Dweller NOT RFN Pictures
Found some old pics of me today so I thought I would share. If any of y'all have any, you can share here as well.
I couldn't find a matching thread for this so I hope no one minds that I just started a new one.
Just a lil' un.
From 2005
Oddly enough, your 2005 picture reminds me of morethanpretty. Long-lost cousins?
I'm looking for your punchline...
Hihi....I think Clodfoddle misread the poster's name. :p
halloween 1980. me on left.
That poster is familiar... is Blondie?
Hihi....I think Clodfoddle misread the poster's name.
Holy crap, I totally did! I was thinking monster posted this, because she just posted some old pictures of herself in another thread. Well hot damn I'm good at recognizing faces then, eh?
Stars and Stripes in the 97 pic? :lol: I wish I were that young. in 97 I gave birth to Hebe
That poster is familiar... is Blondie?
Correct! Autoamerican cover.
What were you for Halloween that year? A Hanes model?
Whoa, this thread was freaking me out, first Clod asking if morethanpretty was morethanpretty and then jinx talking about the poster being familiar...I read poster as *the person who posted in this thread* = poster....and I was like, flipping out that jinx didnt know who UT was and Clod didnt know that mtp was mtp.
Im going back to crack smoking now
Yeah, it's been a little hard to follow. :haha:
I believe I rejected the entire notion of Halloween as a "reverse conformity" holiday, where people could feel safe rejecting conformity as a group. I explained to mystified people that my costume was "a rock".
I thought you were one of those newfangled "joggers".
I think I had that same sweatsuit, for track practice.
So, in 2005, MTP looked like MTP and in 1980 Undertoad did Halloween dressed as Shawnee. That it?
Star and Stripes in the 97 pic? :lol: I wish I were that young. in 97 I gave birth to Hebe
Fixed :P
Its the Lone Star (Texas) flag not US.
UT, you don't make a very pretty Shawnee.
me in 1982 , Iceland
I didn't know the Marines let you keep that much hair.
Right on Spud! Welcome home mate!
Spud, what's the story with the Gerber baby?

Circa 1964
Hey, Zippy was cute in '82! How old were you then? :D
Thanks Merc. And the Gerber baby was a card one of my team got from home. Don't remember what it said.
zip, you do resemble drew carey there! lol
me and my son trevor about 4 years ago at the farm....

You looked a bit "Screech"ish [saved by the bell]
I'm the one reading the paper. My grandfather is next to me asleep. This would have been around 1980 or so.
It was our 2nd VW Bus. The middle seat was easy to remove for camping trips. My dad had built a platform and also mounted a couple of supports so a sheet of plywood could rest on the front seat backs and a removable rope that stretched across the inside of the bus to those supports. Each night, we would install the rope and pull the sheet of plywood down off the roof rack. We had home made foam mattresses. We could easily sleep 6 in that bus, assuming 2 were kids and would sleep down in the "sweatbox."
Those were good days. We crossed the country 3 times in a VW bus and saw a lot. At night, if there was no campground around, we'd pull off into some deserted dirt side road. We were very self contained.
Sometimes I feel like I'm depriving my own kids because we don't do stuff like this with them. But I don't have summers off like my dad did, and I think people today would shoot you if they saw you parked by the side of the road overnight. Or at least call the cops.
Thats really cool glatt! You're not deprivin' your kids, everyone grows up with different experiences and memories. You do your best and that is what counts.
Thats really cool glatt!
Thanks. It was always a lot of fun. We had a lot of adventures.
Look at you reading your paper, in your Fievel Mousekewitz hat. That's an "oh hai" shot if I ever saw one.
It's like Little Mr Sunshine! ;)
Look at you reading your paper
Actually, thinking back, there is no way it would be a newspaper. Those were rare when camping. It was probably a MAD magazine.
Har! look at that old Cornflakes box at the back. Cute.

