Maybe it was you signing stuff “kisses” that threw me off!

FWIW, I had you pegged from the start Aura.
My biggest confusion was with TVeblen. I thought the screen name was short for Thorstein Veblen, the economist. I read the screen names thread and (s)he confirmed that it was. Since the original was male, I just assumed.
It surprised me how often I have a mental picture of a poster – TVeblen was a skinny, older man with a short beard (that’s what he looked like in the economics book!). Now she’s a skinny older woman with a short beard.

Hmm… that’s exactly how I pictured Veb, too. (She would be the subject of the OP)
I had a teensy little crush on “him” until I found out otherwise…
It figures…
Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought.
Pluto: now be nice; I do not have a beard! Sorry for the inital confusion; it just seemed like a good idea at the time to stay “gender neutral” for a while.
ChrisCTP: I’m honored, honestly. You were the first person who befriended me here, and you didn’t change when you found out I’m female.
BTW, I’m not skinny; not fat, but not skinny either. But I am really tall–just under 5’11" barefoot! I almost responded to NeuroTrash Grrl on the tall girl/short guy topic, but was still hesitating about “coming out”.

But the more important question remains. Are you and economist or an engineer? (Engineers seem to be the only non-economists who know of the work of your namesake)

If either of us ever get lonely enough, I’ll change for you…
Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought.
Chris: hey, with the way life is going, it wouldn’t take a whole lot of change! I really like men, but women are where I live. I couldn’t survive without all the great women friends I have.
It’s such a PISSER! I firmly believe we’re hardwired for sexual attraction. I love men AND women, but somehow or other the stupid, nonbrain thing seems to be wired for men. If only they weren’t so COMPLICATED…
Manhattan: nope, neither an engineer nor an economist be I. (Ah, “economist” made your sensitive little radar sensors perk up…) To paraphrase our late President, “I am not a dweeb!”
Well, okay, I’m a dweeb. But I’m not an engineer or econmist dweeb!

Dragging this one back up because of an exchange with Waste in the Pit…
Does everyone ELSE think I’m a guy too? Just wondering…
Nah. I just wondered whether you were vireo or buteo.

Falcon: I’ve seen your pic. on the Homepage.
You’re all lady. 
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
(I actually do know that falcons are not buteos and vireos are not even hawks, but I always get bird families mixed up.)

Aww shucks… ::scuffing heels and blushing:: Thanks, sweetie!

Tom, aren’t you afraid someone will give you the bird for that?
Confession: I enjoy stimulation of my androgenous zones.
