Okay everybody, follow my lead! Post a pic!

[Deja Q]

(Since the pic was taken, I rotated the phony tree to be in proper flow with the layout, and added color-shifting lighting to the aquarium that looks brill at night!)

[Aristus]

1. Okay, here goes. Same old, same old...

Me in the Gulf with my tank crew. I'm on the right:



And me and Mrs. Aristus on our honeymoon:



Whoopee! I finally get in early on a pic thread! :bounce::woohoo::applause:

[kiraboo]

4. Maybe it's the same old to you, but I haven't seen it.

Very nice, and thanks for posting! Lovely wife. (Lovely husband too, but it's terribly inappropriate for me to say!)

[Aristus]

9. It's the uniform, right? Chicks dig the uniform.

B-)

I'm just kidding; and I don't mind being called lovely. ;-)

[kiraboo]

20. All right then.

Though it's true... I love a uniform...

[NNadir]

13. You know, you look like Willie the Shake, modernized.

No wonder you evoke him so tellingly.

[Aristus]

15. Thank you! Now, do I look like...

The Droueshout Engraving...

Or the Chandos portrait?


I prefer the Chandos; he's better-looking in this one.

[kiraboo]

33. Wasn't it Mark Twain who said that a particular bust

of Shakespeare "looked like a bladder"? I've always loved that.

[NNadir]

39. Mark Twain was one of those who believed that Shakespear was

a fabrication, a pseudonym, used by a Noble.

[kiraboo]

41. That's true. I didn't expect anyone to be aware.

But regardless of his beliefs, the pictures don't represent the genius of the literature. IMHO.

[Aristus]

58. Probably this bust of him in the Stratford church:

It's the only image of The Bard that we have that we know was approved by the family. Therefore, the only one with a good chance of being a close likeness.

[NNadir]

40. Chandros.

[Aristus]

54. You know who looks even more like Shakespeare?

Richard Schiff, of The West Wing.




You be the judge.

[miss_american_pie]

2. My duvet is the same color as yours

Here's a pic of my baby at the zoo.

[kiraboo]

5. What a cute little muffin, miss_american_pie.

My older kids refuse to allow me to post their pics. I might, anyway.

[miss_american_pie]

8. Thank you

I think that's a mom's prerogative to post kid pics. :hi:

[kiraboo]

11. Not when they're teenagers! But let me look around and

see what I can find...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

3. From my other thread:

My African grey parrot monkeying around with my piano. :D

[kiraboo]

6. An artist such as yourself really should take better care

of your instrument!
J/K.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. LOL!

That's Pineapple's job--managing not to shit on the ivories!

:7

[kiraboo]

16. I've heard that birdshit makes a fine polish

for them ivories!

[kiraboo]

10. I've posted this prim one before

but I can't find my digital camera to take anything new. In reality, I'm infinitely more cheerful.

[qnr]

23. Well yeah, I wouldn't be cheerful knowing that I was soon to lose my

digital camera... Nice photo though.

[kiraboo]

26. Laughing. Yeah, if only I had known!

That picture was literally the last tolerable moment I've lived since the first week of March. Within half an hour, everything I knew to be true revealed itself to be a tremendous lie.

I look much, much worse now.

[Redstone]

30. But it will be better. Maybe not soon, but it will be.

Trust me on this.

Redstone

[Aristus]

62. Lookin' good, kiraboo!

:thumbsup:

45. thanks. I'm freshly dumped so it's good to hear

[Skittles]

112. YES

HE IS A GRADE-A cutie PIE

[qnr]

44. You know, sometime... probably about four hours from now, as I'm dropping

off to sleep, it is going to occur to me who, precisely, you remind me of.

:hi:

[yurbud]

49. I used to get a lot of Seinfeld references, and not Jerry...

[qnr]

50. I can see the Jason in there, but I don't think that that is it :) n/t

[yurbud]

55. oh, if it is anyone else, I'll take it as a compliment

[redqueen]

81. Aww c'mon!

Jason's cute, and so are you. :hi:

[yurbud]

99. thanks.

[WCGreen]

17. Cat in a box in a box.....

We went to COSTCO yesterday.....

[qnr]

22. lol, how do you manage to look dignified in a box in a box?

:)

[WCGreen]

24. It's just the way she is.....

Gretchy....

I named her after my mother....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. What a beautiful cat......

She does have a very dignified air about her......

Lovely!