What, me worry?
BTW, I like the "triple stack" sleeping arrangements. It's like Jenga!
Studying the photo closely, it looks like the Sunday Comics from the newspaper, disguising the smut magazine behind it.
What secured the upper bed platform to the roof? Duct tape?
It was pretty clever. A hinge was screwed up into the roof truss on each side of the bus. The other side of each hinge was tied to a rope, and the rope stretched loosely across the bus like a hammock. The plywood was supported on one end by the rope sling and by the front seat backs on the other end. During travel, you would just pull each hinge pin, and the rope could be removed with the attached hinges on each side.
From your posts, we can deduce that your family was clever, fun, and close. You're a lucky guy to have those memories.
And, yes, you should be doing the same with your kids and relatives. (Yeah, I know. Easy for me to say. But I bet you'd have a ball.)
Here's me. maybe age 3?
Bonus shot: the baby is my mother. You'll have to pardon the quality, but needless to say we were lucky the newsprint hadn't just fallen apart.
That's awesome, steve -what a lovely pic and article to have. And I mean that in the true sense of awesome.
Me, less than a year old. :D
Oh how darn cute, Tulip, and you really haven't changed, except being taller. :)
Steve, your ancestors all look so happy in that picture!
Me at the Loover, 1989.

You didn't even try to mimic the nudity. Do over.
Are those lederhosen, Scriveyn?
They are. Strangely enough I remember them, even though I hardly remember anything from those early days. Must have been 1960 or so.
Oh how darn cute, Tulip, and you really haven't changed, except being taller. :)
Thank you! Am glad you added the being taller part. :p
I love this thread, such neat pictures. :D
All Scriven has to do is flip that picture and it is the same pose as Glinda!

But.... I was nekkid under my clothes!
I am the little angel, my mom picked the perfect costume.
This is me in 1988 inside an old
Roman aqueduct in the south of France.
With a Latin sounding T-shirt, too!
HOLY CRAP. Glatt's HOT.
Oh, we all knew that. And he still is!
Someone just told me about this pic on FB...
hubba-hubba
Very pretty, Jinx. What was the occasion?
A prom. Caption says jr but I think was really sr. Girl on the left has it posted on her page.
my cousin had that same dress, only in blue. Lovely, jinx. I need to dig out my old prom pics.
Okay, so this is rf last year, but I wanted to get a gun pic out here.
You better Hold that Shot gun tighter to your sholder or its going to HURT !!!
But Still looken Good Case !
Young Jinx , I see Why jim fell for ya !! GRRRRRRRR!
And it did...that was my first time shootin. Learnt mah lesson!

We have all learned that lesson at least once, trust me :eek:
Mine was with my Dad grinning from ear to ear after I shot his 300 Winchester Magnum with it just slightly off my shoulder. I thought I had broken something!
Or like the time I first shot a 44 magnum handgun ... was about 10 and even holding it with both hands it still jumped back in and the hammer drew blood on my forehead. Ahhh ... good memories ...
No pictures of me shooting, but here's a rugged outdoorsman one from a while ago.;)
Well of course I have some for you too :)
No access to a scanner anymore though - so it's photos of photos.
Most have turned out quite well.
Pic 1: I'm on the right at my sister's communion, aged 5 (although I'll be 6 in 3 months)
Pic 2: Our little gang - at the front our next door neighbour, then my sis, then me. Any idea how I grew up with ugly duckling syndrome? Summer 1983. Note the field to our left and the view of farmland at the bottom of the path. Compare and contrast
with recent pic. Not quite the same angle, but I hope you get the idea.

Wow. Quite a difference. If the house on the left with the brown siding wasn't still there, I would say they are two entirely different places.
Laura and I at the start of the 1986 school term.
We're at different schools, hence the difference in dress, as she does not have to wear a uniform.
I'm proud in my black jumper, which you can only wear in the 4th and 5th year.
It was a poor photo to start with, hence the poor quality reproduction.
And finally. Found the album my parents put together after my wedding.
A bit of crying, a lot of soul searching, but that was weeks ago.
Am content to accept it as the past, and value the photos.

You're prettier now, you know.

