Lit Network Photoalbum.

[Janine]

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.

Virgil, :thumbs_up good for you looking young. Yes, you have been "in the news" quite a bit this past week on Lit Net! I know a lot of guys your age that are balding and receeding and some even have white hair. I think you do look young, but then I am 10 yrs plus older than you, so I don't think of your age as old at all...I would trade ages with you any day....age is all relative, V. Thought you would tell me that I don't look nearly 56 (soon to be 57). Yikes -I can get senior citizens discounts some places. AARP keeps sending me applications and I tear them up. I think of myself as not much older than a college girl.....well mentally, anyway.

Is that Dali painting something wonderful or what? I saw it in person and it was quite large - really awesome and impressive and evokes deep emotion. I could not stop staring at it, but I was familiar with the painting from my friend's blog and so had studied much of Dali's work before attending the show. I still was mesmerized with this particular painting. I love the expression in the hands. This painting is glowingly beautiful! I think it is my favorite of his.

:santasmil I am decorating our Christmas tree right now, so have to go...some Haiku... maybe later... Bye....J:wave:

[Virgil]

Oh, Janine, I do not think you look 56 at all. You look at least my age if not younger. You can easily pass for someone in their 30's.

[Janine]

Oh, Janine, I do not think you look 56 at all. You look at least my age if not younger. You can easily pass for someone in their 30's.

Virgil, are you pulling my leg - me - in my 30's? Maybe 40's, but not sure about 30's. My son, Sean is 33! :lol: Thanks anyway for the compliment since,...... I was sort of fishing for it.


Haha!:D

[dramasnot6]

I agree with Virgil Janine, you do look much younger then you "claim" to be! :D How many kids do you have? Post up a family photo! I'm sure they all look as wonderful as you :)

[Virgil]

Haha!:D

No really I'm not pulling your leg. From the picture I see no wrinkles and no grey hair. I see nothing there to indicate 50s. 30s/40s, if you have no grey, how can one tell the difference. Maybe you ladies are better at that sort of thing.

:lol: Reminds me now of a scene in Antony and Cleopatra. Cleo asks a messenger from Rome how old Antony's wife looks and he answers thirty, which makes Cleo stop in her tracks because she is older. Hahaha.

[Janine]

I agree with Virgil Janine, you do look much younger then you "claim" to be! :D How many kids do you have? Post up a family photo! I'm sure they all look as wonderful as you :)

Drama, dear, I think I am old enough to be your grannie :lol: My only son, Sean, is 33; he got married last year...been with his girl now for 9 yrs. They both are such a handsome/pretty couple. I am hoping for a grand-baby - maybe next year - my figures are crossed.
:) Thank you for the compliments....both you and Virgil. It's true that I don't have a lot of wrinkles (took after my mom that way), but up close I do have tiny white hairs mixed into the light brown. My hair is layered more now and it just makes it look lighter - so I am lucky that way. If it goes all white I might consider dye or a rinse, but for now I like it lighter. I will try to post a photo from my sons wedding. I have to find one I really like - we have tons of pictures.

Hey, Virgil, you said you use Photobucket. If so, what format do you pick to post a picture? I tried all three, one at a time, to put the Nutcracker card back into my Signature and it keeps saying weird things about "invalid file" or "file too big". The photos is under 100 KB - in fact around 46KB. I can't figure out what the problem is. I want it to be about 2 or 3 times larger than it is. At this point I am frustrated with it and my. :crash:

There was a choice that said for forums. I don't know if it can work in the signature space. I'm no expert, not even competent, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. Have you asked Logos?

[Janine]

I haven't seen Logos around lately. I tried searching for her and can't seem to find her. Do I just email her? I did use the format for forums and copied the address down and pasted into the URL space but it did not work. Can't figure out why. I will try tomorrow to email Logos, I guess.

Yes PM her. She should be around tomorrow.

[Logos]

I'm often around, you just can't always see me ;) Janine, are you having problems posting a picture in a post? or a picture in your signature line?

[Logos]

To post a pic in your signature line:

Step 1: upload the image's url (starting with "http://www") from photo hosting site like photobucket, or from your computer.
(maximum size 500 by 100 pixels or 19.5 KB, whichever is smaller)

Step 2: click the "Insert Signature Picture" link under the pic to make the {SIGPIC][/SIGPIC} codes show up in the sigline text window.

Step 3: Click "Save Signature" button.

[dramasnot6]

My school just sent me my School Photo in my horrid uniform.I'm rebbeling in it because I'm not actually allowed to have my hair down:p

Step 3: Click "Save Signature" button.

Hi Logos, thanks for finding my inquiries on here. I am having problems uploading the picture to add to my signature. I have a photo in there presently of a drawing I did, but it is so small. I really want to make it at least twice the size, if I can. I think the file for the larger size version of the same drawing was about 47KB, so that might have been the problem. Do I just copy and past the URL out of the Photobucket site and if so which format - the one for forums, right? Now how do I get my photo reduced to under 19.5 KB. I have already reduced the resolution a couple times and it still is not low enough.

Thanks for your help! Janine

Drama - so that is you with the pretty dark hair. You're a doll. You look like my cousin used to look when she was young. You are a very pretty girl. You should try to post a larger photo soon in the postings. Don't be shy. I hardly noticed the uniform. I was looking at your sweet lovely face, nice lips and eyes. Ah to be young again! :D

:blush: Thank you for the lovely compliments Janine! You dont need to wish to be young again. I think theres no such thing as beauty on the outside, one is only truly attractive when they are beautiful inside because a smile and eyes reflect one's soul. That type of beauty is timeless, nothing or no one can take away the beauty of someones eyes and smile. So no need to worry Janine, you have a very lovely soul and therefore a timeless beauty:)

Drama - Our feelings and thoughts are totally mutual. I can tell about your lovely soul, D, from your writings - so sensitive and observant of life and people. You are really a good person and so nice and considerate to everyone on Lit Net. Someone once told me "the best thing you can put on your face is a smile." I have always remembered that and I believe in it! Most times when one is friendly to a stranger, they immediately respond, and are friendly back. If only the whole world could think that way. There is too much isolation out there. Lit Net is nice because it brings together people with similiar interests and sensibilities. I love it so far and finding so many new friends like you. You are sweet and beautiful, too. :)

[miss tenderness]

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.


so it's Dell! yay, but mine is newer and not black,it's silver.
You know Virg, when I was in college ,we had a genius professor who couldn't have a normal marriage because he was so addict to books and his libraray. He told us that his wife was complaing about this and then she couldn't saty anymore. He did his best to get over this but he couldn't and his wife left him. It's nice when you are addict to things that people around you also addict to them. This way there is no bothering and the vice versa. When I saty with the family and they see me spend most of my time on the Net,it really bothers them,but what can I do:lol: I really enjoy it!

