[Virgil]

:blush: Thanks for the compliment Virg.
(You do know, of course, that Petrarch's been waiting over six hundred years to have someone say he's gorgeous ;)).
OK, but we can assume that Petrarch's Love was gorgeous, and you do your name sake justice. ;)

[Petrarch's Love]

You're most kind.

[RobinHood3000]

Layin' it on kinda thick, there, aintcha, Virg? :brow:

[Riesa]

Oh, my, Petrarch, I thought you looked like this:

http://www.gothicsouls.com/portfolio/6/31425.jpg

I'm happy to be proven wrong, you look great. Nice to see a stereotype smashed to smithereens today. One small blond genius, one giant leap for womankind.

[Weeping Willow]

well... then how about you posting a pic then huh?! :p :p :p

[Petrarch's Love]

:lol: Well, thanks Riesa. Not too sure about the genius bit, but glad if I'm helping to dispell the infamous "dumb blonde" stereotype. :D Willow's right, when are we getting to see a pic of you? :nod:

[ShoutGrace]

Oh, my, Petrarch, I thought you looked like this:

Exactly!! That's exactly what I was trying to verbalize. Of all the possible Petrarch's Loves, tall and blonde wasn't near the top of my brain.


One small blond genius, one giant leap for womankind.

Ah, come now. One anomalous occurence doesn't disprove a social fact :D .

There are countless bevies of blonde jokes out there, but only one P.L. ;)

[Petrarch's Love]

Of all the possible Petrarch's Loves, tall and blonde wasn't near the top of my brain.


And 8 feet tall must have been a complete surprise. ;)


There are countless bevies of blonde jokes out there, but only one P.L.

Who has been victim to her fair share of them. :lol:

[Mililalil XXIV]

Petrarch has red roots.

[Virgil]

well... then how about you posting a pic then huh?! :p :p :p
I thought she just did. Isn't that of her? :D

[Petrarch's Love]

Petrarch has red roots.

She does? :confused: Maybe it's a trick of the light in the photo, they look pretty normal and blonde in the mirror. I've always thought red hair would be cool but I've never been intrepid enough to experiment with dyes.

[AimusSage]

She does? :confused: Maybe it's a trick of the light in the photo, they look pretty normal and blonde in the mirror. I've always thought red hair would be cool but I've never been intrepid enough to experiment with dyes.
I like the blonde hair just fine, I don't think red would suit you :)

[Idril]

She does? :confused: Maybe it's a trick of the light in the photo, they look pretty normal and blonde in the mirror.

I'm blonde and my hair takes on a definite reddish tint in some pictures and there isn't a hint of it in 'real life', like you said, it's just the lighting.

[Riesa]

I thought she just did. Isn't that of her? :Dgrrrrrrrrrrr :mad: finally your true thoughts come out, told you! goofball! I am just as unsure as you if I'm calling myself that or a certain gentleman who likes to wear a fisherman hat. ;)

[Virgil]

grrrrrrrrrrr :mad: finally your true thoughts come out, told you! goofball! I am just as unsure as you if I'm calling myself that or a certain gentleman who likes to wear a fisherman hat. ;)

Oh cap'n you have a lovely fam. And you have the merriest twinkliest gentle captain's eyes I have ever seen.

[rachel]

Thought I'd do something interesting with my one thousandth post, so here's a pic of me with a bookcase lurking in the background for anyone who's ever wondered what an academic from Chicago looks like.:)



And now all of you have the privelege I already have and see what a beautiful , sweet and intelligent looking girl our Petrarch's Love is. kisses, hugs, I miss you.

[Virgil]

Oh cap'n you have a lovely fam. And you have the merriest twinkliest gentle captain's eyes I have ever seen.
That's true. Too gentle for a pirate. You'll have to find another profession.

[miss tenderness]

Petrach you are extremely beautiful :)

[Petrarch's Love]

:blush: Thank you, Miss Tenderness, that's very sweet of you.

