    When I was a teenager, yes.  And it was not complimentary.  Sally Field used to have a show, Gidget.  She had a friend, I think her name was LaRue.  A very homely girl in my mind.

    My friends decided I looked just like her - thanks a bunch!!  Nowadays I would laugh it off, but those teen years are sensitive and it really hit my self esteem.

    In my schooldays, one of the older kids used to say I looked like Rupert the Bear. Duffsmom, at least you looked like a person!

      That is funny. I had to look up who Rupert the Bear was. Did you walk around in a red sweater and yellow scarf?

    I have been told I look like Bill Gates (only poorer).  I have even had someone ask to take my picture with his kids.  If I could get in contact with Bill Gates, I would offer to stand in for him (for a small fee).  I could stand in at some fund raiser or something and he could sneak off to an island to play bridge with Warren Buffet.  The way I prove to people that I am not Bill Gates is by showing them my iPhone.
