I really have no idea-but since it is someone that has been around a long time I will guess-Chris in the Valley....?

Pat

My guess is Rouan.

Ditto Rouan. And if it isn't Rouan, then the two of you must have come out of the same genetic pool. ;-)
I actually remember Paula, Mme. Rosefolly, mentioning that someone introduced her to this forum, but I don't recall her saying that it was her sister.

I'd say Rouan. I always think of you both 'together/in the same breath' as it were!

I often wonder if other RP'ers have a 'picture' in their mind of what others maybe look like or something about their characters/personalities.

Before I read any of the other guesses, I wanted to ask if it was Rouan. If not Rouan, then possibly one of the many Pams?

To all of you who guessed rouan, you are correct! Just out of curiosity, what clued you in? :)

For me it was pure intuition. As soon as I read the question, your name popped into my mind. Then I went to the Introduction thread, read Paula's introduction and your introduction, both stating you grew up in western Pennsylvania, and decided my intuition had come through again. I honestly don't remember reading anything before that made me think you were related.

Exactly what Frances said. I also remembered the Western Pennsylvania connection, perhaps because I used to live in Meadville, PA. "Women's intuition...."

I didn't read your pages but I knew both your reading habits from numerous discussions, particularly the sci-fi/fantasy/YA reads. Also, your general outlook on life. Your parents did a good job, btw. :-)

Well I blew it LOL!...and my favorite genre is mystery - ha!
..boy did I miss all the clues!

Pat

Thank you all for participating. Yes, the western Pennsylvania bit was a deliberate clue from long ago.

Rouan and I don't really see ourselves as being all that much alike. From within a family, you tend to see the differences, not the similarities. I like dogs, she prefers cats; I like books with sad endings, she hates them; I grow roses, she grows herbs. By the way, there are three more sisters and a brother. None of the others are on the forum, though, so there are no more surprises lurking.

Pat, thank you for being brave and going first. Nothing ventured...

And thank you, Janalyn. I'll tell our parents you said so.

Yes, I thank you for participating as well. And Paula is right, we do see ourselves as being very different, but perhaps we are not as un-alike as we had thought.

As to the other siblings, I've tried my best to get them interested in RP, but they have other pursuits that call them first (even though they all do like to read).

I can't believe I never picked up on this! Guess I'm not nearly as intuitive as I think I am. How lucky you are to get along so well - I barely speak with my sisters. Not because of animosity, but because we have so little in common and nothing to talk about.
