place, aka Tiny Town, where everybody knows your name and comings and goings. <br />For years I was involved in Home and School, and I'm on a regular "parent panel" with the CBC morning program here in town. Plus, I don't have a clue how many I've counselled through my job. So, more than anything, my voice is recognizable. I've had the most hilarious conversations with strangers who hear me, and then launch into their opinion, their feedback.... THEN, there are the "reunions" with clients in front of the produce section, in the doctor's waiting room, at the market..... the stories and life updates people are willing to share loudly and passionately in public just about blows me away! Maritime friendliness and openness is a way of life....and it surely spices things up when you're only intent on finding a can of tuna.awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-24610541111167049712010-01-17T02:20:44.555-05:002010-01-17T02:20:44.555-05:00i knew you wheni knew you whenDavid Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690273066219097101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-22505484899344258252010-01-16T22:16:57.296-05:002010-01-16T22:16:57.296-05:00I live outside of 2 small towns (combined populati...I live outside of 2 small towns (combined population, about 7,000) but even when I am shopping in the nearest larger town (pop. 10,000) I run into someone I recognize.

I must say that the grocery store is pretty much the only place I ever connect with strangers, but maybe that's because usually when I'm in public I'm at the grocery store. I get crazy old ladies asking me about whatever hat I am wearing. No one wanted to connect with me today, though, as I was dragging my crying 7 year old to the bathroom.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795771600251766295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-8561718351281916762010-01-16T20:13:39.088-05:002010-01-16T20:13:39.088-05:00Carmi, you always make me laugh with your antidote...Carmi, you always make me laugh with your antidotes!<br /><br />Every morning I see the same TTC employee working in the same spot as I wait for the subway among a pushy crowd. Even if I am in a bad mood, he always makes me smile with his smile and our daily exchange of 'good morning'. <br /><br />Although I don't know his name, nor he knows mine - it's a positive energy boost to be to recognized and acknowledged amid the fury of the TTC rider pack.charlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-90656448477747541512010-01-16T17:40:26.935-05:002010-01-16T17:40:26.935-05:00wow - very cool!wow - very cool!Dianne - Bunny Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604043807160470553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-63901241621342850942010-01-16T17:38:10.614-05:002010-01-16T17:38:10.614-05:00Here's an idea, Carmi: Sign your name on a pie...Here's an idea, Carmi: Sign your name on a piece of paper and then give it to yourself as an autograph while you look in the mirror.<br /><br />Then play yourself a few Elvis songs while staring at the ol' navel.<br /><br />Whooppee!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-55038922803473548742010-01-16T17:00:24.139-05:002010-01-16T17:00:24.139-05:00that's very cool and very fun - congrats :)that's very cool and very fun - congrats :)denicehttp://twitter.com/denicekimberlynoreply@blogger.com
