Post your Handsome and Beautiful picture here for all to cherish.

[Guava Jelly]

Here is one from a few days ago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I really like your pic......my dear GoPsUx! I would hardly

say that I am beautiful, though......

What do you think?

[Guava Jelly]

2. I would say you are quite beautiful

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear GoPsUx...........

Thanks, sweetie.....you are too kind! :blush:

I certainly appreciate it, though....:hug:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

7. You look absolutely wonderful CaliforniaPeggy

You always look great in your pictures. I particularly like your smile -it is so warm and sincere -but then again that goes for your whole facial expression. Which of course reflects the kind of person you are

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear socialdemocrat!

Oh, I thank you so much! That is very sweet of you to say!

I tend to be happy......and this is how it manifests itself....... :hug:

[lukasahero]

89. I would say you are beautiful too

Warm eyes and a welcoming smile. That's beautiful to me. :)

(Not to mention all the wonderful thoughts of yours I've read. :))

[CaliforniaPeggy]

121. My dear lukasahero!

Well......thank you so much! What a nice introduction you just made to me....

I don't believe we've chatted before......

I really appreciate your very kind thoughts here today!

:hi:

[lukasahero]

137. Not personally, no but I read your words

I think you are charming and when I saw your self-deprecation about the picture, I just had to speak up. You ARE beautiful and you should never doubt it. :hug:

Please note, I don't have a reputation here for saying things just to flatter people. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

141. My dear lukasahero......

Well, I am at a loss for words....

I have never thought of myself as beautiful.....

Especially when compared to the lovely young women who populate DU....

So I thank you once again......

And believe me, I know you're being sincere......

I am sensitive to what other people say........ :hug:

[lukasahero]

159. My dear Ms. Peggy

Go back and look at that picture of yourself.

Not with your bathroom mirror eyes, but with mine.

You have nice symmetry, lovely (blue?) eyes, a charming smile - heck, you even have freckles!

It's a lovely picture, and you are a lovely lady. It's honest.

I heard a report about Rembrandt this morning on NPR and about what made his self-portraits so artful. It was his honesty. It was that he didn't gloss over the pain the years had exerted on him. He didn't "make him self up" to be some young hero when he was bent and defeated.

Similarly, I see that in your photo (no, not the bent and defeated part ;) ). I see (and perhaps this is arrogant and naive of me but) I see you in your photo. Not who you would like others to believe you are but simply who you really are. There's nothing more beautiful than the confidence to be just that.

:hug: back at ya.

But I must got to bed now. I hope to speak to you again someday soon.

[NewWaveChick1981]

132. I love it, CP!

:hi: You're very photogenic!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

139. My dear NewWaveChick!

I appreciate your thoughtful remarks a lot.......

Me? Photogenic?

You are too kind, sweetie! :hug:

[L A Woman]

165. oh yes you are

your eyes are so sparkly and full of life - you are very, very beautiful, indeed! :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

174. My dear L A Woman!

Omigod.....and this from a definitely beautiful lady herself.... :blush:

Thank you so much........what a sweetheart!

[Anarcho-Socialist]

231. Very beautiful

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

243. My dear Anarcho-Socialist.......

Oh, I thank you so much!

You surprise me...very pleasantly, too......:blush:

[GOPisEvil]

4. Time for pie!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Ah, my dear GOPisEvil........

I remember this picture! That was such a fun evening!

You look great, BTW....

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

8. Thanks!

That was a very fun night!

I think I look a little better now. Slightly, anyway.

:hi:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

9. That's probably the best picture I've seen of you to date David

And you've posted some very good pictures in the past. Looking good there :thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

13. Thank you!

:blush:

[Guava Jelly]

14. Looks like a handsome guy with a pie :)

I rhymed hey ma .. now if i could just spell

[GOPisEvil]

18. Thanks!

Hey, one issue at a time... ;)

[miss_american_pie]

25. What kind of pie?

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

27. American

;)

Actually, it was pecan. :hi:

[miss_american_pie]

29. Oh don't start

not my fault you left it out of the OP. :P

[GOPisEvil]

31. Oh, you love it when I start!

Admit it! :P

[miss_american_pie]

32. No

I love it when you finish. :evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

34. Yeah, but you love the

"during" too! :evilgrin:

[miss_american_pie]

36. Only when

you remember the ice cream. :D

[GOPisEvil]

38. I can swing by the creamery and pick some up any time.

Brenham isn't too far from here. :D

[miss_american_pie]

42. You'd never make it here

before it all melted. :)

[GOPisEvil]

45. Oh, where there's a will, there's a way.

:)

[miss_american_pie]

48. There are lots of ways

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

52. Oh believe me, I've given them lots of thought.

;)

[miss_american_pie]

56. Penny for your thoughts?

Unless they'd lock the thread.

