Kaili | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 10:41 am     Hi Justalittlebean- I wrote you back Hope the instructions make sense. Just click on formatting at the top of this page and click on it- at the top of that page click on "Other Formatting" then scroll down to "Images, Attachments, and Clipart". I use cut and paste when I post pictures so I don't have to bother with typing it out and inevitably typing it wrong. Cut the tag that says "\image {Text description}" - if you cut and paste you don't have to worry about accidentally using the wrong brackets or leaving a space. You can then change the words "Text description" to whatever the name of the picture is (if you want). I often don't bother changing it. When you click to post it'll take you to where you look for your picture on your computer, like when you send an attachment on an email. |
Hippyt | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 11:05 am     Great photos folks! Cathie,the couch has blinded me! |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 11:22 am     Hi Tebby! So ya think I look like Annette Funicello...LOL...why...thank you! The funny thing to me is that in my younger years lots of people would ask if I was related to Shirley Temple...honestly! LOL. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 11:26 am     i was thinking her, too, eg, and almost said her instead of annette. you are a cross between the two of them and the best of each. i didn't want to say shirley temple black in case you didn't think she was pretty--and i do think she is! but there is a resemblance to her when she was in her early 30's and her hair had darkened. so you also look very young!! you lucky dog. |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 11:28 am     Bow wow, woof-woof...LOL |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 11:34 am     ugh, when i was 12, we had a house in the los gatos hills that shirley temple black and her husband looked at when it was for sale. (mickey dolenz' mom and step-dad looked at it, too). anyway, i think shirley was maybe 38 or 40 at the time. you look just like she did from when i met her at our house. i thought she looked like 'snow white' LOL hey, i liked to fantasize. when i saw julie christie in 'dr. zhivago', i used to think/hope/pray she was my real mom and would come to school and walk into my class and announce to everyone she was coming to take me home to live with her! the funny thing is i look exactly like my real mom! i'd rather look like julie christie LOL |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:00 pm     LOL Tabs...I wish Julie Christie was my mom too! And how cool that Shirley Temple Black looked at your house in Los Gatos...wow! You know in those days, the land there was so widespread and gorgeous...I'm sure it's all built up and filled with housing tracts nowadays. I grew up in the delta region, east of San Francisco and I remember the wide open spaces...yes, those were the days! |
Sia | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:11 pm     How about if we have another thread of pictures of ourselves and family members that we have DOCTORED? I have a program called ArcSoftPhotoFantasy that lets you put your face into someone else's photo and it's hysterical. I will try to start a thread for that if there are no objections. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:15 pm     did you grow up near benicia? in los gatos, there used to be a one-mile long dirt road you had to take to our paved drive that went straight up a hill for 1/4 mile. (how i hated it when mom didn't meet us at the bus stop and we had to walk the dirt road and then the straight uphill one!) i went back about 10 years ago, and the dirt road is paved and there are one-acre lots with huge homes on them. i mean 5 and 6 thousand sf and all different. a tudor next to the taj mahal knock-off, etc. one acre does not separate homes that large very well! anyway, the streets were done with old fashion street lights, etc. and all these snobby people were out walking their purebred dogs with rhinestone collars and looking at me as if i were way out of my neighborhood! i laughed out loud to think they were all living in homes where the land was swampy and full of poison oak and the only people who used to live there lived in single-wide trailers and sold dope for a living. i wanted to say, "i used to live in that big white house on top of the hill!" but i refrained. i also did not drive up to my old house because the road ends at the house and it used to annoy us to have car after car drive up on a sunday afternoon and have to turn around in our yard, even though a sign at the bottom of the hill clearly stated it was private property and it was not a through street! that house was cool. well it was hot once. it burned down. but we rebuilt it and it had 7 bedrooms. i loved that house! when we swam, we could look out over the valley. when we hiked up the hill above our house, we used to be able to see all the way to san francisco. now there is so much pollution in silicon valley, you probably can't see as far as you can spit. one time, my sisters and i found a silver dollar. we started digging around where we found it and we found about 30 more. they were all from the late 1800's. i wanted to dig up the whole 3 acres, but my dad wouldn't let us! we sold that house for 69k in 1967 or 68 and the last time it was on the market, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, it listed for almost 6 million dollars. if we knew then what we know now! |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:17 pm     sia, cool! put my face on cindy crawford's body. then take the face off and put julie christie's face circa 1966 on it and voila! you have tebby! |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:22 pm     Wowza Tabs, that's quite a story and I absolutely know the area you are speaking of...I was in that area a few years back and I was wondering if Hollywood type people lived in some of those mini-mansions. I grew up in Antioch. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:33 pm     when i worked in concord (at treat and oak boulevards), our hygienist was from antioch. her hubby was a pilot. it was affordable then...not now, i'll bet! |
Lucy | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 12:53 pm     Hey Eggie, My Grandparents lived in Antioch in the late 60's and 70's. We used to go visit every three weeks, and I have great memories of Antioch (besides the long drive from San Jose)! I live about 10 minutes from Los Gatos (Tabby and I actually know some of the same people from LG). Lots of those big estates are owned by executives from high tech companies. I even got to go to a party at Steve Wozniak's house once! I'm always amazed at how many other "average" people just struck it rich with stock options during the 80's and 90's, and they bought those huge mansions too. |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 01:49 pm     Hey Lucy, re: Antioch, it's a small world after all! My aunt currently owns/runs two restaurants in Antioch, the biggest is Humphrey's On The Delta...a really nice restaurant, even if I say so myself. As for Los Gatos, like I said earlier, I was just amazed that the wide open spaces I recalled from my childhood 'daze' were now filled with these lucious mini-mansions...really nice homes up that way. Oh cool that you and Tabby know some of the same people from LG...(still singing.."it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all..." |
Moondance | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 02:08 pm     Sisalou - I love the ballet pix and your baby pix is too cute! Cathie - Cowboy is a cutie and your daughter with the kitty is my favorite! Bonny, that pix is a classic! |
Landi | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:00 pm     okay this is too small of a world... i used to work on treat... my sister in law lives off of treat (right around the corner from delasalle/carondolet... i grew up in castro valley and alamo. my husband grew up in concord... has anyone ever done a tvch map? |
Cathie | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Thanks, Moondance--I should have guessed you would like the kitty one Cowboy is 27, single, 6'8", and a real sweetie...most of the time, lol. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:32 pm     landi, i worked in a dental office at the corner of oak grove and treat blvds, directly across from a giant burger and a lucky's store. (one time i was crossing the street and i had to stay on the island to wait for traffic to go by. as i stood there, a vw bug with teenage boys cruised by and one of them reached out and slapped me on the ass. i whirled around and then i heard him say, "oh, s#it! it's a grown lady!") made my day! |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:34 pm     cathie, dd will be 16 soon. can't 'cowboy' wait another 9 or 10 years? she is almost 5'1" now and she hopes she is still growing |
Moondance | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:40 pm     Cathie... does he like older women??? My pix is archived if needed |
Sia | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:41 pm     Yes, Landi, there's been a map. I think Ryn did it a while back. Maybe search the archives, or Dra or someone will find it for you. |
