The school pic is from my HS id in 1977.

 

Gem- You are funny! I also see that you're putting in some major effort to get a pic.So what time does the husband get home with the camera? We'll be looking forward to your "ONE" pic.

Thy- Congrats on the new car! The husband thought he wanted the center arm rest part when we got the '05. When we got the '08, it had it and it was a huge PITA. We are very different in height though so it works better for him. I am 5' and he is 6'5"... the seat is either all the way forward or all the way back. It bothered me for awhile because it was in the way of me using the E-brake. Now I put my sunglasses in it. Definitely wouldn't pay extra for it but some people really love it. He likes it... but I never let him drive so.... And BTW- good effort for your pics too... except that we can't giggle about it. I think you still might have to be on the naughty list. Cab/UhOh... what do you think?

Oh yeah, and as for height... Big Norm's got us all beat. He's like 8' and fits into the smaller classic mini. (Ok... 6'11"... close enough!)

 

 

I get points right??

 

Great pic gem!!!! I had a hard time finding one. I think my mother still has all my other pics.

 

Sure! Since your the one that was closest you win!

 

You're welcome!

Nice pic, btw. You look like my sister in it, kinda.

 

Thanks for the compliment! My hair was so thin and straight, it was down to my butt... my sister trimed my hair for me, i had no idea she was drunk and took about 12 inches off of it!!! that was the last time it was that long.

And the embarrassing part, I have been testing for a 1000 years (almost) and never knew i could send it to my address without paying for the extra service!!!

thanks for not making comments about the bubble headed friend you have on this thread!!!

 

maybe i am!!!

 

Mine was always out of control! But, at least I had some to have a bad hair day with!

 

MCWill- You did it! Now THAT is a funkin' shirt! Wish I had a Travolta Disco smiley... big props for that one. So this means that Sika HAS to post right? He probably already did while I'm playing "catch up" here.

 

I already did!

 

No, you have much better taste in cars!

 

Hey blue eyed hottie,,, oops I meant McWill--- I was going to say that very same thing,,, gem just email your camera picture to your email, download it and poof! Job done..

I have so much to catch up on!! Thyo- I likie your picture, I can tell you are tall. And you better be careful,,, Gem is eying you as if you were covered in chocolate..
Okay I am returning to the thread to continue catching up.
Oh!! For what it is worth, I got a pretty nice Adventure kit from MINI.

A nice journal to write my traveling notes in (I will use it for work related stuff)
MINI pen
antenna ball Union Jack Flag (already have one that my MA gave me)
Decals to go on the MINI
3 D glasses and a deciphering kit that I am supposed to use when I see a MINI Cooper ad? I guess it gives me clues towards free things or discounts? Has anyone else got this?? Or won anything??

All in all it was a pretty cool little package of goodies!!

 

 

LOVE this look for you!

KIKI- That second pic is awesome! I think probably most of us had "mom-cut bangs" (and some even "self-cut" bangs ) in our past. But that look on your face is exactly what I feel like everytime I get in my MINI!

Also, wanted to say one thing about the pics... I hope that no one feels bad about posting their pics. This is all meant in good fun. A "back in the day" of sorts. I know that not everyone has a senior pic... whether it was because we didn't want one, couldn't afford one, didn't graduate... hey, sht happens and there's no judgement. I posted my senior pics only because my hair was REALLY big and because it was definitely a style for the times... (and it does make me laugh ). I love that MCWill took the assignment and ran with it... LOVE the shirt!. The point is... we could have been a drop out or have a Master's Degree... rich or poor... in sickness and in health (haha)... it doesn't matter here (at least on THIS thread) we are all equals... here for friendship and the common love of the MINI/Mini.

 

Awww, what a little princess...... grin. No really Gem, that is an awesome senior shot. I look at senior pics and I love my first thoughts, My first thought was that you had a happy childhood.......

Hope I am right.
I initially missed this photo I had to scroll back two pages to discover it,, don't know how I missed a full page, maybe two but I really need to go back a few pages and re read everything. 'Ola yes, I feel invisable too sometimes on here... but I know it is hard to include everything and if you all are like me you miss some of the highlights.... I feel so behind!! So much good stuff on here today!!

 

Yes, Thyo you are on the naughty list still, we need a nerdy, funky kind of gawky youngster shot...... puhleeeze?

 

Well said!!!

but then again you did threaten us all with toe photos!!! what were we supposed to do???

 

Sika- Lovin' the 17 year old pic!

Gem- All that cryin' about posting an old pic and you looked like THAT?!? You are so crazy! You looked great! Did you use the "posterize" on photoshop?

 

Well let's just say "Princess" was never in my name!
I was a kid that had A LOT of attitude and showed it most of the time! Pictures can be deceiving.

 

Great shots!! Sika,, your high school photo reminds me of an old Soap Opera-Dark Shadows,,,,

And your "gown up" shots are really good, looks like you were at a party? And I can't guess on the timeframe of the more recent shots, I can't seem to remember when dotted pantyhose were in style,,, not that YOU were wearing them,,,, but they are in the shot.

You guys rock!! This is fun. And TNMM I copied a shot of me and my hoss but it is too blurry to put on here,,,, I will keep fussing, still not finished for the day (one more body) and then I will get it on here.

 

Will, I love the blue eyes, but you know something? In High School a blue eyed young man really betrayed me and I have never,,,ever,, dated a man with blue eyes again. *sob* *gulp* Okay, shaking this memory off,, anyways, you are either shy or you were sad in that pic??

This is fun,,,,

Hey 'OLA!! I think we are still having some non conformists on here, I showed my dorky shot with the cat lady glasses, you showed that mane of fuzzy hair,, but Gem has only showed us glamour shots,,,, LilB only showed nice shots of herself, RG only showed a recent one,, who else?
McWill, how about an after to go with the before. I can't play Euchre with you until I have a face to picture in my mind. And I can't play euchre without talking krap and I can't talk like that to that young little shy/sad boy in the pic...

 

And I am almost caught up!

 

You are too kind... thank you!

And you are asking ME that question? did you see how many posts it took from MCWill and X to tell me how to TEXT that photo???