[GOPisEvil]

58. They'd lock this thread and throw away the key!

:D

[Guava Jelly]

33. Hi miss_american_pie

and where is your lovely picture tonight?
:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

35. Hi there

Don't have any news ones since the last time I posted one. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

37. Yeah, but you're so

cute when you're cross. :hi:

[miss_american_pie]

39. Oh you're smooth

but I'm still not posting it. :D

[GOPisEvil]

41. No matter...

...I have a good memory. ;)

[miss_american_pie]

47. Just so long

as the blood supply lasts. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

50. Well...

...let's just say that...well, that image has an effect on blood supply. :blush:

[miss_american_pie]

51. ...

Need a hand with that? ;)

[GOPisEvil]

53. Er...

...not normally, but if you're offering...:blush:

[miss_american_pie]

54. Well if I caused the problem

it's only fair I help fix it. :D

[GOPisEvil]

55. That's quite nice of you!

Taking personal responsibility is so refreshing these days. :D

[miss_american_pie]

57. I can be very nice

when I want to. :D

[GOPisEvil]

59. Well, it's nice to be nice...to the nice...

/Frank Burns

:D

[Guava Jelly]

40. Your mug no matter how recent is always a joy for all to view

Hope you are doing well.
:hi: right back.

[miss_american_pie]

43. Thank you

I am.

[NewWaveChick1981]

133. Mmmmm...pie....

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

135. It was quite tasty!

:hi:

[Robb]

5. Row, row, row Robb's boat....

It may look idyllic, but I'm actually smuggling heroin and explosives out to a Russian-flagged freighter with INTERPOL agents on jetskis tailing me.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

11. Ummm...good luck with that -don't forget the alcohol for Boris Yeltsin

:)

Nice picture Robb:thumbsup:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

232. If you need a Swiss passport, you can ask for "Boris" at Pier 3

[Guava Jelly]

28. Before what?? ..you get more beautiful :)

Aint i such a sweet talker?

I have my own before and afters..
I sure can't wait to see yours.

[bertha katzenengel]

30. I'll have an "After" picture in a while.

To talk about why would be the equivalent of commenting on a no-hitter in the 7th inning.

And yes, you are a sweet talker. :blush:

:hug:

edit: btw, your eyes beg to listen to someone who's feeling down.

[u4ic]

247. Now that look screams "sass"!

:thumbsup: :D

[bertha katzenengel]

321. Heh.

:blush:

[mzteris]

How YOU doin'?

[bicentennial_baby]

79. I am wonderful!

Living in the 'burbs of Beantown, chilling until skool starts. Have registration/orientation at the end of the month...Cannot *wait* to be back in school, I'm having serious nerd withdrawal. :P

But, another 4.0 this past semester...even an A in Precalc! w00t! :bounce:

How about you? What are you up to?

[GOPisEvil]

80. Congratulations!

:toast: You rock!

I'm sort of in a holding pattern. I'm about to take a test for a professional license, and I'm thinking about taking some more classes related to my job. So that's going well. But, I had a personal life, er, setback, so there's good and bad.

[bicentennial_baby]

81. Oh sweetie...

I hope everything's ok... :hug:

whenever will you come see me in the wilds of New England? :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

83. Oh, it's ok...

...as far as a trip goes, we'll see. I'm still building up vacation time, but I do need a vacation badly!

[bicentennial_baby]

84. Well let me know!

I have a spare bedroom with a full sized bed and goose down pillows with your name on it!! :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

86. Woot!!!!

:bounce: Sweet!!!

JetBlue DOES fly non-stop from Austin to Boston... :think:

[bicentennial_baby]

87. and I'm 250 ft. from the subway!

