You RFN, 2013
There have been numerous changes in the past few weeks. I want to thank all of you for the cards, cookies, and gifts over the holidays. Hopefully this will be a better year, Insha'Allah
Oh oh.....
:D Good to see you!
Good to see you Big Sarge. Thanks for checking in. I like your new getup... is that local color?
He's in
Mufti. As a
Mufti.
Thanks for dropping by Al-Sarge. Hope 2013 is good to you.
Hi Sarge! Happy New Year!
So good to see you, Sarge! Keep on checking in, okay?
Hey Sarge, I've been looking for a table cloth like that. Where did you get it?
Sarge it's great to see you back.
Post more when you feel able.
All the best in 2013 x
Wishing you the very best in 2013, Sarge. Good to hear from you.
Me and my two month old granddaughter Morrighan, watching the game.
Guess it'll be awhile before she can fetch you beers, so it's a good thing she's cute. ;)
Awwwww, what a sweetipie!
(baby's quite cute too :P)
Ah Sarge your photo made me laugh so glad your sense of humor is intact!
'Spode your photo made me smile, so nice to see you again! :)
Morrighan thinks the game is REALLY INTENSE! How cute! Proud grandpa 'Spode.
Awwwww, what a sweetipie!
(baby's quite cute too :P)
bwaaahahahahah!!
Elspode, you are a beautiful family.
What is the plural/group name for you and yours anyhow.. nevermind the grammar, you (pl) look great.
Awwwww, what a sweetipie!
(baby's quite cute too :P)
DITTO! :D
Me today.
New hair colour, new glasses.
At school and in the snow (outside counselling where the lovely Seb always makes me feel like I am Wonder Woman)
Tail-end of a coldsore as you can see.
With the glasses I almost didn't recognize you! Love the new hair color -- lookin' good, Sundae!
...the lovely Seb always makes me feel like I am Wonder Woman ....
he's right
You are

looking great Cherry!
Love the specs.
Looooove how the hair color pops in the snow. You're actually making me pine for the days when I was a redhead. So cool.
Wow Cherry. You are looking radiant!
Sundae, you look really lovely. Hair colour looks fabulous.
And again, I have to observe that you appear to be ageing backwards...
I've always been envious of Sundae's smile; it is the prettiest. Please don't get offended, Sundae, but you look so thin!
Had my hair cut and styled today. The hairstylist took my pix so I can remember and try to re-style it myself later, hehe.
[ATTACH]42466[/ATTACH]
Ooooh...I like it! A lot!!! :)
I like the hairstyle, too!
Sundae---you look so great. I wish I had a bit of what you have so I could melt away like that---and I LOVE the glasses!
lola - wow. love the hair
sundae - those glasses, that hair. you are causing me some serious problems
OMG Lola, you are so so so pretty.
And bilingual.
And make cookies that people would pay a fortune for.
Accomplished lady who looks like a teenager.
Never let anyone put you down.
Thanks for the compliments people.
I am trying hard to be smiley these days and it is so good to get feedback like this.
And make cookies that people would pay a fortune for.
And yet, they are not fortune cookies...
Lola you are a heart breaker. If you keep posting photos of yourself I'll have to stop reading your threads just like I've had to stop visiting your food blog.
Yeah yeah yeah, that's what you say, but late at night with your laptop under the covers...
Jesus not again. I left my web cam on again? Shit. How do I turn it off?
Jeez, I thought that was a picture of the Royal Barge!
And yet, they are not fortune cookies...
Lola you are a heart breaker. If you keep posting photos of yourself I'll have to stop reading your threads just like I've had to stop visiting your food blog.
Okay, I'll stop posting pix then. Hmm....and I just bought that nice thong yesterday. Hihi....just joking. Sarge, you can calm down now. :P

Damn, I almost swallowed my tongue just then...
'I just bought that nice thong'. Now I can't get that visual outta my head, and I don't want to.;)
Don't you
dare stop posting pix!
Lola has a lisp, Grav. iTunes. She bought a SONG on iTunes.

you get our hopes up and then you crush them. sigh
note to lola. folding, ok, spindling, ok, mutilating, not ok. also crushing, not ok. hm?
I heard once that you should not dress all brown because you'll look like a teddy bear. You should not dress all in color cream because you'll look like all condom. Here's me, a human-size ribbed condom. Hahahahahahah......
[ATTACH]42529[/ATTACH]
Ralph would be so proud. ;)
Here's me, a human-size ribbed condom. Hahahahahahah......
[ATTACH]42529[/ATTACH]
I remember the ad "ribbed for her pleasure". Are you sending a message to a female dwellar? ;)
As always girl, you are cute as a button
You look good Lola!
I have a hooded sweater just like that but in red amd without the flag:)
I have a hooded sweater just like that but in red amd without the flag:)
that's unpatriotic!!!
Lola, you're such a bunny!
Those sunglasses make you look very secret-agent to me...
Agent Lola: Licence to Hop.
Ribs are going the wrong way.
I have a friend who dressed like that except his shirt said; Fallopian Swim Team
you are definitely cuter than he was :)
Ribs are going the wrong way.
Not if you get a little twist action going :o
ribs? pleats, actually. to allow the condom to exxxpand without bursting. that's my experience anyhow.
...a human-size ribbed condom.
Ya know, anything I can say right now would just sound creepy...
...but, I'm still gonna think about it!:rolleyes:
Hehe....y'all are so funny. I was being silly. Needed to do laundry and that's all I have left that's decent to wear at the moment.
Wait...
So, what you are saying is, if you'd waited one more day to do laundry, you would have taken a pic of yourself wearing something indecent?
Damn the luck.
Hang on Lola, Ralph Lauren is what you wear on Laundry Day?
Given my best days tend to be coutured by George at Asda, I feel humbled.
Looking pretty.
If a little like you've on parade.
Hehe....y'all are so funny. I was being silly. Needed to do laundry and that's all I have left that's decent to wear at the moment.
Aww c'mon Lola, you'd look great in nothing.
Is that a spaceship hovering above jim's head there to the right?
Sorry to say this Jimbo, but handsome as you are, I can't help but thinking you're channelling a bit of Spencer Pratt there.
He's been on Celebrity Bigh Brother for the last couple of weeks, so I've seen more of his phiz than I have ever done previously.
Still love you though.
I think that to channel some one, you'd have to have heard of them...
that's a picture spencer HELM took with his new A37 Sony DSLR.... the first thing he's ever saved up for and bought ($645!)
I was asked to pose and not smile. that's as NO Expression as I could manage with Ripley hanging off my arm making a retard face. ( the pic is cropped )
RE: jim's pic: I don't care! I love it!
thanks, bri! It's my favorite current picture of fat me.
Aww c'mon Lola, you'd look great in nothing.
Not yet, but I hope to get there in the near future. :D

Does it help if I say that I bought that sweater on sale, and it's at least 10 years old? :p Anyways I don't fit most of my clothes anymore. Laundry day comes often, sadly.
thanks, bri! It's my favorite current picture of fat me.
you don't look fat to me.
I think people are so hard on themselves. Love your Viking look.
I think that's a great picture of Jim. I so totally would.
:p
morning
If Tril and UT were actually looking at each other like that face to face, what would've happened next, d'ya think?
Coffee? Yeah.
Morning.

I woulda smooshed his face up and said, "Bubbalah, it's not that bad; have something to eat! You want I should fix you some eggs?"
I've just had my lunch ...
Hmm... eggs for lunch?
(Gaoooobllpt?)
[ATTACH]42624[/ATTACH]
You and Beans are a tough act to follow, Choco.
btw, you people from cool climate regions of the world really make me green with envy when I look at your beautiful skin. :)
Oh wow. Foots...you look like one of my favourite actors in that pic.
Jason Watkins. Has screen presence by the ton.
An afternoon snack? Don't mind if I do!
Wow, lookin' good, everybody! No, I am not going to post a pic of me RFN. Maybe in a few months ... but in the meantime, ^WHS^.
Hello everyone! Looking fabulous! :)
I want in ... best I can do on short notice.
I need a haircut. I'll wash and brush it tomorrow and show you all my best Barry Gibb imitation.
[ATTACH]42646[/ATTACH]
Y'know....there's just a teeny bit of a hint of House in that shot of you V.
Also: Classicman... looking good. Really good.
Yeah, Dani, I thought HOUSE, too! Very HOUSE! V, Get us a video with you saying, "It's not lupus," and we'll be all set.
Classic---if I'd've known you were so handsome I wouldn't have given you so much shit.
;)

I know right?
Hmmm...someone can turn me round and shrink me. :)
Now she's completely upside down, UT. Please remember to calibrate for hemisphere. :)
Ali, are you 24 or something?
Only in my mind foot. My actual age is 40. :/
That's a beautiful pic Ali.
Love the lipgloss.

