Now then... Flint, Ken, Future Shock, Bingo 1, Stephen, al-d, LL, Old Git, Diane (grin), etc, etc, etc,... how 'bout it guys? Put up your pics.

(Note: Those were some fine lookin' folks on the other thread. I know some of the ladies are married or have "significant other's", but I'm not sure of Debra's situation. So... Uh, Debra. I realize this is rather sudden, and I realize we barely know each other but,... Will you marry me?)

jeez CD, you're easy! LOL

nice photos, by the way. =o)

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 20, 2000.


Great pic, CD. I'm beginning to wonder why we're not getting better responses from folks on these pictures. It's not like I didn't already demonstrate that one needn't look their "best" to be included. In fact, I'm considering starting another album more in line with "funniest home pictures."

Bora-Bora...I wonder if that's the island where a co-worker went. I know it was an "aim to please" island because she told me she "fell in sex" with someone while there. It was her intent to return every year for the rest of her life to "fall in sex" again...and again. She was a raucous, downright raunchy woman by U.S. standards, but an island MON lifted her skirt and she never forgot it.

How did we get so many beautiful people here? I am working on getting mine posted-Have to find one, first. I know I have a bunch from seattle filmworks on a CD-have to find the cd.

-- FutureShock (gray@matter.think), May 20, 2000.

cin- Guilty as charged ;)

Anita- LOL. Sounds like your rowdy friend needs to go to "HedonismII" in Jamaica mon. Bora Bora is an island of Tahiti (in the same way Maui is an island of Hawaii). The perfect island in my opinion. Author James Michener called it "the most beautiful island in the world". The natives are the most genuinely friendly people I've ever met. If they take a "liking" to you, they will sometimes give you a "gift" for no apparent reason. On one occasion, we stopped at a little roadside souvenir/refreshment stand to get something to drink. After chatting with the owner for a short time, she reached into a display shelf and simply gave us a very nice shell which had been for sale. It is also their custom that if anyone gives them a gift, they in turn, give a gift to that person. Not realizing this custom, I handed out a number of little cheapo trinket lapel pins which I had brought with me from the company I was working for at the time. Little did I know this would result in my being flooded with shells, coconut carvings, etc, from those who were following "their custom". Best vacation I ever had. If you ever get a chance to go, jump on it.

-- CD (costavike@hotmail.com), May 20, 2000.


I have a link to a photo I am ready to e-mail to anyone who has a real e-mail addy and would like to help me out in posting it. Let me know.

Email addy is real, FutureShock. I 'd be glad to help ya.

Cin,

What a woman! I am thunderstruck by your thunderthighs. They won't make me hurl, they will make me curl (my toes). When can we meet?!

-- (nemesis@awol.com), May 20, 2000.


cin, I almost fell out of the chair, I was laughing so hard. You are one sick puppy (that's a good thing, BTW).

CD, great picture. I don't know what it is, but that's about what I thought you'd look like.

Uh, yeah, guys. I'm working on one.....Patience, Grasshoppers.

Gotta tell ya, this is one fun group of people. I hope you all really do come to LV in the fall. It would be a blast.

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 20, 2000.


CD:

I'm quite sure she went to Bora-Bora. I'm aware of the location. The MON thing came from an experience my oldest daughter had on Caye Caulker. An island boy approached her and asked if she had a boyfriend. She said, "Yes." He said, "But you haven't had an island MON." To make a long story short, one thing led to another and the next thing I knew my daughter was off in a go-cart with this guy. My son went along, so I wasn't worried.

Meanwhile [back at the ranch], another island boy started filling my head with how SOME island boys take young girls to the airstrip where they rape them. What to do...what to do? Should I worry.....should I NOT worry? I asked the bartender, who said, "Dere iss no crime on dis island. Dat boy he likes to start trouble." She was right. The island MON returned both my kids after a tour.

You might enjoy Caye Caulker yourself, CD. The Rastafarian influence is quite prevalent. There was one Rastafarian who sat aside a beached rowboat near the front of our cabin. When I came out he would say, "Your mate...he go dat way. Your children dey go dat way." We ran into the same guy one night after an island party that was the party to end all parties. All of us were on the sand dancing that night. My son didn't want to, but those Brits in the picture I posted didn't want him to just sit. [They'd been dancing with an island dog before they chose my son. No reference to an unattractive person there...they were dancing with a canine.] Anyway, when we met our Rasta he was on a golf-cart holding a joint the size of a cigar asking if we had a light.

Hedonism [IMO] is a tourist trap for Americans who lead repressed lives. This woman [not a friend] couldn't score there any more than she could score in the U.S. I've been to Jamaica twice with SO, and it's not a place I would have taken the kids. We were on a snorkeling vacation that started at the northern edge of the Yuccatan peninsula [on the island of women] and worked its way down to Caye Caulker. The Brits were on R&R from the military. They were stationed at the border of Belize to ensure that Guatemala didn't exceed its bounds. They were lots of fun and taught the kids to snorkel-dive.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 20, 2000.


