    Great to see your photos Karen! And happy to have been a little help. You have some great pictures there!

    I'm adding mine here on the link below, and my slideshow is PASSWORD PROTECTED so that it can't be found by Google or other searchers, just in case there are privacy issues with anyone.

    The slideshow speed control is in the top left of the screen....slow....med...fast.

    I have the Lucy / Ethel model - my neighbors have her sister and her Aunt. We doxie - sit for each other. These dogs (sshh - don't let them hear me call them dogs) all sleep just like yours. They are so wonderful together. When I opened this thread very early this morning - I said I want one! Then I had to walk ours in the pouring rain while she couldn't find the "perfect" spot quickly! Enjoy you sweet puppy!!

    Fantastic pictures!!! I feel like I was there! I knew you were all beautiful! Seeing the pics tells me for sure you're all beautiful! I always pictured ZBrat as a brunette!! That was a shock to see blonde hair! LOL Does she still have that cute little car?

    Forums are ordered alphabetically, which helps greatly I think. Never has had a great search function but you used to be able to use Google and search for old threads if you were good with search term. Haven't tried that lately. Hard to imagine what the goals of the new format are. I've cut down on my use but I have put enough projects on my life's "to do" list from my years here to keep me going for a long, long time!

    Wonder why I can't see it? I can usually see photos on Flickr, Photobucket, etc.

    Wow, what great memories! What an undertaking. I want to thank SharonCb for helping Karen with this project.

    Karen, didn't we take pictures when we visited Janet in Sanibel Island & Captiva Island?

  • 16 years ago

    Karen I laughed, but it also brought tears to my eyes. We have had soooo much fun at our get-togethers. I miss all my cooking friends. We have got to get together again soon!

    Thanks for the great slide show, SharonCb! I remembered so many great pics from the past. Sorry I can't see your show, Karen -- guess my Mac just can't jive with the format. I keep getting "buffering" notices.

    Teresa

  • 16 years ago

    Working on it so everyone can see!

  • 16 years ago

    Wow, what fun! Some of the faces I'm familiar with but others took me by surprise. (You know how you get a mental image and then it's blown to pieces when you see a pic?) It's great how many of you have actually met in person!

    Anyone about to look at Karen's don't do the mistake I did - spend 10 minutes watching a fuzzy slideshow before noticing the HQ button. Duh!

    Thanks both of you. Like I said, that was fun.

  • 16 years ago

    I just finished looking through this album a second time. I saw things I didn't catch the first time. Outstanding job.

    What I did notice and appreciate was that the album ended with a picture of dear Janet, we miss you Janet!

    Thank you

  • 16 years ago

    Karen, this is so cool and a great idea. I'm loving seeing all the pics from over the years... your show too Sharoncb. I've been lucky to meet and spend time with some of y'all and look forward to meeting others in the future. Like Sherry mentioned, it's time....

    I remember pics from the time y'all spent with Janet....wasn't there a few pics in a joint on the beach with a famous cake...maybe a train that ran around the ceiling of the place???

    I don't know how to do a slide show but will try to share a few pics that I have. I'm still so glad to have found this site and great group of friends......pics or not!

    Thank you Karen and Sharon for all of your hard work! Although a couple of those shots of me could have found the delete button! LOL Sadly, I'm reminded how many pounds I needed to lose and how much more weight is left. My vanity is showing...

    It was great to see Canny Camp gang and some of our old friends, where have they gone? RIP Janet!

    Foodonastump is right.
    You get a much better version of Karen's slideshow by clicking on both the HQ and the Full Screen options.

    Thanks, Karen! I was able to see your show!

    Damn you're good David!! Mind like a steel trap.

  • 16 years ago

    You know Cathy, I think I forgot my camera that weekend as I can't seem to find any pictures of our time together. Danggit!

    I do remember pics of the individual cakes and of Jane...

    I may have to really dig around and see if I can find them. Although, I think they were taken with an old camera (first digital) and I'm not sure where those particular pics are.

  • 16 years ago

    That was wonderful! Thanks to both of you.

    Who has all the baby photos? That was a hoot!

    Eileen

  • 16 years ago

    Thank You So Much for sharing these! That was vicarious fun.

  • 16 years ago

    I LOVE this. Thank you both so much for putting these together. I can see that I have to get out more because I only showed up in one. I also have some pics from our last Philly get together with Caliloo, LPink, Ghoghunter (Joanne) and me.

    I especially enjoyed seeing the pictures of Barnmom. I always wondered what Alice's mom looked like. Very pretty. IN fact, there were a number of faces I don't think I saw before.

    Another thing I notice is that a lot of you (not me) got thinner. That is very encouraging!

    Pam

  • 16 years ago

    Barnmom I still have 15 of our baby or as young child photos.
    I can add them on to my slideshow if nobody minds.
    Names are: Deb814, Dlundin, Ann_T, Eileen, KathieT, LindaC, Mitchjesj, Momto4, Phyllis Philoden, RuddMD, Chase, SharonCb (I'm already on the slideshow), Weed, Dishesdone,JGarner.

    Let me know if it's NOT okay with you. :-)

    Pam I have another one of you from when you were trying out new glasses. Okay if I add that one as well? You look good in that one too.

    Your slideshow is great, Sharon! Thanks, I really, really enjoyed it. Most of the pics I remember, but some I don't. Great to see old friends!

    I cannot view River's slides, guess my computer is too old and I need something that I don't have.

  • 16 years ago

    Sharon, sure go ahead and add that pic if you want, but it really doesn;t matter. The show is nice as it is. I have a picture of me as a 4 year old in a cowgirl outfit. I love that picture. I'll send it for the baby slideshow.

  • 16 years ago

    Well, I got to view most of Karen's slideshow at work (in between patients calling...geez, don' they know I have pic to look at! LOL) Great photos, great memories! Thanks for sharing!

    Haven't seen yours yet, Sharon, but I will! As soon as I get near a high speed connection!

    FWIW we should be getting DSL here in the "toolies" in October. I can't wait to look at WFD threads again! LOL

    Excellent! All of them!

  • 16 years ago

    Great job, Karen and Sharon. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at them all and alot of members pictures I had not seen before. Thanks for both of your efforts.

    Karen , Sharon what a great job! I loved everyone of the pics. Such memories.....not just of get togethers but of the people who have shared so much of themselves ,on this forum, over the years. I miss so many of those folk.

    Runs in my mind Gina had a slide show too...Gina?

    Baby pictures were so much fun but whoever has the baby pics, don't post the names! See who can figure it out. Woodie knows which one I am..... something to do with a long forgotten shampoo! LOL

    Thanks again Karen and Sharon, this was so much fun....and thank you GW. If not for you our paths would likely not have crossed.

  • 16 years ago

    I need to redo mine - many of those folks are not around anymore, and a lot of new people to add.

  • 16 years ago

    I have those baby pics I mentioned. I could post them just with numbers as we did so long ago, trying to guess the names to go with the photos. Heheheh!

    I'll see what I can still do tonight.

    Karen, I am finally able to see your slideshow! Thank you so much, its just terrific. I don't think I've seen all of those pics before - wow, what a party group we have here on the forum!

    Sharon, I'd recognize that little Breck girl anywhere :)

  • 16 years ago

    How funny. I just don't remember who that person was that I was then. Wish you had a few of me now that I've lost weight! Good memories of the people, though.

  • 16 years ago

    What a WONDERFUL gift to the forum. Seeing all those great people was so heartwarming. Such beautiful people too! The smiles are the BEST. And those pics of Janet and Larry . . . sweet Janet is sorely missed that's for sure. Thanks you so much Sharon and Karen for doing this!!!!!
