Healing the Gut in September - Page 29

[Annikate]

I was a teenager. I'd do it again though!

Anybody wanna play a guessing game?
ff - you are tall w/long dark hair.

[Panserbjorne]

Hmmm. I'm 5'6 and do have long hair. It's somewhere between red and brown. In my earlier life (before kids and when I was working) it was about waist length and flaming red (not naturally!)

Annikate-my height, short curly brown hair. Geez, could we get more OT

Amanda and Jane-it would be cheating because I've seen pics.

Caedmyn-I've always pictured you with dark hair, medium length and straight.

It should probably be a different thread, but then I wouldn't learn about all of YOU!

[Punchy Kaby]

I guess we hijacked the thread
Annikate- I picture curly red hair and petite.

FF-I am now evisioning you as a dancer

caedmyn- I picture with glasses

[Annikate]

NO fair. I wanna see Jane and Amanda too.

Almost 5'7" - have always been darkish blonde and medium length. Recently went darker and shoulder length. No curls though. Pin straight. Poor dds have inherited my hair too.

Okay mamas, lets post pics. I'll post sometime this week if I can but will only leave it up for a little while. I'm weird about that. Don't know why though since dds pics are in my siggy.

ff, you've got a reputation now.

Curly hair. I wish.

Nolansmum, I picture you as being thin and *wispy* with a long straight nose. (I'll tell you my reason for this later.)

This is cracking me up!

[Annikate]

Betcha caedmyn is short w/short-ish hair.

[Panserbjorne]

I *think* Amanda's is in her sig. Jane posted -hmmm-maybe last year with a pic of her and her GORGEOUS boy. I was shocked at her pic!

HA! The reputation doesn't even come close. Welllllll, close-ish.

You know we are all gonna have to post our pics now! If only I knew how
If only I could scan one from a couple of years ago...you'd never look at me the same way again! :

[Annikate]

I figured Jane was hot.

No pics from yesteryear allowed. Funny how motherhood changes EVERYTHING. It even changed the way I look. Oh, wait a minute, I look like crap now because I'm SLEEP DEPRIVED.

Off to look for Amanda...You do know you started this don't you GF?

[Punchy Kaby]

I think we need silliness around here once in a while, laughter is good for the gut.

Hmm, a long straight nose?? I am 5'6' and on the thinner side (thanks to BF and SCD) and I just got my hair cut, it is kind of 'whispy'!

I almost don't want to see pics of Jane and Amanda, I guess I have them on a pedistal and if I saw pictures they would become more ...real.

[Panserbjorne]

I think you'd make an exception for my yesteryear pics

[Annikate]

Okay, GF, we need a pic *without* a hat and sunglasses.

Nolansmum, your name reminds me of my cousin named Nola who is a wispy sort, pretty and thin. I just always picture her when I see your name. She is a pianist.

Hope to see some pics tomorrow! We can play some more guessing games then. I want to get on Patty and AmyD. Can't leave them out.

[Pattyla]

I was gone and missed the fun.

I am a vocalist. In another life I sang Opera.
I also teach voice lessons.
I have taught Montessori as well as ESL and GED classes.
Oh and I was in ministry for several years.

I'm not very visual so I don't really picture anyone any particular way.

[Punchy Kaby]

Patty-Opera, And Montessori, very cool! My DH is in the orchestra for the Kennedy Center Opera. I bet you have a stage presense, maybe dark luscious hair?

[Punchy Kaby]

I hide behind my son's name here but my name is Beth.

[Panserbjorne]

The ministry?!?!?!? I never would have guessed! We have some very musical people here.

[Panserbjorne]

Beth-blondish?

[Punchy Kaby]

Well, yes through highlights. One of my last areas of chemical addiction.

Very cool! I do have dark hair (that has been know to go red ) Not sure about luscious though.

Gosh, I would love to see pis of y'all. : Fun reading about everyone. Since kids I have become a massage therapist.

Saw my acupuncturist today after not for a while. He says the mass I had in my abdomin is pretty much gone. Yeah! I do feel that my stomach stuff has gotten much better. However, it still swells up after I eat and tends to be progressive during the day. By night it is basically distended from under my ribs to my pelvis. By morning, it is usually just the the lower abdomin, like a really big pot belly. He told me to do situps. : Like this is from age and the postpartum belly. Well, some of that might be true, but I don't think that it is all there is to it. I am just hoping that as I continue to get better, it will go away. Now if I could figure out how to lose the 10 lbs I put on since all this started.

yes. it's called "AccessGrid" and most universities have it. because of the bandwidth required for streaming video, i doubt it would be a pleasant experience without the joys of Internet2.

as for one-on-one video chat, Apple has made that pretty simple stupid with their newer iMacs and such - the last round of 'puters have a teeny camera staring you in the face. and then they also beefed up the software offerings to power and control the lil sucker.

there is real-time group text chat - it's called IRC, Internet Relay Chat, an ancient technology that predates AIM, Yahoo chat and the others. that's what we use at work to keep in touch with the other labs in our center (which is dispersed between 2 buildings and 7 locations - some center, eh?). dh and i "met" running IRC servers many many moons ago.
