Thanks Night. Yes Mediterrainian. Italy is in the center of the Med. Lord knows I probably have Middle eastern, Greek, Spainish, French, Egyptian, North African DNA all mixed together. That's to my advantage.

Yeah, we do!!
Well, what can I say. Either she's becoming more human like or I'm getting a dog face.

Definetly she's more human like. I wish all humans had the wonderful, forgiving personality of a canine companion!

There are so many wonderful new additions to this thread that I will have to go back and keep editing the links!

Thanks on the hair. No the pictures were taken sometime this year. The wrong date was on the camera. Actually I don't like those date things. It was never set and never turned off apparently.

You all look good xD I like all of you.
I need some encouragement to post my pix, tho I don`t take shots (I barely take pictures of myself).
I will try as soon as possible post pix of me..
*Editted*: I didn`t mean YOU encourage me, sorry.. I just need to talk to myself for sometimes :P

Oh thank you poetess. Please post your picture. I'm sure you're quite attractive, and unlike what your avatar says we won't hate you.

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!***
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!
So...you 'non-picture posters' don't be shy. If I posted, and so can you!

I liked the photo of the guy, with his family in WV - such a great picture!

The towels on the floor are because of Brandi. She likes to steal them out of the kitchen and bring them into the living room.
Drame is right. You and Brandi both have the same expression!
That's not bad; considering the both of you are cute and adorable.

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!

Wow, you're incredible, Uncle Pen! Hooks! That's my forte...hehe...But I can't do a decent lay-up.
And 70% on-the-rainbow-country shot rate was amazing. Can't say more, Uncle Pen...You're beauty, brains and BRAWN...Harharhar...

Finally Janine! You are prettier than I expected you to be! I sort of imagined you to be a little chubby because of your avatar...
You're beautiful! I like thr color of your hair!

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!
