Is that really you peeking over your hand?


message 2052: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments Welcome to the group, real NE. Nice pic! I think you'll have just as good a time here as your alias.


message 2053: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
It's still an alias. Some old guy in his cabin in the woods.


message 2054: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments This is not you either?

This is Paul Newman's nephew. He's taking a break from managing the salad dressing empire (right up there with the Roman Empire, methinks).


message 2056: by Scribble (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments Gotcha!! NE is Newman's nephew. His alias is the teacher at school!


message 2057: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
Get it? NE = first letters of "Newman" and "New" = first words of New England AND Newman.

Brave New World, lads and lasses, Brave New World.

Are you feeling sentimental this morning NE?


message 2059: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
I'm always feeling sentimental -- and poignant, and bittersweet, and ruminative.


message 2060: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments A deep thinker then.


message 2061: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
Mid-level thinker. The bouncers would grab me at the door outside the Philosophers Club for sure.

Those blue, blue eyes. Somehow I don't think they're true blue, NE

You underrate yourself. Any one who writes has my admiration. I can't see my way out of a paper bag when it comes to 'riting and 'rithmatic. I don't do too bad with the reading though.

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments You're write, of course, Kitty. NE writes us all the time. Big stick, straight (and narrow lines). And I suppose we'll have to start eating diet-dressing, too!

(psst...Ruth? Do you mean contacts? Surely not. That would be...unethical. Unthinkable. Equivocal.)


message 2065: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments I eat diet dressing anyway. Lemon with a touch of olive oyl and garlic.


message 2066: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
Ruth, I cannot lie and I cannot wear contacts because my eyes go teary-wild, so I sing the blues naturally. It's about my only talent.

Meaning? Both eyes and hair are natural (I know as you know that people would KILL to have hair as white as ours....)


message 2067: by Scribble (last edited Nov 13, 2010 10:28AM) (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments You know, I'd swear since he's ditched his uncle he's definitely become more flirtatious playful! Forget the big stick, he'll be having the ladies all swooning in the aisles and hanging on his every word!

M! Where are you? Where's David? Ste-PHEN!!!


message 2068: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments Nah more open maybe, which is a milestone for a very private person.

You mean that's really you????

Debbie (sardonicprincessofcheerfulness) | 6389 comments Mod
I don't believe it either!


message 2071: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
Um... you guys are scaring me.


message 2072: by Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness (new)

Debbie (sardonicprincessofcheerfulness) | 6389 comments Mod
It really truly is! Welcome NE!

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments Who's zoomin' who, take another look, tell us NE
Who's zoomin who...oh
Who's zoomin' who, now the pics have got them spooked
they have, NE...Who's zoomin' who


message 2074: by Savvy (new)

Savvy  (savvysuzdolcefarniente) | 1458 comments I like you so much better in the cabin in the woods...it fits much better than Paul's picture, which always gave my heart a little start. He should still be with us...such a fabulous man!

You've helped ease my mourning NE...thank you!

And you are easy on the eyes all by yourself! :-)


message 2075: by M (new)

M | 113 comments What's happened? Has NE abandoned his former life and gone to the woods to live deliberately, to learn from facing the essentials of life so that, when it comes time to die, he won't discover in the end that he never really lived?


message 2076: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
The gauntlet has been thrown down -- it's time for a few others whose initials look mysteriously like "GN" and "M" and "SS" and "K-T" to face (at least partially) the music (that'd be L&G) in their profile pics.


message 2077: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments So a formal welcome is in order to the newest member of the ranks. For what it is worth I thought it was him ,but then I am gullible.Welcome to the new Photo of NE.


message 2078: by Scribble (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments Oh very well!


message 2079: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
Aren't we pitiful -- welcoming three-year members instead of newbies?

Well, we'll call it practice and call on all lurkers to PLEASE INTERRUPT THE NONSENSE by unlurking and saying, "Hi, y'all. I'm _________."


message 2080: by Carol (last edited Nov 14, 2010 06:59AM) (new)

Carol | 10410 comments My photo is so ugly, but here goes. Don't anyone laugh, in case you wonder I am the one with the rose.


message 2081: by Scribble (last edited Nov 13, 2010 01:58PM) (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments There you are! Happy now? Catch it while its hot because I prefer Storm-In-A-Teacup. At least that's closer to the mark!


message 2082: by Ken, Moderator (new)

Ken | 18714 comments Mod
Don't be so hard on yourself, Kitty. You and your man are a fine-looking pair.

In truth, I remember when you had your picture up before. You just wound up going back to the stretching "kitty" to match your nom de poste, is all.


message 2083: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments GN, you have a double life as Veronique?


message 2084: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments Archie's Veronica?

Initializing NE henceforth Kitty.LOL Thanks by the way. I have reduced by 20 lbs though.


message 2085: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments Well done Kitty! Soon you'll be showing the before and after pics!


message 2086: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments It is so slow Jan ,20 lbs in a little over two years is not lightening . hahahah


message 2087: by Jan (last edited Nov 13, 2010 03:31PM) (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments At least you're going in the right direction, Kitty! I've managed to slow the weight gain, or hold steady, but reversing it is incredibly difficult. I've joined a Zumba class, so I hope that will help.Perhaps we should move this discussion to Kitty's Korner, that is if you want to reply.


message 2088: by Savvy (new)

Savvy  (savvysuzdolcefarniente) | 1458 comments My profile picture is really me!...just many years ago!
A professional make-up artist, who was a friend, wanted to use me as a template for an actress he needed to make-up in the 20's garb.
I sat for about 2 hours for that and couldn't wait to wash it all off!
So you'd prefer something more recent?...I'll look around..right now have to go to a "Cowboy Themed Dinner" and need to dress up like a cowgirl!
I need to find something in the closet.....help!

Follow me to Kitty's Korner if you want.
Suzy grab a plaid shirt some jeans and a bandana and off you go.

Your photo is not ugly, Kitty. I like your smooth and simple hair style. Good-looking husband, too.


message 2092: by Carol (new)

Carol | 10410 comments Thank you I can not stand any hair around my ears or on my forehead. I think he is cute also even with less hair.


message 2093: by M (new)

M | 113 comments Suz, you look like an actress from the silent film days, with those big eyes, that sweet little mouth! I imagine there were young men who rushed to open doors for you, tripped over things, bent over backwards to be in the right place at the right time for you. And the one you married probably did none of those things, but just happened to be in the right place at the right time and had all the qualities you were looking for.

GN....not fair! You should have left it up for 24 hours! I missed it and I want a private showing.....


message 2095: by Scribble (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments This fiddle with my photo has totally messed up my profile! That's the last time I do that!

Here's a link to a page with the pic.

Debbie (sardonicprincessofcheerfulness) | 6389 comments Mod
A film poster! How disappointing....thought you were being as brave as NE and Kitty!


message 2097: by Scribble (last edited Nov 14, 2010 01:01AM) (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments Here's all I have to say about it :D


message 2098: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments That's why I asked if he has a double life as Veronique. The question only made sense if you saw the poster. It was quite a dark picture, and hard to distinguish in the tiny size that we have on our comments. But at least he's got his sparkle back!


message 2099: by Scribble (new)

Scribble Orca (scribbleorca) | 631 comments Thank you, dear Lady, even though not sparking on all fours! Someone stole my name tag!


message 2100: by Jan (new)

Jan (auntyjan) | 1259 comments How so?
