~KitchenManager Fri, Aug 21, 1998 (22:42) #101

I promise to get yours up in here as soon as I can, Stacey... still haven't completely figured out the scanner...

~stacey Wed, Aug 26, 1998 (12:58) #102

no hurry... I know exactly what I look like.

~KitchenManager Wed, Aug 26, 1998 (13:19) #103

as do I...to a point, that is...

~stacey Wed, Aug 26, 1998 (14:37) #104

the rest is fun to imagine, no?

~KitchenManager Wed, Aug 26, 1998 (14:45) #105

'tis true, 'tis true

~KitchenManager Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (11:22) #106

as promised, here's Stacey...

~terry Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (12:01) #107

Good picture! Look at those rosy lips and those cool bangs! She's lookin' ecstatic.

~riette Fri, Aug 28, 1998 (13:46) #108

Gorgeous - very Italian.

~autumn Sun, Aug 30, 1998 (15:14) #109

And safety-conscious, too! Good to see you bucklin' up, Stacey! Great photo, so who's the guy?

~riette Mon, Aug 31, 1998 (01:29) #110

Mr. B., of course!!

~stacey Sun, Sep 6, 1998 (03:03) #111

how funny to see myself literally at the Spring! No more bangs now Paul... that pic was from December of 1996. Yes, that's Brandon kinda contorted as he took the pic while driving (sorry safety-conscious ones, I know!) Thanks WER, that was fun! (would'ya send me the electronic format of those sometime?)

~KitchenManager Sun, Sep 6, 1998 (03:07) #112

yep...although the first scan of that one was over 3 megs in size...

~stacey Sun, Sep 6, 1998 (03:15) #113

Woo Woo! I am LARGE!

~terry Sun, Sep 6, 1998 (17:09) #114

You ain't LARGE, baybee, yo is thin, thin, thin.

~mikeg Fri, Sep 18, 1998 (05:54) #115

Lovely to see you wer, Ray and Stacey :) Just Autumn and Wolf to go now, methinks...

~autumn Fri, Sep 18, 1998 (16:28) #116

I SWEAR I'm picking up my photos from the supermarket this weekend. Very soon, now...

~wolf Sat, Sep 19, 1998 (20:17) #117

i almost went to a color photo booth in the mall! don't worry, it'll show up one of these days and then you'll wish it hadn't!!

~KitchenManager Sat, Sep 19, 1998 (22:49) #118

just tell me you'll be in uniform...

~wolf Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (08:41) #119

haha!!

~terry Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (11:10) #120

Kristen has her picture in babes.

~wolf Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (11:16) #121

we know that already!! *grin*

~autumn Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (21:07) #122

Yes, Wolf, we want to see you in your dress greens or BDUs! Are you enlisted, NCO, or officer? The NCOs get to hold that cool sword at their annual ball.

~kristen Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (21:53) #123

~riette Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (21:54) #124

So long as you don't forget to tuck in your tail and ears!

~kristen Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (21:55) #125

This is me(redhead) and my best friend Eden on my birthday in 97.

~KitchenManager Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (22:05) #126

and you were how old?

~riette Mon, Sep 21, 1998 (22:50) #127

Ever the tactful Satanist he is....

~kristen Tue, Sep 22, 1998 (02:12) #128

25 fyi

~kristen Tue, Sep 22, 1998 (02:13) #129

My next birthday on Wed. Sepy 23.

~terry Tue, Sep 22, 1998 (10:43) #130

Tomorrow!

~mikeg Tue, Sep 22, 1998 (16:24) #131

Ummm...Kirsten....ummm....*dribbling* :)

~terry Tue, Sep 22, 1998 (16:47) #132

Kirsten's nice too. She's the lady who did our currently running Spring video, there are parts of it that are very intriguing.

~riette Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (01:25) #133

Happy Birthday, Kristen!

~kristen Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (01:35) #134

Thanks Riette...you're the first today!

~kristen Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (01:36) #135

Mike...my name is Kristen, not Kirsten.

~riette Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (01:58) #136

So, what are you going to do today? Big party? Remember to send the photos!

~kristen Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (02:45) #137

Nothing special...had an awful week so far. Hope it get's better.

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (03:06) #138

Whyfor has it been awful?

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (05:13) #139

and thank you for your gift to us... it was good to see your name out and about in the conferences...

~wer Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (06:13) #140

and another thought, Kristen: you oughta hostess the health conference and work a little ressucitation magic on it...

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (06:26) #141

I know what her favorite topic in health would be . . . ER

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (09:36) #142

By the way, on the birthday girl subject, have you seen all the new pictures on Kristen's web site? Check out http://www.spring.net/kristen

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (10:27) #143

Picture of me and my girlfriend at the time, Salli Rasberry, at my place in Occidental, CA. She's the co-author of "Honest Business" and "Starting a One Person Business".

