My son is going to look like Will when he grows up. Just you watch.
But I don’t see him posting all that much.
Carder, I’d love to get a picture of you up there! : )
I told MK that I needed to get a haircut and a crash course on how to post pictures. Sooo behind the times.
Just picutre a short Puerto-Rican chick.
Doug,
Were you trying to run for governor of California with that photo?
If you send me the picture by email, I can post it for you, Carder! :)
But no pressure if you don’t want to, of course ;)
That’s what I mean, B, I don’t even know how to get it on the computer! You’ll get it eventually, promise.
Carder – heck, I thought you were a guy. Just never knew.
It was at Niagara Falls – they give you those blue rain jackets for “The Maid of the Mist” boat – the girl I was with snapped the picture after I was looking off to the side.
I do a pretty fair “Ahnold” impression.
Doug
Jill, you left out Jasper and his adorable offspring.
That’s what I mean, B, I don’t even know how to get it on the computer! You’ll get it eventually, promise.
Oh! Okay, gotcha. ;)
Hehehe…I’m next to Will. :blushes:
I wonder if Jill thought my picture was too devilish for the article. ;P
I don’t really have any good ones, and most of them are pictures of me in prom dresses that might be a little too…revealing? I’m a horrible picture-taker otherwise. :P
Lyssie,
I thought yours was rather diva.
lyssie, I am exactly the same way!
Ah, now, don’t think too hard about whose pictures I put up and didn’t. I didn’t want to get psychologically involved and overanalyze who and why I was picking, so I chose randomly except for Bethany and the 2 guys… :)
Doug, you look a little like a younger thinner Chris Black!
Hahaha, I’m not bothered, Jill. I was wondering, do you know of the link that I believe Laura (FF) sent that talked about the adult stem cell breakthrough actually using embryonic DNA? I wanted to research this further for a course I’m taking at college on human development. It would be really helpful if you knew where to find this? Would any of the lovely moderators know? :D
Thanks.
I am next to Elizabeth who is next to Will. :)
*whines* Jiiiill, how come Elizabeth gets to sit next to the cute boy?
As cute as Will truly is, I have no eyes for anyone but my adorable boyfriend. :D
Something about my boy’s wavy brown hair and gorgeous brown eyes. :P Simply sinful.
That Will dude, is he the one that has the zeke screen name? Or his is name Will here?
Just trying to clarify.
no, will is a different person than Zeke….Here is Zeke:
Ladies, ladies,
Let’s not fight over who sits next to the cute boy. We can resolve this issue simply enough by allowing ME to sit next to the cute boy.
That way, no more arguments.
Haha, there are no arguments..since I’m already sitting next to him. NO TRADES!!!
“no, will is a different person than Zeke….Here is Zeke”
Waah? I thought Zeke was a girl…I clicked on the links to the website and up popped a picture of a girl. Unless you’re joking..?
Lucky!!
Elizabeth,
I didn’t realize how much your daughter resembles you until I saw this picture. She is precious, and those eyes. There’s my “eye fixation” again.
I’d be curious to see what a Fetus Fascist looks like.
How about it, Laura? Can you post a before and after picture?
I remember Jill musing how interesting it would be if we could all meet together.
All of us in the same room.
Interesting indeed! Whose voice would raise first? Whose fist would fly?
And would you really trash Doug, Bethany?
I love this forum!! I love that there is a Sally and an FF and a Hal and a Doug. What would we do without them? Sit around all day and agree with each other??
Sorry. a FF.
@Carder: I think it would be a rockin’ partay.
I’ll bring the techno-dance music and egg rolls. :D
If we were to all meet in person….wow….
I actually have the funniest picture in my head of Bethany body-slamming Doug….
And the absolute most hilarious thing is the vision of MK beating Zeke over the head with an umbrella….
PIP and Rae are chasing me with really long eppendorf tubes used as swords…..(love to my bio sisters…) :)
Bethany’s kids are playing with Elizabeth’s little girl as Bethany herself continues to mercilessly beat up on Doug.
Erin occupies herself with the little steak appetizers on the side of the room, hoping they aren’t made from cloned meat with tentacles and cancer. *giggle*
Jill and Hal are having an arm wrestling match….closely matched, they are.
Jasper yells at me, Elizabeth, Midnite, Rae, and PIP for wearing too much makeup. HisMan backs him up. (I only say this because you two guys are like the “daddies” of the site…things that my daddy would yell at me for….lol).
MK, after finishing her umbrella beating on Zeke, starts fishing for mullets in the punch bowl (next to the lemming chips).
Rae and I finally get Elizabeth to stop staring at Will by showing her pictures of fine young bachelors.
Oh…the endless possibilities….
:)
RAE!!!!
