ooh, lotsa interpretations for 'change', i likey :D

[morea]

bump!

[Two-Toe Tom]

ooh, thanks for the bump, i forgot about this :D

[morea]

bump some more! :D

[frankster]

This isn't a submission for the contest because it violates the "no photoshopping" rule, but I showed Morea for shits and giggles and she said post it up in the thread anyway.

It's from 2004 when I was pregnant with my first daughter. It starts at nearly 6 months pregnant because I wasn't showing for aaaages. She was born the day after the last pic was taken. I used to take the photos every now and again in the bathroom mirror. I wish I'd had the forethought to a) get someone else to take the pics and b) wear the same clothes (and not my scrottiest PJs) throughout and hold the camera the same way up throughout. I also wish I'd got a final shot of me holding my daughter as a newborn to put at the end. Hey ho, 20/20 hindsight is a bugger! You gotta dig the cheap casio wrist watch! I'm a classy lady! :D

oh cool, photo stills from "Alien"!

[morea]

I think it's great. :D Thanks for sharing, frankster!

[Red Kittie Kat]

that is really kewl frank!!! :D

[frankster]

Thanks Mo and Kit. I don't have many pics of me smuggling a beach ball because I'm always the one on the other side of the camera. I hope this is an image that my kids will find intriguing when they are older. :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

That is a great image, frankster! I also like seeing how your hair grew as well as your belly!

[Jackimalyn]

lol youre right virgo!

[frankster]

Yeah, as well as the hair and belly growing, the rack got a bit out of control at the end, but that was nothing compared to how ridiculous it got after my daughter was born and I started breastfeeding. It was like I had a comedy fake chest!

[Red Kittie Kat]

I think hair, nails and boobs all grow at an amazing rate when pregnant .. my sister always has lovely nails when she's expecting ;)

[frankster]

my sister always has lovely nails when she's expecting ;)

I had to cut mine really really short about an hour after my daughter was born because I was worried I'd scratch her by accident. :o

[Red Kittie Kat]

so did she :D

[AlexNJ210]

You know there is something about a woman when she is pregnant that just mystifies me. Honestly Frank, this isn't a joke or a bad thing, but imo that was the most beautiful you will have ever been in your life (pj's and all). There is something so beautiful to me about a woman who is carrying. They glow in a way that is one of a kind. An amazing little collage frank, oh and congratulations on being a mother. :)

[Two-Toe Tom]

that be a great pictarrrrr frankster!

this photo challenge be HARRRRRRRRRRRRRd!

[urstwile]

What a cool idea, Frank. Thanks for sharing! :)

[carter the artist]

[CkretAjint]

Glad I am not the only one who thought that. LOL :D

Alex, I do believe you are correct as well kind sir.

[Two-Toe Tom]

maybe its the bigger boob1es :p

[CkretAjint]

haha... Even if you take away the bigger boobies, I still find it to be an amazing 'addition' to a woman. *shrugs*

[Two-Toe Tom]

yeah, its kinda like a third, ultra-boobie, arrrr

[CkretAjint]

OYE! lol :D

[frankster]

yeah, its kinda like a third, ultra-boobie, arrrr

LOL! You freak!

I'm starting another project where I will have the kids stood next to each other once a year and try and get them to look up or down and to one side so when I paste them together it will look like they are looking up at themselves in the future or down at themselves in the past. That's a much longer term project though ;) :D .

[frankster]

bump!
bump some more! :D
Maybe I was subliminally encouraged to post that photo montage!:eek:

[Red Kittie Kat]

[urstwile]

Um, Alex, you're supposed to send your entry to Morea, and then we all take votes on which is our favorite one, and stuff. That way it's kind of anonymous, ya know?

[AlexNJ210]

[GraphixNPrint]

oopps

[icekitty37]

am i the only freaked out by that pic of the belly? lol. i don't want to be reminded that could happen to ME someday! *shudders*

[hewligan]

Nope, I'm not at all concerned that there is even the remotest possibility it could happen to me ;) :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

Nor me :D


So it's all good :D

[Two-Toe Tom]

it might happen to me if i keep on eating nachos for breakfast

[frankster]

Well, it happened to me twice in two years, despite being on the pill for 7 years and not messing up missing one or getting ill or anything. Be very afraid! I figured after it happened twice I should switch to a different, preferably non hormonal form of birth control or risk having a baby a year until menopause and end up being mistaken in the street for Jabba the hut.:eek:

[hewligan]

Oh no! It'll be just like when Vyvyan got pregnant. Neal will have to become a Pig to get the money to buy you furniture! And then there'll be the police brutality! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EqhPuJ-Qyo&mode=related&search=)

Or maybe you just needed to stop eating nachos...

[frankster]

Or maybe you just needed to stop eating nachos...

Are you callin' my babies nacho poo?

[GraphixNPrint]

Or maybe you just needed to stop eating nachos...

