It was the 10th and 11th child that did it to her. She couldn't get the weight off that time.

She became a lifeguard when she was 70 years old. Swims a couple of miles a day. She's in great shape physically, but the sags!!!

She has a swimmer friend who is a cosmetic surgeon. He said he would take care of those things for nada cost. She said, "No." She is who she is.

[hobbes1]

And you saw this as well I take it?

[Argh]

Well, good luck to her. I posted that picture of Mr. Merrick because you didn't seem to believe I'd seen photos of him. I'm pretty sure they were in Playboy, hence the full frontal, rearal (rearal??) and in bed with the hooker photos. With a brief biography of him.

and my hole punching can extend for another entire week!

Darling, if you need your hole punched for an entire week, there is only one person capable of doing that job.....When do you plan to be in manhattan ?

[Slip18]

I really couldn't tell which side of him it was. It was the Deguere photography then. Isn't that what it's called? Dang, I'll have to go to Google again.

Heck, it's not there. I must be spelling it incorrectly.

[Slip18]

It's kind of like this photograph. I wish my brain would snap into place.

This was from the 1920s or 30s. Photographs of Merrick is much earlier.

[Argh]

No, daguerreotype (his name was Daguerre) disappeared commercially about the time of the Civil War. Mr. Merrick lived from about 1862 to about 1890. You're welcome.

[Slip18]

Searching for photography, I found this site. You will love it. Right here!

[Slip18]

Thank you, Darling. I knew it was Dega something.

[NeoCaveman]

Are the F*ng magnificent or what?

Absolutely.

[Slip18]

Beautiful photography by Deguerre at Google.

I'll have to look for 1870 through 1890.