And hello dear Rachel. Thank you for your kind words too. :)

[RJbibliophil]

Petrach! You are very pretty! It is very nice to see you. I don't think your hair is very reddish, but blonde hair will do that. I remember when I was told I had "dirty" blonde hair, by some high schooler when I might of been in second grade... I really don't think I do. I'm not sure... did you see my pics? I took them off after awhile. If you didn't I'll share with the pretty blonde who must be on vacation....? BTW, are you by any chance wearing heels?

[Mililalil XXIV]

She does? :confused: Maybe it's a trick of the light in the photo, they look pretty normal and blonde in the mirror. I've always thought red hair would be cool but I've never been intrepid enough to experiment with dyes.
I was just joking. Others were hinting that they didn't imagine you as blond, and there's the saying about a certain type of woman having blonde roots if not the overall stereotypical hair-color, and red hair usually is not involved in that silly talk, so I mixed things up a little, and said your roots were red.

My driver's liscence says I am blond, but the picture was taken when I had a dark-looking shorn crown. My hair went strawberry blond when I was 17, and used a little of the weaker solution of hydrogen peroxide on my hair in the summer.

Thank you piglet. I remember your pictures looking very pretty too. I thought I remembered you having blondish hair, at least in the pics of you as a little girl, but I may be remembering wrong. I probably am wearing some low heels in the pic. (I do most days), but the bookcase being foreshortened in the background may give the impression of a much taller me. :lol: I'm actually 5'6" (though it may be hard to convince everyone of that in the face of Kilted's brilliant mathematical calculations earlier on this thread :D ).

Oh, and I'm not on vacation, just home for the summer and back to my roots as a California girl :cool:, though I'm still working on papers (sigh). A graduate student's work is never done. :p

Ah! I see now. Well, stereotypical blonde that I am the joke went right past me. :lol:

[RJbibliophil]

I ignore the "blondes" who make ridiculous jokes.

[AimusSage]

Now don't go taking all the credit for it, not all your jokes are ridiculous. :p

Ridiculous and silly then? :p

[AimusSage]

Yes, and sometimes they're funny too, but not to often ;) :p

See? :goof:

[AimusSage]

I never said blondes couldn't be funny :D

Some pictures from my nursing school graduation last Saturday, thus proving that, yes, I smile on occasion . . . :D
In a very democratic decision, my school gave us the option of wearing a typical cap and gown (http://bookstore.atu.edu/regali1.jpg) for graduation; we chose the more semi-formal appearance.

Oh-so-formal and posing . . .

Very handsome pics Mono. Congrats on the graduation and all the best in your future career. :)

[Psycheinaboat]

Mono, you seem so kind. I think you will do very well in the medical field.

Yes, congratulations mono. A very noble profession you've chosen, and yes the photos are very nice. :thumbs_up

[RJbibliophil]

You look splendid Mono! May God bless you as you start your career!

[AimusSage]

Great photos Mono, congratulations :)

[mono]

Thank you, everyone. I definitely feel relieved at completing nursing school, and already earning a job at a local intensive care unit (ICU). Now, I only must find things to keep myself pre-occupied with until beginning the job; Schopenhauer called one of the few evils of the world 'boredom' for a reason. :eek:

No, it's another one.

Edit: Because I ALWAYS read the first few words of a sentences and stop there without noticing ...

@RJ: I wanted to try another look - So far I haven't found one.

[Asa Adams]

Aha! Finally, a face to the name! Pretty pic Themis! :D

[RJbibliophil]

And I like the way you look old :D because on the photo in your profile, you look just like a commissar or detective. And that's cool. ;) (If it means anything to you, I think you look a lot like Commissaire Maigret )

@Shakira: You look really nice!

@Tend: Uhm ... cute, real cute
-

Did I mention already that every male around here seems to be either cute or ... cute? ;)

[TEND]

Thanks everyone! Themis, just wondering what would the difference between cute and ...cute be?

[Themis]

We~ll. Some people are cute and some are ... cute. The " ..." is a very important part of "the other cute". And some day, I'm sure I'll be able to present you an astonishingly ridiculous and yet quite logic explanation. Just wait. ;)

[TEND]

Very interesting...I'm waiting ;) .