Janine, wow, you look so beautiful. I loke your nose:)
Drame,sweety, you seem like a student who I'd love to teach.

[toni]

Aww.. what a Pretty Girl my alien sister is! What beauty! :D That photo was worthy of all Praises combined! :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up

[dramasnot6]

:blush: Aww thank ye toni dear! The compliment was especially wonderful coming from such a lovely alien as yourself :D But your wonderful flattery wont make me forget a certain promise made before i left for putting up your own pic! I have full confidence that youre as gorgeous as your heart is, and give you my full support for putting it up :)

I would love to be taught by you Taleen! It would be a wonderful delight to have such a sweet teacher, i think ive already learned plenty from you just on LitNet even :D

Aww thank you so much Janine! :D I'm also extremely happy to have made a friend like you:) Such great people here on LitNet.

[Logos]

Janine, its no, prob, glad to be of help :) though I'm not sure why you want such a large version in your sigline that will show up with every post? The version you have now is 70 X 100 pixels, 3.03kbs, so the max height you will get with that image, because, if you notice, the dimensions for sigline images is (width) 500 X (length) 100 pixels. (For example my sigline image is 495 X 39 pixels or something.) The low height but long width dimension is so that signature lines don't get too huge and 'overpower' actual posts and 'clog' threads with too much scrolling due to huge siglines which is usually frowned upon in discussion forums.

Or... what you could do, as I did for my sigline image, 'creatively crop' a long narrow section of it, again to fit the dimensions, working from the original/largest version of your drawing (make sure to save your smaller/cropped version as a diff. file so you don't lose your original though!)

The photobucket link you use for siglines here is the "URL link-Email & IM" one.

[Pensive]

Nice photos, dramasnot6, Janine and everyone! All of you are very pretty! :)

Hey dramas,

You look like a very sweet young girl - not more than 14 or 15? And very Indian? Are your forefathers, by any chance, from Asia?

[Laindessiel]

DRAME, you are one gorgeous lady! I love your hair and your sweet/mysterious smile. I wish we wore that uniform too; you know, the little tie and the dark coat. Makes one feel superior. ;)

And Janine's right. SURPRISE anyone with a smile and chances are, you'd get a smile back and made his/her day. :):););):):):):):) It's the only power we've got!

[dramasnot6]

Thank you Pensive! I'm the very old age of 14 :) My father is Indian and my mother is half Spanish and half Russian. What is your heritage?

Thank ye so much Lain! What a compliment coming from such a beautiful girl as yourself :D Trust me, you wouldnt want this uniform. It doesnt make you feel superior in the least, just really...really strangled. The teachers pay no attention to academics and all attention to how much jewelry you have on and whether your shirts tucked in *sigh* :rolleyes:
Smiles are wonderful things! Very,very contagious :D

Hi Logos, thanks for all your help. The reason I wanted the picture a little bigger (even twice the size would be fine) is that it is a card I designed and did in ink for Christmas a number of years back that I recently scanned, and I wanted to say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone with it....I would add the greeting to my signature line. This picture of the card is showing up just postage size now (I think even smaller than my avatar) and one can't really make it out too well. It is quite detailed ink work of the Nutcracker Ballet. I will just use it through Christmas, do you think I can get it to be smaller file size if I reduce the resolution? Can it be visually twice the size it is now? I can't elongate it at all. I see what you did with yours, but that won't work in this instance.

Thanks again for all your help and explanation. I have to go out holiday shopping now, so will check this thread later on tonight. Thanks ~ Janine

[Logos]

Janine, no, it can't visually be twice the size it is now, the *only* way you can make it bigger is by making it longer, it is already at the max. height size-wise (I measured it in my photo editing software, its 70X100 ) regardless of resolution, the file size is teeny tiny already, 4kbs.

You could post the original size in this same topic and still have the tiny image in your sigline but also have a hotlink to the large version in your sigline.

I see my sonnet was still true even if based on a mistaken picture... http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/engel/g080.gif But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you, dear? http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/konfus/g040.gif

[dramasnot6]

Aww thank you Pen! :D Every syllable of verse that you wrote for me remains deeply in my heart no matter what, just because it was written by such a sweet dragon as yourself :)

[RobinHood3000]

Aww, Drame, you look perfectly charming!

[dramasnot6]

Thank ye kindly Robin :D

[Janine]

Thank ye kindly Robin :D

Drama - what sweet compliments you gave me in the haiku thread. You are a dear one, and a good new friend, too. I love being on here and meeting so many nice people. I like your uniform picture, but you are probably even prettier in person, and I would hate wearing a uniform, too. I imagine your long hair is so thick and lovely. And you have such dark beautiful skin and eyes. I like that little twist to your smile. I could tell it was a point of rebellion.
Drama, were you the one on Haiku that said they liked my nose? Yikes, I have always hated it. I never thought of it as my best feature. When I was young, I thought it was too big and I was self conscious of it all the time, how funny now to think of that . I don't of my nose as big now, but still it's far from the perfect nose and I would prefer a different one, but I am stuck with what I have. Best thing, that I said before, to put on one's face is a big smile!:D That is why we have a variety of smilies on this site. We must all like smiling, right. Lit Net must atract smilers....that has got to be it. :lol:

Logos, thanks again for your attention to my problems of posting the sig pic.I see what you mean about height. I guess what I will do is put it into the body of the text from the hosting site in some posts nearer Christmas. I just would do it as we posted our photos in the Photoalbum site. It just needs to be larger for a few days or so to wish Happy Holidays to everyone. I will try it soon and see what happens and then just paste the address in each time...a little more work, but that's ok. I can't crop it to fit a longer format - that would ruin the design altogether. I won't make it too big. Another idea is to put it in my profile picture or to link it to a blog as you suggested. I did not start a blog on Net Lit yet, am going to after the holidays.
Thanks again, I appreciate it! ~ Janine

[Logos]

I guess what I will do is put it into the body of the text from the hosting site in some posts nearer Christmas.
That sounds like your best bet, and after all this discussion.. can't wait to get a better view of your artwork! :)

[kathycf]

Nice pictures Drama and Janine. Drama, you do look a little rebellious in that pic.;)

[Janine]

Thanks Kathcf. Did you post your photo yet?

[Janine]

That sounds like your best bet, and after all this discussion.. can't wait to get a better view of your artwork! :)

Thanks, Logos, and I hope to make a blog soon with more examples of my art. It should be fun to make it up but need better scans and photos and that will take me a little bit of time. I will tackle that after the holidays.