Be nice you guys. That really is cin. She told us that she was umm, overweight and homely a month ago.

CD, eat your heart out. Debra is married.

-- (Reporting @ the.facts), May 20, 2000.


Great stories, Anita. I have been to Caye Caulker BTW. Pretty tiny island, but definitely nice. I had a $5 lobster 'n eggs breakfast while I was there. I stayed across the "chanell" from you on Ambergris Caye, just off the coast of Belize. Hope you took a boat ride to "Hol Chan" marine reserve while you were there. Great snorkeling spot.

We must have been following each other... I also did Jamaica. Stayed at the "Sandals" resorts in both Negril [adjacent to "HedonismII"] and Dunnes River. (I would never recommend Jamaica to anyone. Beautiful country but too poverty-ridden to feel either comfortable or safe in.) "Irie" mon.

-- CD (costavike@hotmail.com), May 20, 2000.



Cin, you are indeed a SCREAM....LMAO..

CD: are you at CAPN's house again...

BTW, do you like to sandwrestle?

Kritter,

you better have the baseball bat ready for those boyz when they come a courting your pretty little girl. 4 Real.

See its easier being a mother of boys, eh, sometimes..smile.

Nice family.

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), May 20, 2000.


CD,

I can't write what I'm thinking 'cause I'm a married woman ;)

Cin,

You have a *FANTASTIC* sense of humor...

Kritter,

I've seen your picture......Steely Dan tune...remember?

You'll see mine soon!

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 20, 2000.


Peg, I remember that!

An apology is in order ; )

-- x (x@x.x), May 20, 2000.


Whoa, I'd forgotten how horribly wicked those people were. {shudder} =o\

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 20, 2000.

Geez X...how did you find that so quickly?...

LOL...sure brings back memories (cringe)!

Cin,

You stuck up for me and didn't even know me...Thanks for that!

Kritter,

I was kidding you, 'cause you posted the song...it made me laugh :)

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 20, 2000.


Yep, Peg, remembered instantly..I was suprised YOU remembered that was me..! I love that song. I'm still jealous!

Consumer, my daughter is a few years old now than in that picture. She is 7 and plays softball..and is quite the slugger..so your right about someone having a bat to beat off the boys..but it's HER! She's also is signed up to play Pop Warner Football come August..and will be the only girl on her team (though not in the league, thankfully). I respect that she stood fast to her decision to play, despite my listing all the wonderul virtues of being a cheerleader instead.

In the family photo, my sister-in-law Mayumi is from Tokyo. She taught me some Japanese. Then I got a tape out of the library, and taught myself some more. She's the only person I know who I can speak it to though..so I'm always calling her to exchange pleasantries and discuss the weather in Japanese. :-)

Kritter:

Is that YOUR baby picture? Great pics.

I didn't find girls hard, Consumer, but my brother did, and it was his OWN doing, not his girls'. Then again, he has glamour girls and I have the girls who spent their youth playing baseball, soccer, etc. I climbed trees as a youth, myself. I felt [still do] that girls confide more in their mother than boys. When my girls had/have a beef with their boyfriend, they called/came home and couldn't help but relate the whole experience. My son just sulked for two weeks until the girls beat it out of him.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 20, 2000.


Wow, this really is a great-looking bunch of people (and their families) we have here.

I followed that link "x" provided and you're right, Peg, it brought back memories (cringe).....and now I can't get that song out of my mind!

kritter, Anita: When I was growing up, I was one of the best baseball players the little league had ever seen. But of course I couldn't join because I was (GASP!) a girl. So instead (how's this for logic?) they let me hit to them in fielding practice. They also made me (be still my beating heart) Official Scorekeeper. They even gave me (could ya spare it?) an Official Team Cap. Ooooh.

So I decided instead to play basketball ..... and I kicked the guys' butts (living well *is* the best revenge).

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 20, 2000.


Future:

Did you play an undercover cop in any movies? [I feel like I've seen you on film.] I won't guess at your stage name, because I know you've already had your identity stolen.

Patricia:

YOU [YOU] at a sniveling 5 feet tall played BASKETBALL? I guess the height qualifications have changed since I tried out for the team, or was that what they meant when they said, "We want TALL, but we don't want CLUMSY"?

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 20, 2000.


Serpico!

Nice photo, FS, though not at all what I had envisioned. You look much like a friend of mine. Are you Syrian?

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 20, 2000.


YOU [YOU] at a sniveling 5 feet tall played BASKETBALL?