[SleepyWitch]

yep, Pen looks trustworthy and like a big teddybear (of course i'm only saying this because he is the one and only member of my fanclub :lol: ooops, i meant I'm not only saying this....) :)
nah, seriously, you look cool in that suite, like a professor or something... are you a professor?
i never realized you're a bloke in his prime.. i thought you were younger from your posts... which proves you are young in spirit and that's what counts anyway....

ok let's all hug each other to get it over with :)

on a different matter: can i post a pic of my toy dog Fuffel? or is it off-topic?

[Themis]

on a different matter: can i post a pic of my toy dog Fuffel? or is it off-topic?

I hope it's not because I need to see this. Something called Fuffel ? Is that pronounced in German?

[SleepyWitch]

I hope it's not because I need to see this. Something called Fuffel ? Is that pronounced in German?
yep it's pronounced in German.
he's my 25 y/o toy dog (or cuddly dog, to confuse Virgil again :) )
he's read all the books I've read, so he's virtually a member of LitNet :)´

I'll take his pic one of these days if it's not off-topic... hehe, I'd better take a pic of the two of us, that way it's not hijacking the thread :)

[Shakira]

Hey SleepyWitch we'd like to see Fuffel. Post the pic soon.

[SleepyWitch]

ok :) I'll take one over the weekend and post it next week :)

[Shannanigan]

The devil, and the angel?

lol, hadn't quite thought of it that way...perhaps instead of "for good measure" I should have said "to balance the first picture out"?...note: the "devil" pic is more recent than the "angel" one, lol.


Did I mention already that every male around here seems to be either cute or ... cute?

Aha! I am not the only one, I no longer am forced to stand alone in my stupified awe of the cute guys here! Mwahahahahahaha!!!

[Asa Adams]

And we cannot forget the beautiful women! :nod:

[Hyacinth Girl]

Okay All,
Since there are no extant pictures of me that do not include horses, sequins or skiis, here is a picture of me and my horse, Alexander the Great, at the show last weekend.Show Pic (http://www.msnusers.com/LitNet/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=2)

[Petrarch's Love]

Hyacinth, so nice to see what you look like. You look lovely in your riding costume...and Alexander is a truly beautiful horse. Since you say you only have three types of pictures, I elect that the next one we see of you be in sequins (why sequins?):).

[Hyacinth Girl]

Thank you Laura. . . . the sequins are due to the fact that I hate to have pictures taken, so it's only at public events like competitions that they get taken - I'm busy competing, and so have no control :) I am a ballroom dance competitor and instructor, so there are some pictures of me with students at competitions floating around somewhere - hence the sequins.

[Logos]

Nice collected trot Hyacinth Girl :) what breed is Alexander? thoroughbred? hanoverian perchance? :D

[Hyacinth Girl]

Thanks Logos!! You should see the canter . . . he he he! He is a thoroughbred, but was never raced. He also gets mistaken for a Hanoverian a lot because of his size/build, and I'm definitely not one to complain about that. :D

[Logos]

You've got him in great shape, he's really using his neck! he does look warmblood-ish about his neck/chest/withers but his cannons look a little too fine for one, that's why I asked and yes my weakness is hanoverians :D

[Hyacinth Girl]

well now, Logos, you'll have to post a pic of your "significant other" (I assume you have one, since you are on such familiar terms with sporthorsedom) :) Thank you again for the lovely compliments on Alex's pic - can you believe he's 17? (I'm a leeetle older than that!)

[Logos]

Nope I don't have any horses right now but I've got hundreds of pics.. will see what I can find :)

[Pensive]

Great photo, Hyacinth! And indeed, an amazing horse. I like it a lot!

[TEND]

Very lovely horse. I must say in all the years of farming and rodeo's, I've never seen a horse like that :lol: . Very lovely photo.

