Probably was a closet white supremacist and an avid follower of his screen name…

KB – do like the cig hanging out of your mouth while holding up your bike! 😆

When my husbands shop was just a couple of blocks away, he used to ride his bike to work….smoking away! People would just laugh at him because it looked, well, strange! 😕

That’s what I thought too! 😆

Look nothing like her, blonde, blue eyes and not has heavely endowed as her…but she is one beautiful woman.

One of the few, who seem to get better with age!

If I ever have an incarnation, I always like the name, “Dulcinea”, Don Quixote’s love interest from the Man of la Mancha and use Sophia Loren’s pic as AV

Yes, I thought that was very admirable of Rick.

@dimplasm, how big is he? There’s a couple of them at the dog park where we walk, they are huge!

Dearest Funksands, we clearly knew from your posts that you were not the “Irish One”…

Welcome UncleB!

We don’t call them “brain farts” here, we call them “neurons misfiring”… 😎

In my opinion the best screen name and AV was Hume’s “HumeSkeptic” with the pic of Einstien…will never forget that man, nor his posts.

I think everyone us strived to live up to his standards, and was always estatic if he replied to one of my posts.

R.I.P Hume

Oh no! 😆

@Abby-thanks, he was special, he looked like a regal lion when he would lay down, he had a gentle strength. My younger one, Win, has started to pick up some of Rudd’s looks, he’s starting to fill out more…but totally different personality, Win is sweet and gentle.

deygirl – I don’t remember the cat avatar, maybe that’s a blessing! 😆

I always liked your pic and thought you where very brave to use it…Oh, and the ones who thought you “fat” and “unattractive”, they were probably the ones who were sitting in their mother’s basement passing judgement on others, pretending that they were god’s gift to the world! 😉

My screen name is a nickname, my husband once gave me a T-shirt with, “Big Dog Mom, She Who Must be Obeyed” and the name just stuck. When you have two dogs, both over 85 lbs., one who is an Alpha male and the younger one who wishes he was…it got a little tricky to who was in charge of this bunch, hence “BigDogMom”

My AV is my beloved “Rudder” who we lost this past year…I always loved this pic of him, because it showed both his strength and kindness at the same time. This is what I wanted the world to see me as…

You wouldn’t believe it, but there was several times posters thought I was a male, you would think they’d get the hint that I was not, the key word being “Mom”.

I had a feeling you were Moist Robot… 🙂

Evening you all, this is Freddy V…I have known Freddy all my life, he was the brother I never had. He lived accross the street from me growing up, I used to sit outside his window, listening to him practice, waiting for him to come out and play…back then he wasn’t that good. He found me via Facebook a couple of months ago…he was one of the few who I was glad found me after all these years.

His smile is still the same…

Worth sharing….”The Disease called ‘Perfection’ “

I have found that for women, some, not all, the older we get, the more we realize that struggling for perfection will be a loosing battle and once we realize this, we surrender, we accept ourselves for who we are. And all the advertising, women’s magazine articles and MSM mean nothing at that point, we stop looking at them.

When a women goes through the hormonal changes at the end of her childbearing years, not only the change is hormonal, it is an emotional and mental change. For some of us, myself included, the change is so dramatic, that we drop all pretense of who we used to be and become who we really are.

For myself, I turned inward, took a mental inventory of my life, discarding all that is not necessary, waste my time and energy and discovered how freeing it was. To be myself, to accept myself, wrinkles and cellulite and all.

I always believed that we create our own heaven and our own hell, we are all perfectly imperfect, and not until I went through “the change” did I walk my talk.

Just some of my random thoughts….from a raging hormonal women’s viewpoint! 😆

(and yes I have dust bunnies the size of soccer balls and I don’t care, I just tell myself, “at least my house looks lived in”)

Morning Orcas and welcome to the Planet! Another gardener here, I used to seek perfection in my perennial gardens, but realized it was a fruitless journey!

Got so bad at one point, that I would stay up all night making notes on which plants to move where and drawings, re-designing over and over again…until one year, I just stepped away, exhausted. Low and behold, it was the best thing I could have ever done, my gardens turned out beautiful that year and I was finally able to enjoy them.

Now I would call my gardens and the ones that I design professionally, “Controlled Chaos”…learning that Mother Nature will always have the upper hand in this battle for perfection!

Oh, and those damn finicky Delphinium, they’re gone, I practice tough love in my gardens now, if I have to baby you, you’re outta here! 😡

(ps: there is nothing more satisfying than looking at a perfectly formed cabbage…or in my case a Cabbage Rose!)

@HH – It’s messed up all women’s minds…in our society, if your not a size 0, you are considered overweight. I was never a size 0 in my lifetime…

@Abby, I’m thinking of buying the book for my younger sister, my niece, her daughter is going through the pink & princess stage…what a marketing ploy, they are raking in billions from this.

@Sue – Jean Nate’ OMG! 😆

Do you remember when “Musk Oil” was in vogue..my father used say we smelled dirt, like we were digging in the garden! If that din’t burst a girls bubble, I don’t know what would!

KQ – The saying is:

“It’s a good thing”

I come from the land of “Martha”, she used to live and film not far from where I live…

My girlfriends and I have a running joke, when we start fussing over something, if something is not to our liking or not working out “Perfectly”, one of them will always bring you down to earth by saying, “OK MARTHA!”