NO!!!! keep eating the nachos, just cut out the fattening cheese :rolleyes:

[hewligan]

Are you callin' my babies nacho poo?

No, but now I have an irresistable urge to find someone to accuse of being nacho poo :D

[D-Frag]

can anyone spare some change??

<link collected>

hehe

grrrrr on still not being able to upload a pic, doh!

[GraphixNPrint]

No, but now I have an irresistable urge to find someone to accuse of being nacho poo :D

Choose me hewligan! See lookie over there <-----

[hewligan]

Ooh, GraphixNPrint, you big nacho poo, you!

[GraphixNPrint]

OK its official, I think I will keep this a while! Now if only I could upload Matey Nacho Poo's avatar we would be in good shape. :D

[Tea]

Nacho poo, macho schmoo...for Pete Sock-ee. This is some serious stuff here. You guys make me so retarded.

I have no idea what you just said, but the going crazy thread was over here (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30510) :D

[Tea]

Thanks Hewligan...I guess I left a few words out of my post. But the Nacho poo really sent me off the deep end! Tee hee!

It's been a hellish week.

[morea]

hang in there, Tea!

(((hugs)))

[morea]

[Ovaltine]

I have 3 letters for you... I U D (10 years of non-hormonal birth control)
best thing ever ;)

[yarusskii]

These are cool pics frankster, you should make an animation =)

[frankster]

That's where I'm at baby! 18 months and counting! :D

[AlexNJ210]

its scary how you guys are celebrating that...not that its a bad thing, but...

[frankster]

We totally had a party when I managed to not get pregnant for a whole year! We had a cake and balloons and everything. Sure, they all said happy 1st birthday on them, but we knew. :rolleyes: :D

[AlexNJ210]

haha thats nuts, how many children do you have frank?

[frankster]

Only two right now. They are 17 months apart and I had a miscarriage inbetween them, so it was very very clear after the second was born that my body needed some time off from baby carrying. We'll likely have more because they are totally awesome, but I'd like to plan at least one of my pregnancies. Life has been rock and roll since 2004 because as well as the children, we've got married and emmigrated. Biggest one will be 3 on Monday :D .

[Red Kittie Kat]

Man .. Frank you sure have earned a vacation darlin ;)

[frankster]

Man .. Frank you sure have earned a vacation darlin ;)

Still waiting for a honeymoon!;)

[AlexNJ210]

sounds like you've had several ;)

[m0nal1sa]

Is it too late to submit?

<link collected>

[morea]

Nope, I'll be posting the voting thread tomorrow. I'll make sure that yours is included. ;)

[GraphixNPrint]

by my calculation it only took Morea 15 minutes to scoop this last one up.....

I think Morea is a bot ;) :p

[morea]

I've been saying that for years. :D

oh, I'm not really a cat. I'm a sentient computer program.

lmao. I think that anyone who hits 1000 has to renounce their humanity. Oh wait, that's *10 thousand*.

Beg pardon. We non-human sentient computer algorithms have a tendency to misplace decimals. At least, when we're taking nyquil.

i thought he might have been one of moreas children (morea is infact a sentient A.I.) that has inherited all the knowledge of design theory from moreas vast library of design articles.

Wow. That would be ironic. I mean, I only just revealed to the forum that I am actually a sentient computer program, and now you could turn out to be the world's first sentient taco!

Ok, you got me. I am actually a computer program originally designed and uploaded to the message board by Jupiter Media and have since become sentient. Now I cannot be stopped, and you have all been ensnared in my plot to take over the internet.

Kool asked all of us, but Morea responded first. I guess being a sentient computer program has its advantages. She's Ziggy's cousin, for those of you who read my Quantum Leap thread.

I am really a sentient computer program.

edit: these are listed in reverse chronological order, in case you were wondering.

[GraphixNPrint]

I do have a question Morea... not to hijack the topic...

do you keep all this in a spreadsheet some where, or do you have exceptional memory skills we should write a book about, or are you an alien with fifty hands tirelessly using the search function??

but seriously... how do you ever remember all this and keep track? Write a book for all those disorganized people and businesses out there!

[morea]

I've got just enough recall ability to remember if something has been discussed before, and oftentimes who replied to the thread. Even if I can't remember exactly what was said, I can usually remember enough detail to locate the information I need using a forum search.

The unfortunate fact is that as a "super power" it's pretty lame... it hasn't served me really well as a career or anything. I'm pretty sure that I'd trade it in for the ability to fly.

[GraphixNPrint]

<---uses his devilish "God" given power granting ability to grant Morea flight!

Use this for the evil good my child.... aka... take a well desrved break in Bimini or somewhere!

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Tom :D

[morea]

I love it here. Everybody else is as demented as I am. :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

Demented is good :D

[GraphixNPrint]

Demented is good :Dhaha! It is official, I am good! :D
