O/T what beauty products do you use on your skin? You have no wrinkles!!!!

Not many wrinkles, but if you look close, I've got jowls and am also getting verticals folds around my mouth (which is why I smiled). I also had my eyes done when I was in my fifties, as I've posted before, because of very ugly bags that formed when I developed hypothyroidism. My eyes still look good. And I have "elevens" between my eyebrows which don't show up here.

Believe it or not I am lucky with my skin. I use Pond's facial wipes to wash my face and take off makeup, and Olay as my moisturizer.

Gustav Klimt, my favorite artist. I have seven of his prints.

Oh, he was one of my DH's favorites, too, Ford. He bought a lovely silk scarf for me, depicting "The Kiss," and had it framed. So pretty.

I wish they would post a photo. Why all the mystery?

There are some not-so-nice people on this board who are borderline (and some not-so-borderline) stalkers. I'm guessing that's why. I imagine almost all of you looking positively fabulous.

That's exactly the reason. It's not hard these days to use something like a photo to locate someone's actual identity on the internet. We've all discussed this before. There are stalkers, there are people who compile information about posters (I've seen one poster say she keeps a notebook on posters and the personal info they provide over time). Look at the number of guests online who read. Consider the harassment and personal attacks on threads here, and decide if you want that person finding you in real life. And stalking is not funny. In addition, I suppose it's close to a violation of the QVC standards: "Do not post any personally identifiable information," since photos are easily used to find people with today's technology.

DooBdoo, they've done that anyway . . . tracking my posts to years back because I post personal issues here. If anyone wants to find me, they'll find me, photo or not.

To be truthful, I may not reach 78.

Wow!!! Stunning Ford! Happy Birthday-

Are you sure you're 77? Maybe you read your birth certificate wrong? I wish I looked that good right now and I'm a fair distance from 65!

Which is exactly why I am too chicken to post my picture here.

I know that I would get cruel taunts.

Ford, I truly mean no offense, but even though you know the dangers I think it's not such a good idea encouraging others without detailing the perils.

And I know what you've said in the past, but I'm rooting for you to be with us for a long time to come, my dear friend.

Oh wow, I envy you!! Imagine a man appreciating this wonderful (if controversial) artist. You are lucky indeed. I have the full version of "The Tree of Life" over my love seat in the living room.

I should not encourage anyone. You are right. But many post photos of their grandchildren. I don't see the difference.

So pretty and you're glowing! What's your secret?

It was a happy day for me. I felt decent, and for the first time in a long while did not have to cancel getting together with my beloved family because I was unable to get out of bed.