Uh, "SNIVELING"???? (I can't believe you remembered how "tall" I was.) Yeah, short but dynamite woman here. Foul-shooting champ; MVP; high-scorer; captain of the all-star team.....I kicked butt. Oh, wait a minute -- I didn't play in a "guy's league". It was a "girl's league" but we played the guys some games (maybe five times a season). Got the same reaction you had there -- the guys simply could not believe how good I played that game.

Do you ever watch "Saturday Night Live"? The guy who does Weekend Update -- Colin Quinn -- I played basketball with him at times in the mid-1970s. It was fun. I kinda miss those days.

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 20, 2000.


FS,

I can't write what I'm thinking 'cause I'm a married woman ;)...LOL

Yeah, I'm having a GREAT TIME!!!

My pics...that my "HUSBAND" set up for me.[g]"

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 20, 2000.


Anita, yes thats me, June 1964, on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights. Growing up on that boardwalk was fun, and watching my kids grow up on it too is really a treat.

Peg, I love your wonderfully Irish family! I laughed out loud when I saw your photo..because of the Beanie Babies..!! I have three Y2K Beanie Babies sitting on my computer. (Blackout, Stash, and Crash) Blackout has a little working flashlight, and Stash has a zipper in his back, where you can hide yer money..LOL.

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), May 20, 2000.


Great pics, Peg. (I can't write what I'm thinking 'cause you're a married woman ;) And check out the shirt- "Y2k R U Ready?". LOL

-- CD (costavike@hotmail.com), May 20, 2000.

Yikes, kritter! Not only was I born in NJ, June 1964, I killed many a brain cell on, under & down the street from the boardwalk in Seaside Heights.

Look up debauchery in the dictionary, there's a photo of Bingo at Seaside Heights. Bad old days. And he lived to tell about it.

-- Bingo1 (howe9@shentel.net), May 20, 2000.


Kritter,

Not Irish...we be Highlanders from Scotland...well at least the Hubby is...I'm mostly of Dutch ancestery.

My girlfriend bought me all those Beanies...she is a Beanie Nut...LOL!

CD,

You noticed...and I did it on purpose...snicka!

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 20, 2000.


Peg!! I LOVE the pictures!! I can see where the girls get their great looks from -- you and the "hubby" must look terrific together!

The shirt is hilarious ;-)

kritter, I didn't know they had beanies like that -- those are funny. What did the "Crash" one have?

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 20, 2000.


Costavike:

Thanks much for posting the link to the photo.

Kritter:

Now that I see what you look like I think we may have partied together at that dead show in 1982 at Rutgers :v ). You sure do look familiar.

To others:

I have heard the Al Pacino thing for years-I could never figure it out-but here are a new group of people saying the same thing. I guess it isn't all that bad to lookk like him, eh? I actually had an old woman come up to me in the subway in New York and tell me how much she loved my pictures, and would not stop until I signed an autograph!

Cin-

Just for laughs, what DID you think I would look like?

-- FutureShock (gray@matter.think), May 20, 2000.


Cin:

I forgot to answer your question. I am not syrian; I am German, Irish, and Cherokee indian. I think the Cherokee accounts for my dark skin tone, and also my spiritual leanings.

-- FutureShock (gray@matter.think), May 20, 2000.


Peg, the bears are "fake" beanies..they're made by Senna. If you click on "y2k bear series", you'll see the trio. My daughter has more beanies than I have room for in this house! (fault of the grandmothers!)

Future Shock..I meant to mention that in my last post...You look like EVERY guy I EVER partied with at a Dead Concert!, but were you the guy who went on the road trip with us to the Maryland Show when the bus broke down? Hehehehe..

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), May 20, 2000.


Oh, and one more thing (spam spam spam spam) Hey Bingo..I burned up a lot of brain cells under that boardwalk too...I wonder if I know you too? :-)

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), May 20, 2000.

cin,

LOL!! You've finally proven beyond any reasonable doubt...you really are Laura Merkely!!

ROFLMAO---I hope she has a lot of butt powder...

-- (yikes@big.butt), May 21, 2000.


Great pictures, Peg. I can totally see the Celtic in your kids. Oh, and, you're welcome. =)

FS...believe it or not, I pictured you as African. I could sense some sort of tribal thing going there, the spirituality as well. I really like that about you. =)

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 21, 2000.


p.s...I, myself, am mostly Norwegian and German.

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 21, 2000.

Kritter:

Nope. Not that Landover show, but I did go down there a few times- 3/17/92 comes to mind. Every guy? Thought maybe I looked somewhat distinctive.

Cin:

Very interesting that you would say african. I have been told I had african blood in me by african-americans-Of course now you know there IS a tribal thing going on-Native American!

-- FutureShock (gray@matter.think), May 21, 2000.


Peg:

Great looking family. Did your husband once play a lawyer in a movie? I might add that I love the warm "feeling" of your house. It has that House Beautiful look, while ours resembles more Real Simple.

