Hey HOF group.......

[Little Star]

Did you see the pic thread in the Lounge? If not, ya need to go look. Some of HOF members have shown their faces. I'll give you a hint there's two BB's in there. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018337718

Now hop to the rest of you cause I wanna see, lol.

If I can ever figure out how to do it I might put mine up too. But I'm not to good at that stuff. Always needed hubby when it came to our personal picture stuff

1. Good to put faces with ideas and smart conversation.

Never would have clicked on that thread. Thank you.

[seabeyond]

2. i am with you star. i cannot even find the pictures on my computer,

let alone how to post them. but, it was fun looking.

[redqueen]

3. Thanks for the link, I haven't seen one of those in a while. nt

[Helen Reddy]

4. Of course!

The women of HoF are the brightest looking folks on that thread.

[Little Star]

5. I want to see more of them/us. Two is just not enough!....

Bean just put up one of her with Hillary

I'm still working on figuring out how to put up mine but

You gonna share? Please?

6. I think this is wonderful and I love seeing those photos... but just a little bit of caution

If any of you have had serious issues with someone in the past that gives you pause--even if they haven't yet quite risen to the point of stalking, you may want to consider whether you feel comfortable posting a photo that will forever link to your previously anonymous username. This is, unfortunately, an issue for me, which is why I can't post one of my own. It takes very little skill and time to link other information (found throughout the internet) together, once that is done, providing a perfect entree for some with less "friendly" intent to fully identify and possibly locate you. This may sound paranoid, but sadly this is the truth of the internet today.

Even though it has hurt me professionally, this is why I don't do facebook nor most other social media.

For those who can and want to, though, I know I will enjoy seeing your photos and will keep checking that thread.... I've already seen gorgeous photos of our BostonBean (and husband)!

7. I used tiny pic. Hope that covers me!

Thanks for the kind words!

[hlthe2b]

8. I doubt most have to worry...

I loved seeing yours!

[BainsBane]

9. That's a point

considering my post is quite recent. I wonder if I should delete.

[hlthe2b]

11. I think everyone has to do their own risk assessment...

I really do believe most have very little to worry about, though being cautious about identifying textual information is always a good idea--i.e., things that could be used to decipher passwords, etc

Unfortunately, I've had someone unpleasant in my past for whom I could never be certain.. in terms of future intent.

[BainsBane]

13. You never know

and the Cave tracks members, so precaution is wise.

[BainsBane]

10. I'm going to replace mine with an older pic

that can't be traced to my workplace.

[hlthe2b]

12. that might be a good idea

(Nice earlier photo, though!)

[Little Star]

15. That was a great pic of pretty you. But I don't blame you if you switch it out.

[BainsBane]

16. thanks, I liked that one better too.

The problem is it's on my work website. I took it off photobucket too so it shouldn't be traceable at this point.

[Little Star]

14. OK my grandson helped me post my pic.....

It's from a few years ago, lol. Like aprox 10 years ago, lol. I'm the taller one with the not so short hair.

[Helen Reddy]

17. Yes, unfortunately

there is validity in being very cautious, especially us woman-folk. (strong feminist voices)

I have my photo with any comments using a certain site, but it is small and can not be enlarged.

[Helen Reddy]

18. Nice photo of you and your sister Little Star!

Two, lovely compassionate women.

[Little Star]

19. Thanks Helen

20. Lord I don't even have Facebook

I'm a bit camera shy, I'll post a picture some day, I use my iPad a lot and haven't the app that allows for posting pictures.

(I'm feeling increasing pressure from my daughter in Michigan to get a Facebook account)

[BainsBane]

21. all you need

is to take a picture with your IPad, email it to yourself and post it on an open account like photobucket. Just don't use your real name on the account with the photo. Facebook pictures won't link to DU unless you have everything open to the world, which I wouldn't advise.

[ismnotwasm]

22. I used to have photo bucket.

I'll figure it out, it can't be too difficult
