Putting faces to posters
Everytime I read certain posts , I have a mental picture of what that person looks like .it might be fun to describe how we see each other.I don't post often so it a little harder to guess what I look like...anyone interested in trying to put a face on a poster.?
neccy All the time. Most controversial posters do not come to functions ie, breakfasts, dinners, bar meetups.
Christine It might be fun to do..neccy...but almost guaranteed the poster you try to describe in your "minds eye" will most likely not be at all the way we think they would be if you should meet in person. Personally, I have had my picture posted several times on the Forum as I really do not mind people knowing how I actually look. I can understand, however, why some posters would not really want us to know who they are or how they look and especially the ones that we might have had verbal confrontations with over various threads or topics on HL. I have met some wonderful people from this site in person and a lot have become good friends over the years. This is a cute thread and although I do not care to participate...it might be fun to hear how other posters depict us to be or what we look like...

Being rather new here, I for some time I could not figure if they are a Man or a Women till they say something in there writings. I don't know anyone on here except Christine having been in her store.

jd2 Jefferson Rep: You are so cute! If you are not married or spoken for......there is someone named neccy ( I think that is the screenname she uses).. on another thread looking for a "nice" guy. That is the impression I had of you right from the beginning anyway from your posts although we have never met in person. Smart too!!!!
hktownie Whoops....somebody really missed the mark...I am happy to say I am married for many years.....please no more proposals....one husband is enough.......
jerseycash5Sorry about that, neccy... Senility setting in!!!!. I think the other poster's name looking for someone was "Summer".
@JR - Jeff "Come And Take It" Quinn. One of my heros. I wish he were my neighbor, Excellent Youtube channel.
"what i actually look like"
that's great, just like i've been sayin' all along, over 5 million regular everyday americans, that's who we are,
not scary, not weird, just good, honest hard working, folks. with families, jobs, houses
that's who we are and that's what we are about.
great thread, i love it,
BrotherDog 
skippy Hysterical, JR! And you're a nice looking young man. :-)
I actually don't tend to imagine what people look like physically. It's more about the contents of people's posts... I get a feeling for who a person is... like their energy, positive or negative. Basically it's the same thing when I meet someone, after just a few minutes of talking to them, I no longer see their outside shell. If someone has good energy, I perceive them as lovely and beautiful, no matter what they look like, what they're wearing, how old they are, male or female. It doesn't matter. I *truly* just perceive their energy. Weird, I know... I think I'm like a dog... lol.
Rebecka "Weird, I know... I think I'm like a dog... lol."
You say that like it's a bad thing. :) Dog's have alot OVER humans, imo, in the way they live/deal/handle/accept life. Humans could learn alot from dogs, if they were intelligent enough to pay attention. :)
and undying love and affection - I want to be the person my dog thinks I am. Thanks Rebecca
True, JR. And dogs don't care what you're wearing, how much money you have, what your face looks like - that's totally unimportant. They care if you're a nice person or not... and whether you have chicken or not...
Like you?!?!?! We'd need to get you a booking agent, since you would be the only german shepherd who is able to read and type. You could make a fortune!!!
Does making a fortune mean getting lots of Tuna? If so we're up for it. If not, that booking agent can kiss my butt....

Mark Mc. 
"(married, 1 dog)" There's one comma you don't want to drop :>)
Don't ask me, I just googled me.
mistergoogle Skippy and Mark.....both handsome guys. Skippy at first I thought you were my husband but then I saw you have a lot of hair. Sshhhh don't tell hubby but he lost a lot lately! I pictured JR a little older because he is so smart.
I'm older than you think I am... Mark was surprised when I told him my age. (the picture above was recent tho- within the last year)
JR I also pictured you much older! and Mark you certainly do not look old enough for the "Early Bird" crowd? More like the under 30 group:)
JRT You guys look great...I guess because of your knowledge, wisdom and passions.. I thought you guys were a lot older too. This is a great learning experience to find that the younger generation has such strong convictions and set values. :)
positive "younger generations"??? LOL. "emily", from the gun control thread, is the YOUNGER generation. I'm the middle-aged generation LOL. And thank for for your... compliments? Sorry, I have a hard time with compliments for some reason.
