I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I’m curious.

Did you grow up to be a female Canadian border patrol hobo who also knows some medicine?