15 min. to the center of Boston...and I make a mean lasagna!! :bounce:

Heehee, I'm incorrigible! :P

[GOPisEvil]

90. You are!!

I love it! :P

Mmmmmmm...lasagna...:9

[bicentennial_baby]

92. I tempt you with foodstuffs and public transportation!!

Bwahahahaha!! I am a true mastermind! :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

95. The trains are red...the tomato sauce is red...

Coincidence? I think not! :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

96. Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuh....

Yes, in fact, it *is* the Red Line across from my house.... :scared:

[GOPisEvil]

98. Now how did I know?

[GOPisEvil]

[NewWaveChick1981]

67. Hi!

[Guava Jelly]

[NewWaveChick1981]

302. What can I say?

Except :loveya: and :hi: ! Thank you so much...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

318. I have pics of Halekala at sunrise in my journal.

[NewWaveChick1981]

325. Cool! I'll check it out shortly.

That was the most wonderful trip... :hi:

[Aristus]

68. This is me at my most handsome and beautiful:

I don't look like this anymore, alas...

[SeattleGirl]

74. You look mighty fine in that uniform, Aristus.

And I've seen the more recent picture of you, and you look might fine in that one too!

[Aristus]

91. Aw shucks!

:blush:

You're pretty hot yourself, there, SeattleGirl. B-)

[NewWaveChick1981]

146. Very nice pic!

:hi:

[DemoTex]

155. In uniform too ..

Ca. 1970 (NAF Cam Rahn Bay, Viet Nam).

[Aristus]

222. Looking good, as always, Mac.

:thumbsup:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

237. Wow, great picture

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

70. Good pic!

:hi: :loveya:

[flvegan]

82. Hah! Beauty AND the Beast...

Beauty...


Beast (and an old pic at that)...

[Guava Jelly]

85. now thats a handsome guy and a cute dog

or a goodlooking guy and his Bitch (if its a female dog..its what they call them geesh):)

[mzteris]

105. Oh those mesmerizing eyes!!!!!!!

And you ain't so bad yourself!

:rofl:

sorry, I just couldn't resist, Flvegan.

[LeftyMom]

110. You are adorable. Don't argue with me.

Because you are damn it. :loveya:

[jonnyblitz]

117. nice pic of you flvegan but that dog has the sweetest face ever!!

his/her eyes are fucking beautiful!! I can't imagine anyone being cruel to that dog if he/she is one of the dogs you have rescued.

[flvegan]

126. Her, and she is.

And nobody's ever going to mistreat her again.

We turned down a rich-ass family that just wanted a puppy to adopt her to this wonderful single mom and her daughter. Apple of that daughter's eye, I tell you.

[NewWaveChick1981]

147. Love both pics!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

271. You're a mighty handsome beast, flvegan.

:loveya:

[nosillies]

93. I'm new here, but I'll share a shot of part of my handsome family.

In this picture, there are both raging liberals and crazy fundies! Guess who is who.

[miss_american_pie]

94. Welcome to DU

Your family is lovely, the whole lot of them. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

99. Welcome to DU!

Nice looking family, whichever side of the fence they are on.

[nosillies]

104. Well, we somehow all manage to get along.

We just don't tell the grandparents we hang out on DU, so as not to send them to an early grave! :)

P.S. I'm the girl in the back holding the baby.

[SeattleGirl]

112. Some things are best left unsaid, huh?

And I figured that was you with the baby!

[Redstone]

166. Gawdam! You're an attractive woman. And that means something,

because I don't generally favor blondes.

Cute kid too, by the way. Yours?

Redstone

[nosillies]

215. Thanks for the compliment!

My child most days. Some days I'd rather not claim him. He can throw a public temper tantrum like no other.

[Redstone]

228. Ah, they're all like that.

Redstone

[wildhorses]

107. nice to meet you amybhole...

and thanks for sharing. Looks like the typical American family. Was it 4th of July? We always cut a watermelon on the 4th. It is a tradition in my family. I got fundies, too. We argue and then we say a prayer and eat....its what families are for, right?

[nosillies]

123. Not the fourth, just a typical summer day.

We're southern, so we need no excuse to sit on the porch and eat watermelon! And yes, we argue, pray then eat!

