I'll cuddle with you Tedz/Brenda:) Hugz, Tommy

I won't tell you to sod off, and I never take you serious:) Cool old pics BTW Hugz

Where did you find these cool old pics?? They are great! (ignores your last insult)

Good on You Tommy...I apologies for the Insult...I wuz jest Testing Your Mettle. These Photos...I photographed them hanging in an Old Vegetable Shop about to be Demolished...the Originals are all early New Zealand Shots. The Men holding the Fish...were Faeroe Islanders...early Settlers...I sailed with many... The Chaps in the Bush...came from Old Blighty (England) to Pan for Gold, Dig for the Prized Kauri Gum or Fell Trees. It was a lonely Life for a Settler....as Women were in short supply....all the Babes were picking Strawberries....there was no need to Bath very often....even the Babes didn't bother. Hugz Tommy! What a Guy. Mwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwah!

LOL!! Hey thanks for the look back! Lots of similar history between NZ and the US, my Grandfather came here from Ireland so not many old pics from him, but my Grandmother's family has been here since the late 1600's. Her family has taken old pics since our Civil war to settling the old west. Have a lot of pics that look much like what you posted, I guess pioneers are pioneers wherever you go. See you on the morrow! Tommy

Thanks for saving and showing these wonderful old photos.

Oh don't know how I missed these before! Must've posted them while I was going thru 70 pages of missed gallery images! Wonderful stuff... I love these old shots! I'm the kind of person who'll buy antique photographs of people I don't know at antiques stores and stuff....

A Freak? Me???? Has Cynlee told You something about Me???? It is supposed to be Private ....now everybody will know! Can nothing be kept a Secret on Renderosity? Surely, a Man's Privates are His Own Business....no matter how many Willy's He may have :(

What private parts????? Any smaller and they would be a pimple on your behind!

Kind of like a Ken doll?

Well, You sure are on the Ball , McGruff....ready to Pounce! Yes, Tommy, I do admit that they are small...that is why I have 5 ...this is of no discomfort, whatsoever....and, of course, My Undies Fit like a Glove! I already have a Pimple on My Behind, that is proving most ....er....troublesome....He used to be a Reporter from the Memphis Daily Blab...remember....oh Lowly One....the High Commander Giveth....and the High Commander Taketh Away! Hugz McGruff....er...Peepiola ? Oh yeah ....still reading Playboy and Cappuccino.

Er....Michelle....more like a Bill Doll...yeah...in England they had Bob the Builder Bill Doll...sigh...much better than Buzz Lightyear ....the Ghost of the poor Strawberry Pickers will be shocked! "Oh...look...they have a Battery Powered Strawberry Extractor...soon We will get the Vote"....I only put that in about the vote...for it was NZ, the first to give Woman the chance to Vote in Our Modern World. Have a nice Day ....oh....and I have other Sex Organs too....but not the type You Name Tractors after :)

Oh I see Bob The Builder....he has a big Tool....he uses it to Bang things..... I'm getting interested now....but what's this.....that isn't a tractor in your pants?

PS: No...not a Tractor in my Pants ...this is My Seed Spreader :) I am just a simple Man, a bit of Earth, My Hoe, My Rake and somwhere to Lay Me down. Go to Beddy Bye Bye's. The Sandman is coming:)
