Can you make a living raising squirrels? If so I might be looking for a career change!
Hey! I finally found a picture of myself!

Thanks! I think there is always a curiosity about what female programmers look like.:)

I don't know why that is but you are dead on with that. It's kind of funny to be honest.

Joergen questioned me last night. I told him that if he gave me his email I would send a copy of m picture from my high school yearbook with my name printed on it. Bad hair, but you can tell it's the same person. Besides, if I was going to use someone else's photo it would probably be my ex-best friend with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Why would I pick 'no eyelids' leckey? ;P

Eyelids are overrated! Hell even no eyebrows can be sexy! :) I do, however, draw the line on the eyes. No eyes is definitely a deal breaker.

because dark/black eyes not withstanding, it is a very attractive picture. Honest. I can't imagine long blonde hair and blue eyes being any more improvement, only blonde and blue. hmmmm... now wasn't there an old saying about what black eyes meant? ;) Seriously, its a great picture, don't knock it. You have a lucky husband and squirrels!

I'll admit I was one of those :) And these lugs beat me to telling you that you're beautiful! Now it just feels gratuitous.. well, you are, anyway. :cool: The hubby is a lucky man.

So I'm using some voice recognition software (testing it for a company) and whenever it hears my name "Rex" it outputs the text "Rick" instead. I've emailed the support team and notified them of the quirk. I went on to explain that I don't feel like a "Rick" so I said I would have to lift some weights and go buy a Corvette so that I could manage the identity crisis a bit better. This humor of course made me wonder how many people on CP I could distract into telling me what there stereotype of "Rick" would be. So when you think of "Rick" picture him pulling up to meet you for lunch at a restaurant. - What car/motorcycle/unicycle/etc... would he drive? - Thinning hair? Full head of hair? Long hair? - Sunglasses? - Overweight? You get the idea. What's your perception of Rick? I need to know so that I can resolve my own identity crisis as I have to live with being Rick from now on.:-D
Next time you say your name, say "Rick" and see if it types "Rex". Or say "Dick", and see if it outputs "penis".... Of course, I'm assuming that the programmers are having a spot of fun...

Rick is to Rex as Mini Me is to Dr. Evil.

Yeah, blind is OK*, but the physical lack of eyes, not good. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicia_Masters[^]

When you say Rick, I say roll...

To me, Rick is a cross-dressing nazi warmonger who eats a lot of cotton candy and enjoys vomiting on people while they sleep.

eyes can get glass substitutes depending on the situation. I have known several ladies with at least one glass eye, if you don't know what to look for and the socket muscles are intact, you wouldn't know.
