I can't find the pictures of our members forum, and I know that it's really old, so I thought I'd start a new one.
We have a lot of new members, and it's always nice to put a face to the names we see on the site. So I'll start things off. Let's go for a different take on this, a before and after thing.
So here it is, me, before, and now. Okay, apparently I can't post a picture when I start a thread, so I'll post the pictures on the first post. I hope I'm not the only one.
Here goes nothing.

Me as a baby.
Attachment 43054
Me a few years ago.
Attachment 43055
Me a few months ago.
Now get to it, start posting, let's see those mugs. :)
Oh come on people, it's not scary. It's just a picture. :) I showed you mine, won't you show me yours? ;)
I'm the one with the rifle --
OMG! WG, you look like Shirley Temple! If that rifle were a lollipop you'd be a shoe in!
With my uncle --
Seriously WG, you're the good ship lollipop girl! You're a dead ringer!Quote:

That shirt my uncle is wearing? -- I still have it. I kept it after he died in 2002. It was my favorite shirt of his.
Have you seen you? You looked like Shirley Temple! You really did! You're Shirley Temple aren't you? You're not telling us something! ;)Quote:

Okay, young me. I think I'm around 8, maybe 9 in this picture. It was Easter, and we went to the Muttart. My mom made the dress I'm wearing, and that's not my first bunny. At least not my first real bunny. :)

Your smile hasn't changed in all these years. I'd know you anywhere, as long as you smiled.
Hmmm, good idea for a novel.
If no one else decides to post, this thread will end up with pictures of me and WG, the only two people brave enough to post pictures! Come on people, post!
So here's another one of me. This is me on my wedding day, so I'm 24 in the picture. The handsome man standing next to me is my dad. We were getting ready, and we were goofing off.
Attachment 43061
My smile and my laugh. They never change. One I'll keep, the other I'd love to change. Guess which one I'd keep. :)Quote:

That picture was taken on the beach in Penticton. That's where we're takiig the kids this summer. :)
Why don't you have much clothing on in your photos? ;)
I'm German. Nudity isn't a big deal in my culture. :)Quote:

I have naked pictures! Boys, don't get all excited, I'm around 2 weeks old in the pictures I'd post. :)
Okay, WG may be right, I don't seem to wear a lot in any of my pictures. Interesting.
Here's me at around 5 years of age with my kitty Whiskers, in the condo we bought shortly after we moved to Canada.
Attachment 43063
It was the 70's, that explains the carpet, the wallpaper, and all the horrible décor.
The kangaroo room was mine. :)
You must not be German-Lutheran. The Hannover crowd didn't feel that way.Quote:

Smoothy, I have older pics of me with less on, but I'm not posting them here, I want to stay on AMHD. :)Quote:

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

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.Quote:

It was very different when we came to Canada.
Don't you dare. I'm only posting pictures of me until others realize that it's not that big a deal, and start posting pictures of themselves.Quote:

Did that work? Are they posting now?
I know you were kidding. It wouldn't only go over like lead here, I'm not sure my husband would be too happy about it either. ;)Quote:

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.Quote:

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. :)Quote:

Fifth in the front row. I'm only guessing her because your name is scrawled on her shirt. :)Quote:

Okay, did this work?
It worked, and OMG! Now that I see a picture of little Synn, I can honestly say that your little L is the spitting image of you! He's your mini me!Quote:

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.
And the shrinkage thing when its cold... ;)Quote:
