KidsHappen Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It was funny one day. There was a knock on the door. It was one of Jehovah's Witnesses. My ds was just a tiny tyke at the time, like 18months and came to the door with me. The woman asked for my mom. I told her I was a mom and she couldn't hide her surprise and mentioned how young I looked. Then my daughter, who was 4, I guess, came over to see who mama was talking to. I was sure the woman would fall over! "She's yours too?" "Yes ma'am" :) So hubby, being the silly guy he is came up behind me, put his arm around my shoulders and said, "hey mama..." We all laughed. (Note: I surprised her even more when she came back six months later and I had 3 more littles!) I was a real baby face. I think I did gain some age with gaining the weight. I wonder if I will lose or gain years by losing weight. Guess I'll have to keep losing to find out :D I have repeatedly been mistaken for my dds' sibling and people never believe me when I tell them how many children I have and how old they are. People are especially disbelieving if I am with my son or oldest dd. They both have more grey hair than I do and then the fact that I have gc is enough to really push them over the edge. As I said elsewhere in the thread, is is entirely due to luck. I think it is to make up for the fact that I really got shortchanged in the health and sanity department.

Nakia Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ok, how do I add a photo? After you click reply, there will be a little paperclip symbol at the top of the reply box. Click on that, and then you can upload a picture from your computer. Once you upload, click on the paperclip again, and you should be able to select that picture to go right into your message as an attachment.

Parrothead Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Some of y'all are REALLY young looking, especially for the age of your children! For some of y'all my age and older, how are you keeping it from happening? I've noticed considerable aging in the last two years. Soon I'm going to look old enough to have a 15 and 18yr old (or maybe I already do....shhhh). I would like to put it off though. Any ideas? Not me. I've aged quite a bit in the couple of years. I've had the grandma comment already. I don't have a photo of me on the computer or I'd post one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I don't have a photo of me on the computer or I'd post one. Me neither. I want to play, but the only one I can find on my computer is one from a curly girl thread a while ago - and it's not a good one. Maybe I'll get the kids to take a pic of me for a change just so I can post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Not me. I've aged quite a bit in the couple of years. I've had the grandma comment already. I don't have a photo of me on the computer or I'd post one. I've had the grandma comment too - when I was with my 13 year old son. One look at my stormy face had the guy revising what he called me!

hsmom3tn Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I hate having my picture taken, so there aren't many pics of me to choose from. I changed my avatar from my usual fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls (my favorite candy:)), so that I could put a pic of myself there. You probably can't see it well, so I'll keep looking for another one.

Saille Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I swear you look about 25, Dawn. Amazing! Who knew the homeschool moms were such a bunch of hotties?! I know, and look at all these gorgeous nature backgrounds, too! Proof we are not always in front of the screens. I agree, Dawn is one of those people who always has a "real" avatar, and I've always thought she's adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ya know, I thought the same exact thing, but I didn't say it. Her avatar has a sarcastic (for lack of a better word) look to it. Her photo is very sweet. See -- I don't like the sarcastic word either. That's why I didn't say anything to begin with. Funny. I thought, "Well, I already know what Smrt Mama looks like."

Nestof3 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have to say that I have met Jessica, and she is the cutest thing. Very stylish! Me in Barcelona Spain a year ago. My hair is different any given day. At this time I was straightening it. Another day I might let it be its weird spastic curly. Today it's...I don't know...annoying! :) Uh, oh. I lost the picture.

Okay now, this is 9pm at night after a long, slightly difficult day. I've taught school with not especially cooperative boys today, took them all out to finish Halloween costume shopping, cleaned house a bit, and cooked supper all with a headache, so be gentle.