And I think this has been a cool thread... altho I haven't seen many other self-portraits... hint hint....
JR, I'm 48 and for some reason I thought you were a lot older than me from your posts! Lol! That's what I meant by younger generation! Maybe I will get up the courage to put up a picture, I'm a little shy. Lol!
BTW- I think you should be more accepting of compliments. o;)
Isn't it amazing?..after seeing the photos, I think I will read their posts differently....
Denis "I'm older than you think I am... Mark was surprised when I told him my age."
Yeah, JR *should* look like that grizzly bearded guy he posted ;)
My pic is a few years old. I look pretty much the same, but I don't take many "selfies" so my picture supply is limited. I'm 36 but people do think I look younger.
Mark-
That's Jeff Quinn, gun reviewer extraordinaire. His website is www.GunBlast.com lots of great firearm porn over there!
Mark - I expected you to be older as well.
Here's what people think I look like. LOL
Calico...I know that is not you....you are better looking...and besides...that is not your brand of beer!! lol!
Darrin 
+1 Nice wheels Darrin! A buddy in high school had an SS.... I think we got it up to 109mph, but then we ran out of road....
its a 350......about 400 hp with a 4 speed muncie
This was the h-town st. pattys parade two years ago
I have had it to 140......no further comments!
That is one gorgeous car, Darrin.
I agree with JR - more selfies please! Don't be shy!
Probably because the original poster wasn't actually interested in people posting pictures of themselves? If you read what she posted, she suggested that we *describe* what we *think* others look like. Nowhere did she ask for others to post pictures of themselves.
iPhone-imal good point imal, but she also never described herself....isn't it easier to just post a pic?
Most people know me and know what I look like. But here is a pic of me and 2 of my grandsons. Its about a year old. I look terrible right now, need a haircut and the steroids did a number on me! LOL!
The original poster also didn't ask for more gun discussion, but she got that anyway, LOL.
Aquarius You're still missing the point. This wasn't an exercise in self-description. You are supposed to describe what you think she looks like, based on her posts.
She also didn't specifically ask for discussion on beer, cars, grandchildren, dogs, etc.
But because those may be the types of posts some of us are associated with, it will of course come up in the conversation of how one's impression of us may not match reality.
well I guess we screwed this all up then!
Although to our defense she posted again down later and seemed to enjoy the photos!
Guess we cut right to the chase and gave nobody time to guess what we looked like!
And this is what people think I look like~ the crazy rabbit lady.
Though I would LOVE to go the that island!!

Yes iphone..that is exactly what I meant...for instance after seeing skippys photo..I understood why he is so kind....rebecka looks just as I imagined..(very attractive and living a great life) ...I picture joyful as a mature slender white haired lady, who I would love to have as a neighbor...all in all you have a group of very down to earth good looking people...curious...from my post , what do you think I look like?
Actually this is the official Poodle Association ID photo for one Ignatious Jinglebells Snooty...
Neccy: You are making me laugh with your description of me as I am sure the "other" HLers who have met me in person will be doing as well. As far as slim...white haired... (never going to happen as long as I keep my weekly hairdresser appointments) lady...I am afraid not. I thank you for your kind words, however, and..from what I am interpreting in your posts, I think I would also like you to be my neighbor as well. I do picture you, also as much younger than me. To obtain a picture of myself and my husband The Duke....go to the Search box in the beginning of the Forum...type in "joyful"...then scroll down to the thread with the title.. HL Sunday Breakfast 3/16 Mt. Lake Firehouse and there is a recent picture Sue R. took of us.
Neccy - I can't imagine what you look like. You need to post more for us to get any idea, I think. :-) Thanks for the kind words, too.
Iggles says to tell the Poodle Association that 1) he likes his ID photo; 2) this is what he thinks they all look like.
Silly Iggy. I don't look like that.
But he really is the three headed monster from Mars. ;-)
Isn't there a pet photo post....why are there more pet photos on this then what the actual topic was?
Sorry, Darrin!!! Heading back over to the pet thread now. (I'm gonna have nightmares, Baci's Mommy.)
you know its bad when all 6 of the preview "Hackettstown photos" are from this thread, and from the last three hours of posting! Back to the pet forum with all of you!
