It recently occurred to me that I don't know what many of the people I consider to be good friends look like. One of the mysteries of the internet. So I'm going to post a link to some photos of me. In deference to the weight and body image thread, plus my own personal credibility, there is also a picture of me when I was a skinny hottie (just so you don't think I was lying when I said I was once cute). That photo also includes a bit of Ron, but he requsted that I cut him mostly out.
I will remove the photos after a reasonable period of time. I thought it would be fun to see what some of you jokers look like, but I understand that many of you may prefer not to participate. No biggie either way.
Does anyone have a website that I can put my pics on? I can email them to anybody, but I don't have anywhere to put them up myself. Perhaps somebody could start a Hatrack picture post or something?

I am the least photogenic person on the planet and am paranoid of cameras (we couldn't find any pictures to put in my senior portfolio when I graduated from high school.) I have a digital camera sitting right next to me on my desk, but I'm too lazy to use it right now.
I am 6'2" and 140 lbs. I have very dark, wavy(read as "chronic silly hair syndrome") hair. It used to be long like in old pictures of the Apostles but I had to get it cut to come to BYU. My beard had to go as well, so now I look like a Mormon missionary- I had to, I'll be leaving to Taiwan or wherever they send me in January, and they always want a picture and of course you gotta look the part.
My skin has two shades: white and a sort of peeling red. Darn my Anglo-Scandinavian ancestry!
I wear glasses and clothes that I always make sure are at least somewhat out of style, because I hate the fashion industry and everything it represents.
I have an eternal five 'o clock shadow.

Here's a mundanely accurate picture of me in my cubicle where I live.
JK, you can send me a photo and I'll post it. Actually, I'd be happy to host a Hatrack photo album. I'll create the album and publish it in such a way that you can't get to it from my personal homepage, that way only hatrackers (for the most part) will know about it.
If you're interested in being in the album, please send me a photo of yourself via email, or a link to a photo of yourself.

Why would you let someone take a picture of you in a messy house naked while you were smoking?
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
Ladyday, I'm not too shabby when it comes to fixing up photos. (Witness the "holy snitzor" photo link above). Messy-house backgrounds can be blurred out, colored over, or replaced.
Also, if someone doesn't have access to a digital camera or scanner, I can take care of that. Email me for details.

Everyone looks so friendly! My goodness, I wouldn't have expected that seeing your faces would make such a difference, but it does. Wow.
Olivet ... you are gorgeous. Now. Not in a oh-yes-everyone-is-beautiful-in-their-own-way sense, but like one really healthy, stunning chick. Dang, girl, I'm way impressed. (Will send a picture of mine once I get one taken in next few days -- promised another friend, too. )
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
Wow! I'm so impressed! Everyone looks so nice!! Olivet really is pretty! Otaku's Eager and Maxes look just like my Maxx (except my Maxx is skinny)!! I've always thought JK was older, for some dumb reason that I know not. Anyone that hasn't seen me can find me on my website (link is in my profile).

OMG! Olivet you are beautiful and you have adorable little boys.
Okay, I'm taking the plunge. For some reason, the thumbnails aren't showing on my screen, but just click on the pics and you should see them - they're there.
I've given you a before (10 years ago ), a really astonishing pregnancy picture, a now pic (although it's not really a now pic, because it was taken about a year ago, but it's close.) Oh, and there is a pic of my house and my kids.
You can find me on my website also (in my profile), but here's some pics not linked on my site that might be easier.
*sigh* my links didn't work. Something about geocities, since I can type in the url and it'll take me to the pics. Weird. Try something else next....

And I think the photo album is a great idea, too! For something like that, I might even find a picture of me!

Jeniwren, your links didn't work. But I did get to your website through your profile. You look almost exactly as I pictured you, weird. (that's a compliment by the way! I pictured you as appearing very pretty and friendly, and you do!) Christian is precious.
Moose, that is one of the cutest pics I've ever seen!
May I just point out that it seems that hatrackers, in general, have exceptionally cute kids? (Yeah, mine included. )
KarlEd, I'd love to add to a photo album, but I'll wait and email you something new if you do set that up. Wes and I are going to have some studio pics done for our 10th anniversary photo, so I'll send you one of those since it will be more current.

Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
To those of you who think I'm cute-- consider yourselves lucky you don't have to see me naked
Belle-- You are lovely as well, and what a nice house! I am also very envious of your lovely daughters. The Fella is also cute, but cute boys, I have. I went to buy Robert a new jacket tonight and they had the cutest little girl jacket with a matching hat. *Olivet wants a daughter, can you tell?*
Jeniwren, your little moppet also seems to be quite the perfect combo of looks, smarts and personality. From the pix of you, I can tell where he gets it
Moose-- The mooslet is adorable! He looks like the kind of baby my oldest would be petting (Robert loves to rub babies' heads, pat their cheeks and say "Awwww, cute!" He actually asked if we could go to the hospital and "pet the babies." Go figure)
Jadzia- That is a lovely site. Much better than I could do, I'm certain. Ignore Cedrios. Most of us do, anyway
Cedrios- Do please post a link to a picture of you, so I can do a screen capture and put you in frilly underthings in photoshop. Oh, such fun!

Olivet, you're *gorgeous*. So photogenic! And then there's your boys! No wonder you stay home with them! I liked the half picture of Ron too, but he should let you show the whole thing, I think.
Belle, what a wonderful crew you have! Loved your house picture. We're trying to decide whether to put shutters on our house too, and I think your picture is leaning me in the YES direction.
Snowden, you look absolutely nothing like I expected, despite all descriptions previously shared. For no reason I can think of, I pictured you short and kind of squareish. The reality is *much* nicer.

I've only received 2 photos emailed so far. If anyone else wants their photo in the album, please either send a copy via email, or send an email requesting to be added to the album, with a link to the photo you want me to use.
If this works well, maybe we can expand and each have a personal page with a short bio, or whatever.
Ideas welcome.
Posted by LetoII (Member # 2413) on :
Well, I don't know how many count me as a 'friend', considering my relatively short time here, but may as well see me.
I can't find any more. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, but they were all done for fun (I don't like looking for photo ops anywhere), so quality wasn't an issue.
Karl, you can use any of the above (I leave it to your artistic integrity). Just don't link them directly, if you do. I don't know how much longer I'll have that space.

Hi! I do have a digital camera, but no website. I'll send them to the Hatrack Album whenever somebody sets it up. There is a picture of me on Hatrack, though. John Keats and Slash the Berserker are in there, too. And the Flying Cow.
It's the Literary Boot Camp photo. I'm the small, disembodied head with brown hair and a big smile. Keats is in the front with a baseball cap. The Flying Cow has a black t-shirt and curly hair on his head. If we look tired, it's because we were.
Yeah, ALL the pics. Honeymoon, Paris, Halloween....All of 'em.
Luckily, I've got the vast majority backed up to CD -- and the ones I don't have backed up (like the wedding pics), I'll just have to rescan.

Actually, it's a little known fact that Curious George was originally a female in his/her original incarnation. When the author moved to the USA, Fifi (I think) was changed to George.

You don't have to be tall to model. Runway models, yes, usually. I did some sportswear modelling when I was younger, even though I had a very slight figure and was a shade under 5'8".
I'm also what people call "photogenic", which means I look like a sea hag in person LOL
But seriously, the pictures taken of me with my babies within minutes of their birth-- I look so good. It's amazing. I have no idea how that happened.
Tom, we love you, whatever you look like. There is at least one person on Hatrack I still wouldn't like if they were attractive, wealthy, etc. You will still have my respect, even if you were horribly disfigured or something. It matters not a whit.

I may fiddle with some stuff and post a few pics of my beloved later today, but I fear I shan't leave them up long. He's gained about 60 pounds since I've known him, most of it since he got his desk job (some of it came when he was travelling-- all that eating out-- but he carried a set of weights with him in his luggage if his hotel didn't have a fitness room, so it didn't get out of hand). He's unhappy with his weight, thugh it makes little difference to me except for health concerns, and the fact that I hate to see him unhappy with his appearance since he was such a cock of the walk before

Wes and I are going to have some pics made next month for our 10th anniversary, I'm hoping I'll have dropped some more pounds by then. Plus, we are planning on getting a new addition to the family when we get back from our anniversary trip.
I'm getting myself a puppy. I tell most folks it's for the kids, but you guys can know the truth. So, when I can I'll post some pics of the new arrival. We're planning on getting a yellow or chocolate labrador.

