Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
Great picture, Lisa! I love the color!

I remember trolls in the 90's...my boys had a couple...but I also remember my older brother having them in the 60's. He had one dressed up like Batman.

I wanted to share this photo of Me and our translator named Fang(pronounced, fong). It was taken in the Wu`xi mountains and we were going to an outdoor performance of the birth of Budha. I really like this picture and managed to lose the file for it. I have it as one of my desktop themes. The only thing I have been able to do is take a screen shot of it. But if anyone knows how I can convert it back to a jpeg file and put it back in my photo album, without my icons I would be ever so greatful.

Betsy, the file has to be on your PC somewhere. Go to >Start>Settings>Control Panel> Display and click the 'desktop' tab. The name of the file used will be highlighted. Take a note of it. If you click on 'browse' you will be able to see which folder the file is in.

Lisa, you recommended Bill Bryson's book to me and I loved it.

Joey Jet and I had a love affair--he just didn't know it. My best friend and I went to see two pre-season games. In one, he played a total of 8 plays and the other one, he had a broken leg. I babbled on about all of this when I met him. He thought I was pretty hilarious.

I used to have a life size picture of him on my wall. I won a contest to meet him and it entitled me to one autograph. After hearing me gush, he signed everything I brought with me and didn't make me pay for them.

I did not, but I was very surprised to find that just as here in America, I was shorter than almost all of the Chinese people that I travelled with. I was also shorter than most of the Japanese people I met when I was there. They were all fascinated with the fact that an American could be so short. Especially since Doug and M`ell were so tall.

How tall are you Betsy? I'm only just a little over 5 ft!! :o :P So much for tall Americans...although I think most Americans are larger....

I did not, but I was very surprised to find that just as here in America, I was shorter than almost all of the Chinese people that I travelled with.   I was also shorter than most of the Japanese people I met when I was there.  They were all fascinated with the fact that an American could be so short.  Especially since Doug and M`ell were so tall.

How tall are you Betsy? I'm only just a little over 5 ft!! :o :P So much for tall Americans...although I think most Americans are larger....

You are very pretty Val ^_^

:blush: :blush: Thank you!!

I think YOU are pretty! :D

And Dots...you have beautiful eyes!! SHORTY!! :P :P :D ;)

This was taken at the zigzag bridge in the oldest part of Shang Hai. We had so much fun that day. Hundreds of shops to explore and of course the obligatory Starbucks, where we finally convinced our translator that coffee wouldn`t kill her. She drank a cup and loved it. At least I think she did, as she knew that in order to have pizza (something she had never had, but always wanted) she had to try the coffee. I do believe she liked it, as when we got to Xi`an and she saw a coffee house on the same block as our hotel, she asked me to take her for a cup. :D

Davy Jones might disagree with you on that !! :P ;) But seriously...I used to worry endlessly that Bolan would only grow to my height.... I had nightmares when I was pregnant that he was born to look like a duck...big body and no legs...just feet!!! :o :o :o I had that nightmare more then once so I was convinced !! :hyper: :hyper:

It's ALL good now... :P :D

I hate towering over people...I have always wanted to be shorter. I hated being tall in high school...cuz most of the boys weren't tall at all...but in my advanced age...I appreciate my height...and I have learned to like it!
Yeah, I have also had a hard time finding length for jeans and pants...and sleeves!
I always tended to hang around with other tall girls...even though two of my closest friends were about 5'1 :lol:

It won't even be that long; kids grow SO fast. :wub:

That;s the problem with my love of tall men; our potential kids could be super tall so outgrow me at about age 7. :blush: :giggle:

Daniella, my cousins are ALL over 6 foot tall, and they play rugby so are very muscular. I love being related to them as I get to hang with rugby players but I feel SO tiny compares with them. My grandmother was about 4'11" after shrinking due to old age. :wub:

Interestingly enough, that also explains your love of tall men.

Whether we're aware of it or not, physical attraction is always driven by biological imperative - that is, how you'd like your babies to turn out. It's nothing conscious, we're just hard-wired that way. So short people are naturally attracted to tall people and vice-versa because the two sets of genes would be balanced out in the children.

Of course, that idea falls down when we realise that it's very unlike that the kids would actually be in the middle - more likely that they would either be tall or short. But it does explain the attraction.
Put a puppet on it.

I'm somewhere around 5'9 1/2" and taller than my brother by about 1/2 and inch. I was made fun of in school even though there were a couple of girls taller than me. I was always called the jolly green giant and was asked how's the weather up there and what's new besides ho ho ho. I was fully developed, and I do mean fully, by age 9!

I do tower over my boyfriend who is at 5'4."

Betsy I remember a little bit back in the day on pm.com about your trip to China and how much you loved it! With your pictures I can certainly see why! Great pictures and they give you the feel of what it kind of is like there.