;)
That's ok. I only wish my hair were as thick and glossy as that at the moment. :(
My lips get really dry, like the rest of my skin. I'm always slapping gloss or some kind of lip balm on. There are tubes and pots of it all over the place here, and in all my handbags, and my car...the list goes on. I even keep some at Dad's place just in case I forget (somehow) to take some with me! lol
You have lovely eyes, Ali!
Re: lipgloss -- I have never managed to finish a tube of lip gloss. I always lose them before they get that low.
Thanks Choco. :)
The key to not losing lip gloss is to have certain places to put it down. I have one on my bedside table. One (sometimes 2) on the liquor cabinet which is in the living area of the house. One or two in my main handbag and one in that little spot just in front of the gear stick in my car. My car doesn't have an ashtray, so it's in the little spot where the ashtray would normally/traditionally be. :)
Did you just get out of bed? lol. Love the smile!
Good lord. Must you torment us Lola?

This was Friday
You say $149/mo Rogues, plural, but the small print only mentions one particular VIN. Lies!
They let you talk this time!!
Go LJ!
Lola, you are absolutely beautiful. Happy New Year!
You're looking very pretty Lola.
Jim, you're looking handsomer than ever, hope you bring in the ladies for those rogues.
I still laugh at Knee-Son.
LJ, always my fave Viking. Come and pillage me?
MTP I missed your pic - very cute.
You remind me a bit of my cousin, Hannah.
How tall are you?
My only goal will be your Western shore.
[/swoon]
This pic is from Weds, but I posted about my wonderful furry cardigan recently.
So here is me in it,
Oh that's luvverly!
Lookin good hon :)
I can see why Diz thought it was cat hair. Looks comfy!
So here is me in it,
Um. Wow.
Its always good to see your lovely face Sundae.
Looks like a photo from the back of a novel, Sundae. Might as well go ahead and write one now.
Oh, lordy it really does!
Maybe that's all that was holding me back; want of a good cardigan!
Roll over Maurice Sendak.
What I really mean of course is thank you for the flattery.
If I say the comments surprise me I am neither fishing for compliments or denigrating the kindness of Dwellars. Which I have always depended on of course.
And the cat fur cardigan is a keeper.
Sundae always look good with a perfect smile. :thumb: Also, great looking sweater!
Jim, couldn't you have smiled? You looked good anyways. ;)
you look great and the sweater looks nice too!
There's your job interview outfit. ;)
a treasure, every one.
Moar---quite the pretty young lass.
Jim----I thought I was your Western Shore???? (I AM west of you but alas, no shores, really)
Lola, your inner beauty matches your outer beauty. Lovely comes to mind and I don't say Lovely the way the Brits do about every damn thing.
"Oh, you're vomiting? How Lovely!"
I kid, I kid!
;)
taking Mister Scout to a doggie park today where he will play with about six of my friends' dogs two of which are Great Danes though i don't see what is so great about them. Danes seem to be, well, rather downtrodden; although they say the Danes are some of the happiest people in the world and do you know why?
LOW EXPECTATIONS! it's true!
Jim----I thought I was your Western Shore???? (I AM west of you but alas, no shores, really)
I am your overlor....er...or....er....ord?
Only if peace and trust will win the day.
Mum and I coming back from Borough Market yesterday.
Sundae you are looking sooo good!
Stratford, home of the Olympics 2012. Spitting distance of Cherry for about four years.
Thanks hon!
Stay tuned for lots of market photos :)
Probably in the Aylesbury thread.
Actually I really like the chestnut hair. You look fantastic.
You really do! I hope you are feeling as good as you look :)
Looking awesome. I like the hair, too.
Your mom looks pretty too. Love the scarf.
Sundae: you look totes amazeballs, dahling:)
Yeah, I love the hair colour! Makes you look very sophisticated.
Agreed, the hair suits you. :thumb:
The other night at Morimoto's in Waikiki. My tan is starting to show!
Wow, she's a keeper. You, meh, not my style. :haha:
My word, Chris. I had no idea you were such a stud!
Mrs Chris looks good too, but as Bruce says - not my style. Pretty though.
BTW - no-one commented on my kickass boots.
Now they ARE amazeballs (D - where does that come from, been in my heid for a while now?)
Oh and the skirt is silk. £2.99 on eBay. Bet the seller was gutted.
Amazeballs boots from there too.
Having already given my size 20 jeans to the charity shop, and the size 18 looking like they're headed in the same direction, I really can't countenance new clothes, even if I had the money.
It's....no...it can't be...can it? Commander Riker!
Boots defo kickass.
Not sure where totes amazeballs comes from, but I got it from Jack Whitehall. Via Fresh Meat I think.
I may have amazeballs from the same place.
It's okay - I was worried I caught it off Russell Brand.
OMG - super-amazeballs - no wonder I fancied Chris!
Riker, YES!!!
Always had a massive crush on him.
Nail that in a minute.
[COLOR="White"]No of course I wouldn't as I respect the sanctity of marriage. Man is damned hot though.[/COLOR]
Chris, you both look so good in that pic. The sunshine must be good for you. :)
Sundae - You look marvelous. BTW if you like boots, you really need to consider the "Schuh" brand

Heh, I had drinks with Riker (Frakes) back in the day. Trust me, Chris is WAY more handsome...and I'm sure, much nicer!!
Sundae - You look marvelous. BTW if you like boots, you really need to consider the "Schuh" brand
Thanks honey.
We have Schuh here. Too expensive for me now. But I used to buy my Acupuncture shoes there [shakes head in amazement] the amount of people on the Tube who started to talk to me just because of my shoes! [/shakes head again]
Heh, I had drinks with Riker (Frakes) back in the day. Trust me, Chris is WAY more handsome...and I'm sure, much nicer!!
Damn - not a nice chap? Gutted.
Never meet your heroes.

RFN, via tapa talk
Funny that there was a blood type question a second ago in another thread.
Glatt, that can't be you. That guy's not smiling.
They're sucking the life blood out of him!
It's Robin of Loxley all over again. RUN Glatt, the prioress is wicked!
It's a quick way to lose weight. Lost a pound in about ten minutes.
Did you know the average office worker clicks their mouse 5000 times a day? And that adds up to 7 calories burned every single day? You can eat that extra baby carrot.
Did you know the average office worker clicks their mouse 5000 times a day? And that adds up to 7 calories burned every single day? You can eat that extra baby carrot.
Does that factor in the coloric expenditure of chewing the baby carrot?
Also, if you put calories into the baby carrot (as heat in cooking) do any of those calories carry over when you ingest the carrot? Of Course factoring in the reduced calorie expense from the softened carrot requiring less vigorous chewing.
(BTW, the above is a highly accurate depiction of me, RFN or actually RF Always. It can be exhausting inside my head. Be grateful I don't smoke dope and post, it's an order of magnitude more minutious, and less coherent with even more made-up words. Not to mention the neologisms. ;) )
I don't know. I'll have to ask 'the researchers.' Whoever they are. I heard it on the radio this morning.
I remember in HS reading you can actually lose weight chewing celery. I like celery, but it'd be way better if you could lose weight chewing, say, beef jerky.
Anyway, I'll trade you what's behind curtain number 1 in my head for what's behind door number 3 in your head.
I saw on the internet that if your beer is cold enough, you can lose weight drinking beer because it lowers your body temperature and the calories get burned heating you back up again. But then I later saw that the guys that did the math were counting a food calorie as 1 real calorie, when really, a food calorie is 1000 real calories. I can understand their confusion, but I bet that really took the wind out of their sails when it was explained to them.
note to glatt--do not flex left arm.
Oh man, if you could lose weight drinking beer I'd weigh about 2 pounds.
You can eat that extra baby carrot.
:eek:
Noooooooooo!
With a nice glass of Merlot.
:devil:
I wouldn't eat cutie-pie Carrot, even with a glass of Merlot.
Oh wait...i just got that! Merlot the dog, right? I'm slow.
Gonna go meet my friends' 6 week old german shepherd this weekend. I will steal him. ;)
Me, this morning in borrowed waterproofs!
Whiting Bay, Arran.
Then about 2 hours ago at the remains of Torrylinn Cairn at Kilmory.
I'll update that thread when I can.
Arran suits you!
That looks like a wonderful place, and you look like you're have a good time.
Wonderful! You look great Sundae, and look like you're having a good time.
Looking forward to the full write up!
Love the pics! Also looking forward to the write-up when you have time.
Here I am gussied up in my Blues. An interesting bit for the history buffs, the pants are a lighter color than the coat because back in the old days when we rode around on horse back the soldiers would take off their coats, roll them up and put them behind their saddle or in their saddle bag. Their pants would bleach in the sunlight. We honor our past history in many ways in the Army and this is a small one.
the women go crazy for a sharp dressed man...
Looking seriously sharp joe.
Nice Joe, and that bit of trivia was really interesting. :)
What was the occasion (DA photos were in class "A" s last I heard)? Dining in perhaps? Are those foreign wings I see (mine are French)? Are miniatures still optional on Blues? Inquiring minds want to know.

