R & R,

Quit drooling all over your keyboard.......
(Yeah, I backed my chair up, too.)

yah, I dug through my photos and am happy with the one I chose of myself.

Well....its the best shot I could find....

Well.....actually the head of HR where I work has a husband on CPAP and of course I am always sharing this site with CPAPers, so I am reticent about putting my less cartoon version of my photo up and having HR match up the posting time stamps with working hours, since I am salaried and "exempt" from things like "breaks".

But take my word for it, I am as dashingly handsome and young as my Avatar implies.....

One word is all I have for you: CHICKEN!!!

Look, Snork, if I could do it, you could do it. I HATE every photo I've ever had taken of myself and I just let it go and put one up. Please rethink your decision. I, personally, don't care if you have three eyeballs or five noses. It's a nice idea R&R had to actually and finally put the names with the faces.

Okay. Shutting up now. I apologize, it's your decision. Just thought I'd blurt it out and then say sorry...

Oh, my! I'm always a day late and.... I just figured out the avatar thing and now the rules have changed! Wait a minute - this really is me!
Pre-cpap, of course.

Seriously, I'm the photographer in the family and I really don't think there are any pictures of me anywhere. At least I'll use that for an excuse for now. Cluck, cluck!

(There's supposed to be a picture of my puppy here but when I uploaded the new "me" he got replaced. It does sort of change the meaning of the messages, doesn't it!)

Ok Sean I am not......so....since there are others who put their faces where their mouths reside, I, do, too....

Well, not that you're off the hook, but that is one sweet looking puppy. That being said, dig deeper into the pile of photos. I'm sure you'll find one!

That was an old work photo.....

Oh come on Tbone... keep looking I am sure that you can find a real photo!

Well, the avatar I've been using for the last few months is me from about six months ago (with my then-nine month old son).

Like Professorsleep I spend most of my time *behind* the camera so actual pictures of myself are few and far between. This is one the wife (also known as She Who Must Be Obeyed) happened to catch at a funny moment.

Funny because the shaved head was an experiment. I've had short hair since I was 17 because I used to be in the service and can't stand more than three or four weeks worth of growth. I got sick of paying $16 a month for two minutes in the barber's chair. Ok, stylist's chair since there are no real barber shops around here anymore. I went out to Sears and picked up a electric razor for the cost of about two months worth of haircuts. Anyway, I had been playing with different lengths and one day decided to go for a completely shaved look (before SWMBO came home from work). My son for some reason found it interesting, resulting in this picture. I've captioned it as "Hey Dad, I've got more hair than you" on other boards. I've finally settled on a "0" setting on my razor. That leaves just enough stubble that you can tell my hair color. Once a week to keep it from getting scruffy (I never realised how fast my hair grew until I took it all off and tried to keep it off).

Ok, too much information.

Snowdog,

My sons used to go for that shaved haircut, too. Then they went for the fades, spikes, gel-head do's. Now one is going for a "bed" head type of haircut and the other still looks like a Gotti boy and it at the barber twice a week, once for a "shape-up" and then next for a haircut. Talk about obssessed? As for my daughter, long with a few highlights and she's happy.

I used to be a licensed hairstylist many, many years ago but gave it up. Found it to be very difficult dealing with women and their appearances. And I can relate to how fussy they can be because I, too, can be that way. But I kept doing the men's haircuts because they USED to be less particular. After dealing with my two sons, espeically the younger of the two, I'm done doing anyone's hair. He's worse than the pickiest of all women I've ever worked on. So I went to and stuck with court reporter. Can't upset anyone in this profession unless you're plain incompetent or they ask you to fudge a transcript and you won't. A lot better than dealing with people's appearances.

By the way, I like your look. I think men with shaved heads look great. Sometimes it's better than if the hair is just not right.

I now have an avatar. Now I feel official!

Hey snowdog, you've got about the same amount of hair as I ususally sport!

When I had lost most of it on top, I decided there was no way I was vain enough to do a ridiculous comb-over (as if that fools anyone!) or even buy a rug (toupee), so I grabbed the razor and took it all off. I found it was much cooler inside my motorcycle helmet back when I was still riding.

Of course, I miss the person who used to do my hair. For almost 15 years I had a woman who would work topless because she couldn't stand to have hairs caught in her clothes prickling her. Darn, I miss that!

BTW, I echo other's sentiments; it really is wonderful to put faces to the names!

W H A T ? ? ? Is your wife a hairstylist, Bill? Well, I'm taking that as a joke THIS TIME so you don't have to tell me how gullible I am again. Watch, this time you'll be telling the truth, some type of X-rated salon in the red light district of the Canadian province where you used to live...

Sleep Pilgrim,
Way To Go!!! Thank you for being another who allowed us all to put a face to the name. It seems today that the men are emerging, unlike yesterday where the women came forward first. Nice to S E E you!!!

I was wondering how long it would be before someone would react to that.

Nope, no joke. I'm not pulling your leg this time. BTW, when you take a trip do you call it Gullible's Travels?

When I moved to Europe I took my barber with me. I brought her back to Canada when I returned, and then to Florida when I moved down here. Yep, my wife!

No formal training, but she can do most anything she puts her hand to. Amazing woman! Medical secretary. Assistant chef in a French restaurant. Ran her own custom cake and gourmet chocolate business (though I baked many of the cakes and made most of the icing, she did the decorating, I often delivered and did setup). Volunteer of the year twice at local schools. Done catering, set decoration and assitant director for plays. Etc. I get tired just thinking of what she does!

See, Bill? I'm getting better. Must be those oxygenation levels improving... that must be some marriage you have there after all those years.
By the way, I celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary next month, on the 25th. You have been married the same, too. Right?
