If you lost the beard you would look a LOT like my older brother.
Harrumph. Where were you when I was over in April?
I’m always late to these threads, and I feel like I’m crashing a party. But here goes, here’s me, goofy as always.
Thanks! That dress made me nervous. I felt like everyone could see my bellybutton if they stood too close and looked down, but it doesn’t look quite as indecent in the photographs. As to the décolletage, my husband is very appreciative, but nobody* else says much of anything about it.
*Except my mother, who is always handing me wraps so I can “cover up”.
You are much cuter than that picture shows.
Thank you, Beaucarnea, for the compliment. 
Ok, after 6 pages, I’m finally ready to admit this. Atomictom, all this time I thought you were a woman. Before you take offense, it’s not because I saw any femininity flowing from your posts. (not that there’s anything wrong with that) It’s because, for all of this time, my eyes have been seeing your name as AtomicMom. :smack: Yeesh. Sorry.
Thanks, Beau for the compliment. I’ll try to get a better picture of my hound, who is a twin of yours, on flickr today.
(You all know that** Beau** is one of the prettiest girls on the 'Dope, right? Oh, of course not, because she is holding out on us…)
If I had a dollar for every time a poster said that, I’d have a free membership.
The sad part is that Tom isn’t even my name. It’s my middle name (actually, Thomas). Nobody IRL knows me as Tom. The screenname was an alliteration I thought rolled off the tongue. Little did I realize the confusion it would cause.
ETA: Do Dope rules allow you to change your moniker if it causes everyone to think you’re somebody’s mother?
Yes, everyone thought my name was Dan.
Your mom and me both. The Fem-Bot[sub]tm[/sub] put on the dress she bought to attend a slew of Sweet 16’s. ( She’s 15 1/2).
I calmly viewed it and said, " Honey, you just look beautiful. Now, you’re making my brain explode so put on a shawl."
She just laughed. And laughed. And kissed my cheek.
God I’m old. :rolleyes:
Thank you! I am actually a lot older than I assume I look. I will be 45 this year. The oldest pic on the Flickr site is six years old. The rest are anywhere from a month to three years old. I like these threads. They satisfy my curiosity and boost my ego. What more could I want?? Thanks again! 
What magical elixir are you taking that makes a 45 year-old look like that??! And can I borrow some? You look better at 45 than I do at 36.
At least two here (but sadly it seems Crush 1 is hot for Crush 2!)
So, how you doin’?

auRa, you’re femaie? I had no idea. You have one of the cooler usernames; I always just want to roll that R.

So how come you didn’t come to a TronnaDope? 
Thank you!
I can tell you at least one. I’ve now got an email address stored saved just in case the whole “husband thing” don’t work out.
Mmm, I was busy-busy and not in Toronto. But! I will be up for future such meetings, possibly. Also, I’m totally up for EuroDopeFests over the next while.