[SleepyWitch]

i don't know the first thing about horses (only did horseback riding once and that was in the Mongolian steppe on a horse half the size of Alexander), but he definitely looks beautiful...
what's his character like? in the pic he looks like young and playful/full of energy but willing to be controlled by you.... he has thoughtful eyes for a horse :lol:

hehe, as i said i don't know anything about horses

[Hyacinth Girl]

Great photo, Hyacinth! And indeed, an amazing horse. I like it a lot!


Very lovely horse. I must say in all the years of farming and rodeo's, I've never seen a horse like that . Very lovely photo.

Thank you both for the kind words. . . as you may have guessed, I'm rather proud of the old man. Of course, I promised PL that I would try to find a picture of me that does not include any individual more appealing than myself and involves sequins instead, but I haven't been able to get one scanned in yet. :brow:


what's his character like? in the pic he looks like young and playful/full of energy but willing to be controlled by you.... he has thoughtful eyes for a horse
You're close, Sleepy Witch. He is very playful and full of energy, but also very gentle and willing. He is also one of the most intelligent horses I've ridden. He is not, however, young. Alex is 17 years, which is about the equivalent of a 50 year old person, so he's in his prime right now, but he IS often mistaken for a youngster.

[SleepyWitch]

wow, I can figure out horses :) maybe i can try people now? :lol:

[Virgil]

Yes, a very nice photo Haycinth.

[Hyacinth Girl]

Thank you Virgil. As I promised PL, I will try to get one in which I am not obscured by a riding habit, but awash in sequins scanned in this weekend. :)

[Petrarch's Love]

As I promised PL, I will try to get one in which I am not obscured by a riding habit, but awash in sequins scanned in this weekend.

Looking forward to a blindingly brilliant sequined shot. :)

[Shakira]

Hi guys. I just wanted to share the following pics of me & my 2 younger brothers - one is of when we were really young & the other is the latest one.

[Madhuri]

Hey Shakira, then and now pictures are very different. You look annoyed in "SmilePlease," being pestered by your brothers I guess.

[RJbibliophil]

Wow, lot's of pictures. Hyacinth, I can't open your pic. :(

[Idril]

Hi guys. I just wanted to share the following pics of me & my 2 younger brothers - one is of when we were really young & the other is the latest one.

You don't look very happy in that first picture, Shakira, there must be a story behind that pouty face. ;)

I love seeing childhood pictures, people should post a few more. :nod:

[Jack_Aubrey]

So...good pics. Way to keep this thread going everybody

[Shakira]

You don't look very happy in that first picture, Shakira, there must be a story behind that pouty face. ;)

Well. . . yes there is a story behind that "happy" face of mine. :D I had just returned from a B'Day party & wanted to wear the party hat for the pic & my dad didnt allow me to. So I frowned when he took the pic. :D This pic is quite a favorite among my family & friends.

I am posting 2 more pics of my brother. Just see the difference between them :lol: Both the pics are of the same person :D

[kathycf]

Shakira, your brother was an adorable little kid, and he looks quite grownup and distinguished now.

[Shea]

http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/44b2fb64z28cffd00/shea_ford/__sr_/ee73scd.jpg?pfdyvsEBxvMHDXxm We've finally got a digital camera...sort of. It's a cheap little key chain thing that looses battery power quickly. It's pics aren't all that clear (obviously), but here's me and my harp.

This was the only way Leo could figure out how to link the pic to my message. If someone would explain an easier way, I could show you our lovebirds, Ozzie and Hariett.

[Shea]

oh! we didn't realize that that attached image thing would come up! It wasn't there when we previewed the post. That other shot is Leo when he was a sprout. Isn't he cute!

[Shea]

well, I tried to take some pics of the chirpers, but there's no flash on this thing and the light is bad in this room at night. I'll try again in the morn.

[Petrarch's Love]

Great pictures from both Shakira and Shea.

I'd love to see a pic of your lovebirds Shea, being a bird person myself. In fact, I posted a pic of my little conure here (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showpost.php?p=220788&postcount=9) on a thread about pets.

[Shea]

How cute! I love conures too. I'd fallen in love with one at a pet store once that was very playful. The girl who worked there always toted him around on her shoulder. She said that once when he wanted her attention, he grabbed onto a lock of her hair and just started swinging! Sadly, I couldn't afford him at the time.

