It is nice to see you folks, and fun to have preconceptions dashed against the rocks. A fine lookin bunch one and all, who would have believed that so many charming, handsome, and intelligent people would all hang at the same place?

Now, who do you REALLY want to see?

My vote goes to Hawk. I've never seen a 6'4" bounty hunting, God talking to, foul mouthed (only when provoked, of course) air disaster investigatin', straight shootin, root beer tootin, EZ board falutin, liberal salutin, argument convolutin, flyin high and poopin, human he-man salutin, feathered raptor before.

C'mon Hawk, join the fun.

Unk,

I think he already posted a picture in a thread a long time back. He bore a striking resemblance to Rambo, as I recall, but with more muscles :^)

-- Jim Cooke (JJCooke@yahoo.com), May 22, 2000.

There ya go, Unk...Jim Cooke. I'd like to see EVERYONE that posts with the same name......Jim Cooke, Flash, Gilda, Laura, Hawk, Maya, Cin, Patricia...the list goes on. Surely these folks have a pic laying around somewhere that can be scanned and submitted. We don't need professional pictures with perfect poses. If I can post a picture of myself taken after 15 hours on a blue-bird bus along the bumpiest dirt-road in Central America, after holding an empty bread- loaf bag under my daughter's crotch so she could empty her bladder after complaining that her stomach was about to explode, I would think others could find something .

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 22, 2000.

Anita, I had scanned four pictures to post Wednesday, but now that there's someone on the board that went to my university with me, I think I'd better pass. Sorry!

-- (Ladylogic@...), May 22, 2000.

SOME of us know him in meatspace. I hate to bust your bubble, but think "135 lbs of rippling skin and bone", with bad teeth.

About the only thing that carries over to his on-line personna is his foul disposition. Yeah, he's every bit as much as a prick in reality as he is in virtual reality.

You people need to stop believing everything you see just because it comes over a modem.

-- Hawk? Oh, please (think@bout.it), May 22, 2000.

By the way, I'm not sure of course, but I think that might have been a picture of Cin. When someone said it was, she never denied it.

Cin? Was that you? Nemesis and I thought the woman in that picture was kind of pretty. Besides, it's character that counts more than size. What da ya say?

-- (Ladylogic@...), May 22, 2000.

You guys didn't like my picture? I kinda like that one.

I got a booboo face now, see? =o(

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 23, 2000.

You scanned pictures and were all set to post them wednesday, but you're not going to because there's someone who went to the same university as you?

That makes no sense at all, since you invited him to _meet_ you there.

Unless you don't want him to see what you _really_ look like _before_ he meets you, cellulite-ass.

Or unless you're full of shit (you? full of shit?) about him, and about the pictures, and this is your excuse for not posting either fake photos (of someone else), or accurate pictures (of your waves of puckered fat).

You really need to have a good "exit strategy" before embarking on your campaigns of lies. If you did, you wouldn't find yourself painting yourself into a corner like that. It's a bitch when your lies start falling apart, isn't it.

-- No one (wants@the.old.nag), May 23, 2000.

Anita,

Actually, I do have a few digital pictures of me when I was over in Nepal that are pretty grungy. Where are we supposed to post these pictures? And, if I do, you have to promise not to laugh :^)

-- Jim Cooke (JJCooke@yahoo.com), May 23, 2000.

LL, are you talking about me? I don't remember a Cin picture. Anyhow, what I'd like to see is all you babes in the undies you described in the undie thread. OK, here are some pics of me and my family--

Nemesis,

You certainly have an *interesting* group of family and friends!

I could swear one of those guys is my accountant (the "who's your daddy" guy). Now I am thinking, perhaps I should change accountants?

BIG time LOLOLOL, nemesis!! We MUST be related! Those are some of my family and relatives too! :o)

-- (Ladylogic@...), May 23, 2000.

Jim:

Most folks are posting pics on Photopoint.com. Unk started it all in this thread and then Capn started a second thread. This one is the third.

I figured if I had to wait for a NICE picture, I'd NEVER get a round tuit. Someone took a pic of my mom and my daughter at mom's place for a Mother's Day party this year. If my daughter ever gets that film developed, I'll scan it and include it in my album. It's been fun to both do the album thing and see other folks. Photopoint.com is very flexible in that it allows you to add pics at a later date, delete pics you're tired of, etc. I think the first thread concentrated more on instructions on where to start.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 23, 2000.

You can see me (I know you don't want to) on the 06 June 1998 copy of The (London) Times, money section, "Escaping from a pension can be painful") yawn......

looking "angry" as the press psyched me up to be (as befits the article)

-- richard (richard.dale@onion.com), May 23, 2000.

I heard Deb was a hotty, but I didn't get to see the pic. Somebody pulled the link...anbody got a copy of the link or just the pic?

-- lurker (in@the.background), May 23, 2000.

Angry or NOT, Richard, I'm envious of those eyebrows. I can't get the link to work, but let's see if we can capture the picture alone.

The link to Deb's picture is somewhere in the first thread [click on the link provided for Jim and scroll down until you see where Deb gave her link.]

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 23, 2000.

Let's try that picture of Richard one more time:

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 23, 2000.

Hmmm...I see now that Deb requested her link be pulled. Did she get more than one marriage proposal? Does she not want to be included in such strange company?

Deb: ??????

Woohoo Richard! (wink wink)

=o)

-- cin (cin@cin.cin), May 23, 2000.

some shifty looking photographer came and took about 2 rolls of film presumably the rest of the negs are where they belong in the trash, the only other picture of me was taken at the age of 18 months

-- richard (richard.dale@onion.com), May 24, 2000.

I'm envious of those eyebrows

I have been told to keep them trimmed....

