Let do a pic thread

[MrScorpio]

Here I am a fifty-three:



Peering deep into your soul.

[NYC_SKP]

1. Working at work and enjoying it, just last week!

[KMOD]

20. who knew NYC_SKP

was so handsome?

[NYC_SKP]

54. !!!

[lovemydog]

40. You wrote a post last week that I really enjoyed

as it was exactly what I was feeling. You seem like a great guy NYC_SKP. Just wanted to thank you for the post re: Obama & FDR.

[NYC_SKP]

55. Hi!

Thanks! Imagine what Obama could do if we had a Democratic congress like FDR!

BTW, I lovemydog, too!

Millie is her name.

[lovemydog]

64. Hi!

Yes, if we had a Democratic Congress like FDR we'd have recovered from the awful recession much sooner. We'd also be closer to single-payer health care.

My dog's name was Angelina. Angie for short. Not long after I created my username she passed away. She was part aussie shepherd & part blue healer. A great companion.

I love all kinds of animals. Especially dogs & horses & whales.

Have a great weekend.

[frogmarch]

2. me 'n' my poodle Ty

today, on my 71st birthday! Yay me for surviving this long!

Mr. froggy and I had just returned from lunch at Pizza Hut, and Ty, who has SAD, was so happy to see me, he jumped right into my arms. Mr. froggy got a kick out of it and snapped a pic.

[KMOD]

7. Happy Birthday, frogmarch

[frogmarch]

9. Thanks!

It's been a good one. My kids and grandkids called, and even my 3-year-old great-granddaughter wished me a happy birthday over the phone. Plus, I had pizza for lunch.

[KMOD]

10. How sweet!

It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday.

[frogmarch]

11. Yep, and right now,

to top it off, I am scarfing down strawberries dipped in chocolate!

[KMOD]

21. I would kill to look like frogmarch

at 71.

DU has beautiful people.

[MADem]

30. You are a very beautiful lady! nt

[lovemydog]

44. Hey happy birthday frogmarch.

You look great and your poodle looks very happy too.

[steve2470]

48. Happy Birthday :) nt

[NYC_SKP]

67. Yay!

Happy Birthday!



You look great!

[NJCher]

117. I want to add my greetings

for a Happy Birthday, frogmarch!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

3. Me about 2 years ago

Sick as a dog and still looking good!

[KMOD]

22. You sure are,

Prisoner_Number_Six!!!!

[yuiyoshida]

4. I may regret this ...

[KMOD]

23. You young beautiful woman,

the only thing for you to regret is that you might get hit up on.

You be safe out there on the internets.

[lovemydog]

41. If I were in San Francisco I'd meet you at a Giants game.

But alas, I'm all the way in New Mexico. I did go to a few games there (Giants v. Cardinals) last year and had an awesome time. Also got to spend a day in Sausalito, which I really enjoyed. Have a nice weekend yuiyoshida. I enjoy your posts!

[PassingFair]

5. Me, right now!

[IMG][/IMG]

I'm an amateur at selfies!

[KMOD]

24. Amatuer? No way. Looks fantastic, PassingFair

[KMOD]

8. Here's me

[img]?1418344916461&1418344916788[/img]

[KMOD]

25. who's this troll? What an ugly man.

lol

[dawg]

49. If that's what trolls really look like ...

then, from now own, I'm looking under every damn bridge I cross!

[KMOD]

70. aw, thanks dawg,

lol

[cyberswede]

62. *snerk*

I remember that thread...unfortunately.

[betsuni]

36. What a nice long neck you have!

(I sound like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, that's weird.) Do you ever wear your hair up? I think it would look good, show off the lovely swan neck.

[KMOD]

37. lol

Yeah, I wear it up often.

and thank you!

[ashling]

78. Here

you're welcome

[KMOD]

83. but I like my red eyes,

I think they make me look, I dunno, really cool, red eyeish.

[ashling]

87. At first I thought maybe

you shot lasers out of your eyes - klatu barado nikto

[ashling]

87. At first I thought maybe

you shot lasers out of your eyes - klatu barado nikto

that would really be cool!

[KMOD]

90. well, maybe I do....

watch it ashling, I'm looking at you! lol

[CrawlingChaos]

102. You look a little bit like Jennifer Lawrence

At least that's what I'm seeing. In any event, lovely.

[KMOD]

107. You are too sweet!

I have a daughter her age.

[Jamaal510]

12. ...

[IMG]?v=1[/IMG]

[KMOD]

26. Looking so smooth, Jamaaal........

Love it!

[Jamaal510]

59. Thanks.

Your pic doesn't look bad, either.