I am wondering what ianimal looks like, I would like to go out for drinks with him actually, seems like a very knowledgeable guy.
iJay After a Phillies game at Vet Stadium in 1975, as I came through the players' gate, someone stopped me, he thought I was Greg "The Bull" Luzinski and wanted an autograph "for my son, he's a big fan of yours."
I tried to explain the real Luzinski had already split, but he would not believe me until I pulled out my press card and showed it to him.
Andy Loigu 
MeisterNJ Darrin, there are at least half a dozen photos of me on here already... including my wedding photo. I think mistergoogle has that one as his windows wallpaper. He seemed quite taken with my best man. Maybe he can upload it for you (-;
Ask and you shall receive, however, the best man did not attend. He was in his mother's basement drinking jolt cola and typing long tomes that would suffer delayed posting while moderators previewed them in a dark, warm place, for readership acceptability because he was so, so racy and Hackettstown is a quiet place.
Found this on a milk carton with the title: "have you seen my parents?"
mg, come on..... you can do better than that!!! It's small & blurry!!! Stop hiding!!! Come out into the Light!!!
I can't even compliment the beautiful bride BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HER!!!
;)
Yes, do elaborate ianimal. I'm not remembering the exchange. I could have missed it. Which wouldn't be surprising, since I kind of go cross eyed and numb after one paragraph of MG's chapter like posts. ;-)
Jeff, that's a picture of my wife and me, not mistergoogle. If I have time at lunch, I'll try to find the old threads.
Still looking... I think photos get deleted after a while, which I can certainly understand.
Found this though... the Tower of Prosciutto from our wedding cocktail hour. God, I miss that tower of meat, lol.
Here, let me Mr Google that for you:
The thread:
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/217928#t218030
The picture:
http://www.hackettstownlife.com/images/forum/2010/08/260dea79b25faea2b6fb94cbf84cfadd823d585a.jpg
Putting 9,327,284 and 276 together and getting 4 - does this mean we can now change Mr G's screen name to "Lurch"???? ;-)
I was told you could not transfer a picture already posted on a HL thread to a new HL thread and that is why I asked HLers to search"joyful" and find the HL Sunday breakfast at Mt. Lake Firehouse 3/16 to see a recent picture of my husband and I.
Oh my goodness. Iman asked for me to post it, I searched HL for "cheap suits," found the thread instantly, quickly cropped it, changed the name and reposted. Nothing that creepy nor difficult here except Iman getting me in trouble......
If I thought you were trying to be funny, that would be funny but.....
yawn. give it a rest Darrin.
Couldn't find the picture I was looking for, but here is one of sheanimal and me with her Nonna from last summer...
lmao, mg......somebody's holding a grudge!
here is some tissues, it's the least i could do
Darrin, he doesn't really keep pictures of me, lol. Just a semi-private running joke... if you read through all of the old threads on the topic, you'd understand.
Just like if you knew how I like to bust mirsterg's chops and the long history of our back and forth, you'd understand.
This isn't exactly the greatest picture I've ever taken, but it does show what a lucky guy I am (-;
Rich sorry... bbyou... you're right, of course.
But one picture cannot capture the essence of a person, so you got the montage... 1. family guy ianimal showing love for his nonna in law, 2. fun guy ianimal having his picture taken on the ridiculously large Adirondack chair and 3. incredibly grateful ianimal, who loves his wife more and more each day.
There I am... take me or leave me, lol
Probably because the original poster wasn't actually interested in people posting pictures of themselves? If you read what she posted, she suggested that we *describe* what we *think* others look like. Nowhere did she ask for others to post pictures of themselves.
iPhone-imal
LOL
Wow, a lot of panties in a knot. I didnt mean anything by it. I said confidence is a good thing. You ARE a lucky man ianimal, definitely. See, Im right, again. ; ]
That ship sailed long ago, Eddie II. The thread took a right turn, like most of them eventually do... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em (-;
If anyone cares what I look like, my mug is in the most recent Warren Reporter inserted in my Sports Chatter column. If you're not into newsprint pages, you can find it by googling me and clicking on images ... if you care to read any of the old articles, you're welcome to.