-- richard (richard.dale@onion.com), May 24, 2000.

is this their resident bunkerboy zog?

-- (sleazyboardhaspictures@geocities.com), May 25, 2000.

I don't know if that is zog, but I think not. I would believe from reading his words that zog has the sense to keep his fingers off of the trigger until ready to shoot, unlike that yahoo in the picture.

-- (seenitbefore@hiswebsite.com), May 26, 2000.

Hi Anita,

I am honored to be included in such eclectic company. I had a problem with the link I posted and asked OTFR to remove it until I straightened it out.

Upon reading Uncle Deedahs directions to someone about being careful which link to use I checked mine and found it had access to my account (and my computer?).

I had PhotoPoint delete that account. It took forever, but they finally did it. I set up a new account and intended to re-post a link.

Others and I checked that link. It seemed to be the correct one, the visitors link. Just before I went to re-post I checked it again and once again I was able to access my account. I dont understand it.

I would guess that only I would see this as it is my computer but I dont know how to account for the times I checked it from my computer and only had access to the visitors account.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Anyway . marriage proposals? Now who would be brave enough to propose to Lilith?

-- Debra (Ihaveno@clue.com), May 26, 2000.

Now this is weird...I just checked both my links to photo point and they have changed somehow from the original links that I posted.

What do I do now?

Anyone?

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 26, 2000.

I am not following you Deb and Peg, what exactly is it you are trying to say? I know that I can check from other computer, do so here at work. But what did you mean when you said it gave access to your computer and account?

Account (i thought) could not be changed unless you have the code.

Sorry if i seem bewildered, but I dont get what you mean.

Thnks ladies. Now wondering, should I delete it altogether since we all pretty much have seen each other? Thoughts anyone?

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), May 26, 2000.

consumer,

The links to my pics that stand now are the pics where you can change the captions...that's not what I originally posted...go fugure.

And, I don't think that anyone can get to my 'puter...but someone could change my captions.

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 26, 2000.

Peg -

Just to ease your mind until we figure this out ... I checked one of your links, inside and out, and I could NOT access anything.

When you originally posted it did it ONLY show the visitor's access? Mine did ... only to change later. What is really bothering me now is how carefully I checked the second one. Time and again, from my computer, only the visitor's link was available and then the change to my account link.

-- Debra (??@??.com), May 26, 2000.

Deb, yes, it only showed the vistor's site...

Thanks for checking it out for me..still trying to figure out why it changed though.

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 26, 2000.

Debra, I suspect that you have a cookie set on your computer to bring you directly to your access link, as the owner, but the rest of us can't. The same applies to Peg, hence why she sees her access account but when you click on her link you're in the guest section.

-- (y@x.x), May 26, 2000.

y -

Why does that cookie sometimes only bring me to my visitor's link? Asked another way ... why does that cookie sometimes not work?

Thanks

-- Debra (??@??.com), May 26, 2000.

I believe that the "page" you see depends on whether or not you are "Logged On" to your PhotoPoint account. Find the link where you can "Log off" and then, after you have been logged off, recheck. I think you will then be viewing the page which visitors will be viewing.

-- CD (costavike@hotmail.com), May 26, 2000.

CD -

I made very sure I was logged off my account.

It's the visitor's link itself that changes from the visitor's site to the account site. Like I said, I can understand the cookies doing that from my computer but how do you account for the times the cookies DON'T do that from MY computer?

I have to go to work. Hopefully someone can figure it out?

Peg - did you find anything?

-- Debra (??@??.com), May 26, 2000.

Peg - did you find anything?

Hanging my head in shame...I didn't log out(sheepish grin).

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), May 26, 2000.

Peg: Back to your room!!!! LOL.....

You are baaaadddd!!! (pun intended)

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), May 26, 2000.

Debra, try these steps:

1) login to your access account

2) chose the album list where your picture is located, then click on "send album to a friend"

3) enter your own email address and send

4) scroll down and click on "logout"

5) retrieve the link Photopoint sent you via email when you clicked on "send to a friend"

6) paste that URL into your browser. You should now be on the guest access page to view your picture.

7) paste that URL on the picture thread :-) Should work, It worked for me.

-- (y@x.x), May 26, 2000.

"Should work, It worked for me."

I don't remember seeing a link to your picture. Would you mind reposting it?

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 27, 2000.

I didn't know that Ladylogic was nemesis' mom!

-- Learn Something (new@every.day), May 27, 2000.

Anita, I didn't post my picture, and I don't feel inclined to do so. Sorry ;-)

What I did is set-up a Photoshop account with a Yahoo email address just to see how it worked and what Debra was talking about.

-- (y@x.x), May 27, 2000.

I wouldn't encourage you to go against your inclination, Y. I thought it was fun to see the people behind the posts, and felt I knew the folks here well enough to believe they wouldn't simply lay down and laugh if I posted some pictures of myself and my family, even though we ARE a family that encourages laughter.

Speaking of laughter, the first time my mom said, "I don't eat much" at dinner last night, my daughter and her friend just about rolled on the floor. SO and I laughed, but these kids were downright hysterical. [Methinks they did a little smoking before they arrived.]

They left to attend another dinner near where my mom lives, so I volunteered them to take "Grandma" home on the way. I suggested to my daughter that she help "Grandma" to her quarters and put away the supplies I'd purchased for her, going on to explain that I'd purchased some medication for sore gums that I thought may need the tip cut off with a scissors before anything would unfold from the tube. We both at once pictured my mom squeezing and squeezing this tube wondering why nothing happened and burst out in laughter again. Once daughter stopped laughing, she said, "I'll cut it for her."

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), May 27, 2000.

Thanks y!

I'll try that.