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (10:29) #144

And, going even further back in time, here's my grandma Ruth Walhus:

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (10:31) #145

And, at one point in my life, I was 12 years old. (Just to prove that wearing cowboy hats did make my ears stick out).

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (10:33) #146

And, here holding my sister Alice (can she be enjoying this?):

~ratthing Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (11:18) #147

hey! weren't you in "Leave it to Beaver??"

~KitchenManager Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (11:31) #148

sure you don't mean "Our Gang," Ray?

~mikeg Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (13:45) #149

sorry about your name Kristen - darn my tybnpig figners

~riette Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (13:45) #150

Oh, SWEET photos, Terry! I LOVE looking through other people's photo albums, so keep them coming! I'll send some of my family too!

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (13:48) #151

Please! Put up some of little Riette.

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (13:50) #152

Hey baby, how do you like my new wheels?

~mikeg Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (14:21) #153

Riette - you're here!

~kristen Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (16:19) #154

What a cute kid...look at that blonde hair!!!

~terry Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (16:35) #155

Hey, where are your kid pictures, Kristen? We need to get that scanner working on some of your pictures.

~autumn Wed, Sep 23, 1998 (16:53) #156

Happy birthday, Kristen. Terry, gotta love that one of you & your sister. Very sweet and natural. Are you close?

~terry Sat, Sep 26, 1998 (14:39) #157

We are pretty close. She recently got married for the first time and lives a very happy life in the SF Bay area.

~stacey Wed, Sep 30, 1998 (18:01) #158

cool pics Paul!!

~MarciaH Sat, Jun 19, 1999 (18:27) #159

Ok, wer, I promised. This board will never see posting again!

~MarciaH Sat, Jun 19, 1999 (18:28) #160

~MarciaH Sat, Jun 19, 1999 (18:31) #161

~KitchenManager Sat, Jun 19, 1999 (23:23) #162

my turn... here's Marcia...

~KitchenManager Sat, Jun 19, 1999 (23:26) #163

near as I can tell, you just forgot your quotes... no biggie!

~MarciaH Sat, Jun 19, 1999 (23:53) #164

~aschuth Sun, Jun 20, 1999 (10:05) #165

What are you selling, Marcia?

~terry Sun, Jun 20, 1999 (10:14) #166

Looks like some UH memoribilia (univ of houston?) (hawaii?)

~MarciaH Sun, Jun 20, 1999 (14:30) #167

Oh Good! You did not think I lived like that! I am a volunteer - Hours are unending and the pay is nonexistant, but the rewards are priceless. Yes, I am selling "stuff" for the University of Hawaii at Hilo. The proceeds go to fill in gaps in scholarship and equipment funding caused by budget cuts in the State Legislature. Hanging around college students is a great way to stay young, and some are actually sending their kids to play for us next year. I cannot have been doing this that long?! T is was the outdoor stand at a softball tournament. At Volleyball, I sit at the end of the gym in a corner and have to dodge errant spiked balls. Despite my best efforts, I usually get whacked by a few. No Volunteer's Comp, either. Thanks for asking. Could you see that our Logo is an erupting volcano? We really have one!

~MarciaH Sun, Jun 20, 1999 (14:38) #168

Thanks for posting me, wer. I did not realize you did or I would not have done it a second time. I have enough posting fun in Drool 72. It shall be a fun week with Solstice coming. BTW, Gentelmen, Happy Father's Day!

~wolf Mon, Jun 21, 1999 (07:16) #169

marcia marcia marcia!! great pic, sweetie (and hawaii to boot).....

~autumn Mon, Jun 21, 1999 (22:42) #170

Oh, you stole my line, Wolf!!! :-) Welcome, Marcia! Sounds like a fun way to spend some free time.

~wolf Tue, Jun 22, 1999 (09:34) #171

i've been dying to use that one, autumn! *grin*

~aschuth Tue, Jun 22, 1999 (09:42) #172

?

~wolf Tue, Jun 22, 1999 (09:49) #173

alex: from the brady bunch

~aschuth Tue, Jun 22, 1999 (09:58) #174

okidoki.

~MarciaH Wed, Jun 30, 1999 (22:07) #175

Sheesh! I get wallowing in drool too long and I find I have missed the profundities going on down here. Happy to provide you with a little reminsicing on the finer points of TV in the 70's or whenever the Bradys were doing their thing. Some of these guys are definitely too young to remember them, and the truly lucky have just plain erased them from the hard drive of their minds. At least you did not say, "John!" (I am grateful for little things!) Oh yes, I will be back at it next weekend when the Little League has their local championships at the University fields.

