You have such a good sense of humor. I laughed at "Golliwog". I'll bet you're still beautiful. And I love your Wheaton Terrier. What an adorable face! Do like Diva. She wraps a pretty scarf around her hair, twists it around, and tucks it in...lovely.

Sadly scarves and I don't get along. My mother kept trying to get me to wear them around my neck, before cancer. She had tons of beautiful scarves and tons of ways to tie them. I felt so uncomfortable, like it was too much gilding the lily. At least if anyone is missing a scarf, they never accuse me of borrowing it.

Aidan is an adorable dog, thank you very much for the compliment!
 

Since someone said the avatars too small, and that 2016 shot is the most recent i have available right now (because i usually take the photos of everyone else) i'll post it here. Picture the rest of my face being as wrinkly as as my neck 'wattle', Hair not much greyer. For contrast i'll include a 1968 shot of me taken in Central Park, NYC, by first DH. Don't have glasses on in more recent one because after 2014 partial corneal implant surgery, (also removed cataracts and adjusted my general vision to about 20/40 i think) i only need glasses for driving and TV, rest of day and reading i can go without. )

I post kinfolk/family pics a lot, so y’all surely have seen me numerous times. But I’ll post a couple of just me or Ron and me.

Earlier today. My daughter and I
volunteer at our local animal shelter and we bring the kids along as part of their home school enrichment. She snapped this one of me because she said it looked like I was wearing a tutu 😂

No way I'm going to post a photo. I look like an old white woman with shorter hair than a Golliwog. If I ever look like myself again, I will. So far, my hair is about 1" - 1.5" after it fell out during chemo. I no longer wear a chemo cap to cover the baldness since I am not bald.

Being bald has it's benefits. It is so much easier to take care of hair that isn't there -- but my head looked like a thumb with a face. I avoided mirrors and didn't see that my hair was growing back until the front quadrant of my head had about 3/4" of hair. I was so surprised, I started haunting the mirror to so I could watch each hair erupt. I just wish all the haired areas were the same length. It is still too short to get it cut. I think it looks like a lopsided crew cut right now. But I don't care cuz I got hair!

I will post a photo of my beautiful to me dog, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, aged 10.66. Even though the groomer didn't do a stellar job on his head last week. It's too long. But I suspect he was doing somersaults on the bed before my daughter took the photo. He does that when he is joyously celebrating something I am not supposed to do -- feeding him a bit of people food. Then I get into trouble with my daughter because he still has 5 lbs. to lose. (I think 9, but I don't tell my daughter that. I want to live!)

I agree with @Lara's comments about your sense of humor. After what you've gone through, I detect a woman of strength and courage. My hair is not much longer than yours because I started getting bald spots in the crown, some heredity and part from over treating my hair with chemicals. I love my short hair. BTW I couldn't wait for my hair to turn white. That is one cute doggie. I hope you will be in good health for the remainder of your life :)

Feywon, I've told you this before. You remind me so much of my Aunt Rusty. Same complexion, same hair, same noble air about you. She's also up on all the political and social issues much like yourself.
 
Oh thank you Diva but that quote you posted was in response to feywon saying that members have said that avatars are too small so she posted hers larger. But you're right, they aren't much bigger.

My Avatar pic is definitely old...circa 1978 when I married my second husband...the good one lol. But I did post a more Recent Pic in post #128

Well you all know what I look like <<<<<<<< ...except that photo was taken about 5 years ago ago.. just add a few extra pounds (thanks to an 18 month lockdown) but everyone except our recent newbies in the last month or 2 have seen various other more recent pics of me as well ..,

This afternoon I got some hair lopped off at the salon .....so it now looks like this.. deceptively thick.

My hair is baby fine, so it needs the hairdressers' skill with a highlights and blow dryer and brush to make it look good...

OMG, you sound like a comedian; you made me LAUGH. My sister said the same thing about her driver's license. I had taken her to get her license renewed while visiting a few years ago and she made all the people laugh with her comments. She asked for crayons to color the photo. I'll never forget how much we all laughed.

Thanks for the smile.

This photo was taken of me a little over three years ago when I had just turned 75. I was posing with the Mighty Stead Moondancer after I had completed an overhaul and was getting it ready to ship to my daughter. A couple of months later I learned that I had prostrate cancer and that lead to a far more complex adventure than riding Moondancer.
