Let's put a picture to the name

18 years ago

It's been a very long time since we've introduced ourselves properly. :) After so many commented on how nice it was to put a face with the name on my recent post about meeting okwriter, I thought, why not start a picture thread. We have so many new members it would be wonderful to meet/see them. And, I'm not so sure we've actually seen some of our longer standing members either. So please, don't be shy. If you have a picture of yourself, your entire family, you with your dog or cat, recent or not, please post it so we can see who we converse with on a daily basis. It'll be fun!

Sorry to be redundant with this one you've just seen. But it's my most recent with okwriter. I'm the one on the left needing a new hair color. :)

Rita, please feel free to add another pic of yourself if you wish.

Oh, and the second picture is of Granlan, my sister, who also posts here.

    Strange cat on my fennel-put the dogs on it or let it be?

    Q

    I don't know what it is, but I usually let things be unless I know for sure it's destructive and doesn't help out the food web (like Japanese Beetles). If it's not destroying your fennel, I'd leave it so that perhaps predators will take that and not your BST caterpillars. You could remove it and put it nearby--it sounds like some type of moth, so it might eat many kinds of plants.

    Aunt Jen my long lost retro soul sister :) That big chill fridge in your delicious picture is the second half of the first kitchen picture I posted with the lime laminate counters and vintage stove. I love that whole kitchen, it makes me smile :) Powermuffin .. yay, another cool chair aficionado! :) I'm going through a cute chair phase in life it seems, every vintage chair I find IRL .. I day dream new cute fabric on it. :D Still looking for the perfect pair of chairs to bring home to send to the reupholsters.

    Here are a couple more 'now and thens'. This one makes a nice mound. It is not as leggy as many others get. The green is now post rain. The difference is not as dramatic on this large headed variety. In late spring it is more grey and the red is more pronounced. atropurpureum. atro. v. swartzkopf. This one is a little harder for me to root than most. I don't know the name. haworthioides. I like this one in both seasons. Maybe I like the red better because I have other plants that get dark. I need to get this one in the ground to see if it will grow a little stronger.

    I would get a panel that is similar to what the cabinet doors are made off and paint it the same color as the cabinets( the sides that are sticking out too). Maybe even consider some moulding on it that goes with the cabinet doors. To me it reads as part of the range, and ties the hood with the cabinets together. By painting it the same color as the wall, the range good looks like this little awning. Even angel's example shows how they made it look like part of the cabinets.

    Hey,look- it's Jamie's daughter! Aren't you cute! Will you tell your mom that Flamey said "HI, POOKIE!" please? I can't believe how much you've grown up and your brother, too. Thanks for posting those shots, kiddo.

  • 18 years ago

    I can't tell you how many times I have came back here to see more faces!
    The KT has the most fantastic people! Some of you look NOTHING like I pictured you! LOL This is a great thread!

    Holy cow Kathy. In the pic of you and Banjo you look EXACTLY like my step-mom. Creepy!

  • 18 years ago

    Hey! Kathy does not look creepy! Apologize!

    LOL. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

    It's nice to see everybody. I've been camera-shy the past few years. I'll have to see what I can find.

    Momcat, you can't post from your C drive because no one can see into your own computer.

    The photo has to be uploaded to a webserver and have a wwww. address so it can be seen on the internet.

    Many people have Photobucket accounts. They upload their photos to the server and then they can post them with an http:// addy.

  • 18 years ago

    This is sooooo great! I had very little computer time yesterday and didn't get to respond to the newer additions. I can't keep up now. LOL But I'm loving seeing all of you wonderful, friendly, handsome folks!

    Again, I can't thank you all enough for participating and putting the effort into letting us get a good look at who we are gabbing with everyday. I'm saving this post for sure. I'm enjoying getting to see your darling pets too.

    Paula, please don't be camera shy. We wanna meet you.

    Come one, come all!

    Sorry, forgot to give you a link to the Photobucket website.

    By the way, everyone's picture are beautiful!!

    Here is a link that might be useful: Photobucket photo host

  • 18 years ago

    OK, I've got to respond to you folks. I keep going back looking you over. I'm just nuts about these family pics too. You all look so normal and like people I would like to meet in person. I can't see an ax murderer among you. LOLOLOL.....