Thank you. I've spent a heck of a lot of time and money putting that system together.
In fact, this very evening I've been spending the last few hours re-equalizing the entire setup. Basically, the process is to measure with an RTA, adjust with the equalizer, and then measure with the RTA again. Keep repeating until it's "as good as it's going to get." What a hassle!

What about the hubby? I guess t doesn't matter what other folks think of him as long as I could gleefully spread him on a plate and sop him up with a biscuit.

TooTrue, you are most fetching either way! By "normal" I just meant so clean-cut, guy-next-doorish. The second picture, though also most attractive, has more of the brooding intensity I'd pictured. *twinkling smile*
Khavanon, a pleasure to meet you.
Irami, Irami, Irami ... were I not absolutely and completely smitten with my beloved spouse, your utter charm would have me captivated. (Can you be this witty, this intelligent, this well-spoken and such an attractive man?) But my friend, I say with the utmost sincerity: you will make some woman very, very happy. And I am honored among women to call you friend. *warm hug*
(Now I'm going away for awhile -- all this fuss is rather scary. And work calls again, yet more gunky ears to dig and stitches to sew. A pleasure indeed to meet you all! )

ClaudiaTherese - listen to Bonduca! *L* Your hesitation in making your pics available is completely unwarranted!
And thanks for your kind words on my photos - note that I can't just put up a simple photo? I have to play with it - my way of trying to distract people from the actual picture itself... *L*
Martha: Thank you too - and your costumes are fantastic!! And you look great in them!

cool .. I hear some have a preferred side .. but a preferred eye? .. that's original .. and the best looking eye I've seen on the internet in a while! Is the kid you too?

Posted by Perelandra (Member # 3632) on :
skywier, Are you referring to my posting? I assume you are, but I dont quite understand the eye bit. Could you clarify for me?
If so, the kid is me. I think I originally put that up there to attract women. However, I dont believe it ever worked.
Posted by skywier (Member # 2610) on :
mmm .. the top left pic I think, is a photo of one eye (I forget which one, I presume its yours).. and a very striking eye at that! I dont believe I have ever seen a more striking eye!!
.. u could always try taking systematic and strategic pop shots, like the 'one eye'pic, of other body parts and see if that helps get the girlies in? I suggest you select them tastefully and with great caution!

No more photos of me, though -- two posts verges on spam, and I have no burning desire to challenge JoeT. I am, however, considering posting a slew of nun pictures from my family.

Snowden had full permission to post that picture of me, but I thought I ought to bite the bullet and post a few myself.
Just a couple, mostly because I like my new haircut.
Wow, ladyday! You look great with that hair cut. I had one very similar (though I'm letting it grow out). I looked awful. It takes a really pretty face to make hair that short really work for you, and I just don't have it.
Me and Joel. For reference, those heels made me easily over 6'. I told Joel he'd have to pretend I was a European supermodel, or something. Because I love those heels.

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Patrick,
I think you should start a thread about this. Or give me permission to do so....
What punishment did the girl get?
Things like this make me mad and I could use some opinions about the right things to do in a situation like it. My parenting skills seem woefully inadequate for these kinds of situations. I probably would have told my son way to go. This could be why the school never calls me about problems at school anymore. I mean really, if he had told the teacher he would have bheen a tattletale and picked on even more, but if he stands up for himself then he is the bad kid. And do we really teach our children to ignore such behavior? You know, if you don't let them know it bothers you they will get bored and stop? Here are a couple of things I would have done if I were in charge of the school.
1. I think the girl should have been sitting alone at a lunch table for the rest of the week. (okay this one I probably wouldn't have done, but I do love the punitiveness of it. Is that even a word?)
2. Had the girl stay after lunch and help clean up the cafeteria. (I like the community service part of this and if your school is anything like mine was, she would have missed recess to boot.)
3. Have ever child at the lunch table participate in a bully/teasing prevention class. Have the teacher ask why everyone at the table did nothing to stop it. If they all ignore the problem....arg! Why are people such idiots? And why do they feel the need to pick on others all the time? And why does no one do anything to stop this? They wonder how someone can get murdered in broad daylight and have a crowd of witnesses that saw nothing.