[lovemydog]

42. Looking good Jamaal510!

I've really enjoyed many of your recent posts re: Ferguson and all those things. Appreciate your perspective & sense of humor too. Have a good weekend. (Maybe the Raiders will even put some points on the board, lol). My best friend is a Raiders fan & I'm a Jets fan. We laugh at which team is worse. They should rise again. Raiders and Jets both have great histories. I hope I live to see the day when they are both good again!

[Jamaal510]

60. I'm glad you

liked my posts, and yeah...hopefully both teams cease their periods of ineptitude. It gets boring seeing the Patriots win the AFC East almost all the time, and being a Raiders fan has been especially tough not only because of how long they've been irrelevant, but also having to listen to fans of other teams (e.g. Broncos, Chargers, and 49ers fans) pick fights and talk trash online.

[lovemydog]

65. Yeah, it just feels like the Raiders & Jets

should be in there battling. I keep dreaming that it will happen but it seems so far from any hope at this point. I mean look at these quarterbacks they had (Palmer and Sanchez) who go on and do well at other teams. That pisses me off, lol. Ah well, I still enjoy it all.

Have a great weekend. I'm going to a big rally tomorrow in New Mexico to oppose police violence. We've had serious problems with it here. As everywhere around the country. I will also be with the marchers in Washington, in spirit!

[Skittles]

61. I pronounce you a downright cutie pie

WOOT!!!

[Jamaal510]

68. Thanks

[pinboy3niner]

13. From May

I'm on the right, at the groundbreaking for a home for a wounded warrior in my community. Next to me is the high school teacher whose students created the project and raised the funds to provide a home for the Iraq War vet and his caregivers.

[KMOD]

27. pinboy3niner is the guy

you want to hang out with. I don't even know him, but I think I would trust him with my deepest secrets, and accept his advice as gold.

[lovemydog]

45. I love your warmth & humor pinboy3niner.

Keep on sticking up for veterans!

[pinboy3niner]

100. Thankyou

But I'm only a tiny cog here. I recently turned down an award because others deserved it much more than I. Fittingly, the award went to Mike, the guy on the other side of the teacher in the photo. One of my best friends and a brother I admire for all he does for vets here.

Mike does a hell of a lot more than I do, and I was happy to see his outstanding work recognized. And, though we didn't know it until we met many years later, Mike and I were brothers who served in different battalions of the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam at the same time. I saw him tonight at a fundraiser for a local wounded warrior, and we had a bit of fun ragging on each other. All in good fun among guys who truly love each other.

His name is Mike Bertell, and he's the one who deserves the accolades, not me.

As for warmth and humor, I think that is something I learned, ironically, from my war experience. To cherish the humanity of ourselves and others and enjoy sharing the humor we find in life. We have a lot of DUers here who get it, and try, apart from serious contributions to discussions, to keep the fun alive. I'm just proud to be among them.

[Aristus]

14. Looking good, Mr. Scorpio!

Here's one of me from about three years ago. It's the most recent one of me that I don't absolutely hate:

[KMOD]

15. I guess William Shakespeare took the photo.

I was hoping he'd be in it as well.

[First Speaker]

16. You know, you actually resemble the Droushout engraving, and the Chandos portrait, here...

...I'm beginning to get some very weird thoughts...

[Aristus]

52. Thank you.

I always liked the Chandos portrait. It makes Will seem dramatic and piratical. His expression in the Droushout engraving, on the other hand, seems to say: "Do we really have to do this?"

[In_The_Wind]

33. You have a great smile.

Oh, and a rakish look in your eyes.

[Aristus]

53. Aw...

[orleans]

17. all the pictures i this thread are adorable. here's mine:

[fizzgig]

18. make it so

[KMOD]

28. Love it, fizzgig!

[KMOD]

19. Those eyes, Mr. Scorpio, those eyes.

Gorgeous!

[Expat in Korea]

29. I made the mistake of uploading a pic of myself

to a forum of PhotoShop pranksters a few years ago.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL][URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL][URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL][URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL][URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL][URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[KMOD]

32. You are a spitting image of my friend Brian,

although Brian doesn't have a hello kitty tattoo on his forehead.

[Expat in Korea]

35. Well, I had it surgically removed.

[lovemydog]

38. That last one's kinda how I picture people getting

pissed off in General Discussion.

[Expat in Korea]

43. Heehee...

I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it...

[betsuni]

31. Okay, let do

I hope this picture comes out very small so nobody notices the dandruff on my shoulders and that the coffee I'm clutching is from McDonald's.