You can find some local sports history by digging through all those stories.... and I'll be scoring points with my employer because they count the google hits =)
Stan 
Me and my better half at a wedding this past fall. You can confirm the date since it's on the wall in the amazingly tacky neon pink lighting
Oh no now my secret identity has been exposed. :)
I didn't mean anything bad, bothered. I incorrectly thought you were referring to his previous comment. Sorry about that.
Darwin...you are very handsome and your wife is really pretty...
Stan: You look the same as I remember you when we met many years ago.
As someone said some time ago...HLers are just normal, every day, people. We all have different ideas and opinions about everyday situations. It is nice, however, to be able to put a face with some of our posters now...at least it is for me.
Oh no, he gave it a rest. And when he woke up........It was the walking deadarrin.
Nice car though.
Bessie I am not quite sure I know who you are talking to mg, and I am also not quite sure I appreciate my picture being photo shopped
Hey mistergogle, very childish of you. Why don't you put your picture up. Never mind I know the answer to that.
Ignatz ignatz - exactly correct, it's that pesky 'character' thing, rearing it's ugly head once again
Well Darrin did call him a cry baby and put a picture of tissues up.
Its a shame that a nice thread turns ugly.
Oh Darrin, I am so sorry for the offense. I just thought after the childish crybaby tissue picture that you were into that sort of thing. Plus you seemed amazed that someone could copy/edit/rename and paste a previous HL picture, I just figured a picture was worth a thousand (or two in my case) words.
I apologize for the offense. (But if you are really feeling unappreciated, you have a huge box of virtual tissues to wipe those virtual tears away :>)
Nice, Darwin... seems you "married up" as well (-;
That lighting *is* kind of bizarre. How many days did it take before your eyes adjusted and the whole world wasn't pink anymore?
thanks imal... the annoying thing is it was a sunday afternoon wedding so when we left it was still daylight, i didn't need sunglasses cause all i saw was pink the whole way home
and yes i out kicked my coverage :)
Getting back to the original theme of this thread, your photo seems a lot more straight-laced than I always imagined you, but weddings have a way of making people look that way.
Here is how I had pictured you based on your months and years of posts, lol.
Let me just say that almost all of the HLers I have met, look nothing like I imagined them to.
Mg there is a difference between what I posted and you defacing my picture, a big difference And it does not sit well with me when someone takes it to a personal level.
Christine, this is a lie
Well Darrin did call him a cry baby and put a picture of tissues up.
I never called him anything, I just said someone was holding a grudge. Never even mentioned a name.
Personal offence is something that I do not accept
Its not a lie Darrin look at the box of tissues and what it says.
What good for the goose is good for the gander. Besides MrG apologized. Lets move on and keep this thread happy OK?
Darrin please keep your little feud with MG over on one of the many gun threads, people are just trying to have some fun on this on. thanks
Christine, again, you are twisting things so that you can make a point, yes the picture said cry baby tissues, but I never even mentioned ANYWHERE that it was for MG.
And Darwin, for once worry about yourself and I will worry about me. The photo posted was disrespectful on a personal level, it did not happen to you, so you can not speak for it, nor can you vouch for how I should feel about it. I apologize for dragging this on, but things like that do not set well with me, especially when the offender can't say sorry like a adult, they have to add insult with "into that sort of thing" or "I apologize for the offense. (But if you are really feeling unappreciated, you have a huge box of virtual tissues to wipe those virtual tears away :>)" that is not a sorry any respectful adult I know would post.
True colors have been shown and I am moving on, knowing why nobody ever posts pictures of themselves, as all it takes is one person with a personal vendetta to make a fun thread go south.
Darrin, just pointing out that you did mention a name. If "Personal offence" is something that you do not accept", why give it to someone else?
Darrin on April 3rd:
"I never called him anything, I just said someone was holding a grudge. Never even mentioned a name."
Darrin on April 2nd:
"lmao, mg......somebody's holding a grudge! here is some tissues, it's the least i could do" (and posted the "cry baby" picture)
LMAO, good call! I didn't realize I said mg, sorry for that FOOT IN MOUTH!
"why give it to someone else?"
all I can say is the comeback was not on the same level.
to post a picture for someone that says cry baby tissues cannot be compared to de-facing somebody's actual picture. At least not in my book.
