Thank you to all the brave souls who posted a photo. I love looking at you and seeing faces - behind the words and thoughts and poems and Haikus...really fun! I promise to post a photo soon, but I am a nervous wreck. I always hate my photos. I am hunting through my files to find something that won't scare everyone! :flare: It is hard competing with all these beautiful people. Really I mean that part...young and pretty. I am 56 and trying to maintain my youth.
:D OK, if you twist my arm I may do it. But there won't be a big dog licking my lips like some people post or funky muffins:D

PS: how do I post it without it turning out to be huge like some people have done? I don't want you to see every wrinkle and pore on my face....:D

Hi Janine. You can edit your picture for size using an image editor or even the paint program included with windows. (if you are using windows, I guess). I use Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/), a free image editing program.

Just so you know, those aren't called wrinkles, they are character lines. :D

I have Adobe Photo Deluxe on my hard-drive, but I just tried to post a photo on another thread uploading it from my computer directly - one I took of a flower in my garden. Ok, I fixed the photo and sized it down, but it still must have been over 100KB. It got small, also. It would not post. How do I get it to be under the file size without losing all of the detail?

Can you use a URL from Yahoo pictures or Snapfish?

Thanks Kathycf, I like to think of them as "character lines", too. Actually I don't really have many of them - I am lucky that way. Well perserved I suppose.

You would probably need to check the policies at those sites about linking to hosted images, but I think you could use their url for your image if it is hosted there. Just enclose the url with the "img" tags (the little picture when you make your post...looks like a yellow mountain type thing) If the image is large you could always do a thumbnail of it. The code to use would then look like this:

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/kathycf/thumbnail.jpg

Just to remember to enclose code with the " [ " symbol as in the example pic (near the quotation marks on your keyboard) and not the parenthesis mark. (did I spell that right? :lol: )

I am not familiar with Photo deluxe, so I am not sure. I use the "resize/resample" option in Irfanview and it seems to preserve the quality pretty well. The only thing about that is it does tend to make the file size larger (but not the image size) but that is easily remedied by opening the image in MS paint and then saving it again. Maybe if one of the other forum members knows about that program they could help you with that.

Hmm, I took it to mean like a computer geek type of thing. OZ?

Thats right Kath, I find it quite interesting that Virg did not know what that slang meant, I always thought BOFFIN was a very universal slang.

This gives me a great idea for a thread I'd love to start on the general page.
Oooooh, I love linguistics.:thumbs_up

People tell me I have lovely skin actually, but I say "makeup". Anyway thanks for saying I was beautiful. That made my night! You must look past the physical and see me mentally beautiful, since I have not posted a photo yet. How sweet of you! Your new Avatar has left me speechless - like "what?" Definitely eye-catching. Anyone we know? Is that you really in your Profile page. If so you are very beautiful yourself! :)

Janice, I am biased but to me anybody who loves to read has got to be beautiful, no matter what their "cover" happens to look like. I think that is how Lain knew that you were beautiful.

Braces are very cute. You can consider them jewelry for your teeth. ;) I find them endearing, myself - not unattractive at all (probably depending on their size, though :D).

Virgil

11-29-2006, 09:28 AM

Im so sorry for your loss Virgil. I had a dog who was with me from birth to 2 years ago and was devestated when she passed away. Your yellow labrador is absolutely lovely. And she seems to love her owner very much:)
Yes, she'svery affectionate. Especially when she wants something. :)

Come on, you people! What would be the attraction in the world when everyone would have been white? Personally, I feel that dark people are more attractive! And the brighter side is that they have less chances of skin cancer. :p

I love being mixture of Brown and White myself! :D And by the way who cares about the colour much? This is for those who think that skin colour is everything. :)

I don't have one anymore :bawling: my last pet/dog/hound was a miniature beagle (he got cancer) but I love the larger hounds like coons and greyhounds. In the past I've had a Rhodesian ridgeback hound and a couple of beagle harriers, they were such great companions when I went riding.

Everybody looks different, and why should you be afraid? If anybody dislikes someone based on just on skin color then I would think their opinion isn't worth bothering about.

I'm sorry about your loss. Yes, dogs are great companions everywhere. Sometimes when we go on errands in the autumn we bring our dog along just to sit in the car with us, she loves the car. Especially when we bring in the groceries and the car smells of food:p By riding do you mean in the car/bicycle/horseback?

Aww, braces aren't evil. A pain in the butt maybe. I had them when I was seventeen and got them off when I was nineteen. Just think of how nice your teeth will look afterwards.