[KMOD]

34. I love it, betsuni

you are too cool!

[CrawlingChaos]

104. Cool picture, and I could never judge you for coffee

I'm that addicted. Besides, they tell me McDonald's coffee is pretty good.

[lovemydog]

39. Looking good MrScorpio!

[Recursion]

46. Me with my puppy

[KMOD]

47. OMG, how cute! You just won the thread!

Give it up for Recursion and puppy. So full of sweetness!

[CrawlingChaos]

103. OMG, is that a Maltese??

Sooooooo cute! Don't get me wrong, you're cute too, but THAT DOG.

I have a Maltese myself. He's 16, acts just like a puppy and he means the world to me.

[Recursion]

105. Lhasa Apso (nt)

[steve2470]

50. me several years ago (my best pic, by far)

[KMOD]

Great Pic.

[steve2470]

82. aw you are very kind

[DFW]

51. From 2 years ago, when we both turned 60

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Time has been kinder to my wife than to me, but she has paid her dues, too (cancer survivor).

[KMOD]

72. You make a beautiful couple,

Very happy that your wife beat cancer. She looks fantastic. You both do!

[DFW]

80. No one is happier she beat cancer than the two of us are!

I really don't look all that great, but her glow does cast a favorable reflection.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. You look great, my dear MrScorpio! Here I am, last year when I turned 70! I still look like this...

[KMOD]

73. Look at you :)

Beautiful inside and out. What a smile. Even your eyes are smiling.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. Aw, thank you, my dear KMOD...

You're too kind. It was my birthday, and a very happy day for me...

[steve2470]

[sir pball]

98. Wife and the chef at our reception..

Rebecca Wilcomb at Herbsaint in NOLA. We were a few hundred dollars short on our minimum at the end ofnthe night, so we got an exceptionally nice bottle of wine and invited her out

[KMOD]

[KMOD]

93. Cool, and happy belated birthday,

[darkangel218]

116. Cool pic :)

And Dying Fetus is an awesome band

[OriginalGeek]

118. lol you are one of the few I figured

would know what that was. Thanks!

[OriginalGeek]

120. I know that feeling

That's what got me on plane to go see Bolt Thrower in Baltimore. Just consider it a vacation and it's all worth it.

Watain are great live - you'll have a blast!

[OriginalGeek]

122. lol!

that's awesome. You know they went home and told stories of the great roadside rest stop murder lady!

[Callmecrazy]

We ended up with a bunch of these. LOL

[GReedDiamond]

85. Picture from today -- be ready to avert your eyes...

[KMOD]

86. Are you in a band?

I see your link to greensparklefrog.

This picture would make one hell of a album cover, or sleeve insert.

[GReedDiamond]

91. Yeah, green sparkle frog is my band...

...although I do get some help from my songwriter/guitarist/lead vocalist/bass player/keyboardist guy.

Actually, I'm just the drummer/percussionist, and co-engineer/producer, plus art director.

We are supposedly working on our second CD...so, I may actually use that pic on the inside somewhere.

[KMOD]

94. just? You are too humble GReedDiamond.

I'm gonna go check out your band's music on your site.

[GReedDiamond]

95. Thanks, I appreciate that a lot!...

...we are also here: http://www.reverbnation.com/greensparklefrog

On edit:

Since it is that time of year, please check out our Christmas song, "Here Comes Christmas," here's the lame youtube video:

[KMOD]

113. Awesome! Thanks for sharing that!

Such a cool work/office space you have there.

Love your very inquisitive eyes.

[AllenVanAllen]

[bluesbassman]

97. From a gig last summer.

I'm the one in front of the amp.

[KMOD]

109. Great picture!

I enjoyed the video of your band you posted the other week.

[bluesbassman]

114. Thanks KMOD!

Glad you enjoyed the tunes. Saw your photo upthread, love the long hair!

[pinboy3niner]

99. I love ALL the pics

Great to see DUers in all their glory...or not so much, lol! I gave up long ago on posting only the flattering pics, so here's one more, also from May this year, with me looking like a doofus. Taken at our display of a mobile replica Wall in Simi Valley over Memorial Day, with some of my colleagues and best friends. Who is that weird guy on the right?

[KMOD]

110. best looking and coolest

doofus I've ever seen.

Looks like you have a great, and fun group of friends.

[CrawlingChaos]

101. From a couple of months ago

We were decorating for Halloween, which is what all that stuff behind me is. That is my natural pallor, btw, not vampire makeup or anything

[KMOD]

111. You have a stunning profile, CrawlingChaos

Are you familiar with the lovely Ingrid Michaelson? Because I believe you are twins.