Moving on!
Wait, a sec...
So you knew you were referring to MG. Everyone else knew you were referring to MG. But, you thought you could deny it because you forgot that you actually wrote his name?
gadfly yes and no, I never denied that it was for mg, just denied naming him on the post, but I am pretty sure that's what I just admitted to and apologized before, what more are you looking for?
this should be good
He put a zombie head on your body. It's not like he put your face on something offensive. Personally, I think you're overreacting a wee bit, but your feelings are your own and it's not for me to invalidate them.
OK children, The post is "Putting faces on posters"
A lot of threads have taken a turn for the worse in record time lately.
A long cold winter maybe?
Wifey cut you off?
Hubby watching to much sports?
" Enjoy life now it has an expiration date. "
Oh my, that just made me laugh out loud, mg, and frankly, that doesn't happen too often with your comments ;o)
A long cold winter maybe? I love winter
Wifey cut you off? never, I cut her off!!!
Hubby watching to much sports? I hate sports
" Enjoy life now it has an expiration date ain't that the truth!
I LOVE SURVEYS!
and Ian....just so you have a answer.....actually I absolutely hate zombies, they are hideous creatures that are a mockery of dead people, I personally do not agree with how much fame they have been granted, and it is a disgrace to have that posted on what I know to be my body.
personal thing I guess.
OMG people just let him have the last word! He loves this crap! He is always right and loves to argue.
Darrin I also thought you were going overboard a bit, but to each his own! I guess we all have that one thing that strikes a nerve:)
I will say that when you were called out on some of your own postings, you handled it very well!! I can't stand when people will continue to argue even when it has been pointed out that they messed up! I have yet to meet anyone that is perfect!
Darrin - I agree about zombies. That's why we have extra zombie ammo in stock here. :-)
Nosila Christine aint that the pot calling the kettle black!
I Wasn't dragging it out just answering a question.
for someone concerned about a happy thread you love to throw fuel in the fire!
Thanks JRT and calico!
The fact that Darrin might be zombaphobic aside, one man's honey is another man's poison which is why I apologized immediately. It's not up to me why someone is offended, it's in their domain. Now the fact that I added my rationale for it combined with a little funny --- sorry about that too.
Reminds me of that night high in the West Virginia mountains drinking moonshine with the boys, perhaps some illegal partaking was going on as well, as Loudon Wainwright III hit the outdoor stage and sang these words:
"Call me Mr Guilty, Mr Guilty that's my name
Without a doubt it's all my fault, I'm the one to blame
You say that you're unhappy I do believe it's true
Cause I'm the one, the no good bum
That did it all to you.
I'm so sorry, sorry as a man can be
I'm so guilty, this is my apology
You have been a victim, a pawn in my cruel game
I done you wrong, and I strung you along
And now I'm full of shame
To compensate for damage done
Well there's not much I can do
So I sit and drink and I sit and think
Of all I done to you
You're a martyr, taking all this time
I'm a villan, guilty of a dreadful crime, so cry, cry, cry me a river
All your tears and logic, you know they
Finally made me see
I deserve the shame, I deserve the blame
The guilt belongs to me.
Yes you're innocent
You're as pure as driven snow
You've been had, I'm a cad, at least at last I know"
Lol, that mg post actually made me laugh, mainly because I am trying to figure out christine's post, but it makes no sense, almost like she is living in her own little world. Again, nothing has even ben mentioned for over 12 hours, what the hell are you talking about, were you hoping I would drag it longer? Did you pre-determine your posts. ...what is your deal......drama drama drama as always
Back to the topic at hand, why hasent mg posted a photo? This seems like a long time issue, I am somewhat new to the forum, but everyone else has seemed to have a past with asking him.
Maybe he is worried I will photo shop him into a Republican comittee meeting? Or perhaps shaking governor christie's hand wearing a "christie 2016" shirt?
You are very pretty, Nosila and you have a "great family" as well....Thanks for sharing...
SueR Its too funny that people are posting pics of themselves and thats not what the OP was asking for. And then arguing over SS! SMH!
Thank you, SueR for posting the picture of The Duke and I....Now everyone can see I am not a little old white haired lady after all. I am "old" however!!!
