This is not a recent photo, but it's a photo of yours truly on my last trip to Vegas...about 3 years ago. I'm hoping to go again soon.

Gee girl - where's that shrinking Violet that had T Al doing the Photoshop puzzle piece routine to try and figure out what you looked like! Well met - howdy!

Heh….I think when that pic was taken, I had been up for about 20 hours…and wuz a bit buzzed.

My plans are to go to Vegas next month or in September. Y’all come out and join me….we’ll have a blast! ...........(if y'all like, we can leave the cameras at home)

I'd recognize that manicure anywhere--you look just like you sound!

Mr. bbbam surely hit the jackpot.

 

[TromboneAl]

Yay, finally, the full Monty. You look like a winner!

Great pic ! I think Vegas is a hoot ! Free drinks ! Slots ! Great shows ! What's not to like !

 

[bbbamI]

Y'all sure do know how to make this ol' girl feel good. It's been a tough year...and I'm sure enjoying the smiles and laughter right about now.

Now c'mon....don't hold back....post a few pics of your own!

Spouse and me last month at the new visitor's center of the USS ARIZONA Memorial. Unfortunately it's hard to tell that I'm wearing my favorite Taz surfing t-shirt.

OK, I've posted pics before, but since you asked, here is another one of DH and I during a local hike here a few months ago.

Love it! You look so happy in your retirement!

The down side is that my face hurts after 18 months of smiling - it's not used to the exercise.

Best form of strength training if you ask me!

Me from a couple yrs ago...fishing in Louisiana

 

[bbbamI]

Simple girl...every time I see a pic of you and your DH, y'all look like you're on your honeymoon.

Alan...I swear you could be a poster child for ER.

Marty....great pic! Fishing is one of my favorite pastimes.......

Here we are with friends from university on their patio. I am on the left and DW has the light top.

Thank you!

The other half of this cropped photo showed my old high-school girlfriend and her spouse/kids. (We gave them a tour of the Memorial during their whirlwind visit to the islands.) I enjoyed meeting the family, although it was a bit of a surprise to see my spouse's competitive dark side (briefly) reassert itself. But we were all smiling at the end.

The down side is that my face hurts after 18 months of smiling - it's not used to the exercise.

It gets easier as you build up the muscles and gain more experience. And ibuprofen can help temporarily relieve the swelling!

You may also have lost your appreciation of your reference threshold for pain. Perhaps returning to work in your old office for a couple weeks, or simply spending eight hours a day practicing your "office face", would make the smiling pain seem negligible by comparison.

I'd like to tell you how those last two methods worked out, but the patients I've recommended that to have never contacted me again for a followup.

Nords,

Thanks for the advice. I might try the ibuprofein, but my pain threshold is probably too low to try the other suggestion

Nice picture! You and your wife are a good looking couple and your friends look like they'd be fun to hang out with!