~MarciaH Wed, Jun 30, 1999 (22:12) #176

Ooh! Where are my manners?! Thank you for the warm welcome. And, for those who have not the slightest clue about Little League and what it entails, it is Baseball for Elementary School kids (they play on the smaller Softball field) and for Intermediate School kids (who play on the larger Baseball field). They use a hard ball just like major league baseball and pitch overhand. Quite impressive, and very cute.

~wolf Wed, Jun 30, 1999 (22:28) #177

that is, until the parents start pushing the kids too hard (have seen that in person, not cute at all)....just let the kids play! there's enough pressure when they grow up. k...i'm done... glad to see you in these parts again marcia *smile*

~aschuth Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (13:24) #178

John! (Happy to oblige, Marcia!)

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (18:42) #179

Oh Wolfie, don't tell me the parents get to stay and watch, too?! Actually, while we were watching practice the other night one irate parent, nor satisfied with yelling from the sidelines, stormed onto the field and yelled at his son on first base. I could have throttled him, and might have tried had I not been bodily hauled away and taken to dinner where cooler heads prevailed. It's gonna be a rough week! Thanks, Alex (*smile*)

~wolf Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (18:52) #180

i can't believe it, this is supposed to be fun! i know a parent who pushes his son to be in everything sport's related (ok, football and baseball). sometimes the boy just doesn't want to play (he's 10). his twin sisters (6 yrs) were in a t-ball league this summer and i went to one game. some of those parents were terrible! i had fun routing for everybody! there weren't any losers (didn't keep track of who won or lost) which i thought was genius! the girls did great but some of the other kids had too mu h pressure on them. that dad deserved to be throttled....

~MarciaH Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (21:19) #181

Oh Wolf, you and I need to go to a game!!! We could change a kid's whole life with that outlook on sports! I agree entirely! I am there to have fun. Our collegiate teams lose a lot - but they do it with class and everyone has a pot luck for them afterward. That's my idea of sport!

~wolf Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (22:58) #182

mine too!!

~KitchenManager Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (01:35) #183

potluck as sport...think I could actually go to the practices for that...

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (14:04) #184

*lol* I imagine there would be a large turnout! That is how we perfected the Jellyfish salad?! BTW, how did you know that it contained real jellyfish? Have you ever tasted it? Tell us all about it because your report is about as close as I plan to get to one.

~KitchenManager Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (14:53) #185

seen it made on television and have a couple of recipes for it...never actually had it...

~wolf Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (16:46) #186

jellyfish salad? gross!!

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (16:53) #187

I posted a picture of it on Drool 72 and it was very tasty-looking. I think it had a great sauce and the jellyfish and been julienned (that takes some skill one would think!) and coated with a nice peanut-brittle-colored batter. I imagine it is like eating raw fish. I love it, but the fish is really almost tasteless. It is the great sauce which makes the difference.

~wolf Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (16:56) #188

well i say just eat the sauce!

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (17:09) #189

but..but...you're still hungry if you do that. Of course, quick returning jellyfish might cause the same sensation! Yeesh!

~wolf Fri, Jul 2, 1999 (18:55) #190

hmmmm.....got me there!

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 3, 1999 (01:13) #191

it's made with dried jellyfish that has been reconstituted...

~wolf Sat, Jul 3, 1999 (11:25) #192

why does that sound like regurgitation to me? must be the animal instinct....at any rate, that still seems gross!!

~MarciaH Sat, Jul 3, 1999 (14:15) #193

The picture makes it look very edible. It is one of those dishes one should not be told about till after one has tasted it. Preferably, w a y after! Surrounded by the world's largest ocean, I have to use reconstituted Jellyfish? Doesn't seem right, somehow. But, thanks wer, I never would have known. Will search them out at the grocery and report back what they look like all shrunken and dried.

~autumn Sun, Jul 4, 1999 (00:15) #194

My kids loved the free jellyfish snow cones they got after every t-ball game. ;-)

~MarciaH Sun, Jul 4, 1999 (01:11) #195

Please tell me they are not made from fresh or reconstituted Jellyfish!

~autumn Tue, Jul 6, 1999 (22:53) #196

LOL!!

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (15:35) #197

This is the David the Geologist. Check Geo Conference if you are wondering what he is doing in here. Oh, yes, He is also my son. =)

~wolf Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (16:06) #198

sure hope he's not planning on leaping out *grin*

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (16:54) #199

No, actually he was preparing to board. At least, that is what he told his Mom *huge grin*

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 16, 1999 (14:56) #200

Ok Wolf, where is your picture. Email it to me if necessary (I promise to share it with no one!) Someone I have felt as close to, as I do to you, I need to be able to visualize. And, if you think you are funny-looking in your pix, just go back and look at mine. (all 2 of them!)