*HURGGGG*
Lyyyyssssssieeee…
I don’t wear make-up. :D
*tacklehugzzz*
OH! I’m getting internets next week! I can finally affordz it!
I know you don’t….I remembered after I posted….le sigh. But they’d yell at you anyway, for your immoral nunga-nungas. :P
Lyssie,
I just laughed my butt off. I love you…and yes..I would be drooling over Will. Bring the towel will you?
“Just picture a short Puerto-Rican chick.”
I pictured you as a tall, muscly cowboy-type dude. Sorry.
Why aren’t I at the party!? I’m kinda a buzz kill though, I spent like two hours at my boyfriends house throwing up cause of some funky cheese. I know he really loves me though, cause he still kissed me : )
LOL Lyssie! I’m in!!
Bethany-
ahh okay. I am now officially able to join in on the Will love. *bats eyelashes*
Waah? I thought Zeke was a girl…I clicked on the links to the website and up popped a picture of a girl. Unless you’re joking..?
I thought Zeke was a girl too until I was proven wrong by Doug. If you’ll check out that same old myspace page, you’ll see that it says “male- 21 years old-”
Also, try typing in “quinnolinger” in google, and you’ll find his web pages.
What color towel, Elizabeth? I’ve got turquoise blue and white with blue stripes. :D
Remember, he’s a TAKEN MAN. Although you’re more than entitled to lament about that fact. :P
I wish I knew more eligible bachelors…
*slaps PIP’s wrist*
NO TOUCH! WILL IS TAKEN.
*takes both Elizabeth and PIP by the elbows and leads them to a male revue across the street*
Enjoy, ladies. :P
“Jill, you left out Jasper and his adorable offspring.”
thanks Carder.
And of course we can’t leave out SoMG. We need someone to quote Dr. Seuss. MK can’t have the stage all to herself, you know.
But Bethany trashin’ Doug, yeah, that was a classic.
I’ll wear my cowboy outfit.
Lyssie,I must have missed that before. haha I can soooo see that happening. :D
This cute boy fetish…if you gals are patient, you can have first dibs on my son in about two decades! He’s gonna look like Will!
Now when you say, “taken man” do you mean MARRIED or is it gf status? LOL I’m just kidding of course.
Well, sort of. lol.
Ahhhh, I really AM kidding, I swear. Like I have time for boyfriends..nursing school, 2-year olds…the list goes on and on.
*sigh*
Elizabeth, he’s married. It’s alright…I promise we’ll find you another uber-sexy pro-lifer *consoles Elizabeth* I have an attractive conservative pro-Life Catholic male friend…but he’s shy around the ladies.
In twenty years, Carder, I’ll need TWO of your sons to make up the age deficit (20 plus 20 makes 40, right?). Who can possibly wait that long for good-looking man specimens? :P
I have an attractive conservative pro-Life Catholic male friend…but he’s shy around the ladies.
Awww…well I’m pretty loud and outgoing…we could compliment each other heheee..
Or he might end up thinking I’m crazy..which he might be correct in thinking lol.
Now, Elizabeth, the kid is one of my best friends. If he can handle my loud-mouthed antics, then you’d be just one more loud, energetic, attractive woman in his life (poor kid, he hangs out with so many of us, we simply love him…he definitely has the “brother” syndrome). He’s just not experienced with women in the romantic sense (he’s always around us to hang out). He’s a bit less outgoing than we’d like (he’d been sheltered his whole life because he’s an only child and his mother went through hell to conceive him), but he’s really a sweet kid who would like to do more in the way of going out and having fun.
Haha well I don’t know if I’m your girl Lyssie…I went and saw a movie at the theatre last night for the first time in 2 1/2 years! It was a great one though..I saw Cloverfield and I almost peed my pants. It rocked. But yea…I don’t really go out much, which is alright with me..but perspective bf’s I’m sure don’t look at it as a great thing!
Elizabeth,
Your daughter is just beautiful!
Whats funny about this is that I totally pictured everyone looking completely different.
JM,
So did I. Except for those who have websites or have had their pictures on here before.
Erin does look as I pictured her though.
I agree about Elizabeth’s daughter. I told her on another thread her daughter would give Halle Barry a run for her money in 20 years.
Jasper,
Your sons are beautiful children. And hey, you’re pretty good looking yourself!
Lol, people keep saying that I look like they pictured me. I never realized that I type like a small black Irish girl!
Rosie,
Your little girl is beautiful.
JM and Mary,
Thank you for the nice comments about my daughter..I will have to tell her lol.
She is unfortunately sick today :(. Her first REAL cold in 2 years..I know it was bound to happen eventually but it is hard seeing her sick.
Guess she has to build up those immunities somehow.
@Elizabeth: Good! I’m glad you have such a healthy (pun kinda sorta intended…) outlook to your kid getting sick and not being one of those parents that go absolutely berserk trying to keep their kid from getting sick! However, I do hope she gets well quickly, being sick sucks, even if it is helpful in the long run.