[NewWaveChick1981]

148. Great pic!

And it's good to have you here! :hi:

[bridgit]

226. Great Pic!!

142. Thank you!

:blush:

[SeattleGirl]

113. I love this picture of you, LM

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[LeftyMom]

143. Thanks!

It's one of my favorites. I prefer others, but posting a pic of me carrying my kid or petting a turkey really isn't in keeping with the theme of the thread.

[Guava Jelly]

114. sorta seductive leftymom

163. fits the category of beautiful picture

Thank you for sharing it :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

197. Very nice pic!

:hi:

[Redstone]

167. Oh, hell, one more time:

Redstone

[WritingIsMyReligion]

173. Nice 'stache.

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[Redstone]

179. Two of them, actually. You can read old stories that mention "fine

mustaches" or similar, but who has them in the plural these days?

(Except me?)

Redstone

[flvegan]

177. I JUST figured it out!

If one added about 30 years to this pic, no offense sir, but Sam Elliott, right around the time he did Tombstone. Even the voice seems to fit.

I do think he'd need to probably drop 6 inches in height, though.

[Redstone]

181. More than 6 inches, I think. Mr Elliott, fine actor that he is, (and

wasn't he PERFECT in "Gettysburg"), is more than that shy of my six feet and four inches.

And I will readily admit that he can grow a mustache of which I can only dream.

Nice doggie in your post, by the way. I'm not sure if you know about this, but there's a special corner of Heaven reserved for people who spend their time helping dogs. It's got green fields where the pooches can romp, and there are Frisbees and tennis balls everywhere for the playing.

And beer for those who throw the balls and Frisbees.

Redstone

[flvegan]

183. Yes, yes

A great actor, though I think he's not quite on our side, politically. Oh, well. I also found him to be the ONLY high point in that Swayze "Roadhouse" flick. Tall, lanky guy kicking ass, taking names against bigger, younger fellas. Nice. Still...the voice is gonna stick, sorry.

Thanks. They say that the Rainbow Bridge is a special place, especially for a rescuer. I'm gonna wait to cross until I can break a record. I also hear that this is the only time thieves get a pass...but that beer is going to be tough to hold out for!

[Redstone]

184. The Rainbow Bridge...hadn't thought about that for years.

I will in my dreams tonight, though.

Redstone

[flvegan]

187. Legend has it, that

it's something like this:

Unlike most days at Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray, damp as a swamp and as dismal as could be imagined. All of the recent arrivals had no idea what to think, as they had never experienced a day like this before.

But the animals who had been waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was going on and started to gather at the pathway leading to The Bridge to watch.

It wasn't long before an elderly animal came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. The other animals, the ones who had been there for a while, knew what his story was right away, for they had seen this happen far too often.

He approached slowly, obviously in great emotional pain, but with no sign of injury or illness. Unlike all of the other animals waiting at The Bridge, this animal had not been restored to youth and made healthy and vigorous again.

As he walked toward The Bridge, he watched all of the other animals watching him. He knew he was out of place here and the sooner he could cross over, the happier he would be. But, alas, as he approached The Bridge, his way was barred by the appearance of an Angel who apologized, but told him that he would not be able to pass. Only those animals who were with their people could pass over Rainbow Bridge.

With no place else to turn to, the elderly animal turned towards the fields before The Bridge and saw a group of other animals like himself, also elderly and infirm. They weren't playing, but rather simply lying on the green grass, forlornly staring out at the pathway leading to The Bridge. And so, he took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting.

One of the newest arrivals at The Bridge didn't understand what he had just witnessed and asked one of the animals that had been there for awhile to explain it to him.

"You see, that poor animal was a rescue. He was turned in to rescue just as you see him now, an older animal with his fur graying and his eyes clouding. He never made it out of rescue and passed on with only the love of his rescuer to comfort him as he left his earthly existence. Because he had no family to give his love to, he has no one to escort him across The Bridge."

The first animal thought about this for a minute and then asked, "So what will happen now?" As he was about to receive his answer, the clouds suddenly parted and the gloom lifted. Approaching The Bridge could be seen a single person, and among the older animals, a whole group was suddenly bathed in a golden light and they were all young and healthy again, just as they were in the prime of life.