No, I don't have a fucking clue... seriously. :headshake In all the pictures you've posted of yourself, your sister, and friends, you're as pretty, or more so, than any of the others. I just don't get it. :confused:
I dont see it either, she's very cute in all those pictures.
Awesome pics SG.
Wow glatt, that's an old sled. I had a Polaris Indy 600 when we lived where it snowed. Fast.

This one was a lot of fun, but I wouldn't call it fast. It was perfect for letting us kids ride it around and not get into trouble from losing control while going too fast.
Gorgeous wedding pics, SG. Truly fine.
Prior to my Senior Prom, circa 1974. I'm the short one.
I don't have any old ones scanned for the pc but this one is old enough..It's the saddest picture ever. It's about 6 years ago there about.

I realizes the 70s were a casual decade... but is that what you wore to the prom?

...and is that your date?
Beat me to the punch(line)...again!
No. *Pre* prom. Here's us, with dates.
If my date looks familiar, it's because she's the lady I went to visit in Vegas a couple of years ago.
What the heck are all those "loafy" looking things in the case?

Prolly ice cream cakes.

But Still looken Good Case !
Young Jinx , I see Why jim fell for ya !! GRRRRRRRR!
And lean forward a bit. Looking good Case! Hottie.
What the heck are all those "loafy" looking things in the case?
I dunno, we should probably just ask case.
Hey, case, do you know . . . . oh, wait.
Har, har, Sleeve!
They do look a bit like meat, though.
I really shouldn't have gone there.
ya know what's weird?? Els date has the exact same expression on her face in both pics!!!!!!! *mind blown*
Because she's thinking, hmm, how am I going to get my tongue around this...
Found this going through some of Mom's stuff. Me rf 1959 or 60.
1969 - Don't remember this too well but I was told I called the three girls "my blond haired, blue eyed pets" ... seems a bit young but I guess I liked girls early. Funny the first wife wasn't blond/blue eyed but the 2nd one sure is :D
Also love that I am about as dirty as I can be and they are all clean ... what was that all about?
You're a boy. That pretty much 'splains it all.
Found an old college friend on FB. She just posted up this picture of me in 1994. Yes, I had braces in college. :p As you can see from my dark circles, I didn't sleep much then. :(
Yeah, but the smile says you were having fun. ;)
Wait, you were in college in 1993? You look like your are in college in that ukulele video. In fact you look younger in that video than you do in this picture.
Thank you very mucho, Squirelly. (Taking your comment as a compliment.:D) Sleep deprivation and meager food intake can make a person look old. Couldn't really eat with all those wires. :3_eyes:
Me and The Silver Bullet. Circa 1988 (?). The happiest days of my life were spent in that car. God, I loved that car.
Soccer 1979. Me = front row, third from left.
So was the kid in the red shirt the goalie, or did he just not understand the concept of a uniform?
I think I know the guy bottom right.... looks creepy familiar.
Clod, goalies are always centre in team photos and always have a different strip.
UT.... you look a bit like... Glatt?!
We looked somewhat alike 30 years ago, now we're totally different.
What's sad is that I can only remember half the guys' first names, and only three full names. I remember the guys who were my friends, the other guys... nothing.
The goalie looks like Alberto from Little House....only.....EVIL
Clod, goalies are always centre in team photos and always have a different strip.
What a relief. For a moment, I was afraid he was going to be killed when the team beamed down to the planet.
What a bunch of wimps, not a beer gut in the bunch. :haha:
Gravdigr ... love the car, a statement.
UT, any memories about the big lug in the back row who isn't even looking at the camera?
Jeff was a good guy, very good natured, but I stayed over at his house once and they kept the place at 55 F degrees at night and slept with electric blankets. I thought this was a very strange practice.
What a relief. For a moment, I was afraid he was going to be killed when the team beamed down to the planet.

Is that a mirror shot? I was wondering why 'minolta' reads correctly. Didja flippit? Huh? Didja? Didja?
Or is it a Atlonim?:eyebrow:
Nowadays it's easy for the younguns to take a shot in the mirror what with their mobile phone cams and whatnot
DUDE!
I :lol: @ jim.