I can never quite understand why so many of you people are hesitant about posting your pictures. After all if the camera doesn't shatter after focusing on my face which has been deformed by playing too much rugby, none of the rest of you should have a problem.

Well the reason I was hesitant was that people do react to appearnces and Im pretty sick of people thinking Im oppressed just because I choose to cover my hair. And kilted I cant really see how your face is deformed looks perfectly nice and normal to me.

Tee-hee! Well, as a very concerned uncle as you are would say (or said, already) no one's ever good enough for us! Hehe...But that was the part of the show where everyone is dressed casually.

I won a blue ribbon at the county fair for this photo. Perhaps it was the sheer size that impressed the judges; I had it blown up to 3x5 feet. Anyway, it's a picture of me, by me.

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o57/Jean-Baptiste/Sorce.jpg

It's quite deceiving, and looks like I'm wearing a robe and a cape, or saluting while holding a flag. It was taken on the sea shore, in my coat, with lots of wind, at the right hour of day, facing North East, with very fast film.

thevintagepiper

That's an amazing photgraph, Jean-Baptiste....I love it! I can see why it won that contest.

Lain, that's so cool that you're a model! You're gorgeous! Here in Dubai there are LOADS of modelling jobs, and they take shorter people as well (whereas in the states you generally have to be 5'10'' right?), so we've been looking into that.

Hey thanks a lot, Piper! (I can't thank everyone enough..) :) As a model, you're just as good as your latest project so I'm trying to make the most out of it. :thumbs_up It's hard work too (watched America's Next Top Model?). It's not all pouting and walking on the ramp: YOU'VE GOT TO SELL THE BRAND. And if you don't, out you go. Models have to remember that they are the image of the brand they're endorsing and acting on, so even if you're as famous and well-renowned as Kate Moss who did drugs while still on contract with Burberry and Christian Dior, the people behind the product, and the people in general will hate you as well. :( It's hard.

In America, they take models as short as 5'8" as long as they can carry the dress well (during fashion shows, that is), but it goes without saying that height is still an advantage. In Europe they're more strict in choosing their models. I'm just 5'7" but if I wear 4-inch heels, then that makes me 5'11", which is quite acceptable internationally. :thumbs_up Hope I make it there soon, though. :D :D :D *sheepish*

Oh, face! I have a photo of my face in my profile. It was taken several years ago, and I'm told that I look much younger now (I don't know how that works, I reached the age of 24 and started going backwards) so I guess it's me at my oldest.

Thank you very much, piper.

In America, they take models as short as 5'8" as long as they can carry the dress well (during fashion shows, that is), but it goes without saying that height is still an advantage. In Europe they're more strict in choosing their models. I'm just 5'7" but if I wear 4-inch heels, then that makes me 5'11", which is quite acceptable internationally. :thumbs_up Hope I make it there soon, though. :D :D :D *sheepish*

That's awesome! And thank you for the advice as well. Do you mind if I PM you about this?
Always remember that all of us lit-net people are rooting for you whatever you do! We'll love you even if you don't make it big in the modelling business ;) :)

This is a "remember when?" picture. It is Martha and I about three months before we married on December 21, 1979. In this picture, we are both 18, as I wouldn't turn 19 until November 24. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/MarthaDale.jpg http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/liebe/a045.gif

Awwww that brought such a smile to my face Pen:) It is the sweetest picture i have seen on LitNet. You too look so lovely together! In ahead of time, Happy Anniversary! A toast (of apple juice :D ) to a wonderful couple, may they have many more happy years to come! Congratulations. Plus, you really gotta love that cowboy hat:p

Thanks :) Yes, I am interested. I'm very petite, only about 5'2.5'' but as I said before, they take many different heights/sizes here. A friend of mine who is my size was offered a job with Bareface, the biggest company here.
My avatar is Sherri DuPree, the lead vocalist in my favorite band, Eisley. All the people in that band look like models, seriously :P But most of the most gorgeous people in this world aren't, and I think that's a great thing.

Are they thinking of being basketball players? In our country, it is almost a given that tall boys are to become players, as it pays a looot! :)

Hey, Piper! Tall models grace the runways, otherwise, they become print or commercial models, which is pretty cool because it pays more..:D

Wow, you can make that out? Yes it is. I set that up in the living room because my wife was complaining that I spent too much time on the computer. So this way she can watch TV while I play on lit net. Now she complains I'm too absorbed with the computer and don't pay enough attention to her. :lol: I can't win. :D But you can see we have to keep covers over our sofas because Brandi has privildges. We used to never allow Sasha (our previous dog that you can see in my first lit net photo) on the couches. But we got soft with Brandi. We didn't realize she would grow as big as she is. She's a hundred pounds, which is about 45 kg. But she's not fat.