That is very cool. Lil'Griff liked that a lot.
Nice Joe, and that bit of trivia was really interesting. :)
I know, I saw the pants and my first thought was "Oops, someone put bleach in the color load."
Years ago I was working with an engineer who was up for PA Sergeant Major. He had a copy of the photograph he'd submitted, of him in his best bib & tucker, on his desk. I remember him fretting for three straight days that he'd missed something, a crooked medal, a loose thread, ribbon out of place, anything. :haha:
looking sharp msg!!! quite the rack of ribbons. extremely impressive. were you on the army's shooting team at one point? 18+ years of service?
Thanks guys. Just a regular ole Company inspection. Missed payday inspection so we did one last friday. Need to make sure the guys all have their uniforms straight. Those are Chilean Jump Wings Sexobon. I couldn't understand thing that Jump Master Said, I just did the right thing at the right time. The Army Service Uniform (ASU), what I am wearing in this pic, is replacing the Green Class A Uniform. The great big stripes that used to be on the Blue Uniform are gone. Lower enlisted guys wear the light blue trousers without a gold stripe. Miniatures are authorized, but as you know not for an inspection, just for wear with a bow tie at special events. I did have a gig that no one else caught, I am supposed to have one more service stripe, I went over 21 last July. And yes I did spend one season with the Army Rifle Team Big Sarge. You have a good eye.
Joe, I'm sure you're a first class solder, but man, you just don't look like a killer. Guess it's because you don't have your war face on. :haha:
Just kidding you, Sir, I know winning is about being smart, not fierce these days. Oh, and thanks for covering my ass for the last 21+ years.
I was gonna make a crack about Joe needing 22 years to cover some folk's asses, but I resemble that remark.
I'll be here all week, puns are half price during happy hour!
You represent us well, Joe.
wow, you don't look anything like what I had pictured you as fargon.
My husband would love your shirt! :D
I like that shirt too! Looking good.
Not sure. More cowboy looking or something. Shorter hair. Not glasses and a mo. Not sure why. Who can say how we come to build certain pictures of people in our minds. :)
but within the past 2 weeks sure.
Looks more like the 40's than now. :haha:
Pooka, you look like one of those hot pin up gals. What were you and Flint up to?
Pooka, you are one of those hot pin up gals.
FIFY
Beauty.
Alex, I'd like 'What were you and Flint up to?' for $500, please.
What is Role Play?
Man! I should log on more often... you guys (and gals) are fabulous for my ego!! You are all too kind. These really are RFN!
And enter Mike Hammer in 5... 4... 3...
And yes, you have a gorgeous pussy.
Now it's my turn to notice the decor... are you adding the bass half of the rhythm section ?
I got the P Bass aka "Helen" when my grams passed back in 2004. And the one I'm presenting... Ha ha is my new Ibanez that I traded in my 22 yr old Ibanez in for!
mega peep?
Nah, he's just a really teeny tiny Tom Thumb guy.
Thank you sweet Sundae! You are delectable yourself!
Well very nice, I hope you do offer Flint some bottom from time to time!

It was a little chilly, but really gorgeous out overall
[ATTACH]43581[/ATTACH]
good times:

You can tell Amanda that I love her shoes!
Oh, Jim.
You owe me £1.
I bet 50p on Blond Viking each way in the National. Because of you. He failed to place (in fact I think he may have pulled up at some point.)
Lovely pics.
It's never a wedding without a man with a black eye :)
I'd say you're a lucky man, based on looks alone. I mean she's a pretty lady.
But as I don't know her I have to say she's the lucky one because you're yummy and clever and funny. Try to remind her, daily.
Amanda's freind married JFK? Wow.
Seriously though: great pics. You all look awesome.
they're both really cool people. kind of perfect for each other...

Having your entire family die in a plane crash is a horrible thing to have happen on your wedding.
That is so tragic
Actually, his father did die not long ago. He was invoked during the ceremony and toasts. They played Elvis's I can't help falling in love just before Kristen appeared in the doorway of the lake house. When Keith saw her he nearly crumbled. I got a little misty myself.

It's late and I don't want to turn the lights on to wake M up just for the sake of a better picture...
Syc, if I said that image will haunt my dreams, you will get what I mean, right? Emphasis on haunt aka face at the window!
Me, park, sunshine, butch & black haircut.
Sundae, you look fantastic!
great teeth. you sure you're English?
My teeth are yellow, as anyone who has met me will attest.
When my Mum queried it with our dentist he said it was because I had strong teeth. No idea if that was true, but I am 40 and have had no teeth removed and no fillings.
I'd like to have them lightened. Not a Hollywood smile, but something that shows how healthy they really are.
But I've been bloody lucky with them, I admit.
And you haven't fallen down, breaking them, which is pretty good for someone who goes mountain climbing in sloppy shoes. :haha:
You got me.
If I named the cities/ countries/ locations in which I'd worn inappropriate footwear I'd sound like I was up my own arse.
Which would have been a safer place.
No limbs broken yet though.
And when I was hit on a zebra crossing I was in flats.
Can I add Glasgow in the ice wearing platform trainers to that list?
I on the other hand am always in appropriate footwear. Assuming that the appropriate footwear for any situation is stompy boots.

I love that hairdo Sundae. You look great. :)

Wow, the kids look so grown up...
Me RF last night on my way to the Grand Spring Ball. I know it looks like I've got paint in my hair, but that's just my Cruella DeVille streak :3eye:
Gosh, missed this.
Limes, you look like what you are - a beauty.
As gorgeous as Arran.
Mr Limes is a lucky man.
Well this was last night, but both pics were one-shot wonders, so it meets RFN requirements.
When my bro finally sends me the photos he took, I'll show pics of food and the rest of the family in another thread. I took my camera but the battery ran out. I am SO rubbish with cameras these days, I can hardly even meet my eyes in the mirror.
Anyway, the 'rents cashed in some Tesco (supermarket) vouchers because there was a very good deal on exchanging them for Prezzo (chain restaurant) vouchers. They've often treated Laura's family there, so it was our turn this time. Mum, Dad, Stevo & Erika (SIL) and me.
Here is me looking slightly manic.
I was honestly just grinning for the camera, but perhaps I need to grin less now I have a slightly narrower face.
Next pic is me & Mum at home, once I'd had a chance to recharge the battery slightly.
She is wearing my ex-jeans. I think they suit her.
gosh Sundae, I can't help but keep thinking how much you look like / remind me of Celia Imrie

Nopes, got both. They had both the Ninja and Chima booth at the Lego KidFest.
So you dragged your nephew along for an excuse. :haha:
That's what my brother accused us when we asked to take our nephew to the Lego Fest. :lol:
I went to Lego KidsFest yesterday with my nephew. It was so cool.