    No kidding, each and everyone of you look fantastic as do your Moms, children, varmints, just the whole bunch of ya!

  • 18 years ago

    I am told that I look like a lot of people - even creepy ones.

    I'm not doing something right! This is my first attempt at posting a picture. Under my photo in Photobucket there are four lines. I thought I was supposed to copy one of them and paste in the message here. When I preview, I don't see the picture no matter which one I try. Should I be seeing the picture when I preview? Help, please!!

  • 18 years ago

    Well, I don't want to be left out. Here is DH and I about 1 1/2 years ago, before the digital. Most recent pic I could find of he and I together. Notice the pic on his shirt of Grimmy from the comic strip "Mother Goose and Grimm". He loves Grimmy and also Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbs" Tells you what kind of guy my DH is. A fun loving ingenious sweetie for sure.

  • 18 years ago

    Bbabers, Copy the html line and paste into the message, you should see it in the preview. (Once you click on the line in Photobucket It will say in yellow--- copied.) Are you right clicking?

  • 18 years ago

    Well, maybe I finally figured out this photo posting thing. Yeah!!!

    This is at Lake Louise, Alberta. It was gorgeous! We took a long (3 month) RV trip in June from Texas to the Oregon coast, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta. Our daughter lives in Calgary. This was our retirement adventure as I retired in June. We had a wonderful time.

    Bette



  • 18 years ago

    OMGosh Bette, you and your DH are doing exactly what my DH and I want to do. Same entire trip and in a motorhome too. We once thought we wanted a vacation house, but I think we're leaning more toward another motorhome. We had a 34 footer back in the mid 90's and loved it.

    Gazania, my DH loves Calvin and Mother Goose and Grimm too. I always hear him laughing out loud on Sunday mornings when he's reading the paper. I know it's bound to be something Grimmy has said or done. LOL

    hi all
    this is me with the "kids"

    Sorry to post this so late but here I am with a pic! I am not really fond of having my pic
    taken so this pic was taken this past September in North Carolina at a surprise birthday party for my best friend Stacey. I am on the far rigtht with the flower printed shirt, Stacey is in the middle and the other person is Jeanine. I know that it is really small but Mallory tried to enlarge but the pic would have been distorted.
    This has been a wonderful thread to finally 'meet' all that have posted.

    Sorry I'm just now chimeing (chiming!?) in on this post. Didn't think I had a halfway recent photo of myself and then remembered some that we took in FL back in July.

    I'm in the left in the blue, then Gail, then Patsy - my Ya Ya friends. Gail and I have been the best of friends since we were about 14-15. Patsy and I made mud pies together before I ever started to school. She was older - she was in first grade! LOL

    This was taken at GS's high school graduation a couple of years ago with myself, GS and DH. I do not take good pictures and have very few with me in them, as I'm the one behind the camera usually.

  • 18 years ago

    Do you rescue greyhounds Karla? They are beautiful, as are you.

    Hi Deb, it's nice to meet you, even if you are minuscule in the pic. :)

    Aw YaYa, you little Sweetie. I love you and all your YaYa friends.

    What a pleasure to meet you Donna. It's very apparent your GS loves his sweet Grandma.

  • 18 years ago

    I apologize Kathy. I didn't mean you are creepy. geez!

    But if I didn't know it was you in the post I would have wondered how my step-mom found the KT. The resemblance is uncanny. And for the record, I think you are both pretty (not creepy) Although Halloween is coming soon....

  • 18 years ago

    If anyone decides to save all of these can I please ask that this photo not be included, my sisters would not want their photo permanently on the internet, but it's the best one I have of me that was taken recently. From left to right, me, my older sister, my younger sister and then the oldest of the family. Taken Thanksgiving weekend (Oct 6) at the inn we stayed at.

    If you can't I can try it maybe...I'd have to print it out then scan it...but I could try if you want.

    Very cute pictures Stacy and Debby. Thank you for posting.

  • 18 years ago




    This is a recent picture...sort of. This was taken when Pirates III was out. A friend of mine was meeting us and was coming straight from a VBS thing at her church and it was a cowboy theme. So I told her I'd wear a cowboy hat so she wouldn't feel out of place. Well, she left hers in the car, so I was the lone cowgirl at the pirate movie. LOL
