Doggone if you don't look exactly like a Mike. I've known a few - got two Mikes in our church, in fact - and they all look kind of alike.
When I lived in California, someone at church said I looked very similar to another Mike they know. Maybe we are talking about the same person lol

I wonder if, at my age, there's any hope of me getting my skin to look so smooth and soft!

It is! And you look so lovely. Love the outfit too.
Wait...

You complain repeatedly, even constantly, about "rich people." And you can go on a cruise?

Man, my wallet has NEVER been able to put up for a cruise.

Whoa! Does that mean I get to complain about you rich people now? :D:D:D:cool:
I was wondering the same.

So Lan all this time you were pretending to be poor? Or you just dont like being rich?

An old blurry photo of me, haha:)
This smile brightened my day.
Sorry I'm a little late to the party...

I tried to post this a while back, but couldn't get it to post correctly, then felt a little too shy and just deleted the whole thing.

But after watching all the other courageous souls here in this thread... I figured, why not have a go. I don't know how to use those filters that make you look 20 years younger and 30 pounds lighter that seem to be so popular nowdays, so this is the best I could do.

I don't like pictures of myself, at all, so when I can help it, I get rid of them. I have very few pictures of myself from past years because I'm trying to erase some of the bad memories right along with the pictures. I also don't want to look back and dwell on the way I USED to look, even if I still didn't like what I saw back then, because I don't want to pine for something I can never go back to.

But this year my Mom wanted a family Christmas portrait so I had no choice but to oblige. I made an attempt at doing my hair, dutifully dragging out my trusty but ancient Conair hot rollers, which I don't think I've used since probably 1995.

So in this picture, I'm pretty much a hot mess, as I had just yanked my hair out of the curlers and haven't even brushed it through.

And what did I see as soon as I pulled out the rollers but an all too obvious gray hair sticking straight out -- sideways, no less -- as if it were clearing mocking me over the fact that a whole lot of years had passed since I'd last really put some effort into my hair. You know, like way back when I was a spring chicken, but those days have LONG passed, of which this geriatric piece of hair seemed all too eager to point out.

Try as I might, no amount of styling product or hairspray would put it in place (I think those gray hairs are almost as stubborn as I am -- go figure,) and so I had to resort to pulling them back into the top half of my hair back just to hide it.

I couldn't help but be amused at my own hair's determination to both bamboozle and betray me all at once, thus making the rare exception of snapping an ever-popular selfie.

It was just one of those "This is so ridiculous!" moments that you just can't help but laugh -- and totally at yourself. :LOL:

You probably just confused the crap out of her.

There is an 83% chance she has me on ignore. Once in a blue moon she'll reply to something I say, but evidence suggests she occasionally takes ignore off to see what she's missing for some reason. So there's a better than three quarter chance that she has no idea what you're replying to and no context. :ROFL:

You don’t have to be rich to go on a cruise.
