Frankly I am amazed and astounded I survived this long. I have not been the most careful of humans. In fact, some folks consider me a walking disaster. LOL! I've been caught in hotel sprinklers, knocked down store mannequins, tripped over a barrel (that's right one of the big barrels) of peanuts, lost control of a power tool and fell out of a tree. And that's just the junk my short term memory will allow me to remember.
Yet, here I stand. Almost 55. Not too concerned over life's valleys anymore. Live long enough ya pretty much get to a place where you say, "Well, hell. here we go again." And then you just roll right through.
Anyway Tumble began the idea on her board, then Barman reminded me accidentally. I thought then and now pics might be appropriate considering. Anybody else want to play? Cause I'd love to see your pics.
Me at 5. last at the table till the day I die, people. Count on it.
Me at 16. I can NOT believe I was wearing pink. GAK! What a priss!
Me at 49. The year I straddled the hotel sprinkler at 2am and the damn thing went off.
And now. Tickled purple cuz I get to eat cheaper at Bob Evans!
(btw. they have excellent deserts!)
The legs aren't so good anymore but, I still have two of them! What else do ya need?

Oh, no fcuking way! No way! You are *not* 55.
You can't be!
You look absurdly young and far too beautiful. Hell, you certainly don't act your age -- and i mean that in as complimentary a manner as possible.
Although you seem to have led an unbelievably active life. Knocking down mannequins, tripping over barrels of peanuts -- i have so much yet to do with my life, apparently...!
Seriously, babe, you're a knockout. My legs should only look that good at the tender age of 37.
Kisses

Buddah girl, Yes! Find them. It's also kind of funny to look at the changes over the years to me. Oddly one thing stays constant...me at the table eating. LOL!
Jam, Dude! I bet that IS saucy. My experience with the maniquin wasn't good. They're hard as rock when you fall on top of one. I had a bruise for weeks.
Minxy, Wow! Thank you, sincerely. I stay real busy much to Bob's dismay. Poor Bob. He really does need to catch a break from me. I fear I'm driving him right round the bend. LOL! But I have a good time, pretty much all the time.
hardasabullet. Welcome! and THANK YOU!
Suze, I did the blond thing last year cause I got bored. (Much better than the last thing I did when I was bored.) Almost all my experiences end with me in one kind of trouble or another. I have video tapes of some stuff. I'll post them eventually. Sadly, my track record for maturity is ....well, to be honest, non-existant. LOL!
Denny, all I can tell you is, the sprinklers were COLD! oh man, I was soooo wasted that night. It was free drinks all night. They had two colors (blue and yellow) and I had one color in each hand all the time cause I wanted to drink green.
Rox! I missed you before. Have you been up there all along? I'm so sorry!
Yes, you can share my desert and my taters too. I'll even get extra gravy. Seniors can do that.
wmy, actually I'm just now getting started. LOL! I have all kinds of plans.
Definitely put up pics. It's so fun to look at people's changing pics.
I'm waiting for bob to get out of the shower. We still have a full night ahead. The air conditioner guy was here alllll blasted day. But I still got my Mexican food. WOOT! I need to go do something while I wait.
Zen, dude! You're right! I forgot about that. OOOOOOO. Ok. Now I'm pissed.
Manny, judging by the luck Zen and I have had, I'd say you'll probably get vericose veins, babe.
That's ok. Least you'll have me to set the path for ya.
Although I seem to find myself a little depressed today. Yesterday was a tough one.
Let's see we got the Kennedy assacination; Vietnam War; Watergate; Nixon not being a crook and the resigning; OJ Simpson Bronco chase and trial; Micheal Jackson trial; etc.
Maybe it is just time to turn the TV OFF!
Sorry to hear you had a tough day yesterday Crabbs. Today will be better, just wait and see.
*hugs* for my favorite crazy buckeye.
Barman, baby, the whole weekend was interspersed with bad news. At one point it felt like bad news was coming from every direction at once.
I guess that's how life rolls though. One minute it's all good, the next you're either standing in your own ka ka or somebody elses. Or like in this case, it's just heart-breaking stuff.
But we move on. Or we get trampled by the heard, right? So on we go.
Mone, if you'd been with me this weekend you might have been a little bit ashamed of me. LOL!
Milky, are you sure you want it? It's got permanent nacho drips on it. And a couple of color stains from when my twisted DQ cone with sprinkles melted and I didn't wash it fast enough.
Rox, LOL! I would, nor could, ever ignore you, baby. And get your fingers outa my taters. I keep tellin ya, use a spoon!
I will try but I am not sure I really have pictures of me. Any more I am taking the pictures and back then, well back then my parents took slides ... wait, I do have at least a couple around graduation from high school, maybe more. I will see what I can find but I am not promising anything.