Have a good night and thanks ~ Janine

[dramasnot6]

Nice pictures Drama and Janine. Drama, you do look a little rebellious in that pic.;)

:D Thanks kathy! Really glad you think so;)

[Janine]

Drama, I like your avatar and the photo in your profile page of the book with blue, is it petals, scattered on the pages. That is quite interesting. Did you take these photos or find them online? They are really moody and striking. I, also, like the one in your signature. All are great photography and nice composition, with a gentle sensitive mood to them. Very nice choices and they go well together.

[Janine]

This is just an experiment to see if it will place my photo in the text..... http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/sealace/NC4.jpg Wow, it worked. I will have to paste it in each time I post.

Happy Holidays everyone! Love and peace to all of you ~ Janine

[Pensive]

Thank you Pensive! I'm the very old age of 14 :) My father is Indian and my mother is half Spanish and half Russian. What is your heritage?

Welcome to the fantastic fourteen (hope it will be fantastic) league, man!

I got the idea of you being Asian from your picture. You are a bit brown and have black-ish hair which I think are not common amongst Americans.

My grandparents from father's side migrated from India in 1940's something, used to live in Lacknow before that. You might have had heard of this city in India. On the other hand, my mother is a Punjabi.

[muhsin]

We are waiting to see Janie's pic. Soon?

[Virgil]

Thank ye so much Lain! What a compliment coming from such a beautiful girl as yourself :D Trust me, you wouldnt want this uniform. It doesnt make you feel superior in the least, just really...really strangled. The teachers pay no attention to academics and all attention to how much jewelry you have on and whether your shirts tucked in *sigh* :rolleyes:
Smiles are wonderful things! Very,very contagious :D

Don't underestimate the importance of appearence, especially neatness. Kids in their school uniforms always have a special appeal for me. It makes them look more sophisticated. I can't stand the sloppy look that is so popular these days. I think you look quite nice.

Now that really sounds like an old fogey talking. :lol: A fourteen year old is entitled to be somewhat rebellious. ;)

BTW, Drama what type of school do you go to that requires uniforms, a religious school?

[dramasnot6]

No, every single school in Australia requires a uniform. Be it public, private, unisex, monosex, religious, non-religious, etc. There is no school that doesnt require it. Not one. I've even met homeschooled kids who were encouraged to wear their uniform while taught at home! I go to a private school here, but all 12 years of my life were spent in a public one so it is a new experience. The government schools here are rather atrocious though here, i tried one out for a day when coming here and kids were having food fights in the middle of a math class. My private school is the only non-religious AND unisex one in the entire city i think. What type of schooling did you have Virgil?

[dramasnot6]

Hey virgil! look at that, its just us online! :D

[Virgil]

I went to public school, Drama. I did not have to wear a uniform. I probably, no definitely, would have rebelled. I was a rebellious teenager. But I think uniforms are good idea. So much of kid's energies go into a "look" that I think it takes away from learning.

Just Us? Don't tell anyone. :D

[dramasnot6]

I can definetly see you as a rebel Virgil! :D I actually think freedom of dress enhances the learning experience, it opens up your mind and lets the teachers fully concentrate on the curriculum and classroom behaviour. I too thought it might be a good idea upon arriving here, but after experiencing both i find i very much miss the freedom. In theory it's good, but in practice the entire school body has to put lots of time and energy, more so then deciding what to wear for the day, in maintaning and enforcing a proper uniform that it really isnt worth it. Takes away from the juicy stuff, the learning :D;) For me no degree of neatness is worth being exposed to less knowledge :)Of course, many of my peers disagree :(

That's what the schools here are like as well....strict and sophisticated uniforms for all.
I'm a homeschooler, and therefore an exception :p

[Pendragon]

:) Lainy, my hair is not that reddish, but thanks anyway. It looks different in different lights, I suppose. Now it is getting lighter all the time (due to mixed in white hairs, don't tell anyone - haha - I am getting to that age you know). This is one of the rare occasions I took a photo and liked it... of myself. Had to trash a lot of them, and not easy taking one's own photo. Thanks for the lovely compliments. Good you can't see my waist and hips - they are chubbier than I would like them to be. I am only 5' so can't put on any weight without it showing. Just how did my avy make you think I was chubby...just curious to know?


Hey, now I am popping up all over again (like Uncle Virg) - see that's the thing with posting photos of yourself - you have to see yourself coming and going!:lol:Come now, Janine (lovely picture, BTW), if Virgil and I have become the Uncles here, then surely there is a need for a sweet Aunty? Aunty Janine, the tiny poet. Anyone else think that sounds good? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/liebe/h030.gif
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Pendragonwithpipe.jpg BTW The pipe is just for show, it helps me think when I write! :)

This is exactly how Indian schools are, not even a single school that doesnt has a uniform.

I wouldn't like wearing a yellow uniform as a matter of fact, especially in Summer. But thank goodness, school uniforms here are not yellow, or red... So I agree! Schools should have a proper uniform. :)

[Janine]

No Pendragon - two Uncles is quite enough. I just want to be one of the girls, please. Even my daughter-in-law calls me Janine and not Mom. I prefer it. I feel young. You and Virg can be the uncles and guide the young ones. Let me be an equal and yes, a tiny poetress. Thanks for the compliment on my photo. Someone asked when Janie was going to post a photo. If they mean me, please be assured I did so - about page 115 now...a few back. We have been busy on this post these past weeks! Did Logos post a photo for real? I have not seen it but if so tell me what page.

Happy Holidays everyone. Love and peace to all of you! ~ Janine

[Virgil]

No Pendragon - two Uncles is quite enough. I just want to be one of the girls, please. Even my daughter-in-law calls me Janine and not Mom. I prefer it. I feel young. You and Virg can be the uncles and guide the young ones.

I don't mind being called Uncle by the young, but I don't actually prefer it either by everyone else. I kid around that I'm old, but i don't want to be reminded. ;)

Janine, Logos's photo is her avatar.

[Logos]

Janine, Logos's photo is her avatar.
Yup, I think I'm one of the few around with a real pic of me as avatar although I know its kinda blurry :p

Janine that's lovely pen and ink(?) work, and Happy Holidays to you too! I just finished all my shopping today and relieved that that part of it is over with, I hate shopping, now time for the fun stuff.

[dramasnot6]

Drama, I like your avatar and the photo in your profile page of the book with blue, is it petals, scattered on the pages. That is quite interesting. Did you take these photos or find them online? They are really moody and striking. I, also, like the one in your signature. All are great photography and nice composition, with a gentle sensitive mood to them. Very nice choices and they go well together.

