Ok this might not be a good idea but I thought I would bring it up. Do any of you guys and gals wonder what we all look like? I often wonder who the person I'm talking to looks like. How about putting pics up so we know who we are talking to. Is this a good idea?

Barbara and I discovered that Bob doesn't look anything like we pictured him. We thought he was taller, older, and skinny as a stick. Isn't it funny how we get a picture of someone in our head that is usually WAY OFF from what they look like.
Anyhoo, my pic is on the Falls City Rockhound Trip thread along with Barbara and Bob's.
BTW, I think a "Mug Shots" thread is a great idea.

Hehe ;D , John, you look like 3 different people buddy. I think I saw your pic in the post office? Just kiddin, I couldn't help it, I usually don't tease about pics. I'm as bald as a cue ball, scratch that - an agate sphere, lol. I must have missed the Texas rock run pics somehow, gonna go take a look. I think the mug shot thing is a good idea, it is nice to put a face with the name. I'll post one of me and my little rock hound granddaughter when I find a good one.

OK, I have a confession to make. Every one here signs by there real name but me. My name is Nanette. I use cookie as a screen name on the internet, it's an old nickname of my husbands family. I just wanted to be safe. I have goten to really like the name cookie, I like being called that by all of you. No one else calls me that. I go by my middle name, allways have, and there is only one person I let call me by my first name. He's 71 and likes that name better. Hope no one will hold that against me. I really prefer to sign off by cookie, my new nickname. What do you think? As soon as I can find a way to post pics I'll do so, especialy since I have my beautiful new rocks. Love the idea of seeing what everyone looks like!

Well, I'll post my picture if you all do but I'm warning you - every picture taken of me makes me look either FUBAR'ed or mean. I have a bad eye and it looks funky in photos. Even Glamour Shots couldn't help, and that's truly sad! But, I will if you will. My name is Taryl but all the people at work call me Tarylina because I'm very outgoing, but a little bit strange (goes along with the eye thing.) Fun, but weird. That's me! God love my patient husband's soul and my poor children who love me in spite of myself. Hey, how do you put the little saying at the bottom of every post, like a signature? I want one! Cookie - I like that. I love nicknames. I have nicknames for everyone I know, whether they like it or not. Sometimes real names don't really fit people. I mean, you never had a choice, did you? Whoever in the world would TEXT to be called "Harvey Ernie Carmichael III?" I say call yourself whatever fits. "Bambi" is the one exception to that rule.

I think that pics of everyone would be great! I'd like to see real pics of who I'm talking to. Besides that, Llana, Bob, John and I already have our pics out there on this forum. Come on, guys! We want to know what y'all look like, too!
By the way, my name is Barbara, but my nickname (or one of them, anyway) is B.E.

OK, John. You only had to wait 1hr 10 mins? I looked at my drivers pic and man, I was scalding too..hehe. I think I had a 2 hr wait last time. How do we ever leave rocks in 60-90 for 2 weeks?
Cookie, stick with cookie. It works for ya, it's a nice nick name. I just used my e-mail addy for a screen name, not very imaginative huh? 1st name, midde initial, and first 3 letters of my last name.
Skipper, good idea putting the mug shots in the visitor and members section, I'll stick mine there too.
Tarlina, don't worry about the bad eye. Fun and weird is a 'good' thing. To put the little sayings on your post just click on the sub icon (5th from the right on the bottom row) and add what you want between the brackets.
Barbara, I like BE. And it's much easier to spell ;D
A gem cannot be created without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.... ancient Chinese saying

I'd much rather be behind the camera than in front of it! I look like a doofus in most of the pics taken of me. Oh well, sometimes I AM a doofus! ;D The last two times I went to the DL office I had to wait - let's see - all of about 2 MINUTES and I was outta there. I must be living right. I don't remember ever having to wait more than a few minutes, but I don't live in a big city with zillions of people. It pays to live out in the sticks in Texas. It's probably a good thing I have never had to wait or I would be driving around on an expired license. I HATE waiting in lines. If someone was giving away a million bucks and I had wait in line to get it - forget it, I don't want or need it bad enough to stand in line for more than a few minutes. I just don't do waiting in lines! The patience I have learned waiting on my tumblers has NOT extended to waiting in line. Our WalMart used to have signs on all the register lanes that if more than three people were in line they would open another register. Well, most of the time there were three registers open and three dozen people standing in line. I would ask for the manager and ask him/her why there wasn't another register open when there were so many people in line. Got all sorts of excuses, but rarely was another register open. I did that everytime when there were more than three people in line. One day, the signs were gone! Don't know if other folks raised hell with the manager too. I don't suffer from "road rage" but standing in line rage is a whole 'nother story! ;D

Some one clued me in that if you wait till later in the afternoon the line goes faster. Everyone who is there to take the actual driving test goes first. Last time I went in at 4:30 and was out before 5:00. before that I went in at 10am and was out at 5.
