I was kidding... I know posting something like that would go over like a lead balloon here.

I know how to get members over here. I'll retitle the thread -- "Revealing Photos of Alty." Or "Alty, Up Close and Personal."
I'm German, and I was raised Lutheran. But remember, I didn't come to Canada until I was almost 4. My parents were in their 30's when they moved. In Germany nudity isn't a big deal. Nudity is a fact of life. The naked body is nothing unusual.
We went on vacation often, there are many beaches in Germany. There's not one vacation picture of me where I'm dressed. I'm on the beach, surrounded by people, and I'm completely naked. That was the norm.
It was very different when we came to Canada.
People, if you don't start posting I'll post pictures of my pets!
Can you find me (6th, 7th, and 8th grade in one room)?
How do you put the picture in the post? This is why I never post pictures of me.
LOL! We do have Spring, and summer, and fall, and winter. Granted, winter is the longest season, but we do have the others, and it's very nice here in the summer, even in the spring, once spring actually decides to kick in.
I grew up not being scared about my body. I'm still that way, so are my kids.
I remember the first time we took Jared to Penticton (our family vacation spot, we went there every year, when we didn't go back to Germany to visit). My parents were with us, Jared was not yet a year old. We were on the beach, he had a little swimmer on (it's like a bathing suit diaper, it's disposable). He was playing in the sand, and the sand got into everything. We were about to go back to the campground, so I took off his little swimmer, realized that sand was in places that sand shouldn't be. So before I put on a diaper, I decided to rinse the sand off in the lake.
At least 3 people said "You should put some clothes on your son. This isn't a nude beach. No one needs to see your sons penis". He was 11 months old! I was washing off the sand! To this day I didn't understand how people could freak out about that. It never would have happened in Germany. In fact, in Germany, when Jared was almost 3, we went to an outdoor swimming pool, and he swam naked, along with the rest of the kids, for the entire day. It wasn't an issue. In fact, it was the norm.
I think too many people think that nudity is bad, when it really isn't. Every one of us are naked under our clothes. Why should that be a shameful thing? I never will understand why.
Ah my young one, I will teach you. Take my hand, and do what I say, you will be fine. :)

Nope. That was another Carol. I wouldn't identify myself, now, would I. ;) . I was in 6th grade and short, so had to stand on a table. Back row, last one on the right.
The boy in the middle of the back row, Duane -- years after this photo was taken, my dad died of a massive heart attack before the start of a church meeting that was supposed to be held at Duane's house.
Okay, did this work?
Alty, it's a STICKY here: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/lounge...ers-43867.html
Lets try these:
An old one, I think from 1977, and a recent one. The new one is as big as I can get before it blurs.
I don't have many pictures of myself and most of the ones I do have, have guns in them... here are the most recent ones I could find.
4 years ago on vacation with my best buddy in the picture.
Fishing 4 years ago.
Taking my daughter on her first motorcycle ride in 2009.
Same recent shot, better resolution
