my solution: no dating or voting (especially Democrat) until she's 24.
the kid in the green can get you a good deal on a slinky though...

Everybody's pics were sooo cute I had to share too. Of course I do tell everyone that I'm biased toward MY nephews, they're the cutest ever! Hard to get them to both smile at the same time, though [img]smile.gif[/img]

JP, This looks like the same soccer club my nephew plays with. Great pics!
It's all about the tan! "Once you go brown, you'll never wear a frown!"™
My heritage is from the Indian subcontinent. But in college, my friends told me that had been washed clean and I was an All-American boy. I was born in NYC and raised in Chicagoland. I wouldn't mind being a native in Hawaii - I can do the laid back attitude real easily! [img]smile.gif[/img]
You took the pics? Very good work! I used to do freelance work as a commercial photographer in college (mostly doing PR shots - turning hobby into some cash). You've got what we called 'the eye' (for being able to see a shot and translate it to film - errr, pixels).
Capuccino, are you are rafter? Your avatar shows some cool looking whitewater. I just did the fall Gauley release again in WV (I need to post pics) and keep trying to convince JP to join me out there one year for a great weekend on mountain biking, hiking, climbing and rapelling, and rafting the most class Vs and V+s in one river (hint, hint JP).

Hey Kaiser, my avatar is a picture of my first and only time rafting, but I can't wait to do it again! Went to visit a friend in Costa Rica and spent a day floating the Rio Paquare, class IV-V.
I can't believe JP would even hesitate taking the trip with you! Post those pics!
Can you post that pic (and others if you have 'em) in a thread so we can see it better?
Going through a river jungle looks very cool. Which section did you do?
How'd you find doing whitewater of that class for your first time out? Any inadvertant 'out of rubber' experiences?
Every year the Gauley fall season claims one or two lives, something the guides never tire of telling us. Getting pinned under an undercut with 10,000 cft of water holding you until the grip reaper shows up would not be my choice of way to die. Then they have to dredge with grappling hooks to get the body out.
I'll post some pics...this is already bringing back some great memories!
This is the section:
San Martin to Siquirres (about 18 miles). A trip of pure magic, unsurpassed beauty, wildlife and ravishing rapids.
Rafting Rio Pacuare - Pascua Section (Class IV) - 1 day

LOL ok yea your right, it is all about the tan. I love that quote!!
Yes, I want to move back someday, luckily it is such a beautiful place I don't think I would ever have a problem getting whoever I am with to go.
Hehehe... Yeah people call me the All-American Girl too... hehe we are the dark skin All-Americans hehe the ones with the flava. *smile*
Yea I took a few photography classes all through HS and about 4 in College. All my prof's told me I should do it for a living, but I like it for a hobby. I love pictures though. I am a visual person. I did some pics of my friends wedding, I felt pretty honored.
Weddings.... uh, bad memories. I was asked by 3 'friends' in a row to do their weddings over the course of 7 months. Not a lot of fun to take pics an entire wedding. So at my brother-in-laws wedding, I made a deal. I'd deliberately take one bad roll and that is what they would show everyone and say I took it. It worked - I never got another call to do a wedding after that. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I still have all of my film equipment and darkroom stuff. Not sure what value it has now in the age of digital.
