Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 17, 2022

There were some pretty good ones in there! ;^ )

But Polaroids fade!

Come on Arlo. Add to her incentive and pull out the shoe box.

I’d find that discouraging and just eat more!

Didn’t work to incentivize my hairline….

Good to see we’re not the only household with an enormous box full of old photos. (We have three, going back six generations!)

How about digging out one of those VHS tapes made before Gene was born?

Is the human being the only animal concerned about its body image? Could this be the defining characteristic that distinguishes humans from other living things?

Sadly being thin won’t make you young again.

In our old pictures, I had hair and my wife had an 80’s perm, and gigantic glasses.

This is a trap, Arlo. Be careful, be very careful.

Back slowly away. Linger a bit at the doorframe. comment on a picture frame in the hallway that needs dusting. Then retreat to the garage or Man Cave to wait it out.

You don’t have a man cave? Did you not read the pamphlet?

Photos…those were the days!

A blast from the past:

Here, I will help you look. But really, lets not look at the past, let’s look at the fun we can have taking this discussion to the bedroom. I love you the way you are, not the way you were.

A few years back, I had the wallpaper on my desktop set to a picture of us on my motorcycle in 1984. This caused Her to sometimes complain “Why do have that there, reminding us we don’t look like like that anymore?”

“I can look in a mirror for that; this is to remember that, once upon a time, we did look like that!”

I suspect Arlo is looking for a photo of Janis in a bikini.

an enormous box? how about six? After my wife died my grandson decide to produce a video tribute (his line of work) and her daughters went home with that many, and I found some more.

I took over a thousand in high school, that’s what the scanner counted them at. Replacing the DVD writer with a blue ray to get more space on disks going out to family

Is the joke that Arlo wants to look at old pictures of Janis?

With or without clothes my dear….

“This Is Us” – Mark Knopfler with Emmylou Harris – A couple looks through their old photo album. Awesome song!

(I tried to link it, but it didn’t work. Sorry.)

From the look on janis’s face she know’s the photo’s Arlo’s waiting to see and how he will react.

Sadly, but thankfully my wife got rid of some those earlier polaroid’s (SIGH!)

Is the family porn normally kept in a large Tupperware container?

I have a question if anyone wants to give me their opinion. What did you do with all the old pictures that have you and ex spouse in them or just pictures of ex spouse? I have been divorced for 6 months now but he left me 2 1/2 years ago and left me the big tote full of pictures we have and all our engagement and wedding photes and pictures of us taken together and I don’t know what to do with them. Part of me wants to trash them but part of me doesn’t know what to do with them seeing that we were married for almost 25 years. When Mom divorced my bio sperm donor she cut him out of all the pictures but that just makes the pictures look messy. Any suggestions will help me to decide what to do with them. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