Wow, your nephew is
enormous!!!
I was noticing my reflection in the glass buildings on my lunchtime walk, so I tried to take some self portraits. So this is me, about 2 hours ago.

You are a very tall and or skinny guy. You should totally do an 'Alphabet Glatt"
That could be the Y, upside down.
I'm both tall and skinny, and for this picture, I was shooting from the hip with my phone

I just dug a bunch of expired evacuation kits out of a box at work. They were destined for the trash. So I brought them home for my son to use in his zombie apocalypse kit. He's one very excited boy. This is what the most recent smoke hoods look like.[ATTACH]44113[/ATTACH]
That costume really ages your son, huh? ;)
hahaha@clod! (and glatt)!
lola, you better eat something. You're getting way too thin girl! ;)
Ali: I'm not too thin yet. I have 10 days to lose another 1.6 lbs to be at my desired weight. :)

Goddamn, Lola Bunny.
You're in this amazing twilight zone in between cute and gorgeous.
And you are rocking that traditional gear. You're like a Quan Yin statue.
I'm home, safe and well.
Will update Cherry Goes to Hospital in the Liver & Cherry thread later.
Although it's mostly photos of food!
Me this morning, all ready to be discharged, and my puncture wound once the nurse removed the gauze and sent me on my way. The red mark lower down is a "spider vein", they made a tidy job of the actual transjugular procedure.
Wow! Such a small hole. I love modern medicine.
I hope the results come back good!
Damn Sundae, that's a tiny hole. You look cheery. Hope you are feeling great.
Goid to see you back and beaming, Cherry!

Don't deny your Buddha nature
Glatt I didn't tell you how fine you look in your walking photo. Well, I can't mention your SARs mask because we can't see you. Oh wait, that might even be your son. Case proved!
When I read Stephen King's The Gunslinger series I picture a man with your build.
And Tulip.
Well. I tell you all the time how gorgeous you are.
All I can hope is none of your family pinched you and commented on your "weight" recently.
Although I bet they ask why you're not married yet ;)
You're always beautiful, but you carry yourself so well and shine so brightly when you're happy, and if the reason is toming up then I guess I'm for it.
Go too far though, and the Cellar will stage an intervention.
And we know Marines.
Don't deny your Buddha nature
I'm not. Just saying I'm not nor can I be compared to a Great Bodhisattva. :p
Well it can be something to strive for. :p
Where is this? I need to know ... especially as I'll be spending September-October in DC/Arlington. Assuming this is somewhere close to Arlington, of course.
This is in Maryland. The Adventure Park at Sandy Springs school. It's absolutely amazing. SO MUCH FUN.
It gets crowded on the weekend so plan to arrive about 5 minutes before they open. You get 3.5 hours to climb after you arrive, but the first .5 is training and getting the gear.
Thank you! I googled this and will absolutely do it during my time in DC this fall. I did some ziplining two years ago while on vacation with my daughter, and it was SO much fun. This place looks great.
I posted this on FB, but this was the hardest segment I encountered today. You really wind up doing the splits here. This was on a mid level 'blue' trail. There are a lot of easier trails than this and still plenty fun. We did't try anything higher than blue.
[ATTACH]44177[/ATTACH]
My toes are now in permanent clench.
That looks like FUN !!!
Lamp , you have to trust your equipment !!!
Really looks like a blast!
Totally going to do this!!
One of the best parts of the vacation with my daughter was screaming down a huge zipline from a cliff overlooking a beach. Breathtaking. But the more intricate parts of the course in the dense part of the forest were also exhilarating, in a different way. I loved all of it.
Mem Day weekend w/J will leave me this ragged.
We had dinner yesterday with her entire extended family, 31 count, to celebrate her mom's 75th.
I was going to ask how much the bail was untill i read your comments , 31 ??? Dude WTF !!!?????
J's mom is the most beloved person, for having spread the most love amongst her 4 children, and every year at Christmas her double-wide is filled with people until there is no room left.
Glatt: That park looks super fun and exciting.
UT: Congrats on J's mom. 75 yrs. ...wow.
Had hubby take this picture so that my Mom could see the dress I bought for a wedding earlier this month. Figured I'd put it here.
Hi, owner of Pico! Nice to see you.
Edit: Moar, nice to see you too. I missed your pic somehow. How was you first day at work?
Lookin good Moar! Your little lass is looking cute as a button too :)
Pico: Lovely dress and you've got the figure to pull it off. You look ever so elegant. Really classy.
Thanks, Dana :blush:.
I actually just settled on that dress because it sorta fit. I'm short, but not super skinny...I have butt but no boob, so finding clothes that fit my figure is really difficult.
That dress and a box of crayons, would keep the kids busy for hours. ;)
I thought of a few naughty variations on that phrase.
But will instead settle for saying:
Pico you look like a star. Svelte and sophisticated.
I think the dress looks lovely on you Pico. Nice find.
I like your hair do too. :)
I just had my hair cut and coloured. I really needed it. Was feeling very dowdy and depressed about my skin and stuff, so it has helped perk me up a bit.

Ooh you sexy thing! It's a good thing you are in Australia, that's all I'm saying.
Lovely, Ali!

Ali, you look gorge.
I'm going shorter with each cut - maybe I'll go shorter yet in the hope I can look that cute.
The hair and color looks great, Ali. Of course, you look wonderful too. :D
I've always wanted a cute pixie cut like that, but can't pull it off since my hair is curly and frizzy. Looks good, Ali!
Thanks ladies (and gent). Means a lot. Xx
Eta: your kind words made me cry actually. Thank you.
You should cry, you trollop... the way you lead the men around like the pied piperous is shameful.
I love the highlights and lowlights, Ali! It looks so rich. You're beautiful.
I'm waiting for my hair to get long enough to be a little fluffy on top. Right now it's a sort of Julie Andrews cap cut look. And it didn't come in red ... but oh well. Maybe I'll rock a sort of Jamie Lee Curtis thing. I've never had hair this short, but I love it! So easy. There's no way to have a bad hair day, it just is. And I can put the window down in the car and not have it snarl into an unmanageable mess. You guys have it so good! :p:
You are all too kind. Not sure what Bruce is talking about though.
Ortho, you will get there. I once shaved my head. Going (being) ultra short is not so bad. At least you know it will grow back, unlike those who have to deal with going bald permanently. Xx
You are all too kind. Not sure what Bruce is talking about though.
He's talking about you being a taunting Vixen.
lol..it's a nice thought, but hardly the truth, and definitely not how I feel about myself lately. My self image is very low. Hence the hairdo. Next, I will stop eating chocolate.
Next, I will stop eating chocolate.
Have you gone completely mad? What is life without Chocolatl?
Yes, a woman should always have her chocolate. Well, at least once a month. :D
I have just been eating chocolate. They had a special on lindt blocks. Half price, and they have the best flavours such as, creme brulee and vanilla almond! Yes, I bought more than one block, but I'm hoping I forget about the others I haven't started and then I'll find them some time and it'll be a nice surprise.
Don't laugh. It happens all the time. lol
Lindt chocolate is yummy. I stopped by Godiva today and got a truffle. Yes, just ONE truffle. Don't want to gain weight again, just enough to keep me happy. :D Isn't it nice to find an unexpected good piece of chocolate? :)
I think all 3 of you ladies look marvelous!

Choc that really suits you!
Me, yesterday.
'nother one. Hoped I was in time to piggy-back the last one, but it was not to be.
Same location. Different clothes. Better styling on thinning hair and a golden snitch.
SNITCH.

She said SNITCH !!!!
Thanks, all! Was fun to finally take the plunge -- it's the shortest my hair has been since I was a baby :eek:
Sundae, looking lovely as ever. Love the necklace!

R-F-Friday at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, TX. The exhibit is called Wunderblock. Katharina Grosse.
Happy kids, Flintster, sculpture, all very excellent.
That is the perfect visual representation of how I imagine the Flint Family, with the sculpture standing in for Pooka.
Great stuff.
Gosh your girl looks like Pooka.
Lucky thing.
Gosh your girl looks like Pooka.