[Logos]

This was the only way Leo could figure out how to link the pic to my message. If someone would explain an easier way, I could show you our lovebirds, Ozzie and Hariett.

If you upload your pics to have them `hosted' at say http://photobucket.com/ you can copy them to show right in your post, otherwise if they are just on your computer hard drive you can only post links like you have done.

[Shea]

Okay, here are the kids. I'd have taken them out of the cage but I have to get ready for work now, and their wings aren't clipped. It would take too long to put them back.

The other shot is a project that I can finally get back to finishing now that my study is over. :banana:

[Petrarch's Love]

Oh, what sweet little birds. They're darling, shea. Is that a cross stitch project? It looks great. I used to do a lot of that, but I've taken up knitting lately instead.

Thanks and yeah, it's a Teresa Wentzler design. Those are some of the toughest I've ever done, but when you finish them, they are well worth the effort! Technically, I haven't finished any yet (I've started three), but my mom has, and it's beautiful!

I tried knitting, but when my grannie taught me crochet, I prefered it. I've been working on a baby afghan for a friend during study breaks. I like crochet, but I won't find myself doing it for hours like cross-stitch or lit forum reading!

Hey Pet, I'd love to see some of your projects!

[Petrarch's Love]

I've been hooked on knitting ever since I figured out it's something I can do while reading at the same time. As a grad student I do a lot of reading, and it's nice to be able to make something tangible at the same time.:lol:
Good luck with your afghan project. :)

Hey Pet, I'd love to see some of your projects!


I don't have any of my embroidery conveniently photographed (and much of it's back in Chicago right now), but I realized I had a couple pics of myself wearing some recent knit projects. The first is a wool sweater I did this winter (and people can see the unvarnished me after a day of studying in this one ;)), and the second is a shirt I just finished using a really cool stretchy ribbon yarn. I've made some blankets too, but I don't have pics of those either.

[RobinHood3000]

Wow. Lovely!!

And the sweaters are nice, too!

[Petrarch's Love]

Thanks Robin. :)

[thevintagepiper]

I have some then and now photos...


This is me and some friends (twins) when we lived in Florida....14 years ago. I am in the middle.

This is us (in March) when I visited. Again, I am in the middle.

[Petrarch's Love]

Those are absolutely adorable Vintage! You all were darling babies and now look like very elegant young ladies. :)

[TEND]

Wow. Lovely!!

And the sweaters are nice, too!
My thoughts exactly....
Vintage also, very nice photos!

[RobinHood3000]

Awwww...how old are you now, piper? (do you prefer vintage or piper?)

[Virgil]

I can't go back and compliment each individually, but let it suffice for me to say, great photos all.

[thevintagepiper]

Thanks! I will be 15 in 3 weeks. :nod:

[kathycf]

Those pics are very nice, vintagepiper and Petrach's Love. PL, your sweaters look very nice. My sister can knit and crochet well too, but the only thing I seem to be able to knit is scarves...

[Hyacinth Girl]

Those pics are very nice, vintagepiper and Petrach's Love. PL, your sweaters look very nice. My sister can knit and crochet well too, but the only thing I seem to be able to knit is scarves... - I can barely do a potholder! :lol:

I agree with Kathy. . .very nice pictures ladies. What a lovely and talented group!

[Shea]

Pet your sweaters are great! Even crochet, I have a difficult time with anything but afghans though a did manage a cute baby layette (it took FOREVER). You have great talent! The only thing I can do while crocheting or stitching is watching a movie I've already seen before. I've practically memorized all the lines from TLotR trilogy!

You ladies look very nice Piper! What's that old song?... "Oh, you must have been a beautiful baby...."

[Petrarch's Love]

Pet your sweaters are great!

Thanks. :)

Yeah, I stitch to tv/movies as well. It's nice to have something to do with your hands while watching. LOTR would give you lots of stitching time I would imagine. :)

[thevintagepiper]

This is what I look like now.