Aww thanks Janine! I dont take any of them but i collect photos and drawings of books off the web. I dont think there's anything more beautiful and photogenic then a book:) If you ever want a new pic of any kind I'd be happy to give you a nice one of a book ;) I like your avatar too! When i first saw it and didnt know what it was, it was great fun trying to figure it out and making up all these stories behind it. :p :thumbs_up

Logos, I thought at first that was your real photo, but back awhile ago you never said it was - when the thread was first started. I think you are very pretty and attractive even if you show up blurry in this photo. One can tell how you basically look. And you are so very nice, too. Thanks for all your help, and as you can see, I did manage to post the drawing actual card size, but I have to post it now once in a while (for this week) since I have to paste the address in each time. Really that is no big deal - I have it saved in a program for quick reference. I think it might be overwhelming to put it my post body too often, so it will be posted periodically.
Thank you for your compliments. It is pen and ink and done with a fine point rapidiograph pen (technical pen). I have not done this for years, but I am hoping to get motivated to begin working again. I say this with shame, I have had serious "artist's block". :( This site stimulates my interest once more - so many creative people here. Sometimes one feels so isolated when creative minded. Not here!
See you around the post.... J :)

Drama, well you have great taste in photos, girl! I right click all the time on net photos and have files and files myself. I am kind of addicted to copying now and saving everything. I have a lot of art files categorised by artists on disks. Thanks for the offer of a photo. I might take you up on it sometime. I probably should have put a nativity or another artist's work pertaining to Christmas in my avy for now, but I was too lazy to change it and too busy with holiday stuff to have the time.
Well, true, the Dali painting was a bit of a mystery, but that made it more fun in a way. When someone posted it full-size, in his post, everyone went wild over it. It is something to see in person. So completely mesmerizing and impressive. Glad you like it. I always liked yours. I like photos of books, too. I love books, period! and old books are great. Your avy fits the forum perfectly! I have some old books tied with a ribbon just sitting out looking interesting in my room. They are tiny old volumes of Shakespeare plays; I found them in the "give-away" bin at my local library - what a find! I thought they are "precious little treasures". See, we think the same way, Drama. :)

If they mean me, please be assured I did so - about page 115 now...a few back. We have been busy on this post these past weeks! Did Logos post a photo for real? I have not seen it but if so tell me what page.

Now that I see the detail, that is gorgeous Janine. Really beautiful.

[Gordon Comstock]

Janine, COOL ART!!! I couldn't make out the second dancer from the little picture, very meticulous. I enjoy line art I think more than four color.

[miss tenderness]

Yup, I think I'm one of the few around with a real pic now time for the fun stuff.

It's a pretty avy,Logo. You look so beautiful and intelligint. I've always loved your avy.

Until we saw the beauty that reflects her as a whole

[toni]

Aww.. Thank you very much for your compliments, Janine. :blush::blush::blush: Yes, I'll tell my brother.. I guess he will blush too! :)

Courage is the only thing, dearie Toni, my cutest sis. :) See, they like you!

[toni]

oh, geez, man. I didn't "darken" the photo. That's how it came.. I think it needs some lightening..hold on........:D

[Janine]

I like the photo as it is. Toni is so petite and so adorable. I knew it from her posts and her haiku's.

[RobinHood3000]

Aww, toni, you are pretty!!

[Pensive]

Wonderful photo, toni! :)

[ShoutGrace]

Yay! Three cheers for the most courageous and unreasonably timid pretty young alien around. ;) :D :thumbs_up

I suppose I will now have to keep up my end of the bargain . . . *sigh* Okay.

Good photo toni. :D

Happy Holidays everyone. Love and peace to all of you! ~ JanineActually, the many who call me "Uncle" keep me feeling young, because I have always enjoyed the company of young people-- you can sometimes learn a lot from them by being part of the gang. But your feelings are certainly respected. Not only a tiny poetess, but a gifted artist as well! That is lovely! And so delicate looking, like the dancer from The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Your gifts are amazing! :thumbs_up :)

[Pendragon]

Aww.. Thank you very much for your compliments, Janine. :blush::blush::blush: Yes, I'll tell my brother.. I guess he will blush too! :)

For the Brother of Toni

Will the brother of the Samurai and The Flower
When he grows up into a man—
And seeks the pathway he must travel
Come to know and understand...
From the doorway of our parents house
The road starts—it does not end
The hours spent with dad, mom, sisters, even a mouse,
May come to be a treasure to hold within.
Your path yet undecided may lie ahead,
But the wisdom gained from family is without price
One day you may take your own son by the hand
And give him the same words of advice.
The ones who love you most are those you cannot afford to loose:
And it will help guide the step you take along the path you choose

Pendragon

[TEND]

Aww, Toni you look adorable!! :D :D I'll never understand people's severe apprehensiveness towards sharing their lovely pictures.

[Janine]

Pendragon, what nice compliments. :) I need inspiration - I have lost touch with the art field and most importantly, my own work. I need to re-emerse myself in it, or try to do small projects like this one again. I have others you will like even more. This actually is not my favorite, but is my Christmas card, so it applies to now.

Sometimes we lose faith in ourselves. You can all probably relate, as all writers/artists can. We are not so different....we are all sensitive and observant of life, nature, beauty, etc. This site is putting me back "in touch" with people who think like me and my true self, and I am grateful. After Christmas I hope to make up a blog of my artwork. I have so much I can show, but need better photos or scans of some. The lit net will be my vehicle to have a one man/woman show, right?

Pen, I enjoy your poems - so personal to the people on here. That is really nice. You are their beloved Uncle.

I like being just "Janine" and "tiny poetess" is cute, since mostly I have posted Haiku's and some short simplistic poems, so far. I am tiny, too, just 5'.

Your self portrait photo I saw in the your post before. Such an inquisitive look. So what is with the pipe - just for effect like Sherlock Holmes or what? I read that you said you don't smoke it really. You are funny!

[TEND]

Well Janine, if your first beautiful artistic display is any indication of whats to come I simply cannot wait :D .

