You and SD look like you are made for each other. I knew SD and the other one in high school. Thank goodness someone as wonderful as you came into his life.

You guys look so gorgeous! Your bikini is so cute, too! I owned a 1970 VW Bug -- totally restored, fire-engine red, but I hated driving a stick, so I sold it. :-( Wow! You guys look so gorgeous!

Isn't she a BABE! Now as much or more so as then! Ah yes the paunch- I was 6'3" and weighed 145 lbs when I graduated High School and still managed to have a paunch somehow. It's as much a part of me as, well, my toes I guess. (I had a good analogy coming but it left me phhhht just like that) The picture was taken by our 1970 VW Beetle, with a little help from a delay timer on the shutter.

Bless him, even when he was playing tennis on scholarship and fit beyond reason he had it. Our boys inherited it. Bless their hearts. Somewhere there is a happy medium, between being all tarted up and Beauty Pageant Mothers and moms like mine who acted like makeup was made of kerosene and sulphuric acid.

I love his little paunch! My mother was AT ME every second to tart myself up (yes, she actually called it that), use makeup and tease my hair <i>and just "do something" with myself. </i> She despised the counterculture for making it okay for me to throw away the Maybelline. She even tried to force me into a effing BEAUTY PAGEANT. Stuff like that can, you know, make a radical feminist out of you. ;) Quite honestly, I'm kinda jealous of those of you who were spared the tart-up sweepstakes. Yall are just so cute in that pic!

But I know how this goes " I couldn’t reconcile what my eyes saw with what my mind said. I still can’t. The best I’ve managed in the 14 years since therapy is an acknowledgment that I don’t make people stare or retch when they see me." I havet that issue with size, of course. Sigh. Maybe once we hit 50, we'll finally and truly learn to stop giving a damn. Well, I think you’re attractive. But I know how this goes ” I couldn’t reconcile what my eyes saw with what my mind said.