No kidding, huh? She's posing as a statue because we're at a sculpture museum, but the fact is, she really looks like a statue
because statues are modeled from idealized versions of perfect-looking humans. This, and she got a double-dose of freaky brain genes, too? Our main problem is that this kid doesn't turn out to be the history books' next infamous, world-conquering dictator. We've got to steer her to use her powers for good!
What a cool picture Flint. It tells such a interestingly happy story.

Ali, Choc and Sundae...BRAVO on your beautiful new doo's! One of these says I'm going to take the plunge too. Wash and wear all the way.
I've often thought about how cool it would be if you could have a copy of every picture a stranger ever took that had you in the background. You know there have to be lot of pictures of you out there that you have never seen. walking by the White House. At the overlook of the Grand Canyon. In a crowd at a concert. Etc.
Facebook just barely scratches the surface, but sometimes you'll find a picture of yourself, even when you aren't tagged.
This was me yesterday, chatting with a dad just outside of the shot after my son's promotion from elementary school to middle school.
[ATTACH]44402[/ATTACH]
There's another picture I saw taken at my daughter's promotion as she's off to high school. That one only shows my right foot.
Wouldn't it be cool though, to have a photo album of all the stranger's pictures that you appear in? Candids, every one.
Between long-lasting cement and silica chips to store jpg's,
don't you sometimes get the feeling we 'll soon run out of sand.
Someday, maybe soon, facial recognition technology will help you achieve this dream!
Yeah. I wonder if I'll be able to file a FOIA request to get a copy of all those government owned pictures? ;)
I saw a story once about a couple browsing through family albums for baby pictures to use at their wedding reception. In a picture of the bride as a little kid at Disney World, the groom suddenly spotted his father in the background pushing a stroller -- and himself riding it. A picture of the two of them about two decades before they actually met.
Glatt, I respect you for your choice of friends, and I'm sure they're wonderful on the inside.
Although it makes me wonder if you are prejudiced against people llike me, who are not.
Cause you're not wonderful on the inside?
Wtf
That wasn't intended as an emotional ref.
Just that I wear my medical illness on the inside.

You've got me really confused. What are you talking about?
She means how unfortunate that the main subjects of your photo have developed some sort of disease which cause tumors to grow on their face and head.
Ah, so.
I was just going to black out their faces, but then I wondered what the raindrop filter did. I kinda like it.
It's kind of freaky looking. :p anyways, I think you idea is cool, Glatt. Who knows what kind of funky expression you may have on when you don't know someone's looking.

Ok, gotcha.

So BigV is a bigot??
No, he's a big v.
Note to self: be more coherent.
Note to self: be a bit less daft.
:blush:
Note to Glatt: I think you should be the next Doctor.
I'd do it. That would be fun. I'd want them to film it in DC though. And I wouldn't want to become famous. Not sure how that would work.
I reckon if they filmed in DC with a Merkin Doctor you'd be safe.
Whovians would shun the series both home and away.
Come live in Aylesbury.
We can streak down the High Street and barely even get into The Bucks Herald.

But a streaking vid would make an excellent showreel.
Why not give us a premiere?

I'm used to it. :p there were lots of shades at the zoo, so it wasn't that bad. The sun was burning so hot that it was a good thing we had clothing covering our skin. While pedaling the pedal boat, the sun burned the exposed part of my feet.
Not of me, but where I am. Im ay the doc's office, looking out the window. That whole left side is a park. I've been to the zoo but never realized it's part of a big park. Really nice place with pretty scenery. People come to this park to take wedding pix too. It's usually where the water fountain is that is not captured from this view.

And today, simply because I found the wig when I was having a clear-out.
ETA, it wasn't until I uploaded the photo that I realised how much bra was on show.
I'm wearing a top which is about 3 sizes too large, because I'm in the house and have been doing housework.

It's my birthday on Monday BTW.
So enjoy photos of me at 40 while you can.
Lovely pictures (and you don't look a day over forty! ;))
The purple wig is hot! You sure don't look your age at all. You could easily pass for less than 30
Indeed Sundae, you don't look a day over 29 and 132/12ths
Went to Camden Lock with Mum yesterday as a post-birthday treat.

Liking the RFN, even if you changed the colour (bet you dried your hair though ;))
Buster - fine figure of a man as always.
Even if you do look like you're going to shout, "Git offa my laaaawn!"

I find it an interesting coincidence that the first person to comment on my picture is limey.
As for your picture limey, you look mahvelous, dahling, simply mahvelous!!
as for Sundae, you look nice and happy. Jack looks relaxed, as do the twins.
I like the green beard, V. But what about the rest of your hair? Go all the way. ;)
maybe.
I could be tempted.
but it's very very green, and I have a lot of hair right now. How would I style it? Anime style? The tempera paint I use dries hard. Like paint. I might be a danger to those around me.
I tried to upload a pic of me with the office staff at our '80s-themed hospital picnic today, but I have somehow forgotten how to do this. It's no loss - my hair is almost non-existent, not the most flattering photo. I guess I'll have to chalk my inadequacy up to chemo brain. And to having inadequate hair coverage (does that fall under the ADA? I should know).
Ask for help, I bet you are cute with short hair.
I don't know if this will work, but ... there should be pics of our office staff hamming it up at the '80s-themed hospital picnic yesterday (I'm the rabble-rouser in black); a pic of me with barely-there hair; and a pic of me with my removable hair. :p:
Short hair really suits you - those cheekbones, that jawline! Lovely!
Oh hell, you've got lots of hair. It looks like you have to short by choice because it's pretty thick and short suits you.
I agree, your super short hair looks super cute!
I love the short hair! Looks great!
Thank you. :blush: I guess I'll get used to it. It's definitely better than bald!
It came in a different color than before ... I used to be auburn and now it's light brown with, ahem, silver. The onco told me (after the fact) that everybody comes in gray ... so I guess I'm lucky to have some color. As long as it's hair, I don't care.
Oh Ortho I have to parrot everyone else and say that that just looks like you are participating in the Cellar trend of restyling your locks.
That really suits you.
I'm glad you're bouncing back in such a beautiful way.
You short hair is hot Ortho !!!
Jesus H, Ortho. Why'd ya have to rush out and get married? Patience is a virtue, not patients.

I'm surprised to see a pet shop with a puppy in it though.
Srsly, our pet shops don't sell anything larger than rabbits and haven't done for years.
This store usually doesn't sell puppies. They probably just got them. I've only been to Viet pet stores, and they don't usually sell puppies either.

No pix of me here, just want to show you the restaurant. We went to Rainforest Cafe to eat. It was really dark and the whole ceiling was decorated with trees and animals that move. There were several aquariums and occasionally the lights would flash with sounds of thunder. The food was just okay. Overall, I enjoyed the experience although I may not care to come back.

In fact, the Rainforest Cafe was the third and final location of SonofV's graduating class's "grad night" epic graduation road trip o'fun.
Actually, I think I may've enjoyed the restaurant's decor more than the kids. I asked my nephew if he liked the restaurant, he replied that he wasn't scared because he knew it was fake. He said the girls were scared. I was the only one twisting and turning to look at all the animals on the ceiling, exclaiming, "Oh, the butterfly is moving! There's a monkey hanging there! Oh, the trunk is moving! The cheetah's tail is swinging! etc...." You get the picture. :p:
Oh yeah, so there's this dessert called the brownie volcano. Basically, it's brownie a la mode. Two scoops of ice cream in the middle, covered by 3 sides of brownies, topped by another scoop of ice cream and whip cream, drizzled with fudge or caramel, all with a sparklers down the center. It looks quite nice in the dark setting. My nephew who likes volcanoes, loved it. He wanted us to order one, just because it's a "volcano." I was the only one with a sweet tooth, I told him no. Well, earlier, he told us to make brownie volcano. We looked up Rainforest Cafe's dessert and asked him if that's what he wanted. Yes, except he wants the "level 8" volcano. The one in the restaurant is only level 3. When I asked him if he'll eat all those ice cream and brownie if I make him the level 8 brownie volcano, he just stared at me. hahahhaha.....he doesnt like chocolates nor ice cream. :rolleyes:
he doesnt like chocolates nor ice cream
Get that boy to a doctor STAT! :eek:

UT, as ever I'd approach in you in a bar. If I thought it was sensible for me to be in one. And I'd think I had a chance because bass players sometimes feel like the éminence grise. Even when they not greasy. They tend to be stayers though (some famous exceptions), and often lyricists too.
Now LJ you know I love you and you always will... But where will the beardiness stop? It's on the cusp - although "knowing" you as a person makes a huge diference; but are we headed for ZZ-Top dimensions?