Thanks all on the compliments.

You know, basketball was my thing, I played well into my 30's, often with guys half my age, where ever we could rent a gym. I was well known for a plethora of trick shots: an unblockable hook, hook from the foul line, shoot without looking, etc. Neither of my boys were ever interested. I held the foul-shot championship at work, and had about a 70% 3-point shot rate. I can still shoot, but I can't run the court now! :)

Dogs have very erratic behaviour I guess. And, I dont like it when the owners let loose their dogs, so that they can go out on their own and come back whenever they are done. The owners dont know what these dogs might do to strangers. I was walking down the street one day and I saw this pommerian who was doing his own thing until I passed by, and he suddenly got onto me, started barking and it seemed as if he'll bite off my leg. I froze, didnt know what to do, I would have died there and then, but somehow I survived. :(

No, they don't and it is wrong and unsafe for both people and dogs for irresponsible folks to let their dogs roam. Even a little dog like a Pom can have a sharp bite.

I guess I am biased, I have always loved dogs (most other furry creatures too).

Yes, poetress - do post you photo...a real one. I was super shy at first to post one. Now I might post another later from a different perspective. Everyone on Lit Net makes me feel so at home that I just decided I had to be honest and post one. Try taking the photos yourself. I did that...it is a little tricky but can be done. You can play with the camera and get a lot of bad ones, but eventually you will get one that will turn out in the end. I had to delete a lot before this one. I hate pictures of myself. I always seem to smile funny but this one I got ok. So far I have gotten good responses. So poetress I am sure you are pretty...not to be hated at all....:)

***Thank you, everyone for your nice compliments!***

:D Hey, Virgil how many times now has your photo showed up on this thread? Quite a celeb you are! Everyone is quoting you, and alas - the photo pops up again and again. Yes, I agree with someone who said "better to have hair with gray, than no hair at all"...many men are losing theirs at your age. You are fortunate.

Drama, my hair is not really 'reddish' as the photos shows...more light brown, and now it is a little shorter, too. BTW, Virgil, my old hair also has many thin white hairs mixed into it...and V ..glad you like big glasses, but actually these are not as big as they seem to appear in the photo. Maybe photos fatten things up..who knows? They always fatten my body up -ha!:lol:

Lain, it is a photo of a man floating in space - a Christlike figure. Actually it may be Dali's idea of himself, not sure, but above him is his real wife looking down on the floating naked figure with hands outstretched...sort of a sunflower/sun behind him - of course all is open to interpretation!

Laindessiel

12-17-2006, 02:51 PM

I can't see where their heads are. Looks to me like someone is wearing a BIG balloon skirt and is floating on the water with lilies and water plants around him. All I can see human-like are outstretched hands and feet.

Sucks I don't see the real thing. :(

Pieta is a term used for an artwork that depicts the virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. It's can apply to both painting and sculptures.

...At least, I think, I'm not 100% certain on this. :)

Pieta is a term used for an artwork that depicts the virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. It's can apply to both painting and sculptures.

...At least, I think, I'm not 100% certain on this. :)

Yes, that is the definition of the term. But now I have gone to my friend's Blog to check out the painting. Here is what he has listed:

#170. Pieta (formerly "Ascension"), 1958
Oil on canvas, 45.3 x 48.4 in, 115 x 123 cm
Coleccion JAPS, Mexico

So it seems we are both correct. The title now is Pieta.

It looks like his wife, Gala, overlooking the figure. One wonders if Dali saw himself in a heavenly light as Christ. Of course this is all open to interpretation. At any rate it is a magnificent painting. To stand in front of it one is in awe. I was there and I know.

Wow, now that I understand it, it's a wonderful painting.

:D Hey, Virgil how many times now has your photo showed up on this thread? Quite a celeb you are! Everyone is quoting you, and alas - the photo pops up again and again. Yes, I agree with someone who said "better to have hair with gray, than no hair at all"...many men are losing theirs at your age. You are fortunate.

I guess I've been popular these last few days. :blush: I'm thankful for my hair. Most of my childhood friends have either thinned out or are completely bald. Except for one friend who looks forever young, I might be the youngest looking out of the bunch.
