Ummm . . .::looks:: Yes, my paperback copy of LotR is on the bottom of the pile that's actually IN the bookshelf. Other than that . . . on the floor is The Fionavar Tapestry, a Star Trek New Frontier book, a biography of Jane Austen and a book by Silver Ravenwolf. And Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban. =P

Gimli Son Of Gloin 08-12-2002 01:00 PM

You mean my pic don't work? I don't know what the problem is...

NazgulNumberTen 08-12-2002 01:03 PM

i know what you are up to gimli...you shall trick us no more...

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-12-2002 01:15 PM

Heren Istarion!! You look like Jamie Oliver!! (from the show, Oliver's Twist)

Tigerlily, and Naarmare, you both are very pretty.

And Stephanos..wow, you are hot. I mean, the way your skin is so green, the way your eyes seem to pop out of your head..*sighs*..You have some lucky girlfriend there.

Gimli, you handsome and glorious person, you, I can't see the picture either.

Elenna 08-12-2002 01:30 PM

That doesn't surprise me as much as it should, NN10.

I am going home in a week and a half. I promise to post a picture then. I had some good ones taken not too long ago, when I got my braces off.

So soon you will be able to marvel at the beauty of Elenna.

The Barrow-Wight 08-12-2002 01:34 PM

Gimli, you must upload your picture image to the internet. right now it is on your hard drive and only you can see it. I recommend taking advantage of Alkanoonion's generous offer.

Legolas 08-12-2002 02:06 PM

Gimli's picture is actually on the net. It is his HTML code that is wrong.

In your html code, Gimli, you have the picture's location as "file:///E:/MyFiles/Graduation%20and%20After/Graduation%20Pictures/PICT0073.JPG"
so it will obviously show up to you since that's where the picture is on your hard drive. We, however, don't have it on our hard drive (if anyone does, probably not at that location). You've uploaded it to the web server you're using though, so go into the html code and change it to simply "PICT0073.JPG" and it will show up.

Davin 08-12-2002 02:40 PM

If you wanna see Gimli...just go HERE


Nice hat!

NazgulNumberTen 08-12-2002 02:51 PM

Raefindel 08-12-2002 03:48 PM

Green ringwraith, you links don't work either.

Helen Hunt was in the TV series "Mad About You" and has been in several movies including "Twister" "Castaway" and "What Women Want".

Frankly, I'm surprised. I assumed you were a guy. Sorry about that.

The Green Ringwraith 08-12-2002 03:54 PM

-_-' Tis ok. I get that ALOT...

Gimli Son Of Gloin 08-12-2002 05:26 PM

Hey Davin, how did you get the pic working?!?

Raefindel 08-12-2002 05:30 PM

Yeah, ya kinda do look like Helen Hunt. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Davin 08-12-2002 05:37 PM

I dunno what I did...it just worked.

Maybe I'm just gifted [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-12-2002 05:52 PM

Am I the only one who didn't see Gimli's picture on that site?

Gimli Son Of Gloin 08-12-2002 06:24 PM

Yes. Restrain yourself when you do [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nevfeniel 08-12-2002 06:33 PM

Gimli, you look nothing like I imagined! (BTW, that's not an insult, just an observation [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].)

burrahobbit 08-12-2002 06:41 PM

Er, The Green Ringwraith, you don't look like Helen Hunt in any way, shape, or form. I think you should punch the person that said that in the face, because they were lying to you.

[ August 12, 2002: Message edited by: burrahobbit ]

Mhoram 08-12-2002 06:46 PM

I can see how there might be a bit of a Helen Hunt thing going on there.

Tigerlily Gamgee 08-12-2002 07:18 PM

Lothiriel Silmarien - Thank you for your compliment [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] & I can't see Gimli's pic either
Rae - I've gotten that a lot before, especially when my hair was really blonde... thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nice pics everyone!!! I enjoy seeing what you really look like!

Bulelainwen 08-12-2002 08:20 PM

I still dont see Gimli's pic either. I would post my pic but i have NO IDEA how to get my pic from Excel to the web, can someone help me???

