Couldnt think of a good title for thread...below is GAL's post in the right now thread. these pics are tooo good/funny and wanted to make sure everyone gets to see. RN I am whizzing myself laughing at this "list" website posting - it has old Olan Mills photographs from the '70's complete with commentary. Every Family Has Some http://listoftheday.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-olan-mills-photos.html And here's another one like it from the 1977 JC Penny's catalogue. You know you dressed like this http://15minutelunch.blogspot.com/2007/10/strap-in-shut-up-and-hold-on-were-going.html RN I am CRYING at the Olan Mills site - I saw it before but wasn't sure if I'd posted it on TVCH so everyone else could pee their pants with me. ...................... Some of us posted responses in the RN thread. Please post some of your own pics that look like these or post your thoughts. I love the JCP 'how to get your ass kicked' kid pic!!! hahahahhahah

I hope someone can figure out if the guy does these blog things daily and what link would I use. He (I just discoverd he is a he LOL) seems to be known because of the comments. It appears he does these often.

As I said in the RN thread, I was crying looking at these they were so funny. Love the classic portraiture. At least the 70's was a distinctive memorable decade.

"The Purvis Family" and "Hiroshima 1945" are my favorites hands down. Laughed myself sick.

Yeah, that one. What's it posted next to? The couples in the Penney pics, dressed alike, remind me so much of Captain & Tenille. "Love will keep us together--it will, it will" lolol LOVE those sites and so looking forward to all the pics I hope will be posted. Thanks for sharing, Goddess

Pamy, I'm disgusted to admit that Colossus and I do that when we're traveling - matching striped shirts or whatnot. I dunno why, we both seem to be ok with it. But the Chachi couple? Pure comedy gold.

Here's a fan favorite that was recently removed from the Olan Mills site for some reason:
Dawn and her recently exhumed sister, Gorgotha, pose with Scraps.

GAL!!! I will need a pic of your matching travel outfits. Bill and I are going to FL in a month and may need to adapt to that way of thinking. added bonus, easy to find each other at disneyland if lost, we just walk up to someone and say 'have you seen a man in this outfit I am wearing?' hahahhaaaa

I have to say that while I was laughing I was in panic mode that my family Olan Mills pic from '82 would be on there, I was 11, sister 3 brother 1 and our family dog, oh it is a brutal picture and my mother still has the 16 x 20 canvas print on the wall for all to enjoy!

Here is an Olan Mills of 4 generations of our family, behind that 'lovely' bookcase backdrop!
TOP ROW: My maternal grandfather, Carl--a former state policeman, (RIP); Hubby, Ed (awful glasses. Doesn't he look thrilled?); Ed's father, Ed Sr.--a former engineer, (RIP); my mother, Phyllis--one of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware's first programmers, (RIP). BOTTOM ROW: My maternal grandmother, Ruth--a former secretary for the Board of Education in Harrisburg (RIP); Me, in those big glasses, holding my Matt (who is now 30!); Ed's mom, Kay--who was a homemaker, (RIP), holding Loupup (now 29). This had to have been 1978.

Here are a few of my kids. Matt in the 'bowl' cut that he gets on me about to this day. And Lauren in her Dorothy Hamill, which I sported for, oh, about 15 years straight! Not kidding! I think the year was 1981--and I believe I had these taken either at Sears or at Penney's.
 One more of Loupup in that haircut, taken at Penney's, I believe:
One home shot of my two sporting those haircuts:

thanks for sharing: I'll try to dig up some of mine. I had a house fire back in 1990 & lost all of my year books, family pix, etc. but, my stepmom sent me alot of pix that I had given my dad over the yrs so maybe I can scan & share.

Still figuring out this new laptop: I know I can copy/paste a pix of those crazy hip hugging "flag" pants. Watch out folks, I really had a pr of them & I'm going to find a way to post them.

Texasdeb, not sure if you've ever posted pics here before. If not, you can email them to me and I'll post them for you, if you like. (See my profile for my email address.) If you decide to do it yourself and master that new laptop, just make sure the photos you use on this site are under 60 in KB size and under 600 x 600 in dimensions. Just resize to fit. There are a number of ways to resize (in your printer/scan program), but I typically use PAINT to do that. If you want step-by-step directions, Just let me know.

thanks, herckle: I know how, it's just this new laptop that's got me puzzled. I could scoot my rolling chair right over to the dsl comp & do what I want to do in a heartbeat. No - I've never posted pix here - but, I have posted pix b/4 from either my office or home comp.