Kritter:

The black and white gave it away. I have an entire album full of black and white photos from my childhood. It wasn't as though color hadn't been invented yet [grin]....it had more to do with my dad developing his own prints in the basement. He only had B&W equipment, so only took B&W pictures.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 21, 2000.


Nice pics, all of you. Can't seem to get through all the links that are posted on both pages.

Consumer - did you take your pics down?

Cap'n - reminds me of Jimmy Buffet, A Pirate looks at 40.

We got my son a Jam Cam for Christmas. If I can get him to dig it out I will post a pic. A discrete one, suitable for family viewing, of the spanker himself. Although that did look like a monkey I saw running across Cin's pics. Cin have you been spying on me?

-- Monkey Spanker (spanking@way.com), May 21, 2000.


Thanks all, for being so nice.

Anita, House Beautiful?..yeah the room you can see in the pic's...that's about it. We did that room over a few years back and I recently washed the windows and curtains...the hubby actually commented that he could see daylight through the curtains...LOL

Now what ya don't see is the ceiling tile in the kitchen that's hanging from water damage...the cracked floor tiles...chipped paint on the woodwork..and on and on....we call it 'This Old House', it's always something..LOL

Thanks for the compliment though!!

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 21, 2000.


Peg: Funny -- me and SO were sitting here looking at your house in the pictures, too. He just loves the neighborhood you can see out the windows (he especially loves the picket fences). Looks like a really nice place to live. Is it a two-story house? You don't see many of those out here -- mostly ranch houses. Some of the condos/townhouses are two-stories, but that's about it.

And the girls are absolutely adorable (tell them I said hi!).

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), May 21, 2000.


Peg:

You live in BOSTON . ALL the houses there are old. Age makes a HUGE difference in maintenance, but there's ALWAYS maintenance. If we're do-it-yourselfers, the time spent on the job must be weighed with the time spent with the family [just like any OTHER activity.]

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 21, 2000.


Patricia and SO,

Yes, it's a 2 story house with an attic and cellar. Lots of stairs to carry laundry around on...LOL And I'll tell my neighbor's that you guys like the fence...they just got done scraping and painting it.

The girls say hi back and Amanda said "Thank you for calling me adorable". :)

Anita,

Not quite Boston...we live about 40 mi. northwest...almost to the N.H. border. All the houses in this neighborhood are about 70 yrs. old and the maintenance never ends. But hey, we would get bored if there was nothing to do.

I gave the girls cooking lessons today. Amanda made brownies and Meghan made Toll House cookies...they did a fantastic job. If I could I would pass them around in here. They were going to paint the picnic table but it's a drizzly day...well there's always next weekend. (How's that for quality time?)

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 21, 2000.

OMG Peg, mickey aka fatboy could almost pass for fatmans twin.

So that's what a 23 pounder looks like...ROFL...

His belly almost touches the floor, time for a feline diet?

I started feeding mine IAMS and one Whiskas enevelope a day.

WARNING to those w/cats....DO NOT give them the Whiskas in the envelopes they are highly addictive....(G)

Peg, tell hubby thanks.

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), May 23, 2000.


How bout Whiskas in the can? Sheesh. My two climb up my legs with them grappling hooks they call paws every time I get out a can of that stuff.

Two true tips for cats owners:

(1) do NOT feed them straight tuna out of the can (StarKist, Chicken of the Sea, BumbleBee, etc.) It's too strong for them, just like cow's milk is too strong for baby kittens.

(2) Reasons why declawing is bad: it's analagous to cutting off the first joint of all your fingers. Yep. It's against the law in England and other countries, even.

I trim my two's claws every now and then, after they've sliced me into ribbons a few times and I just can't take it any more....they get used to it. The trimming, I mean. (The slicing too)

See

Oakland SPCA

and

lisaviolet.com

before you declaw.

Your Hubby has the same birthday as me!

I got my Dad a cat to keep him company after my Mom died last year and That Darn Cat!!! has completly taken control in his house! I will post pic's of them when I put pictures up. The cat Smokey is part siamese and comes in and plops his 21 ibs down in my Dad's way and my 90 year ild Father has to pick him up and carry him to his "high rise condo". He is the best thing for my Dad though, the catis excellent company and even talks to Dad and will "high five" him!

I cannot immagine life without a cat, Missy, my cat will walk on my keyboard to get my attention if she wants something.

-- Cherri (sams@brigadoon.com), May 24, 2000.


Me too Cherri. I have always had at least one cat, every since I was a small child. We've even had a couple of "Smoky's". I now have 4 cats, and they pretty much run things around here. Aside from them killing the baby bird that I was trying to save =(....we kinda like it that way. I'll try to post a pic of my babies.
