Joannie the Fox

ray a

Well, Joannie is well on her way to being one of our prolific posters.... she hit #400 with a rather auspicious post... or maybe I should say titillating. Anyway, Joannie seems to be quite the woman and since she hasn't posted her photo yet I thought it would be fun to speculate on what she looks like. Let's see, I would guess that she is rather tall and quite shapely. Probably long blonde hair since she seems to have a lot of fun, but not naturally so because she does have streaks of intelligence. She is somewhat wild, so I wouldn't be at all surprised that she is a biker chick - I wonder how many tattoos she has and where.... well, maybe we don't want to know where.

What do you think? Am I close?

She's a grandma. I bet the grandkids brag about her being the "cool kind of grandma" who is always the first adult to join the neighborhood kickball game, and she serves lemonade to everyone afterward. She also never forgets to add "a little something" to the lemonade for the adults.

If her hair is long, she always wears it in a ponytail or somehow put up, because she just does not have the time to mess with it. She has better things to do.

Her tattoo is placed somewhere discreet, because she wouldn't dare show it at work. She may be a "cool grandma" but at work she's the consummate professional.

Right this very moment, however, she is at the tattoo parlor getting the HR Hero logo on her left shoulder. She's debating whose name will be printed below it in tribal script.

I think she'll have all our names tattoo'd on her shoulder blade just below the hero logo.

Yes, she is a grandmother, but I doubt she wears her hair in a bun or sits on a rocking chair on the porch knitting. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets out there and plays basketball too, with her long legs, she probably plays center.

And I am the who gets accused of stirring the pot?

Ray is just trying to bait Joannie into posting her photo. Q is helping because she wants to post her photo too but doesnt want to be the first one on the dance floor.

HRQ

Everything we said about Joannie was flattering. (Or was meant to be)

I posted my photo three years ago... I guess I could repost it, now that I know how. Maybe I'll get around to posting a current picture in three more years. x:-)

I haven't changed much except for more gray hair, which I have finally resorted to coloring. I was starting to look like Bride of Frankenstein with the white streaks emanating from her temples. My children are much bigger now, too...

I'm getting even with Joannie.

Paul in Cannon Beach

Even for what? Oh never mind. I just remembered.

Carry on.

Joannie is from Oklahoma. Today its 102 in Tulsa with a heat index of 109.

I think she hasn't responded because she can't muster the energy.

She's probably sitting by the pool in her bikini.

And so we have come full circle.

Ok, so I know what I am going to see in my nightmares tonight.

Thanks, Joannie.

Unfortunately yes, the picture did come through. Pretty much destroys any positive images you could have of our dear okiejoannie. But just to fuel your imagination since you can't see the picture, I do believe she's in a bikini! Ug.

ray a

Ahhh.... that explains why our server here at work has blocked it.

HRQ

You were right! She DOES have long blonde hair, ray.

I don't see the HR Hero tattoo. Maybe I am just distracted by the other embellishments.

joannie

Why Q, it's right there on the left shoulder. Can't you see it?

ray a

BTW guys, you should see the photo Joannie sent to me privately..... [b][i]WOW!!!![/b][/i]

joannie

Oh, Ray, you're just upset 'cause you can't see the picture. Besides, it's nothing compared to the nature series you sent Q, ritaanz and me.

ray a

After Q heard about the photos you and Ritaanz received, she has thanked me profusely for sending her the winter scene in the parka.

HRQ

Told you guys he likes me best. He would never subject me to what you gals have suffered through.

The parka is awfully cute. It has that furry stuff around the hood that frames his face when the hood is up. The fur is light blue with sparkles. His boots match the parka. They are also white with light blue sparkly fur trim.

Adorable, really.

HRQ

Ahhh - there it is. It just blended in so nicely with the rest of your look that I missed it.

joannie

I've got a picture of Ray tattooed on my right cheek!

ritaanz

Don't you squash him when you sit down?

joannie

No, my butt hasn't started drooping yet.

Joannie, I'll take down the photo of George Costanza if you will take down... whatever that is.

Tell me if we have a deal.

joannie

Deal. I'll even go first.

Paul in Cannon Beach

I dont see anything... George stays for the time being.

ray a

Joannie, you fell for it.... You should have made Paul go first.

joannie

PICB,
You are a lying weasel. Never again will I trust anything you say.