As to the pipes. I collect some, oddly shaped ones are my favorites, but of course I have my Holmes and Gandalf pipes. I quit smoking years ago, thank God, and the pipes have not been lit, the meerchems still pure white. I hold them in my mouth to help me think as I write. I write short mysteries for John Olsen's The Shadow Magazine in Review Website where we keep alive the pulp magazine/OTR character "The Shadow". I have published about 35. You may find some in the bad pages of the Brainteasers Thread under games. I have a short story posted on the pulp characters, if you'd like to read it. Click the link at the bottom. Keep up the fine art and poetry! Pen. :)

[Janine]

Tend, Thanks so much! A friend of mine made me a blog, but I never added to it. It is just a photo of me from awhile ago and something short about me being an artist and then a few photos of my artwork I sent to him via internet. Sadly, I could not figure out the formatting and the photos needed to be reshot or scanned, and I put it off. I will look into it after the holidays. I hope to make a better one on this site and maybe the Yahoo site as well. It will be a challenge and fun! Time to get back out into the art world. Too much time has lapsed. I did not think my work would hold up on the computer but so far I have had good results. Thanks so much for your compliments. 4 intense years of study at a notable art college apparently did pay off.

I sent this Christmas card through the mail many years back and have some copies left, but now the cabinet where I have them stored is jammed and I can't get it open presently. I suppose this can entice everyone to see my other stuff and hopefully will inspire me. I need that - all artists do.

Pen - thank you again - I don't know if I have rare talents. I gave up trying to sell my work years ago although I got good responses and some did sell. I now look at it now as expression to please myself. I thought it was so nice that you made up poems directly personal to the people on here. Real sweet of you.

:) I meant to tell you I like the photos of your sons. Good looking boys. I have one son and he is 33 now, married and launched. I am hoping for a grandchild someday soon. And please do not then call me "grannie"! Only the grand-kids can.

Interesting collection - pipes. I have had a few, selling antiques, but nothing as exotic as you mention. A Gandaff pipe would be so cool and a Holmes pipe - great! Glad to hear the pipe is but an ornament and not an addiction. Better for your health. Good for you quiting! :thumbs_up

:alien: I have heard of "The Shadow" - wasn't that an old radio broadcast? (of course I am not that old) I will check out the links you have provided. They sound interesting. Thanks and you keep up your good work of creativity and writing, too!

[Laindessiel]

Wondering where my left hand went, Mads? I'll give it to you...:p

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o149/Laindessiel/PFWeekwithIda1.jpg

[Janine]

:wave: Ok Lainy, can you explain this photo to us. :goof:

[RobinHood3000]

...her right hand went away!! :eek: :bawling:

Still looking lovely, though, Lain. Peculiar limb situation notwithstanding.

[Laindessiel]

:wave: Ok Lainy, can you explain this photo to us. :goof:

Hey Janine! Obviously, you haven't seen the other photo that was similar to this that I posted a week back (it was also during the Philippine Fashion Week); and Maddie said that my left arm was nowhere to be located! So I posted this photo to prove to Mads that indeed, my left arm exists and that I'm no alien. :p (No offense to My Dear Aliens...:alien::alien: )

Thanks Rob, and...uhh...now that you've mentioned it....hmmm...I see...seems like my two arms refuse to be visible at the same time! :D

[Pendragon]

Wondering where my left hand went, Mads? I'll give it to you...:p

[Laindessiel]

The David, Earl of Pendragon, has now added a new talent to his growing list of it. How can you become a seer? http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/a075.gif But I'll have only succeed if I tug the heart of that man behind me. :p Unless ofcourse, if I had yours...

[Madhuri]

A very nice pose...;) I'll have to agree with Robin, where's your right hand?? :p and I say you are the 'Star' of litnet......:nod:

[Laindessiel]

The Baddie of LitNet has just complimented me! *hides the boxing gloves away* http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/n022.gif

[Laindessiel]

And when have you not had mine? http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/a020.gif

My brother is actually thinking of joining the forum just because fo your poem. I said "No! The people there only talk about books!" and then he says, "How come Uncle Pendragon has written a poem for me? It's not a book."

I rest my case.

[Janine]

Lainy, daaaling, what a knock out you are!!!:brow: :eek2: (one arm missing or not) I am certain the other arm exists. Cute pose, anyway. Hey girl, is that part of the hunk in the photo that you droll over - Mr. M? If so I can see why. Thanks for clearing up the story of the missing arm for me. I did not know who Mads was. Commendable to see a beautiful girl with a power brain included - multitalented and sensitive.;)

[Misscaroline]

Alright, Lain. You asked for it. The one and only Miss Caroline:

[Poetess]

Virgil and Janine, thank you alot!
I just took some photos by my PC camera! lol

OMG! I will try to take a full pic of me.. I promise

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j8/bleakgoth/faaaf.jpg

[Janine]

Missc - you are so pretty! Lovely smile and such a beautiful head of hair and shiny and healthy and young. I envy that youthful hair you girls all have. Mine has thinned out with age.:bawling:
And ms Poetess - Is that a very strikingly, pretty girl I see in that photo looking down, so pensive? You must look up and let us see those pretty dark eyes and hair.
Glad you both got over being shy and posted. What pretty people we have on Lit Net. :) You both could be models with Lain!;)

[Misscaroline]

Dunno about Poetess, but I'm camera shy. And even if I weren't, I disagee. Still, thanks Janine...:blush::blush::blush::blush:

[Janine]

Dunno about Poetess, but I'm camera shy. And even if I weren't, I disagee. Still, thanks Janine...

I am totally camera shy and always have been. It is amazing I got up the nerve to post my photo a number of pages back. Mine came out about the same size as yours. Your's looks perfect! Nice photo.

[Koa]

Wow, Poetess, I love that style!
I've always been too lazy and shy to have a style lol.

Nice Koa. Laziness will get you nowhere, unless you're on a bus, at which point it gets you everywhere on the route and nowhere else. And thanks Janine. I liked it, even if I am too shy to ever EVER opt to do that again... Next time I willingly go to a photographer, it will be for my wedding, and that's only out of tradition....

[Koa]

Nice Koa. Laziness will get you nowhere, unless you're on a bus, at which point it gets you everywhere on the route and nowhere else.

LOL I like that. Don't tell me about laziness, I have books spread out in front of me but I feel forumy... and the days go by and time with them and deadlines get closer even if they are far but I want to be in advance because I know I'll be busy with other things :( :( :( :(

[Misscaroline]

I'm sorry... I know how you feel. I have to play Santa-Wraps-Alot over the next three days, besides cleaning, packing, and homework...:gag:

[Poetess]

Misscaroline I`m really sorry, i forgot to comment! You look perfectly pretty :*

I am camera shy. Plus, I am somewhat shy in real life with people I don`t know well, yet communicative.


Janine, I don`t smile nor look directly to a camera because I really look ugly, but here I went and took this pic for you! :P

And BTW, no matter how old a person grows, an attractive smile and beautiful soul will always exist and show.