That pic was 1 1/2 years ago since then I have grown about three inches taller and eh... have a very manly gottee and ah.... have very large mucles from days and days of laughing at people who go to the gym.

[RobinHood3000]

Still no.

[thevintagepiper]

Thank you :cool:

[RJbibliophil]

Shea and Piper, you are so pretty! And PL again :p

Shea, I prefer crocheting over knitting as well. I am not overly skilled in either, but my sister can do all sorts of handiwork, and well. I may post some pics later in the summer when I finish my projects...

[thevintagepiper]

I love knitting but haven't picked up crocheting yet.....I really want my younger sister to teach me tatting though.

[Petrarch's Love]

Piper--The most recent pictures you posted both look great. You have a lovely smile.


And PL again

Thanks Piglet. :)

Oh, I'd love to see your projects, Piglet, and what Piper is up to as well (I've always wanted to learn to tat too:)). I had no idea we had so many knitters/crocheters/embroiderers etc. on this forum. Maybe the ladies of the forum should start up a virtual stitching circle thread showcasing our own photoalbum dedicated to showing off our handiwork. ;)

[RJbibliophil]

trade patterns, tips, how tos as well?

My sister knows how to tat. She can do hairpin lace too, (my birthday present to her...)

[grace86]

Okay...moment of truth...can I post my picture...I got it to photobucket. If the link works okay you will see me and my boyfriend (well now he is my fiance) at my 2004 senior prom...whoopie!!!

PICTURE WENT BUH BYE!!! SORRY GUYS!!!

[Petrarch's Love]

Lovely, Grace. You look beautiful, and the two of you make a handsome couple. I love the way he's coordinated his shirt with your dress too.

[grace86]

Thank you Petrarch. I was going to post a more recent one...but I don't have one lol. Yes, everyone was a little surprised he wore pink...since you know it's not a guys color and all!! But he surprised me with the tux.

But I do still look like a fourteen year old even though I am twenty. I will post a more recent one when I get over my internet paranoia.

[miss tenderness]

this is me, a child lost in dreams!

sorry, the image is too small... I had to resize it to 100 .You can resize it so u can get a better looking...sorry again!

[RobinHood3000]

Awww...

You all look MAHVELOUS, dahlings...

[kathycf]

Grace you look lovely and tenderness, that pic is adorable.
Sometime I will feel brave and submit one of me...

[Idril]

Sometime I will feel brave and submit one of me...

There's nothing to be brave about, it's not a contest, just a genuine desire to be able to picture those people we've come to know. Have you seen one picture on here that's made you think, "Wow! That person is really ugly, that's so disappointing, and I thought they were so cool."? ;) :lol: If I thought people were going to look at my picture and pick it apart, I would never post one but I think it's just an honest wish to put a face to a name, it doesn't matter whether you're a goddess or not. ;)

Of course, if you're a kid, that's a little different, I would never let my kids post their pictures on the net but I think for us 'old foggies', it's alright. :lol:

[grace86]

Hehe, I look like a kid though don't I?

Post one Kathy...I wanta see you!!

[thevintagepiper]

You look gorgeous, Grace!!! I haven't been on here long but that's just how I pictured you in my mind.


Piper--The most recent pictures you posted both look great. You have a lovely smile.

Thanks :)

That's a fantastic idea! Most of what I have made recently is in a container on a ship crossing the ocean at the moment though....moving.

[Petrarch's Love]

Maybe I'll start a thread up in general chat when I've a spare moment. Where are you moving to that involves an ocean voyage?!

[grace86]

Did you really picture me that way Piper? Hmm, I wonder how many others thought that. But then maybe I am a bit of an open book :lol: haha..that was a joke :D Thank you for the lovely comments.



I can't help but notice you still haven't posted a pic, Robin...;)

Guess I am not the only one who noticed that. I think you have some explaining to do Robin...green suits don't cut it very well. I am usually very good at bothering people to do something...shall the threats start now?! :D


(By the way Piper, in case I forget - Happy Birthday!!)