Were you dressed as a chicken?
Did he pluck you?

As for all you male Dwellar hotties ... keep bringing it! Such quality men here.

He started with my breasts and thighs and left me with a greasy box.
Oh that's brilliant.
You dirty bird.

@ 'Vana: lovely pic! You look great and oh that puppeh! I could eat him. Look at that fat little belly.
V - I envy your hair. I still look like a creature with the mange.
Nirvana - Wow! Talk about being a hottie
How about more male dwellers striking a pose? Do a UT. ;-) Come on, Sarge. :-)
I'm still too mangy and what has grown back is mainly white. When I get a little more hair, I'll dye it so I look more my age and post one
Sarge: It's whatever makes you feel comfortable. However, I don't think you need to dye your hair. A man with white hair can look sexy. ;)
That's the advantage men have ... they can have gray hair and be sexy; they can have white hair and be sexy; they can be bald and be sexy. Use that advantage, guys.
Why are you so down on women? In some I'd say it was a ploy to attract men by seeming weak and in need of protection/adoration, but you surely don't need that. You have how many degrees, have beaten cancer and are moving state for your job....

I believe it's true.

Having lived her married life under the thumb of a male chauvinist pig may have something to do with buying into the rhetoric, but probably mostly being a passive Canadian. :lol2:

I have no idea where this is coming from. Down on women because I think men can be sexy with gray, white, or no hair? Using a ploy to seem weak and in need of protection/adoration? Yes, you said 'in some'. You're accomplished at the direct, two-by-four to the head type of insult, but your subtlety needs work.
In my experience, women with gray, white, or no hair tend not to usually be seen as sexy by men; that the reverse isn't necessarily true is the 'advantage' I wrote about. I think women are far smarter in the whole male/female dance because we value a more complex set of attributes.

I think, what you think, is bullshit you've picked up from women, not from men. Not sexy, my ass.
Men get more rugged looking as they age. chicks dig that. Look at George Clooney.

Might be 'wrong of us' but it's true.
The ideal woman is young, smooth skinned and gravity defying. ... mainstream ideal, I mean.
Yeah yeah yeah, and the most popular flavor is vanilla but men sure buy a shitload of less boring flavors. The "ideal" is a stupid goal, you don't have to look anything like the "ideal" to be attractive to men, to be sexy. Just smell good and smile. ;)
...Just smell good and smile. ;)
And buy things, you left out buying things.
It's sometimes difficult to remember that when you're surrounded by constant media messages to the contrary.
Older man on tv? No worries. Older woman on tv? Message boards light up with complaints about wrinkles and ugliness on the screen.
Past a certain age women become culturally invisible.
I wish something large, and very heavy would fall on that little fella.
Twice.
This here board is one of the few places I've found online that has anything like a healthy view of aging.
I was hanging about the Big Brother forums recently, because I was into Big Brother this year. The Celeb BB had a woman on, in her fifties, who hasnt had any plastic surgery and who looks a little weathered for her age. Kickass figure but lines on her face.
Some of the stuff people were posting was just depressing. It's like they felt personally affronted by the presence of a female face with lines on their television screen.
And the abuse the classics professor Mary Beard came in for after her tv show was aired was just surreal. People posting in the review comments that she made them feel physically ill and they shouldn't have such an ugly woman on tv.
This is Mary, she's 58 and an eminent scholar (Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, a fellow of Newnham College, and Royal Academy of Arts professor of ancient literature).
This is David Starkey, aged 68, who also presents history programmes on TV. He comes in for a lot of stick for his analysis and occasionally provocative statements...people don't generally complain about how he looks, or suggest that his physical appearance is an affront to the viewing public.
Having been every weight from 8 stone 10 (121lb) to 18 stone 10 (262lb) I can assure you that fat women are invisible.
IN GENERAL men do not start conversations with fat women.
All the women with shown with short hair/ bald/ grey are thin and beautiful.
That's why I turned to the internet and felt I found friends who were more interested in what I had to say than how I looked.
That said, I'm still colouring my hair and breaking in my ankle breaking shoes :)
I don't think I hate other women, just myself.
ETA - s'true Dana.
Double standards exist in many ways. Too boring to go into.
But to deny that older women are often treated differently is definitely one of them.
Some of the stuff people were posting was just depressing.
"People," or "boys?"
I'll readily agree that many young men are abusive towards the very concept of older women. But of course David Starkey doesn't get shit on for his looks--if the boys shit on him, the implication would be that they're gay. It's still a problem, no doubt... I'm just saying that it's a little disingenuous to say society has this problem when in fact it is one specific segment of society. (Do young women occasionally shit on older women? Sometimes, but in my opinion that's only attempting to play towards those younger men whose attention they crave. If the younger men respected the older women, the young women would too.)
I know the situation.
Male and female. And the women were often worse. Sigh.
Young women.
The Big Brother forum? I'd venture to say that your IQ pulled the average way up on that forum, Dana.
Anyhoo. Too long from a a pic from me.
Tired? Yup, off to bed.
Shiny?? Yup, facial wipes beforehand.
FTR I've watched BB very year since it's inception.
So there :p:
You look fab Sundae!
Now where is the stereotype thread? I need to get my dumb, blonde, big boobed, body over there while I let you all figure out which one is not true.... ;)
Not true? That's easy, "dumb".
Looking great Sundae! You always give me a kick start.

We just want you to pose in a certain way. With your clothes on.
Because we're Good Girls.
Of course anyone who got the PM about anything else, well it's just because you're hot.

The sky this morning. The weather forecast says partly cloudy. Hmmmmmm....... This is supposed to be in " what's your weather rfn" but I am too lazy to look for the thread.
And for those who'd cry out, "you're in the wrong thread, you lazy bum!" I took a snapshot of myself. Took me less time flipping the camera around than go searching for a thread.
[ATTACH]45592[/ATTACH]
That's a nasty looking sky, you might have to give that sky a big smile if it continues to harass you.
Surprisingly, by noon the sky cleared and the rest of the afternoon was clear and beautiful.
So you did smile at those mean clouds. ;)
Hihi....I did. I was happy just to be outside and jogging and mainly by myself. The weather was chillier than normal, so the older women weren't out yet. :)
That's a pose I can copy this AM.
How it that you look about 20 on that pic Clod?
Seriously, you look like one of my students.
You do look extremely young, Clod. I'm here scratching my head trying to remember how old Clod is. You sure do look in the 20's there.
I agree Clod looks like a college student, but so does Lola
Do we carry on with the same pose tomorrow? Or does Terrible Tuesday differ from Hump Day?
(I'm exempt until I get a new phone, but will dutifully post something rfn in the future. :p: )
I agree Clod looks like a college student, but so does Lola
You're a sweetheart, Sarge. :hug:
I'm stretching my face with my hand, plus it's a crappy phone camera that adds a "Glamour Shots" blur. Also, the weak chin adds a natural nuance of immaturity, not to mention the facial structure so narrow I have to wear children's glasses.
But probably the clean living doesn't hurt either. When I was in my twenties, people thought I was in my thirties.
OMG - no way you have 4 kids. I love that saucy look, but I won't say anymore since I don't want your husband to track me down. Smokin'
Blimey ortho you look gorge.
No caveat, just a fine looking lady.
Heh, heheh, hump day...
[Size=1]Ahem, those are the glasses I was talking about.[/Size]:heart-on:
Excellent picture Ortho!
You're not looking sleep deprived at all.
O Christ, Ortho.
My blood pressure.
You're not looking sleep deprived at all.
It'll catch up with me - just in time for the long weekend, most likely. I'll be napping instead of hiking. :(
You look a lot like one of my aunties when she was young. Hotness.
Thanks guys ... :blush:
After the past year's assault on, well, everything, it feels so good to get to a better place. And I'm having fun with my new hair, which is thick and fairly curly - totally different from before. Not red anymore :sniff: but at least it's not completely gray (which is apparently pretty usual after chemo - even for women in their 20s). I love being able to finger-comb it and walk out the door. Think I'll keep it.
Me being all sleepy-bo.
If I had any skilz I'd sort out that red raw eye, but as I don't at least you know you got me raw.
So love that colour hair Sundae. Meant to mention last time you posted. Really suits you.
Thanks hon.
Relish it - I'll be a different colour by the time I see you in Jan next year (we REALLY need to make plans!)
I don't necessary intend to be, as I'm pleased with it.
But I know me.
2.5 months?
Major hair changes.
Yay! For RFN! You all look fabulous! I love this thread :)
Boring hair again, but am waiting for payday and then haircut and then will sort out.
As promised, a shot in my uniform. Approx 06.15 and reporting for duty on Deli.
The blurring at the bottom I'm pretty sure was the camera misting up from the heat of my hand. I'd just walked in and although it was rainy (torrential when I left work at 10.15) it was warm. I'm over my cold snap now - I think my body is conditioned to the toclafane just as I'm about to start hitting it with adipose. N'er mind. All making me betterer.
I like your hair that colour. Makes your complexion look nice. Cute uniform. :)
I like the picture and the hair color too. :)
Your looking perky, Sundae.
I made two t-stools for my active kids last night. So rflast night with kitteh. I'd buy cheese from that girl.
What's a t-stool for? Just keep them active with balancing during meals? Is that going to scar those nice Grifftopian floors?
Your looking perky, Sundae.
Holy crap. Who's supposed to be proofing this stuff?
Oh. Right.
Oh, wait. This of for "your kids" at school, isn't it?
Yeah, its a little experiment in attending at school.
Any bets on how many times the kid will fall on the floor before he finally cottons on? I'mma say 11.
Griff, those pegged plank floors ... I dream of those floors!!
Nice kitteh, too. Although she looks like she's on her way somewhere.