Koa Thank you dear xD. I couldn`t find your pic..

Oh I forgot to mention, i`m fat :P would never work with me to be a model! lool plus I don`t walk well xD

[Janine]

:yawnb: Beautiful Poetess - lovely smile and such gorgeous big eyes! Who called you ugly - get out. You are pretty and have a lovely smile too...so don't be shy show that smile of yours and often!
MissC- I am tired too - exhausted - can't even think straight now and I have to play Santa-Wrap too! and clean again - just lightly. Woman's work is never done, nor is student's!:sick:

[Poetess]

Thank you, incredible person.
I`m exhausted too, studies, students, plans...

Very lovely poetess!:D I love your all black outfit, very cool indeed. :cool: Perhaps a bit of my bias is slipping, my wardrobe is at least 80% black :p

[Koa]

Koa Thank you dear xD. I couldn`t find your pic..



My pic is buried at the beginning of this thread (page 21 - my hair is a bit shorter now but not much and the rest is accurate)

Really love that dark style btw, if I'm ever young again I'll go for that instead of dressing like a boy till the age of 18.... :rolleyes: As for the 'size', you're probably slightly thinner than me, I'm not a model size either but I completely stopped caring :) (except when nice clothes in the shops don't fit :()

[Poetess]

Koa!!! yeah!! I did see you and I liked you, now I remembered, very spontaneous.. I also wear glasses though not all the time


dramasnot6 Where`s it? xD I mean your picture? kisses dear

[dramasnot6]

Mine is on pg 118 i think....

Janine, you look like a very kind-hearted lady, such a welcoming smile :). My mother is your age, and you do look younger. I think it's your bright eyes :nod:. Nice to have you with us here ! :wave:

Poetess, I like your hairdo :nod:. Is that the LitNet page you're focussing so intently ? ;)

Miss Caroline, do you work as a model ? Your pose looks very professional.

[Koa]

Oooh have you seen! Scher has organised all the pics! :eek2:
She must have been very bored LOL ;)
Thanks Scher, it's easy now... too easy lol
Nice to see some pics I had missed! :nod:

Well, hello, Miss Caroline - you look beautiful, love!! I knew I had good taste in Forum Crushes!! :D

[Stanislaw]

Oooh have you seen! Scher has organised all the pics! :eek2:
She must have been very bored LOL ;)
Thanks Scher, it's easy now... too easy lol
Nice to see some pics I had missed! :nod:

Where?? I canna find them!

[Laindessiel]

Lainy, daaaling, what a knock out you are!!!:brow: :eek2: (one arm missing or not) I am certain the other arm exists. Cute pose, anyway. Hey girl, is that part of the hunk in the photo that you droll over - Mr. M? If so I can see why. Thanks for clearing up the story of the missing arm for me. I did not know who Mads was. Commendable to see a beautiful girl with a power brain included - multitalented and sensitive.;)

Whohoho! Now YOU flatter me too much Janine! Now I realized that arm or no arm, I'd still look very existant. http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/engel/n020.gif And yes, the guy behind me is Mr. M (not the guy in the photo, okay? I guess he couldn't be seen much from that angle. :( He was standing behind me.)


Alright, Lain. You asked for it. The one and only Miss Caroline:

...I can't figure out how to get it smaller. If anyone has any advice, I'd be happy to shrink it...:blush: I still can't believe I'm posting this...

See? See? See? I TOLD YOU! YOU have a killer smile! I have powers of which you know not, Miss C! You're such a beautiful person. Seems to me that you love that picture taken. :p


Virgil and Janine, thank you alot!
I just took some photos by my PC camera! lol

OMG! I will try to take a full pic of me.. I promise

[Pendragon]

Oh I forgot to mention, i`m fat :P would never work with me to be a model! lool plus I don`t walk well xD My dear Poetess, you are a lovely girl! Fat doesn't equal ugly, and fie on any rat that called you that! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their underarms! I weigh 351 American pounds myself. Some call me fat. let them. When they try to match strength with a man nearing 50 and find themselves overmatched, they sing a different tune. Maybe they are jealous because you are a lovely desert rose! http://smilies.vidahost.com/games/bof/dragons/fdragon.gif

Haven't checked this thread in awhile, and now I find that Scher has efficiently catalogued us all too! (I didn't even realize I'd posted three pictures. Maybe I should take a couple down. :blush: ). But I was so glad to see some new faces.
Virg--I like the new pics of you and Brandi. She's really cute.
Janine--How nice to be able to put a face to the posts. You look just how I had imagined you, only younger! You have such a kind face, and I love your hair color. BTW, I also love your Christmas artwork in your signature. You're really talented!
Pen--That old picture of you and your wife is absolutely adorable, and your sons are very handsome. How old are they?
Lain and Toni--You both look lovely of course.
Poetess--I like the pic. of you facing forward best. It shows off your Mona Lisa style smile and your large, interesting eyes.
And I know I've missed mentioning some people, but everyone here is so charming looking that you can assume that I would have complimented you if I had the time. :)

[Nightwalk]

Thanks Laindessiel.

[Pendragon]

Pen--That old picture of you and your wife is absolutely adorable, and your sons are very handsome. How old are they?

Are they really that young Pen? They look so mature! :D I thought for sure both of them were in their 20s! I'm sure youve raised them to be perfect gentlemen like yourself :)

[Schokokeks]

Hehe, now there's the right one talking about maturity :p.

But seriously, Uncle Pen, your sons really look a lot older. Make sure they don't use their looks to access places they shouldn't :p ;).

[Laindessiel]

Tall people look older than what they really are and Uncle Pen's boys are 6 and a half-footers!

I always get mistaken for a 20-yr. old working female! Once I was in a mall with my brother (the one in the photo) and this saleslady kept on staring at us interestingly. She finally went to us and asked ME "Your son, miss?"
".........." Shock came in first and then "No no no!!! He's my brother! I'm just 17, miss!" Cursing inside...

