DD got me thinking it might be fun to have a thread devoted to figuring out our alter egos.
I want to say mine is Goldie from Fiddler on the roof, except I am not bossy like her.

Heehee, my DH has an alter ego he calls "evil twin" as in "I didn't really do that, it was my evil twin Eddie." We have never exactly settled on one for me which makes me suspect I am the evil twin..... :plbb

Do folks with split personalities get two alter egos?

Well, mathematically speaking, yup!
So, is an alter ego the polar opposite of yourself? Not sure how this works!

Um, I had a friend once tell me that I reminded her of Laura Ingalls Wilder - and she even went so far to say she thought E and I were Almonzo and Laura reincarnated (I don't believe in reincarnation, but her reasoning was cute).

She said our lives were similar, because Almonzo got hurt and Laura cared for him and supplemented their income by raising and selling chickens, peeps, and eggs - and I did, too.

Laura wanted a wood burning cookstove with a hot water resevoir - and I do, too.

She said there were other things, too, but those are the two that stick in my mind.

Exactly!!! I don't know where DH came up with the name Eddie. His father's name is Ed but I think the name just popped into his head one day. There was probably a social gathering and beer involved... :p
Guess mine just needs a name.

LMBO. We haven't named our evil twins LOL The only thing close to that I have....

DH had stopped sweating while working in the heat over a year ago. I made him go to the Dr since I was really worried about him. Digging holes and doing manual labor in 95 degree heat out in the sun and he would come home with a dry shirt, and not because the sweat evaporated.

The Dr told him he stopped sweating because he was now acclimated like a mexican. I'm not kidding you. Aside from the racist crap that remark brings with it, we had been living her for almost 10 years...and according to the Dr. he was just getting acclimated. Never mind the people that have lived here all their lives were sweating like the dickens.

Anyway, DH was cooking dinner one night...tacos I think....and I was giving him some sass as is our custom with each other (it's our play)

ME - That's right. Cook my dinner.

DH - Just call me Manuel.

About a week later he started sweating again, but I still occasionally call him "Manuel" LOL

Uh, wait til you get older!!

I'm currently living with two guys that are in the same body. Maybe. Every so often I have to tell my husband that I need to talk to the other husband. This is when he can't remember that we had an active conversation about figuring out something...a few days ago.

And me? Well, sometimes I feel sorry for him. I'm menopausal, ya know...