Both kids are physically competent, but I'm putting shorter posts on tomorrow to help them out. If they want to stay upright both can. The guy on the spectrum would prefer to lay on it but did increase his circle-time today. The unlabeled adhd/ed looking fellow seemed to like it but I want to be sure he won't turn it into a cudgel.

Thanks, I spent a lot of time on the floors. The cat belongs to daughter 1 and the boyfriend so she is supposed to be a temporary boarder. We'll see how that plays out.
hey sundae - looking mighty cute in that uniform
If they want to stay upright both can.
It's always the "wanting to" part, isn't it? :) That's cool that it worked! We got Minifob a stool for his desk so he couldn't slump and flop around during doing homework, but we might upgrade to a Griff Special if they keep assigning writing tasks instead of letting him just do math all the time.
Goofing around with a fake beard my Frau made for the boy.
Glatt, you make one helluva mountain man! :p:
Kind of a Karl Marx thing going there glatt. It looks damn good though, you ever go full on beard?

MmmmmmHmmmmmmm.

Sorry, UT. That's irritating. Hope it clears up quickly.
I'm a little bored, playing with my phone, while donating a pint of blood at work.
[ATTACH]45967[/ATTACH]
Doc confirmed I probably coughed it from my nose/ears/throat into my eyes. Still have swelling in ears and throat.
Sorry Toad, pink eye sucks. Did they give you the antibiotic drops, or tell you to just wait it out?
Doc did set me up with eye drops. Expensive ones! Not sure if they're antibiotic, I think they're steroidal? Doc said it would go away on its own, but this would shorten the wait by maybe half.
To review this illness, it's not that bad. I can't really do much, and it does cut into my online time because sometimes my vision gets a little blurry. Sometimes my eyes are itchy and sometimes a little painful.
But that's nothing compared to flu or something that puts you in bed and all nauseous and achy. The worst part of this is that it sidelines me.
Overnight it crusts over my eyes and I have to de-crust with a hot washcloth. I like that part.
I like that part.
The simple pleasures.

whatcha droppin'?
Says here it's Moxeza.
Fairly strong antibiotic geared toward staph.
Wash
everything you touch with your hands. And stop picking your nose and sticking it in your eye.;):D
Most pink eye starts out viral, but it's easy to get a secondary bacterial infection; hence the antibiotic drops. If there's heavy crusting after sleep, chances are there are bacteria around.
Wash, wash, wash your hands; don't touch your face; bleach every surface that can take it.
Minifob's had pink eye three times since school started. I've known several other adults with it this season as well. All hail our new Staph overlords.
No kidding. The resistant bugs will surprise and overcome us in the next 30 years. You heard it here first. Now go have a drink and WASH YOUR HANDS, dammit.
Yeah, its not as glamorous as nuclear Armageddon but much more likely. Feel free to stay in your crowded urban environments. I'll quit my job and hole up like Saddam.

Off to my first single sex wedding.
you look like Lyle Lovette , with out the messy hair
He does look like Lyle Lovette!
I went to a wedding once, and this woman there absolutely loved Lyle Lovett. She kept talking to me and even asked me to dance. And my wife was like: "oh, go on. Dance with her."
I went to check my suit out for this wedding and found that it was moth eaten. Damnit. So I picked up that jacket at a thrift store for 9.99. It pretty much fit, and dry cleaning it was only a few bucks.
Hi Ali! Glatt you are a man after my own heart! :) I love thrift store stuff!
20F degrees here going down to 13? BRRRRRRRRRR first time I got to wear my new coveralls > Yep I am 'bringin' sexy back!' ;)

Lola you are cute as a bunny :)
wow lola bunny, you are smoking hot.
nirvana - you look cute in your warm clothes. when it warms up, you need to post more in something that show off your curves (please, pretty please)
Nirvana, I love your coveralls. I have coveralls envy.
I picked up a pair of coveralls at the same thrift store where I got the jacket for the wedding, and I like them, but they aren't insulated. And they have some other guy's name on them and identify me as working for a local apartment building. The coveralls cost more than the fancy suit jacket. True story.
I wear overalls just about every day with an old military jacket. y'all are looking dapper in your coveralls

Modern dentistry is amazing. I can hear the milling machine in the other room making my replacement filling. The 20 year old one had cracked slightly. The new one is milled from a block of ceramic.
Hmm. Modern dentistry is expensive. $400 for that fancy filling. I think the old mercury ones would have been cheaper. He didn't even give me the option, but I also didn't ask. He's a good guy and I bet he would have given me a mercury filling if I had asked for one.
At least my dental insurance will pick up the lion's share of that $400. They say they pay 90% of filling work, but I think that's based on some approved rate they think a filling should cost, and I bet a downtown DC dentist charges more than their approved rate. We'll see. I predict they will reimburse me in the neighborhood of $275.

Modern dentistry is wonderful! I owe having teeth to it: with all the crap that's happened to my teeth it's a miracle.
But money money money, for sure. My 500 dollar (with insurance) night guard cost me 150 (without insurance) and it's the best investment. It fits on my bottom teeth and keeps my mouth aligned and keeps my teeth apart. Really helps with the bruxism. I can't sleep without it now. I don't want to break my newest caps. I'm hoping they last the rest of my life. *knock on porcelain*

I had a crown made from amalgam after a tooth broke during my last deployment. it worked great until I got home and had a porcelain crown put on. now it keeps breaking and I have had it replaced 3 times. currently it is just a broken stub
I am so happy that my dentist is a great friend who barters with me for phenomenal dental care.
They are very quietly getting the mercury out of everyone's mouth.

I'm not so sure. I understand most won't touch that stuff anymore, it's all white. But also, if you had the filling made and popped in, that's an inlay. Same principal as a crown except on the inside. Those are used when the hole is too big for a traditional filling. At least that's what I was told. I wonder if any regular posters are actually dentists who just don't want to admit it? Maybe we could summons Undertoad's Bluebell guy and ask him? :lol: (Inlays are also billed differently. Good luck)

I just read the receipt. "Comp resin,3 surf,post"
I don't know what that means, but he kept calling it a filling.
I'm checking out a new camping spot. It seems pretty nice. I'm also showing a pic of myself for the first time in quite awhile. You can see my hair is almost gone and what's left is gray or white. Anyway, it's a great spot that will keep me warm & dry

I believe that's
composite resin (as opposed to mercury--Griff and monster are right, most dentists simply refuse to do them anymore because the studies are starting to show there are long-term health effects of having a deadly poison in your mouth,)
three surfaces (top and two sides, it looks like from your picture,)
posterior tooth (as in, a molar.)
Hi Sarge! Looks like a cool location.
Hi Sarge! You're as cool and good-looking a panda as ever. Never mind the hair color - pandas have a lot of white. It comes with experience and wisdom.

