A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Wanna see 30 years ago???

Ummm, It would be interesting to know your 'before' mind's eye picture of me, Dianna.

Tina For some reason I envisioned you as a strawberry blonde,, Green eyes and short, and stocky,and , Your completely the opposite

I pictured you with sort of curly hair Tina.

I do have green eyes, Diana. I stopped growing at the age of 12 at 5' 7 1/2" and about 98 pounds. I got my weight up to healthy at age 14 and stayed there for years. My hair was medium-light brown as a child and darkened to dark brown. Very straight with a pair of cowlicks in the front.
Now I am mostly gray, a little over-weight and gravity has taken its toll.

Welllllllllllll I had the green Eyes right!


I used to be 5' 6"1/2 I'm getting shorter every year,,

I am only 5' 7" now

well I know I'm not alone in the getting shorter generation :wink:

TINA, those are the first and only pics I've ever seen of you! You were so pretty, and I'm sure you are still just as pretty--gray hair, gravity, and all. It's so cool to actually see pictures of you!

Now I just want to see a more recent picture. :wink: There has to be one around there somewhere.

I really don't think so, Loz. I avoid cameras well. I really need to get a decent pic of me though so someday when my kids want one (like for my funeral) they will have one. If/when i get one, I will share it here as well.

So many pretty girls... Such a good place to be hehe ;)...

Great pics...

It is nice to see Tina...very pretty indeed.

Strange how we invision people before seeing them.

It is great to see a pic of you Tina! You are very pretty!

I have a scanner (not hooked up) but I took a pic with my camera of an 8x10 photo

I am loving all these pictures! Everyone looks so good!
Thanks for continuing this thread!

I don't have a scanner either but you can set your digi cam on 'documents' and snap a pic of your pic....if you know what I mean

oh cool. I'll have to find a picture.

okay this is a picture of a picture Sheri,, this one goes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back!! 19 years old,,

I love the clothes in these pictures

Diane, you still look the same...very pretty.

Here I am in August 1970


Thornius, Age 18

cool

You are very welcome. Don't know how I thought of it but all of a sudden Chilicoot Charlies just popped into my head. I LOVE it when my brain clicks in - just doesn't seem to happen much anymore so I REALLY get excited. That birthday was the only time I was ever at Chilicoots or Anchorage. Fun memories! Guess I should dig out an old picture. I have one somewhere out past Fairbanks where they had a huge stuffed moose in front of this restaurant we use to go to and my sister in law and I were kissing the moose. I think it was about 33 years ago. I'll have to see if I can find it!

Raingardener - what year were you in Alaska? I was there from June 1977 - August 1978. Took one trip up to Fairbanks when my parents and sister came to visit me.

I was offered a job to teach Head Start way up in the bush - would have had to go in a 2 seater plane - UH, UHHH!!! Don't like flying in a large plane so I wasn't going to do that! Besides... I didn't want to live in the middle of nowhere - I need lots of people around me!

By the way... I sent an email to Chilkoot Charlies asking them about the place in Girdwood - sent it about a week ago and have not gotten a response.

plants 'n' pots I was in Fairbanks from around 1971 to 1976 or so. I also lived in Southeast Alaska in Petersburg before that - around 1967 or so for a couple of years. After 1976 I flew back to WA State and have never been back. Brrrrrr Fairbanks was soooooooooo cold. Although with all the rain in this state I sometimes think it's colder because Fairbanks was so dry. It was a really fun time but guess I'm here to stay. My husband and I were just talking about how I had beautiful houseplants in Fairbanks - one which was a fern in that dry country and I can't grow one here inside for anything. I've killed quite a few of them. I just don't understand that. LOL O'well! I do much better outside with my flowers.

Here I am about 40 years ago:



And about 54 years ago:



Here I am today:

Sorry!!! I can't make that first photo resize!!!

Here I am now:

OH MY GOODNESS Shirley - you were so skinny in that second picture!!!
Where were they taken?

Raingardener - I never made it down to southeast Alaska - I'm not much of a flyer, and didn't really have occassion to go there anyway, but I would have loved to have seen it.

shirley my you were and are thin---good for you !!!


and very nice pictures BTW

Sorry everyone that I tried and failed to resize that first picture!!

The first one was taken in Arizona

The second was in Ft.Wayne Indiana. I was 17 and weighed 98lbs!!!

The last two was taken in Kokomo Indiana at a son's house.

OMG you're so thin and pretty....the least amount I have ever been was 115 and I felt bad all the time

Thank you.

I wish I was 115 !!!!! But I got down from 150 to 135 so I guess I should be happy. I'm trying for 130 or 125, though, then I will be content. I know I will never see the LOW 100's again!!!!

I'd be happy to see 150 again

I've tried really hard and exercised, very lightly, with walking.

I walk some all the time but that's about it and it's been too hot lately to even want to go to the mail box was 106 today

Whew! Glad it's not that hot here!! I wouldn't be walking either!!

Going to bed now!

Shirley you look the same.

So far this is the only picture of me I've found and it was in Johnny's wallet that I washed last night so we had to take everything out of it. Interestingly, this old picture made it through. The newer pictures of the grand children now have all the picture washed off. Sometimes old is better. I don't know if it will show up here but I'm trying.

I can' feel sorry for you about that!!

good picture Sheri,, *Miss Sexyteasing showing, some leg*,,,,, No wonder he had that pictures in his wallet all this time,,

Great pics of the sexy ladies here

amazing the pic's men keep in their wallets, that's where the only wallet size of the one I posted is, in hubby's wallet.

sheri you look fantastic!!