"Watch, and see," said the second animal. A second group of animals from those waiting came to the pathway and bowed low as the person neared. At each bowed head, the person offered a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. The newly restored animals fell into line and followed her towards The Bridge. They all crossed The Bridge together.

"What happened?"

"That was a rescuer. The animals you saw bowing in respect were those who found new homes because of her work. They will cross when their new families arrive. Those you saw restored were those who never found homes. When a rescuer arrives, they are allowed to perform one, final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort those poor animals that they couldn't place on earth across The Rainbow Bridge."

"I think I like rescuers", said the first animal.

"So does GOD", was the reply.

[Redstone]

227. I had remembered the story, but not in such detail. Thanks.

[I Have A Dream]

300. Wow! This really choked me up.

I love this story. (I'd never heard it before.)

Blessings to you, flvegan.

[Whoa_Nelly]

212. It was a sweet moment captured on film by a friend

My friend wanted to do some B&W photography, and all I did was ask my baby boy to give his mom a kiss. He came over, grabbed my hand and gave his mommy a smooch.

It's a photo I treasure of my one and only baby :)
(Or as I've always told my son, "You're my favorite son." He still gets a chuckle out of that.)

[NewWaveChick1981]

203. Awww... I love it!

[Kerrytravelers]

351. Our friends have that same alphabet green and blue thingy on their fridge.

The rest of us (all childless) thought it would be fun to make inappropriate words on it. Their two year old learned how to say Pee-Pee and F-U-K is fuck that night. And thus, we learned the lesson, children are sponges and they do indeed repeat everything they hear.

[Nickster]

214. Here I am! Woo Hoo!

green is my second favorite, but i like yellow.
so how was cuba?
my mom has been and she liked the place.

[Lautremont]

308. It was amazing. Wonderful people.

I'd go back in a hot second. Best to visit soon, before Fidel dies and the place opens up to yanqui influences.

[Ava]

311. my mom went in the 80's

at the time she had a friend who lived there. (he was a surfer and musician)

The only out of coutry place i've visited is the Bahamas.. and that's not too much really.

[catbert836]

309. With much reluctance...

here I am:

[Ava]

312. you're a cutie

i like your cat. i have three (two of them look like yours)

[catbert836]

Skippy (who was napping) -


Kiko (who likes to pose for the camera) -


and Punkin (who is clueless but adorable) -

[catbert836]

That last one pretty much describes my Carmel... clueless but adorable.

[Ava]

skippy is smart and thinks he's a human. kiko is bipolar. :rofl:

Great to see another beautiful woman on here. :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

323. I think I'm completely beautiful in this picture.

Oh, that's not classy enough. How about this?

It's the shots of Florence in the background making it classy. My head is blocking Naples.

Hey girl! You've been missed!! :pals:

[slinkerwink]

330. thanks!

Aww, thanks! Hey, how do I get rid of my signature? It's been a while since I've posted on DU.

[bicentennial_baby]

331. Go into "Options"

and into "Edit Profile". Your sig will be in the box at the bottom. :)

[slinkerwink]

332. thanks again!

Just figured it out. How've you been doing?

[bicentennial_baby]

333. i'm awesome!

Moved out to the burbs of Beantown (Quincy), staring my Junior year at UMASS Boston with a dual major Econ/French this fall. Oh yeah, and last summer I: 1)fell in love with two wonderful people (DUers), 2) went to Paris, 3) dumped my bf of 6 years, and 4) entered into a magnificent relationship with the aforementioned two DUers, who I now live with. :)

How about you? Done with Smith? Where are you at now? :)

[slinkerwink]

335. life post-college

I'm definitely done with that, and I'm somewhere in our Nation's capital doing shtuff :-) Can't go into further details, but I'm enjoying life and thinking about grad school. I went to Paris also last summer--it was fantastic!

[Guava Jelly]

334. you resemble a certain actress to me

[slinkerwink]

336. It's only from that angle that I look somewhat like her

from others, I certainly don't.

[Guava Jelly]

337. well thats a good angle for you

:)

[Anarcho-Socialist]

It's lovely to hear your life is going well too. Good look with the degree! :hi:
