Thanks for sharing those precious memories.

Yeah JD, I definately have a little of each in me, although I've always seemed to have more of my Mom's side of the family in me.

Hey, by the way man, I haven't seen you in nearly a month! Be sure to have a Merry Christmas! Next year we'll get this thing back up and running strong again!

well, its more apparent in person, but yea, a 50-50 mix!

And holy crap your sister in real life looks exactly like your mom, who looked exactly like HER mom in that wedding pic from the family website!   

Those pictures are great Riggs, I feel like I really know you and your family now. And finally get to see the real JR. Its always fun to see old pictures of your folks in their leisure suits and bee hive hair doos too!

 

    I am reminded of an old saying ;  Women love a man in uniform .

    It is easy to see why .

Alright, LAST of the photo's, I SWEAR!

First, My Mom & Dad walking me through the kitchen as a baby. I'm sure the hair-do on my Mom is a wig, but still, hard to beleive that was once a popular style, and I still say she looks like a fem-bot



Another shot of my mom, this one more of a front view...



I do have a better picture of her, that REALLY looks like something from Austin Powers, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Finally, I threw in another photo of me, because I guess like Sparky said it can help you guys feel like you know me better. This one is about ten years old, and about the last time I allowed myself to be photographed other than against my will!

Now I'm way too out of shape and just don't like to have my picture taken, but that will be changing, because I made a promise to my father to take care of Erica and my Mom, and to do that I have to get healthier. . I'm also not crazy about public posting, but I guess in my current state of sadness I'm softening on that a bit...

Ah shoot!

With that jacket on, we can't see your flippers!

and who was in the gorilla outfit? lol craiger?? 

Holy Cow Ruby!

You just reminded me!

YES! AQUA NET! CANS AND CANS OF AQUA NET!

I remember as a kid the bathroom would have a haze in it when my Mom was done "doing" her hair. Every single day, at least 90 minutes just preparing her hair. Crazy!

Web, I was just beginning my transition to Penguin back in the mid 90's, the flippers were there but they were really small and my arms hadn't fallen off yet, so you probably wouldn't have seen them anyway.

Yes Ruby, in the early and mid-90's I was a huge White Sox fan

Robin Ventura, a rookie named Frank Thomas, I even had one of those balfour team rings for the Sox.

Eventually I came out of the coma and stopped wearing anything that comes from the south side of ANYWHERE.

JD, that was a singing telegram that Terri had sent to me at work for my birthday that year. I beleive it was 1994 or 1995. It could even be 1996. I remember it was near the end of my time at IPS because that jacket was a gift from one of my employees up in marketing services when I was a supervisor.

she's kinda cute with that bow.....nice size.....hmmmmmm

WOW!

Absolutely it's ok to add to the thread Web!

Now THAT'S a doo! I can just envision those huge curlers in your Mom's hair, probably overnight so that she could get that look in the morning!

Can you imagine if a woman tried to wear her hair like that today?

awesome! that hair was sooo it back then!

Your mom's hair reminds me of my 3rd favorite lunch lady in grade school web! LOL  

OK I FORGIVE YOU ON THE SOX COAT. I LIKED THE '86 BEARS (UNTIL THEY DID THAT GOD AWFUL SONG!!!); Walter Payton will probably always be my most favorite NFL film to ever watch. BUT I AM SHOCKED YOU DIDNT GET YER A$$ KICKED IN THIS TOWN WEARING THAT COAT!!
