holiday reunion around here

I would love to see all the members, but especially those alienated by the new forum to be cajoled into one last fling thru the holidays.

In a perfect world, they would give a little insight into themselves, especially some pics, themselves and their loved ones, old and new, as well as pics of things in their life, work they have done, accomplishments, themselves with their cars from back in the day.

In other words, show yourselves, I would love to put some images to you people, you came along in a very special time in our lives, and you have been such a blessing.

Here at the holidays, It would be the best gift I could get, so pm or email a few guys who gave up here and tell them for a month or so, we are going to have a reunion, after that they can wander off again, but lets do this for us.

We love you people,

scott and deb

    Such a svelte figure for your age, George. How do you do it? I've been exercising and dieting now for almost a half year and have an almost 25 on the BMI. I should be six pounds less than I am and T-DAY is around the corner. OMG!

    Nice pic with your grandson!

    Best man at my brother's wedding, took a "selfie" to see if it would come out.

    7zty4ftduk9l.jpg

    Candid shot when I asked my sister to hold my phone so I could take pictures with the rest of the wedding party. I was standing around like a chooch just waiting to be told where to stand.

    ucxidexy3o9a.jpg




    BTW, cnh, I was at a minute clinic a few weeks ago 'cause I thought I had a staph infection but it turned out to be shingles (that's a story and a half). One of the things they told me was that I was "borderline obese" because I have a BMI of 28.8. I'm 5 foot 7 and 183.8 pounds according to my doctor's scale. When I got fitted for my tux I had a 43 inch chest, 32 inch waist and a 17 1/2 inch neck. They had to "custom fit" my tux so I wouldn't get a "fat guy" tux and look like I was wearing a circus tent.

    John! You look great with all that wiring and stuff coming out of your head. I've seen this image before but I can't place where and when right now. Looking good though for a beluga.

    It's actually a restaurant and banquet place now. This was for my brother's wedding. I would have taken a better picture but everywhere you turn, there's rigging. Besides, it was just to see if the camera on my phone worked in the lighting since I just had it repaired.

    Oh good! You're wearing masks! Couldn't begin to imagine what kind of fecal matter show is behind them!

    Also, I dunno about you but that "TELEPONE" looks a bunch like something we had at my house called The TELEPHONE.

    We kept ours next to a phone book and, coincidentally, a dictionary.