Hi Sarge! Looks like a cool location.
Yeah, nice man!
After I have Thanksgiving on Friday with my father & kids, I'm headed out to try it overnight. I think a fire will keep me plenty warm. I think the rocks will take some getting use to. At least I have a good sleeping bag pad (insulated)
A pad will keep you warm on those cold rocks, and you should be able to find a nice dry spot somewhere under that nice overhang. But with all that thick green moss on some of the rocks, you can see that water likes to trickle through some of the area. Some spots should be dry though.

Minifobette inherited her teeth from infinite monkey. She'd had 4 cavities by the time she was 3. We got all of them sealed, not just the molars but the front ones too. We'll have to seal them all again when the permanent ones come in, bur it was still cheaper (and less traumatic) in the long run than repeatedly filling so many cavities.
They invented the sealant stuff after I had already gotten cavities in 4 of my molars. After that, I got the healthy ones sealed, and I never got cavities in those. Sealing works.

The upside is, when a kid goes through a lot of dental work early on, by the time they're older they don't think anything of it. Novacaine? pffffft...just drill it!
I hope nipping it in the bud works for minifobette. I think I've said, I fell on the playground in 2nd grade and it created a lifetime of procedures and appliances. You're giving her a great gift by doing what you can as early as you can. Barring accidents, you are saving her troubles later. Extensive dentistry IS tough on a kid.
you guys should form a club, but just a baby one...

Hey, thanks for the shirt, buster!
It says, "How much tequila did I drink last night" on the back.

I think I just snorted out a whole colony of cells.
Christmas party!
I figure this might be the only other use I get out of the col sanders costume
My what a long.....hat you have.
Looks like you're also doing a "hemi-Frankenstein" with that one electrode sticking out of your neck.
Great look, stick with it.

That's a dalek sneaking up behind him. They love a bit of fried chicken.
It
is a good look for you Jim.
Then again I'm biased enough to think everything is a good look for you!
Also:you look like you've lost a bit of weight Jim?
Hey, isn't that your colonel sanders suit???
Didn't you read the caption, ali?
Dana, if anything I've gained. The suit just has huge shoulders

Dad found Mum's camera.
So we have a rcord of Christmas Day and I can go back to taking photos of just about everything.
So who is that good lookin' skinny chick he took a picture of?
Bought that dress this Summer. I think.
Or maybe last Summer.
Skinny enough to wear it now.
I think.
Dad found Mum's camera.
Yay! Great to see you.
Holy shit, Sundae. You look great!
Wow!

Sundae: Please don't take this the wrong way, but "You look almost too skinny!" :p: Very sexy, lady! Nice dress too. ;)
Sundae, you look gorgeous. You remind me a little of Cyndi Lauper in that shot.
Holy crap ... from one that hasn't "seen" you in awhile OMFG! you lost a TON of weight. I almost agree with Lola...
Too skinny for me, but look'in GOOD!!!
(Heads up, from someone who has also been accused of being "too skinny" before: that is as offensive as telling someone to their face that they are too fat. Sundae looks good. Period.)
Too skinny for me, but look'in GOOD!!!
I'm sorry Cherry.
It's okay, none of the comments have alarmed or offended me.
I know it's the way I posed myself and the light. My arms are the only part which can really be seen and they look thinner than they are IRL.
Trust me, I have plenty of flesh on my bones and significant fat on some.
I am only hovering on the borderline between Healthy and Overweight according to my BMI. You'll see far more accuate photos from the GTG.
But thanks, Clod. I grew up skinny and hated it being mentioned.
(I never understood why it was bullying to call Joel or Tammy fat, but no-one thought twice about laughing at my chicken legs or Lou's AA-cups.)
Lou had AA cups? They tasted bigger than that!
Didn't you read the caption, ali?

Hmmm...clearly not. lol I only come here for the pictures. ;)
Sundae, you just look so different. Like a whole new person. Personally I don't think you're too thin, but then, I never thought you were too fat either.
The whole fat thin thing is just really fucking annoying. You are what you are. Your body is just a vessel for the soul or some such shit. It's not who you are. Yeah, lose or gain weight to be healthy if you can, but please people, stop freaking worrying about it.
I went to a friend's wedding on Tuesday. Thought I'd share a picture.
The groom saw you and said, "I've made a huge mistake!":o
Obviously not RFN, as this was taken in Limey's bathroom and I am now back at home.
But it was in the RFN style, and the last photo of me on Arran.
Don't cry, there will be lots more in the GTG thread. I am on a steep technology learning curve at present; more of which laters.
Sundae, you look positively amazing!
As I am pretty sure I created the original version of this thread sometime back, I choose to flex the "RFN" factor to "RFSometimeRelativelyRecently". This is me, RFNYE.
Looks like you had a blast. :-)
Sundae: wonderful smile as usual. I like your hair too.
Looks like you had a blast. :-)
Yes. And that's a great hat Mr. O'Elspode.
Elspode! Great to see you. Happy new year. I hope 2014 treats you well.
Sundae, you look positively amazing!
Doesn't she? Sundae does proper girly, really well.
That hair colour by the way is even lovelier in person.
And you're looking pretty groovy yourself, Els. 21st Century leprechaun warlock.

Looking good Sundae Girl! Like the purple hair, love the purple heart.
Thanks, Dwellars. We just stayed at home and acted quite silly. It was a good time, and no one died or went to jail.
Right fucking 8 degrees when I left for work. At least it's sunny.
Man. Normally Metro is pretty good.
I posted that picture when I got to the subway station, and I should have been at work 15 minutes later. Took an extra 45 minutes because of three separate issues with trains in front of me.
One was a "sick customer." Some sort of medical emergency. So that's probably not Metro's fault, unless it was someone fainting from waiting too long for the two broken down trains on a packed platform while all bundled up and overheating. I'd guess there's a 25% chance the "sick customer" was actually Metro's fault too.
It's snowy, 8 degrees, and the metro manages to move you from where you are to where you want to be, while keeping you from being killed by weather, wolves, or motorists.
But are you grateful for this salvation?
noOOooooo!
:lol2:

Well, which was it?

Hey glatt, be thankful you don't take
London's Victoria line.
They, I presume accidently, dumped a shitload of quick setting concrete in the signaling equipment room, where they have all the relays and switches.

Sugar was poured onto the fast-setting concrete which brought a London Underground line to a standstill as contractors desperately tried to minimise the effects of the blunder, it has been reported.
The section of the Victoria Line from Warren Street to Brixton was closed after the leak damaged a signal control room at Victoria Station, causing misery to thousands of rush hour commuters.
Transport for London said the line was reopened after engineers worked "tirelessly" through the night to repair the damaged signalling equipment.
However, it has emerged that as soon as engineers realised what had happened, workers were sent to nearby supermarkets to buy bags of sugar to stop the cement from setting.
A source told the Evening Standard: “When they realised what had happened they went out and bought bags of sugar and threw it on because that stops concrete from setting as quickly.”
The embarrassing mishap occurred when engineers, who are working on a long-term upgrade of the station, poured concrete into voids in excavations for a new escalator control room when it seeped through to the control room below, the newspaper reported.
“The signalling room sits between the north and southbound tracks and it’s the main box controlling trains for the entire southern half of the line. They were pumping in concrete for an escalator tunnel down to the new platform and there must have been a crack or a hole,” the source said.
He added: “The only word for it is a f***-up of major proportions. Everyone was effing and blinding when they realised what had happened.”
Despite fears the line could have been crippled for a number of days, it was back to normal the following morning.
Apologising for the blunder, Peter McNaught, operations director for the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines, said: "Our engineers have worked tirelessly through the night and have successfully repaired the damaged signalling equipment.”
There is a prank in this sugar/concrete deal.