This thread is incredibly long. I guess it just goes to show that humans are social animals interested a lot more in what people look like than in religion or politics or Harry Potter. But then again, a group of people that spends alot of its time online is probably starved for that kind of outlet.
And since the odds of anyone actually reading this is slim to none, I'm gonna put other stuff here as well. Kind of like shouting it out into a wide nothing. Sounding my barbaric yawp from the rooftops of the world (thanks Robin Williams).
Why do we have this fascination with bodily excretions? Like whenever I blow my nose, I always have to look at the Kleenex to find out what came out. I think it stems from this primal urge to always be looking for food. I think that it’s to answer one of those basic questions that we’re always subconsciously asking ourselves. Like, we’ll look at something and ask, “Can I eat this?” and, “Could this kill me?” and, “Can I procreate with this?” A woman would fall under all three of these questions. A booger falls under just the first question. Some of you may remember you used to eat boogers; I know I did. It’s part of that curiosity with things that young children have. Wow, look what came outta my nose, wonder what it tastes like. Oh, it’s edible, neat, wonder what else I can eat. Hmm, how ‘bout some dirt. Let’s see, can’t just eat dirt by itself, seems like more of a seasoning, like salt or pepper. Well, I’ve got some graham crackers right now, yep, that sounds good, dirt and graham cracker. Hmm, it’s edible too. What a wonderful world. That’s why you’re happy when you’re a little kid, subconsciously you think you can eat the whole world. And you don’t know about many things that can kill you either. Nor do you worry about procreating. Later in life you find out you can only eat a small percentage of things in the world and you find out about a lot of things that can kill you and on top of all that you waste all of your time trying to get laid. No wonder we like to drink. Drinking is actually funny, it’s something we can eat, but it can kill us, but it’ll help us get laid. And that brings up another bodily excretion, vomit. I think that’s what this little essay is. Intellectual puke. I drink in some life until I get drunk off it and then it’s all gotta come up.
It was hot and humid that day, Permitting a thin gloss of sweat on her cleavage. Thank you for low-cut tops, O Lord. And our daily bread, and the crumbs Which fall from her lips, settling Absurdly on her breasts.
I wanna talk about the olden days. You never hear that word with anything else but days. Days and times, in olden times. But nothing else. There’s no olden minutes. Gee, Jack, I hope we can put this misunderstanding behind us. -- What! It just happened a few minutes ago! -- Those were the olden minutes, Jack. That was way back in the olden seconds. There’s no olden people walking around. A piece of stinky, olden cheese. Stinky molding cheese, sure. This milk has gone bad! --No, it’s not bad, it’s olden milk. In the olden days men were men. It’s like back then in the olden days you were a boy and then one day you shot a bear and screwed a broad and you were a man. Nowadays, I think there’s three stages. There’s boy, and then before man there’s this guy period. What’s up with that? It’s because there’re no bears around anymore. We can’t go out and shoot a squirrel and be like, “Yes, I am now a man!” Nope, not like back in the days of yore. That’s another word that doesn’t have any current meaning.
Pee is yellow, beer is yellow, but when you drink a lot of beer, the pee becomes clear. What the f@ck [edited for your reading pleasure] is going on there!
Don’t you love finding money in your pockets? Oh man that’s the best.
I was opening this bottle of water and I notice on the cap an expiration date: Oct 2003. Apparently water can go bad! Holy shit! I feel terrible for the people who own beach-front property. Sure the salt preserves the water a little longer, but at some point, it’s gonna start curdling and the stench will be awful. Of course, real estate agents will say, “It hasn’t gone bad, it’s olden water!”
Ok. And if you've read this far, I'll probably have more material in a few weeks.

Jaccare you look like a hunk in those wedding photos. You are in no way innately reprehensible to look at, and methinks thou art guilty of fishing for compliments!! You are a handsome family, and with that combination of good looks the likelihood of further good looking additions is very high! Posted by JaneX (Member # 2026) on :
Jacare, your family is beautiful. I love your daughter...she's adorable!

Posted by Jeffrey Getzin (Member # 1972) on :
Jacare,
Well, I can't tell from the photo if it's a notch-lapel, but it looks like you did everything else right, so take heart! And the others are right: you do look good in a tux!