Alkanoonion 08-12-2002 09:35 PM

Copy the picture so that it is in word format or as a jpeg and email me at joe.wahl@transport.sa.gov.au or jwahl@bigpond.com and I will add it to my web page tonight. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Feanaro 08-12-2002 10:57 PM

Wish to see the Spirit of Fire himself? No? Can't blame you, certainly many of you will be in for an eye-opener. Regardless here is a more recent picture of myself and my two cousins. The younger looking chap on the left is none other than myself. Once again just copy and paste into your favorite internet browser.

burrahobbit 08-12-2002 11:21 PM

The strange reason is that you are using geocities. Geocities is the internet ghetto. You can still use geocities, but it is best if you put the picture onto a page. A good no nonsense example is:

<pre>&lt;html&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.somecrap.com/ITSME.jpg"&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</pre>

BW, you might want to put a similar tip into the first post.

Gimli Son Of Gloin 08-12-2002 11:57 PM

I got a pbetter picture of me upload, and it works this time. I also fixed the former one. Another picture of my handsome and glorious self [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*Varda* 08-13-2002 02:15 AM

WOW [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Gimli, you look nothing like I expected you to! I kind of expected a mini version of someone I know...which can be a compliment or not...

Stephanos is HOT! love the green skin you've got going on there.

How do I put a link to my pic? I would appreciate if someone could show me, or I send a pic to someone and they do it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
After I have got help, feel free to delete this post..

Raefindel 08-13-2002 10:29 AM

Gimli, I've restrained myself, but my daughter is in tears. she wants to know if you will take her to Disneyland. LOL! Somehow I imagined you as having light brown hair.

Feanaro, Nice pictures. What a head of hair!

NazgulNumberTen 08-13-2002 10:34 AM

gimli, i wont say it, but the smilies will!

Raefindel 08-13-2002 10:40 AM

Thank You SO much, Alkanoonion ! You're Great!

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-13-2002 10:44 AM

Ok...first I'll start with Gimli. You look like someone I know too! It's kinda hard to explain....it's like I met you before but I didn't. You just look like someone I might have met before. I'll just stop, since most likely no one gets what I'm saying..

Rae, you look like someone I know too! BUT someone that I actually know!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And I am just taking a wild guess here, but that man next to you is your husband right? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Alkoonian! You really don't look like what I expected you to look like! That's not bad though! I hope you don't get this the wrong way though. Now don't get me wrong, you don't act like this, I just assume wrong-ly. (do I add the ly? Oh well) But I kinda thought you were a 13 year old girl. Who had to be really smart though. I mean, stupid me should have guessed that from all your posts you were not a 13 year old girl. I'm sorry though! Don't hate me for my terribly wrong guess!! But you know what you remind me of now? A really nice biker dude. The ones that like poetry and are sensitive. Not a bad thing though! Biker guys are cool!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Squatter, you look like your an actor. I like your long hair!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And how can I forget Feanaro. I saw your picture first, so I should have mentioned you first. Sorry about that. You look like my older sister's friend Aaron. Which is a good thing! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And yes, just about everybody reminds me of someone!!

Elenna 08-13-2002 11:26 AM

Feanaro, you have the same haircut as my best guy buddy, Paul. Except his is brown.

Flattery will get you nowhere but my good books, Lothiriel. The closest that I get to acting is pretending to be programming when I am, in fact, posting to the Downs.

Actually my hair's longer than that: the picture was taken two years ago; before my horrific accident. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The other person in the photo is one of my housemates, who occasionally looks over my shoulder at the Downs. I'm trying to persuade him to join up.

onewhitetree 08-13-2002 02:01 PM

Here's me.

I look a lot nicer than I am. Don't let the pink sweater fool you.

Nope! That's my little brother. We were hiding Easter eggs.

Gimli Son Of Gloin 08-13-2002 04:02 PM

Raefindel, I have parthenophobia. (sort of)
