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.



Me a few years ago.



Me a few months ago.

Now get to it, start posting, let's see those mugs. :)

[Alty]

Oh come on people, it's not scary. It's just a picture. :) I showed you mine, won't you show me yours? ;)

[Wondergirl]

I'm the one with the rifle --

[Alty]

OMG! WG, you look like Shirley Temple! If that rifle were a lollipop you'd be a shoe in!

[Wondergirl]

With my uncle --

[Alty]

With my uncle --

Seriously WG, you're the good ship lollipop girl! You're a dead ringer!

[Wondergirl]

Seriously WG, you're the good ship lollipop girl! You're a dead ringer!

Nah, just a little German-American girl.

I had pigtails in the second photo, but you can't see them. My mom made the dress I have on.

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.

[Alty]

Nah, just a little German-American girl.

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! ;)

Me as a baby, I looked like... well... me as a baby. But I did have the ugly 70's carpet in the background, the rocking chair I tried to refinish when Syd was born, and the baby magazine while sitting on my potty. You really can't beat that. It's uber cute. :)

[Alty]

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. :)

[Wondergirl]

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.

[Alty]

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.

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. :)

[Alty]

Eleven year old me. Guess which one I am. I'll give you a hint. I'm a girl, I have very long hair, and I'm taller than everyone else in this picture. :)



That picture was taken on the beach in Penticton. That's where we're takiig the kids this summer. :)

[Wondergirl]

Why don't you have much clothing on in your photos? ;)

[Alty]

Why don't you have much clothing on in your photos? ;)

I'm German. Nudity isn't a big deal in my culture. :)

Trust me, I could post pictures where I'm wearing a lot less than the ones I already posted.

I have naked pictures! Boys, don't get all excited, I'm around 2 weeks old in the pictures I'd post. :)

[Alty]

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.



It was the 70's, that explains the carpet, the wallpaper, and all the horrible décor.

The kangaroo room was mine. :)

[Wondergirl]

You must not be German-Lutheran. The Hannover crowd didn't feel that way.

[smoothy]

Oh what a disappointment... and here I had my hopes all up.

Your dad was a tall man... because you might even have me by an inch if I remember your height.

[Alty]

Oh what a disappointment...and here I had my hopes all up.

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

I'm trying to find a picture of me covered from head to toe so that WG doesn't think I was a tramp.
