A recent self-portrait.
(Like, three minutes ago kinda recent…and man, I need to get out in the sun more)

If you lost the beard you would look a LOT like my older brother.

This sounds like the making of a NetherDope!

Who said that?

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.
[QUOTE=Beaucarnea]
FaerieBeth, you have really nice eyes, but that décolletage is breath-taking. Do men run into walls when they walk near you? I’d run into a wall.
[/QUOTE]
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”.
[QUOTE=Millit the Frail]
Never posted my picture before, except to the Mafia 3 thread. And then, only because I was hoping I’d be remembered as a “she.” But OK, here goes: A little blurry, and small, but I like the expression on my face.
I don’t look like that every day, though, of course. 
[/QUOTE]
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:
[QUOTE=interface2x]
Old? Not sure I see that.
In other news, I’ve suddenly decided I need to move to Maryland…

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.

So, how many Dope crushes have been cultivated by this insidious thread already?

At least two here (but sadly it seems Crush 1 is hot for Crush 2!)

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.
[QUOTE=Sunspace]
So how come you didn’t come to a TronnaDope?
[/QUOTE]
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.