Build up those immunities!
*builds T-cells*
Adaptive immunity ftw!
Rae,
I would probably be a little bit more paranoid if she were more prone to getting sick like some kids. But she has a pretty strong immune system. Which I am VERY happy to say definitely came from me.
And would you really trash Doug, Bethany?
Better get a dumpster. I’m too tall for a normal trash can.
Doug, you look a little like a younger thinner Chris Black!
Ha! PIP – I took care of that “thinner” part since the picture was taken. (I am 48 years old, after all.) Add 15 years to my picture, put a salt and pepper beard on along with 40 lbs. Chris Black is dark and handsome, and I’m really just blond and then gray in the temples.
George Clooney in ‘Syriana’ – he had packed on a few pounds and had a beard very similar to mine, although mine’s a little more gray. I’m not handsome like George Clooney and he’s got more hair than me.
My pants do the same darn thing.
Doug
Hehehe…I’m next to Will. :blushes:
Elizabeth, that is an adorable picture of you and your daughter – just a great picture, period.
Something has changed, and today you’re on top of me and I’m on top of Rae. And I’m next to Erin.
I’m not going to go around high-fiving myself or patting myself on the back or having “impure thoughts” or anything today….
Doug
:: Bethany herself continues to mercilessly beat up on Doug. ::
Doug: I’ll give you an hour to quit that….
Doug,
Keep dreaming Doug keep dreaming……:)
Your pants do the same darn thing? Yeah, and people confuse me with Demi Moore.
You old dog!!!
I computer-aged Will Duffy’s picture 15 years:
Actually, this is the guy one of my cousins is married to. Told ya he looks like Will.
Doug
Your pants do the same darn thing? Yeah, and people confuse me with Demi Moore.
:: laughing and laughing ::
Mary, I just meant the wrinkles.
Speaking of adorable….
I cannot imagine anybody looking at Bethany’s picture and not smiling themself.
Why aren’t I at the party!?
Jess, you most certainly are, if I have anything to say about it.
I get to sit on your lap, right?
Doug
Doug,
mmmmmuhh. :)
Doug,
Are you in the throes of a testosterone storm?
Mary, no, not at all. Just the usual male-hardwired-visually stuff. If it had been so, then I’d be wanting Jess to sit on my lap.
Doug,
Put simply, you ain’t dead yet.
WHOA WHOA WHOA. There’s some seriously risque talk going on over here…I might need to throw some buckets of water on Doug and Mary. Hot. *wink*
Have I ever told you how much you guys make me smile? :P
“Your sons are beautiful children. And hey, you’re pretty good looking yourself!”
thanks Mary, like Doug, I use to be 40 pounds lighter too. LOL.
Lyssie,
You are such a dear. I’m glad we bring you a smile. Hot? I think the only heat I can generate anymore comes from hot flashes, but thank you just the same.
Doug obviously has excellent taste when it comes to the ladies and I think its the lovely young ladies like you on this blog who will generate more heat than me. :) :)
Jasper,
You’re entirely welcome. You used to be 40lbs lighter? Tell me about it. I can’t fit in my old maternity clothes. Now THAT’S depressing!
Now, come on, Mary, hot flashes are only there to remind women that they are steamy, sexy, beautiful specimens of femininity. I tell my mom that all the time. They are nightly reminders that since it’s impossible to sleep, you need to go out and party like the hot, beautiful women that you are. That means you need to party with us. Wanna go out to a club sometime? We’ll invite Jill and Bethany and Rae and PIP… Looks like MK, Jill, and the crew already know how to party in DC. And, like you said, “you ain’t dead yet.” :P
(Oh, and don’t tell Doug, he might just keel over from all the downright gorgeous ladies at the club. As in…us.) :P
Lyssie,
Well now, that’s a new definition of hot flashes! I’ve also heard them called power surges. The club would sound like great fun. Its a deal.
You’re right about Doug, a club outing with all of us is probably too much for an older man to handle. :)
Haha, Mary, I’ve heard them referred to as power surges too…. I had considered taking my mom to menopause, the musical. At least make some jokes about what is, to her, an uncomfortable situation.
You used to be 40lbs lighter? Tell me about it. I can’t fit in my old maternity clothes. Now THAT’S depressing!
Mary, fear not – I couldn’t even remotely fit into them.
Lyssie: (Oh, and don’t tell Doug, he might just keel over from all the downright gorgeous ladies at the club. As in…us.) :P

I guess I can’t argue too much with that. Just looking at the pictures has the old ticker already at maximum safe speed.
Doug 9:17am
Thank you. That is most reassuring.:) You’d probably have an easier time than me!
Doug 9:21am