I mean do I really look that old??? :brow:

Petrarch, how sweet to post a compliment to each of us.:)! Yes, you were very much missed. Did you have a good vacation? How was your holidays?
Thank you for your compliments, but for the record, my hair color is not reddish, as the photo makes it appear and now it is shorter, too, and probably has more white hairs mixed in the light brown throughout....shuuuu...don't tell anyone.:blush:
Also, a few posts back, here and there, I posted my sig picture larger with a Holiday greeting. It took me awhile to figure out how to do that. I think you emailed me the address of Photobucket. If so, thanks and thank you so much for the compliment on my drawing. I hope to make up a blog after Christmas to share some more of my work with all my friends on Lit Net. I appreciate your encouragement since I have had inexcusable :( "artist's block" for too long now. Hopefully this site will help me dissolve that.
P, where is your photo posted? I must have missed it somehow. If you tell me the page I can go directly there. I want to see what you look like. Otherwise I don't know how to locate it without going through all the pages...and now there are many, as you well know....and some really great photos...nice to see the faces behind the wonderful writings, posts, etc.:D

Hi Janine--I'm still in CA, so I'll continue to be in and out for the next couple of weeks. Thanks, I did have a lovely Christmas with my family. I hope you had a good Christmas too. I did see the larger version of your Nutcracker drawing earlier on this thread. It's very lovely. I'm sure we'll all enjoy seeing more of your artwork in the new year if you start up a thread. Hope we can help thaw you out of your artist's block too. :)

My pic. is posted on page sixty something (66?), but, if you're really curious to see my mug, it's easier to just use the new thread Scher put up entitled "LitNet Members Photo Album Directory." Everyone who's posted a photo is there under alphabetical order. One of the ones of me on there is the one I posted to this thread, and the other two I had originally posted on the stitching thread to show a couple of things I knitted.

[Madhuri]

Ok, here is one for my B-Day. Its me on a volcano.

Nice picture B. I somehow always took you as a girl :p

Hi, B-Mental, How funny...two people thought you the opposite sex....Actually I always thought of you as a guy from the start.
Neat picture. It is a little blurry, but you look handsome, I agree with Poetess. Can you reveal what volcano you are on?
BTW, I love that quote by Edna St. Vincent Millay - one of my favorite poets. Love her series of poems -"Fatal Interview" - difficult to find though.

[Schokokeks]

:blush: Thank ye cookie! :D I wouldnt think there'd be any problem with his sons trying that. Knowing Pen, he would scold them in verse form and that would set anybody straight :p
Yep, he probably would :nod:. I wish my daddy could rhyme :p.

But how come you're up on a volcano on your birthday ? :) Evading the crowds of present-givers and cake-eaters ? :D

Ok, here is one for my B-Day. Its me on a volcano.

Whoa. If you didn't say you're 38, I would've thought you were 35! :p No but seriously, your background compliments your looks: very macho and charming! Handsome, I must say. ;)

[Janine]

So, Lain likes macho. I like charming and handsome, too. Yes, I believe B-Mental likes photograhy...it is in his profile. He probably was photographing the volcano when he was up there...right B?

Hi Lain! How you doing today. Hi - everyone else before her! I may be leaving soon and be back on here later on tonight. Day is progressing here, but just wanted to say a quick hi.

So, when will some more people post some more great, pretty/handsome photos of themselves? I was thinking of one of myself this year with my hair a bit shorter (probably lighter from tiny white ones mixed in, too - sorry I don't have red hair, like my previous photo I posted). I haven't gotten up the nerve yet to post the second photo, but will soon.

Anyone have interesting holiday photos? Would be fun to make a thread of them... maybe? Just a thought.....

[kathycf]

Hi everybody.
More great pics, folks. I haven't checked this thread in a bit, so I missed the great pics being posted. Caroline has a beaming smile and Poetess looks very pretty, despite what she says in her posts...And B-Mental? :brow: :cool:
BTW, where is the volcano? Was that a vacation photo or do you live in one? ;)

Oh I forgot to mention, i`m fat :P would never work with me to be a model! lool plus I don`t walk well xD
Really? Well I am somewhat bigger than that so you seem slim to me.

My dear Poetess, you are a lovely girl! Fat doesn't equal ugly, and fie on any rat that called you that!
I agree wholeheartedly. Our bodies and faces are shells that we wear, they do not define who we are as people. Sure pretty and handsome are great and all, but I would rather know what your favorite book is. :)

Pretty close Janine. I was on a trip where I took thosands of nature photos all over North America. I take some great photos, but I ask someone to take a picture of me and it never comes out the way I would like. Actually ruined my camera on that volcano...sigh, on the lookout for another.

[kathycf]

B- that is great, going all over the country to photograph nature. Is that what you do for a living? My son takes great shots, too, but that is not his job. He actually takes good photos of himself on a self-timer. You might try it and see if you can get some that way, seeing your a good photographyer. He has many of his wife and himself. Sorry you lost your camera to the volcano. That is a shame.:(
Anyway, I saw Mt. St. Helens in Washington, but I was not as close up to it as you are. I was just below the large crater. It was awesome though. I saw the big lake with huge trees floating in it - they looked like toothpicks...it was strange there, like a moonscape. You appear to be right on the very top - how daring you are! :thumbs_up

Ok, people of Lit Net - where is MissC's photo? I am not sure I saw it yet. What page is it on? I want to see this giant photo:lol:

[Laindessiel]

It`s Complete Nonsense by Edward Lear. I had precious moments laughing for it was really, a complete nonsense.
Another one is Midnight Raiders by Keith Wilkerson that talks about cheribum trainees on Earth. The power of God, and what happens to those who disobey Him, including Angels. Yet, it`s a fiction.

I think there was a thread dedicated to pictures of your pets, but I could find it. So I posted these here.

A couple of pictures of Brandi. We go to an open field early on weekend mornings where we play fetch with a tennis ball. We also play a game where I toss the ball up a tree and she tries to catch it after it rattles around the branches. She's pretty good at catching it. Here she is watching the ball come down and then going after it.

It's a really good picture, but I think that it is a little too dark. ;) I remember I asked you about that picture you had as your avatar awhile back - was that you? Do you still have it? :brow: That was my favorite. Very festive/happy/cute. :)

Well, yes . . . I didn't see it the way she might have been saying at all. ;) :blush:




No. It's perfectly female but not everybody knows who Themis is, I guess.

I know that I don't - I know one Themis and that is enough. ;)


That's, of course, the point of it. I'll try to find another one of me in all my glory in a room fully lit up, just for you. ;)

:lol: I know - I worked hard to find a picture to post here that didn't fully reveal my face. :D

I look forward to the other. :)




Sorry, I don't remember at all. Could you be a bit more specific? Did I look good?

*I feel stupid as I write this*

Well, you(?) were definitely smiling, and it seemed almost as if you(?) had your hands out holding the camera? Or reaching out? And short hair. :confused: I think. I tried to search for that conversation here but I have no idea what to search for . . . you only had it as your avatar for a little while, which is why I was so disappointed to see it go. *sigh* I'll think about it more.

Don't feel stupid, please. I am famous for my short-term memory. I forget things even before I've said them. ;)

I'll look through the pictures I've got of myself. See if I find anything.

