Looking like you have CF

We had a discussion about facial features a while back and here's the link:

I can usually point out CFs, or suspect that they have CF by things that have been mentioned here: voice, cough, posture, skin tone, facial features, barrel chest, clubbed fingers, etc.

I didn't look like I had CF forever, but in recent years, I think I do by the apples of my cheeks (as described in above link) and by my skin tone. I've always had the clubbed fingers and pot belly (yeah for me<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">!!).

I wonder if I'd be recognized as being a CF'r?!

Even when I was at CF camp, the other campers had asked if I had CF, probably because I never did nebs, I only had to get morning PD (or evening, whichever I preferred), and my only issue was digestive.

Outside having the clubbed fingers, I don't think I would be thought of as having CF with a 5'10", straight back posture (corrected from Iaido), and probably no "raspy" CF voice, which I recall a few at CF camp had once had. Everyone's seen my photo, but only Mel and Terri (Kayleesgrandma) had the "priveledge" of hearing my voice on the phone!

I definetly don't look as if I have CF. Some people have mentioned the voice thing, if you mean sounding like Morpheues from the Matrix then no, I have no idea about that, I sound normal. I do notice that I have the barrel chest; but people have pointed that out as a good thing, they presume I have bench-pressed before. I'm usually pretty quiet, except in the morning. I think I could fool Slyvia Brown.