:hi:

[WCGreen]

67. Only until she wants her belly rubbed....

[qnr]

70. Off topic, but looking at the Jean Auel books there, it reminds me of a

series I used to enjoy, First Americans by William Sarabande

[NMMNG]

77. Beautiful cat

I see somebody likes the Earth's Children series.

[In_The_Wind]

100. Great photo!

[qnr]

21. Thanks :) n/t

[WCGreen]

25. I have pet spiders all over my house.....

The cats dig 'em....

[qnr]

38. I don't mind them here. I wasn't particularly fond of them when we were

living in Nevada and Oklahoma recently...

[MarianJack]

53. Hello From Augusta To Augusta,...

...Maine transplant to (I assume) Native Mainer! :hi: :bounce:

My family and I are in response # 51!

[qnr]

57. Hiya :) Yeah, transplant is the word - no matter where you're talking

about LOL --- for one reason or another I've lived in/on all 50 states and all 7 continents.

[MarianJack]

61. We're Transplants, too!

We came here from Philadelphia 4 years ago. We wouldn't go back for all the tea in China (Maine OR Asia)!

[Mutley]

27. This little guy lived on my balcony for awhile last summer.

I think the big spider also living on my balcony got him, though.

[qnr]

29. Wow. He has a microwave antenna array...

:hi:

[Mutley]

31. Yeah, I thought he looked like a little stegosaurus.

:D

:hi:

[u4ic]

32. He looks remarkably like

my floor brush...

[Mutley]

48. ...

:P

[In_The_Wind]

101. maybe he grew up into a butterfly

nice butterfly

[Mutley]

120. That'd be nice.

Actually I think someone told me it was a moth caterpillar. But either way...

[ornotna]

28. Here's one I haven't posted before

[u4ic]

34. Are 70's colours

coming back again? :scared:

She is a beauty.

[txwhitedove]

42. My son, Joseph, in Kenya last year...

[qnr]

43. Nice - What was he doing in Kenya? n/t

[txwhitedove]

46. He spent 4+ months traveling/hiking Africa summer 2005...

until mid September when he finally arrived at his sister's house in Douala, Cameroon. She and her husband now live in Houston, but we all had to go visit while they lived there. Keep checking, for one day I'll post a picture of myself with the pygmies!

[qnr]

47. I'll be waiting anxiously :) - I lost all my photos of Africa years ago n/

[u4ic]

60. Your son is very handsome

and adventerous - good for him! :thumbsup:

[txwhitedove]

65. Thanks. And attention, ladies, he's single.

[MarianJack]

51. Posted This One Before, But...

The beautiful lady is ChicaAzul. The beautiful little boy is our son Jonathan. I'm the pudgy old fart.

[qnr]

52. Why am I suddenly thinking of the WA state flag?

:hi: looks like a happy time

[MarianJack]

56. It Was!

Right before his 5th birthday. He's 6 now.

Hello again, fellow Augusta person! :toast:

[u4ic]

59. You have a beautiful family!

You're all just beaming. :-) The love really shows in that picture.

[MarianJack]

63. I Didn't Get Married Until I was 43,...

...and our adoption was out of the blue.

BUT, I wound up with the family I'd dreamed of all my life! We, like all families, have our bumps in the road, but we truly enjoy each other!

[Sugar Smack]

97. Three beautiful faces!

:loveya:

[MarianJack]

103. I'll Stipulate to 2!

I've broken too many mirrors to say "beautiful" about me.

I'm SOOO glad my wife agrees with you, though! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

64. Me and my husband, a couple of weeks ago, at the Getty Villa......

[txwhitedove]

68. Mrs and MR CalPeg! Lovely photo as always.

Oh, thank you so much!

We had a lovely time there......

:hi:

[WCGreen]

69. You guys know everyone...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. How I wish!

Wouldn't it be something else to know Getty personally?

Or, even better, to have been his heir? *sigh*

Nice to see you tonight......:hug:

[RetroLounge]

72. Here's a new pic,

Just took it. How does CaliforniaPeggy take those great mirror pics?

[Deja Q]

104. Nice!

:thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

110. You do know what happens when you complement someone ...

about vacation photos don't you? You get more photos!


This was a peaceful Friday evening on the Gulf of Mexico off of Islamorada in the Florida Keys.



And then he said "Hand feed the fish, it's fun." It was but I also fed the fish a little bit of skin off my thumb.




This is one of the hurricane proof homes being built in the Keys.
They are constructed of all poured concrete with a safe room in the center of the building.

[MissMillie]

84. Here's my son and his cousin when they were small