[RobinHood3000]

By all means, start threatening. Exercises in futility are marvelous for your abs and biceps. :p

[grace86]

Hmm...you carry a bow, I think if I start threatening you it will be the arms that get a work out...shooting all those arrows at me.

But on a more serious note, I think you should post a picture...come on, if I can post a picture, anyone can do it.

[thevintagepiper]

Dubai, in the UAE. Our working date at the moment is August 6th, and my dad is already there.

Well, I see your point Idril, but there is something very intimidating about it for me. I hate and are ashamed of my appearance (yes, I am weird) and to post a pic like I would like to do requires quite a bit of bravery on my part.

Look at it from the bright side, if you hate your appearance, it's a fact all of us here will like it a lot better then you. :)

Unless, are you by any chance a turnip? Is that why you are so afraid to post a picture. I promise I won't eat you. :p

[Idril]

That is a very good point, Aimus! I know it can be intimidating to let people see pictures of you, that's the allure of the internet for a lot of people, that sense of anonymity it gives you and I certainly don't mean to encourage you to do anything you aren't comfortable but I do want you to know that when you are brave enough to post a picture, it will be recieved well. :D

[Petrarch's Love]

Dubai, in the UAE. Our working date at the moment is August 6th, and my dad is already there.

Wow, that sounds like a big change--quite an adventure. Have you been there before? Do you have family there?

[thevintagepiper]

I have been there once, when I was four....I don't remember anything except a BBQ in the desert, but that doesn't matter since it is changing very rapidly.
It's growing and developing so fast; it's crazy! They are building man-made islands, an underwater hotel, and the tallest building in the world. They already have a 7-star hotel and an indoor ski hill for when you want to get out of the 120 F degree weather.

My dad got a job there and I already have a few acquaintances living in Dubai. He was laid off here and it beginning with a very nice company.
I am looking forward to it a great deal, but there is much that I will miss here in Michigan, USA.

I hope you will enjoy your new home Piper. Are you flying? (or are you tucked away on a ship in the atlantic with internet access?) And when Piper?

[thevintagepiper]

Yes, Piglet, we are flying. Actually, my dad is an airline pilot. (He won't be flying us, though I have been in a small jet with him before.)
We are planning to leave August 6th but it is not a set date yet.

Hmm, Themis, I can't decide whether that picture is cute or ... cute. :lol:
Still haven't picked up the difference :p .

[AimusSage]

I just don't understand this obsession about babies. I mean, how are they cute? They're all wrinkly and completely disproportioned, cry a lot and aren't housebroken, they smell, need lots of attention and want to grab everything they see.

I like people a lot better when they are about 20 or so years older. :) Especially the female of the species. The transformation from wrinkly baby to beautiful woman can be astonishing. I never understood why pretty girls feel the need to show baby pictures of themselves, they are all infinitely cuter now then they were 20 years ago, but somehow they want us to associate them with wrinkly, crying babies that smell. How does that help anything????

It must be genetics. :goof:

[Themis]

Hmm, Themis, I can't decide whether that picture is cute or ... cute. :lol:
Still haven't picked up the difference :p .

:D That's because you can't use the " ... cute" term on a girl, that's reserved for guys. :p

@AimusSage: I only posted that picture because Pendragon was talking about how "young" everybody looked. Try younger than that! ;) Besides, I was a very cute baby. :D A little small, maybe but not wrinkled.

[AimusSage]

Alright if you say you weren't wrinkly you weren't wrinkly. I take it you admit to all the other acts of babyness? :p

[Themis]

Alright if you say you weren't wrinkly you weren't wrinkly. I take it you admit to all the other acts of babyness? :p

Next time, I'll make sure to tick off everything that has been said. You are all so fussy. ;)

[Rachy]

Urm...Yeah... Bit of an update in case you guys have forgotten me :(

[TEND]

Ahh, Rachy. Very lovely photos indeed.