Hmm...A random, kinda old photo from me now. This is about 30 months old, but I love it so much I'll post it anyway. Apparently my eyes are my best feature...what do you think?

Shadowsarin, your eyes are gorgeous!

[SleepyWitch]

thanks for your compliments, everyone :)
:blush: I only look 'cute' with make-up on, though :) otherwise I look really scruffy and... yes, sleepy.

wow, is that your real eye-colour, Shadow? I wish I had green eyes (mine are hazel and although they are more greenish than brown they look brown most of the time

[Pensive]

thanks for your compliments, everyone :)

Though you look very nice wearing make-up in these pictures, but I think that you looked even more gorgeous in that photo where you were in England for a field-trip. It looked more natural without make-up. :)

[Poetess]

:( Uhm ... well. That one I've certainly not heard before. And I do not look like a male, thank you very much.

I meant no offence!

Sorry if any offence was taken

No, every single school in Australia requires a uniform. Be it public, private, unisex, monosex, religious, non-religious, etc. There is no school that doesnt require it. Not one. I've even met homeschooled kids who were encouraged to wear their uniform while taught at home! I go to a private school here, but all 12 years of my life were spent in a public one so it is a new experience. The government schools here are rather atrocious though here, i tried one out for a day when coming here and kids were having food fights in the middle of a math class. My private school is the only non-religious AND unisex one in the entire city i think. What type of schooling did you have Virgil?

Wow Drama, you're Aussie? Me too! I thought you lived in England (for some reason)!

[dramasnot6]

No, im not Auzzie Miss Darcy. Im American actually, i just moved to Australia 2 years ago. Hmm i dont know why i would sound Enlgish :D Ill take it as a compliment though ;) I didnt know you were Australian though! Very cool :thumbs_up

Don't worry about it.


@ShoutGrace: Found the conversation, didn't find the photo though. But it's got to be out there somewhere. ;)

Did you post a picture here? I would be interested in seeing that. ;)

[Shadowsarin]

My eyes seem to change colour depending on the enviroment. They can be anything from pale blue to the green you can see there. Most of the time they are a kind of grey colour. It actually quite uncommon they do go green, hence why I took the picture.

:banana: Cool. I'm glad you at least have a slightly better idea of what I'm talking about. :D It's not that big of a deal, because I have the photo in my mind's eye still - but it really was a great picture. ;) I think you would do well to post it if you find it ;) - or just make it your avatar again. :idea: :banana:

[kathycf]

Sleepy, I have curly hair too, I think I will have to adopt your hairstyle. Very cute...:)

Nice! I think a person's eyes are almost always the most interesting feature.

[SleepyWitch]

thanks Kathy :)
for me it only works when my hair is wet, though. once it's dry it gets veeeeeery bushy and I look worse than Hermione in the first HP film :)

[Miss Darcy]

I love curly hair! My own's naturally wavy, and I really like it that way but it's so hard to - well, tame...so I usually end up keeping it straight by constant combing while it dries/is hairdried. But curly hair is really...well, how to say it, angelic! :) Though I dare say it must be hard to care for.

[SleepyWitch]

Though I dare say it must be hard to care for.
that would be an understatement.

Very pretty eye ~Shadow!

Sure is! :D They really are wonderful, dogs. Like a member of the family, except you dont fight :p

[RobinHood3000]

Awww, how adorable!

I've never been good with pets. I can't even keep fish alive for longer than 24 hours.

[Virgil]

Sure is! :D They really are wonderful, dogs. Like a member of the family, except you dont fight :p

That is true. :lol: Only drawback on my pooch is that on weekend mornings she starts whining that she wants to go out at 7 AM sharp. She's got a perfect internal clock. But I would love to catch up on sleep, at least another hour.

[Idril]

Speaking of dogs, it's getting close to a year now that we got our Dobby from the shelter. We were told he was part Shiba Inu but there seemed to be no guess as to what the other "parts" were but looking at this picture...I'm thinking Chihuahua, what do you think?

[seasong]

Definitely. Look at that tail! That's crazy! Really cute dog though :D.

[Basil]

Part gremlin?

Hey! That's something I hadn't considered before but you might have something there. I definitely see a resemblance. :lol:

How funny! A friend of my son's doggy's name is Gismo.

His face does look chihuahua, but his body might be pembroke corgi.

how nice!!!!
everybody is sharing photos!!
I'll do the same....just have to understand how it works!

[Laindessiel]

Gosh Idril! Looks to me like your dog can anytime grapple with my face! :cold: Scary...

[dramasnot6]

Aww your doggy is SO cute idril! Look at that smile, such a sweetie :D

[Laindessiel]

Golly Drame, he's scary...

[dramasnot6]

scary? that happy creature? Naw...just excited and very cute. I love those "dog smiles" combined with the wagging tail, it makes you feel so optimistic :D

[Idril]

He looks scary, Lain but that's actually his 'happy face', as Drama pointed out, his tail is wagging. We were celebrating my mom's birthday that day and there were about 15 people at my house and he was beside himself with joy at having so many people paying him attention. He does look fierce sometimes but he's actually an incredibly sweet and good natured dog.

@Downing, I got a message telling me I had to log in when I tried to view your photo.

*edit* Idril your doggie is very cute and definately looks like some Corgi blood in there.

In the second picture it looks as if you are standing in front of a painting :)

That's so nice, Madhuri. The picture was taken in some Romanian mountains, at 1600 m. But the maxim height is 2519 in those mountains. The view is wonderful there. I am posting another photo with it. Sorry for the bad quality of the photo-it was made with a very old camera. But I will have a digital camera soon!

Downing, I had not seen this last photo. You look so pretty, in this one, particularly. Do I detect a bit of Vivien Leigh charm here? I know she is your idol. I love your velvet burgundy dress. It is very becoming to you -you look relaxed and so great in it. Wonderful dress for New Years. I don't think you have to worry about looking too old. You have that youthful type face and will keep it, no doubt, for a long time to come. To me you look so lovely and just right! All the photos you posted are really super. The mountains are so pretty, too, and the china in this photo interests me. Is it a family heirloom collection? One thing that really stands out in your photos, is your wonderful smile. I can tell you are a very happy person indeed!
Your friend, Janine

[downing]

Thanks Janine for everything you said. Nice, as usual :).
I don't know what to say about that ''Vivien Leigh charm'' which you detected... I wasn't a too big V L fan then; she became my idol just a few months ago and that photo was made some years before. But I always admired her and probably ''copied'' something from her acting.
Yes, the china is a heirloom collection since my grandmother's mother and my grandmother's wedding. Very old, indeed, and very nice :).