Nosila is WAY prettier than that, joyful. ;-) And yes, Nosila, people probably think of us as constantly surrounded by animals... which is kind of true, of course!
As for misterg and others not posting photos of themselves - not everyone wants to do this and that's perfectly understandable. After all, this is a very public forum, and most people like to maintain a modicum of anonymity.
"Lol, that mg post actually made me laugh, mainly because I am trying to figure out christine's post, but it makes no sense, almost like she is living in her own little world.

Did you pre-determine your posts. ...what is your deal......drama drama drama as always" states Darrin
WHAT?
There is so much wrong with your posts its not even worth mentioning or trying to explain it to you. I am moving on and I suggest you do to. But knowing you well I think everyone has your number now.
Christine, what are you talking about.....and why are you STILL dragging it on, for the drama I presume. I moved on a long time ago.
" But knowing you well"
you don't know me......not one bit
Great thread! I am on here every day, yet post only so often. Love the dialogs.
Nobody looks the way I pictured....most of the guys are younger and better looking than I imagined actually! lol
I want to see what our beloved weatherman Brian looks like!
Here I am with hubbie in NYC at Terra Blues
mom of one To the person who just PM'd me via this thread: I replied via email but got a message saying my email was not deliverable. You have to re-PM me with a valid email address. (I'll be happy to help you.)
instead of a venting thread can there be a "fued thread" where Darrin and Christine can go? instead of them highjacking every thread :)
oh and MG doesn't need to post his pic, all you have to do is google "images of mistergoogle" and you can find them: :)
according to the internet that's mister google, and you know what they say about the interent they can't but anything on there unless it's true :)
Oh... jealous darwin?
Maybe we need to sing "Darrin and Christine sitting in a tree"............................... JK!
Very nice picture of you and your husband, Mom of One.
Just a interesting observation from my husband and I in that we have lived in Hackettstown almost our entire life (now senior citizens).. and there are only a few of the people who posted their actual picture that we know of or have ever met. Those being: Christine, Skippy, and Stan. Also..., "White Shoes" (GC's cat)!.
I am all for the feud thread idea! I think whenever a thread takes a personal turn for the worse the people involves should have to move the converstaion to the feud thread. GREAT IDEA!
Is there a winners and losers thread once you are defeated in the feud thread? Does everyone else get to vote on who wins?
jdem Could be a interesting twist! And all the drama lovers can jump in and add fuel to the fire!
auntiel 
I can t believe my simple post received 194 replies....many wonderful photos and a sadly a battle of the photos.....can't wait to post again.....by the way, very few pictures matched my images...you are all great looking people ....(actually I'm afraid to post again)....smile everyone and have a great weekend.....
I think it was CR37 who once wondered if he was in Shoprite and looked around if he wasn't seeing a bunch of HL people just didn't know it.
Well now you're in Shoprite and look over at the deli counter and you've got the name to go with the face...
Darrin, were you driving that sweet ride yesterday WB on Rt. 80 around 1PM? If not, someone has the same car.
No, I was not, guess I better check my garage!!!!
I have seen many similar but none the same, pictures don't really show it, but it is a orange metallic covered in a candy apple red type color, looks like a sparkly maroon color in the dark and metallic red in the sun. And I am pretty much running straight pipes, so you would hear it.
Ah. I just saw the red with black stripes and thought it might have been you. I took my classic out yesterday, made it around the block and headed home. It's running rough for some reason.
I don't have stripes on mine, it's suppose to, but I like it being different.
what do you have?
Oh yeah, thought it had the stripes. Maybe it was the shadows.
I have a '70 Mercedes 280sl- 4sp. And a '73 MB 280 sedan which was my mom's car when I was a tike.
I just put qq's on my 1989 MB 420sel. I have been looking for a 560 to do a motor swap
I also have a 1987 Jeep YJ with qq's
Very nice. I don't have qq's on either of mine. I like to drive them whenever I like. We should start a car thread.
The state's qq fine print is limiting to basically exhibition use, but as long as you are not daily driving them to work, nobody bothers you, plus then you do not have to go through inspection, also registration is free and lasts 3 years. I consider taking the car out for a nice sundry drive exhibition.
