The One Neighbor Who Was Actually Two Neighbors: A Faceblind Miracle

A couple days ago I was talking with a neighbor and she offered to do me a favor, which I didn't think I needed at the time. I declined, and then later changed my mind, so I gave her a call and left a message. I got a confused call back asking what I was talking about.

Turns out they're totally separate people! Now I need to figure out which of them does the rowing crew stuff, which is the one from Alabama, which one baked us that nice dessert that one time, etc. Ugh.

I'm usually only *moderately* bad at faces (and really quite bad at names), but this one really takes the cake.

Lol. I can empathize with faceblind challenges!

I think I'm better at faces than you, but I got them confused as well.

For reference:
D is the one who offered the favor.
D must also be the one from Alabama, because L is a Newenglander.
L baked that nice dessert for us.
I don't know which one does rowing crew.

This makes me feel considerably better about myself. I tend to agglomerate several people into fewer people: there were 3 Michaels in our friends group for awhile, and despite contact with all of them I thought there were only 2; I have recently been learning that there are multiple actors who I think are one person and Tucker's habitual reading of credits has been setting me sort-of straight on that.