Okay, I've finally got my photos page back up -- mostly. The wedding and honeymoon pages are still a shambles, and nothing's really INTACT or decorated or captioned, but at least it's all there -- and no longer on that d**ned Crosswinds site.
I'm so glad to see the Paris shots are back up - I really loved those.

Man... I gotta get myself to a scanner at some point, yeesh. I finally sat down to read through this thread - all nine pages! Okay, I admit I skimmed a bit... but, them's be a lotsa posts.
It's so cool to see what everyone looks like.. and jehovoid, I think I almost fell out of my chair laughing at your rant, or riff, or whatever one might call it.
Hm. If I wasn't stuck in Atlanta, I'd have some pics to post - but all my pics are back in New Jersey... three weeks or so, and I'll have a pic up... December 20th or so... keep your eyes peeled. Well, not really, cuz that'd hurt.. and be kinda messy... then again, saying keep an eye out isn't much better... I'll stop now...

On the offchance that anyone's running around frantically saying, "Oh no, oh no, I don't know what Ophelia looks like! Whatever shall I do?" (although I'm sure there are far more people saying "Who the heck is this girl?" cuz I haven't been around much lately) here are some of me at school, all taken over the past year.
I am the short girl with long hair, which is red in anything after October 27, but brown before that...these are approximately most recent to least recent
These are from an Astros game this September...for some reason, the girl whose pictures these are confused me with my roommate when naming them, but I'll forgive her Rachel and me Sam and me

Ouch, no. I am always amused by the totally worthless techniques shown in movies. Most of the time those are used for show.
It is former flexibility. I havent practiced for a few years and can only kick at head height. I used to be able to kick almost vertically, but I havent had a good stretch in a while.

Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
OK, let's play the Name Game*. Who's your friend?
----- * The Name Game is a common phenomenon best illustrated by example: Person 1: I go to [someuniversity]. Person 2: Really? I know someone who goes there! Person 1: Hmm, I wonder if I know them... Person 2: [His/Her] name is [somepersonsname]. Person 1: Sounds familiar, but I don't think I know [him/her]. OR Nope, can't say I've heard of [him/her].
Rarely does anything come out of this exchange, but for some reason everyone does it anyway (including me ).
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
I played a variation of that when I was studying in Ireland. I was in a very, very small pub in Sligo, and I said I was from the US... a guy said, "Really? Bob over there's from America... lemme get him"
Turns out Bob was visiting from California, and the man wanted to know if he and I knew each other... being as how I'm from Jersey, that'd be no.
Oh, and everywhere I went in Greece that I mentioned I was from New Jersey, a local would say "I have a cousin who owns a diner in New Jersey! Do you know him?" Must have happened a minimum of 5 times over the course of two weeks.
Yes, the world is small. No, the world is not the size of a basketball.
Cow
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
Cow - it is quite funny how sometimes the world seems as small as a basketball, while other times, it doesn't. I remember getting a similar thing while in Bulgaria. Someone would ask me where I was from and when I told them I was from Phoenix, AZ they'd say something to the effect of "my cousin's next door neighbor Ivan lives in Phoenix, do you know him?" Since there are more than 3 million people that live in and around Phoenix and I know only a minute fraction of those people, the answer was always, "I don't think so." Then again, while living there, I met another American girl who was very good friends with one of my cousins. Posted by Irami Osei-Frimpong (Member # 2229) on :

Yes, folks, it's really that simple, and there's no limited time! That's right, I don't need to charge people to see my wonderful-ness. I consider this a little bit of "giving back a little of what I've been blessed with", and I think that it's just 'right'.
Donations are always accepted, however. Cash is best, checks are okay as well.

Okay, for the first time in my life I have pictures online. The aren't very good, especially the bottom one, but that's what I look like. I'm not usually wearing a tux though. Thats my brother's wife I'm dancing with. Our relationship was much less strained then. The bottom one is my walking down the aisle with a bridesmaid.
Well look at that, Xav's physical cuteness lives up to his online cuteness. Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :

Yeah, like I said, Hatrackers are very generous with praise .
Now you guys know what I look like. Kind of strips a layer of anonymity. Its only fair though, considering the title of this thread...
Posted by Eddie Whiteshoes (Member # 2951) on :
Hey, Javier, dude, you're kinda cute. As far as I can tell, that is.
I think I can get someone -- anyone -- to take a digital photograph of me in the next month or so. And then my glory will rock the Internet. No, it will BREAK IT IN HALF!