[kilted exile]

On the subject of the "cute"/"... cute" debate. I think cuteness is definetely more of a term to describe women. Any guy happy to be referred to as cute imho has a screw loose somewhere ( I prefer to think of myself as ruggedly handsome ;) )

Whereas girls should strive for cuteness (as opposed to hotness, which is something different all together) anyway enough rambling heres a photo

[Idril]

I think the word "cute" can be used for either guys or girls, I think of it as someone who is physically attractive in a non-threatening way as in someone you see as attractive but not necessarily someone you would want to shag. ;) Much like the word 'adorable'.

Kilted Exile, you are so cute drinking your bottle. :p

Like a "pretty boy," is how I think of it. Cute can apply to guys but I wouldn't say it to them, and I would be attracted to that kind of guy. I think. I've often been wrong on that subject.

Again, nice pics.


c

Try Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/) a free image editor. It has a resize and resample option under the image tab. You can choose predetermined sizes (common ones like 800x600) or enter whatever size you desire.

[Rachy]

lovely Rachy:)

[RJbibliophil]

lovely pics, all round.

On the cuteness topic, I agree that it is cute generally means adorable. Although I am not included here, I often hear teenage girls referring to this or that boy as being "cute", although I doubt they would say that to their faces.

[Koa]

Hey...so many new faces! (and many new nicks for the absent me!)
I'm especially glad to see Petrarch's Love, it took a while to find her pic but I was curious :)
Hey, all this makes me feel like to post a pic as well! :o Maybe later...

[Koa]

So there we go...

Koa in Kiev (http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=100b3015wh2.jpg)

This next one is weird, I took it one day when my hair was looking cool (it's now shorter than in the previous pic) so not to get it wasted I took a self-pic which I kinda like since I think it looks dark but I also have a stupid look on it cos I was trying to train myself at keeping my eyes open in pics...

These are wonderful, Koa!

[kathycf]

These are a couple of sort of random "jigsaw pieces" of me. I had posted them before somwhere else as just sort of a little image editor fun.

I said a bit ago that I would post a pic, so these will do until I find one of my whole face. Clicking on the thumbnail will open a new window with the full size image, that is if you care to see a full size image. :)

Great pics, Koa. You're looking good. :) Sorry my pic was so buried. It was nice of you to look for it.

Very surreal -- ever hear that song Blue? :p Pretty (and laid-back -- I'm never going to forget that hammock picture) as usual, Chava?

[thevintagepiper]

I just moved to Dubai, three days after my last solo and band piping competition. I placed first in Grade III (first photo)....

The second is when we'd just landed in the Emirates....

The third is what everything looks like here. Huge, tall, fancy, and modern.

[cruciverbalist]

Congrats, vintage! And the pictures look great!!
How do you like Dubai?

[Virgil]

Great pictures Vintage. Glad to know you're doing well.

[thevintagepiper]

Congrats, vintage! And the pictures look great!!
How do you like Dubai?

Thanks!! I really like it here. It will probably gvet harder with missing people and such, but I haven't really had time to think. Everything is new and interesting and likeable so far!

[Petrarch's Love]

Glad you've made it there safe Vintage. Great pic of you at the piping competition, and it's interesting to see the Dubai skyline. I had no idea it was so super modern looking. Good luck in your new home. :)

[RobinHood3000]

Piper! You're so youthful!!

[Koa]

Hey vintage one, nice pics! I think I've missed your arrival on this lively forum, so may I ask about this Dubai thing? Have you moved there or something? From where? Just curious, as by the way I am known for being quite a traveller myself... A friend of mine was in Dubai but just for one day, so I know that it's all so big and modern there but still it's a very peculiar sight!

[thevintagepiper]

A friend of mine was in Dubai but just for one day, so I know that it's all so big and modern there but still it's a very peculiar sight!

Thank you all!!

Yes, I just moved from the Detroit area to Dubai. We've always traveled a lot, as my dad is a pilot; and he has wanted to work in the AP for some time. I've been to quite a few Arab countries but this is so much different from everything else!

Lucky you piper to have traveled so much, would love to hear what it is like to live there! I've seen so much in the news recently regarding The Palm, Deira development. The culture there seems to embrace so many others, it's obviously a very rich country and open to so many different nationalities that you see the influences of them all.
