Well, it does rhyme, lyra...

I think your folks (well, your mom anyway) were a little naive. Your dad probably chuckled every time you called it that.

Ok, you guys are too sharp for me. So,I didn't do a very good job blackening it out. Right now, I am in the Internet Cafe in Times Square. A virus has apparently infected the firm's network, so we can't even turn the computers on over there. I still don't know why we can't operate w/o the net. The only thing they are sure of is that the virus originated from the computer of a guy known only as Violin. All my non-computer work is done, so it's boring over there. TT for 2 bucks/hr? What the hell. Passes the time.

Lyndy, what is your sister preoccupied with?

I can't think of anything funny or mean to say about LyndyS cutey-pie photo.


On the up side, I found that google had cached the pass around camera thread. Here is that photo of Dunadan and the Missus.

Yep, bit. I had very long curly hair in the 70's. Wore it in a afro for a while. Skinny white boy with a afro and an attitude.
Had to get respectable a few years after leaving school. ;)

I should post some pictures of some 'fros from my middle school annual. You can barely see some of those kids' faces, their hair is so big.

Tree - My folks may have burned the evidence. Ha ha. My Dad REALLY hated my hair. ;)
If I see my folks this weekend, I'll check.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I haven't looked through all the other pictures that people have posted because I've been fighting with the scanner all day. I was trying to put a pic in of me and my brother a little after college but the scanner scanned it as a real small pic. I can't seem to enlarge it, the softwares let me zoom in but won't save it that way. I'm sure that it is some dumb thing I'm doing but whatever.

Now I will look at all the cute pictures of all of you people.

Yeah Tilt, I look back and wonder why we can't stay young forever. Oh well, it is my kids' turns to be the cutey pies. In the meantime, more sit-ups and running.

Iron Butterfly! That's when my parents started to worry about me. About the same time frame that I discovered Steppenwolf.

Wow, that was great looking at all the kids and teens. Except that I couldn't get to Phil's album for some reason.

Violin I loved the 2 yr old pic with the dog in the wagon. You were a cutie, but very smart looking too. My Mom had the exact same drapes as the ones in the back of the TV. And the fish picture, I have one of my husband just like that one.

Gemini, that is sad about the other little girl. The rest of pics are nice, it is neat that so many people have put together albums of themselves as they were growing up. I am going to try to do that with my siblings, and me if I can get pics from my folks.

Smiley Girl is a tow-headed cutie but no smile! I tell my kids to say "Ice Cream" for the camera and I usually get good smiles out of them.

Treebeard, cute as a wee one, but scary as a grownup. Now you look more mellow.

My kids are too funny. Bryan wants to look super cool. Cameron shows all his teeth and his smile looks so fake, it's funny!

I do take a lot of pictures of them though. I really don't have a lot of myself, and I wish I would.

Okay here is the one with me and my brother and young grownups.

This scanning stuff is fun

Treebeard, I don't know what my sister was looking at. We had a kitten at the time, so maybe she was looking at him.

Scared of me? That would be like being scared of Cheech and Chong!









Wanna see scary? Now, this is scary...

Treebeard, I just can't take that picture, it subliminally frightening as well as obviously frightening. Stephen King writes about characters like that.

Don't know, can't pick you out Aero Hairo. Which one are you or are you going to play a guessing game with a bag of candy for a prize, much like our newest New Yorker?

So what's happening with these pix? Is Gemini collecting them for use as evidence or for a website featuring before and after pix? Wassup Gem?

I don't have any childhood pictures. When I moved to California in 1986, I came with an infant and one suitcase full of clothing. I left everything else including pictures behind.

I do have lots of pictures of that infant (he's now 17-years old.

BR, you posted a link directly to the pics. Instead, post a link to the Webshots page which displays them, or alternately, a link to the folder containing the pics.

this is the album

http://community.webshots.com/album/25881415bsQHrDGpMR

BR, Webshots doesn't allow you to link pics stored on their servers to other server's pages. You can probably see the above pic because it's in your cache, but none of the rest of us can.