Posted by Tristan (Member # 1670) on :
OK, having been here well over a year, I finally feel ready to shed some of the anonymity by producing a photo, albeit a rather dark one. Beware of the pop-ups. You have been warned.
Two hotties in a row Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Yeah, Tristan ain't bad, neither.
I mean, no one is Xavier. But only Xavier is Xavier, so if your gonna be not Xavier, you may as well be a cutie like Tristan.
edit: Tristan ain't bad, not ain't babe. Two little letters, and a world of difference.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Ronin - What you need to do is complain about that to DB in a private chat. Then he'll go on and on about how great you look. You pay him a small fee later, but if you have a wounded ego it's pretty worth it. I would recommend the "Bribe a David" method in a heart beat. Great product.

Love the ironic smirk and the "I can really hurt you if I want to" look in the eyes.
BTW, EW.COM rated the Summer movie hunks and gave Vin Diesel #2 just behind Colin Farrell and just ahead of Hayden Christensen.
I was pleased that Christian Bale made, like, number 7. I agreed with the Colin Farrell assessment: "The biggest thing to come out of Ireland since beer."
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
Thankies!
Mrowrl! Vin Diesel!
And I definitely like him better than Hayden...the whole "I'm a scary stalker" thing in Ep2 kind of spoiled him for me...though he did look good in Life As a House.
Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
Yeah, the fake tan in Ep II really made him look too much like my cousin for me to think of him as having any sort of appeal as a "romantic lead." I like 'em pale, pretty and old enough to shave. Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

It was super tough for me to decide whether or not to post my pic. I waffled about it forever. I'm glad you did, Xnera. Now I know who's the athlete behind the posts.

Heh, I'm more crazy than athletic. I'm at least 40 pounds overweight, have terrible eating habits, and hardly ever exercise. I did that race on nearly no training. I'm still surprised I finished. Probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for Biofreeze. Biofreeze is wonderful.

Well mine is here. It's really bad quality because the only way for me to get a picture onto my computer is to film it, then load it onto a video editor, then print the screen, then save it as a jpeg. Plus the color is gone because there wasn't enough light. But it's there.

I don't have a Yahoo account farther than a gecities weeb site. If that means that I do have an account, I'm not aware of it.
Did you copy and past the link into your browser or just click on it? If you did the latter, the former. IF you did do the former, try this: http://www.geocities.com/Hobbes7714/Hobbes_and_me (without the .jpg). I'm not sure why it isn't working, so I'll attempt to come up with a solution.

[This message has been edited by Maethoriell (edited October 29, 2002).]
Posted by luthe (Member # 1601) on :
Hobbes it is not working because (if my understanding is correct) Geocities checks the referrer that the browser sends when requesting an image, if that referrer does not point to a geocities page it does not display the image. They do this to keep people from using their sites as storage for images that are used on another site, among other reasons. There is no way around it if you are just linking directly to the image, although you could create a page that contained nothing but a HTML tag for the image. And link to that instead, the appearance for those trying to see your image would be just about the same.

Last night. It isn't very goods for reason's I explained above. I was going to take another, better one today, outside so that it wouldn't be so dark.... but it snowed 4-6" and it's still coming.
All right, I'm going to create a link from my home page to the picture, I'll post a link to my home site when I've done it.
Partially I wanted to bump this thread and partially I wanted to use a basically dedicated T1 line for my website. (It's my high school's server and no one uses it, espeically over the summer, so I can keep my account there even though I'm not going there ).

But I did get to your website through your profile. You look almost exactly as I pictured you, weird. (that's a compliment by the way! I pictured you as appearing very pretty and friendly, and you do!) Christian is precious.
. Eager has the same pattern. My cat is only 6 months old.
but since dra won't leave me alone about it I'll post the url of my pic. The pic was over a year ago but it is the only one I have. BTW you may want to use this pic to keep the mice away.
