One blogger already wrote one of my observations: some of them definitely look related. Or could it be that the photog's techniques make then look alike?

Felt I was prying. I can see why the Amish feel photographs steal their souls.

We should tolerate eccentricity in others, almost to the point of lunacy, provided no one else is harmed.

Those are very cool, but what a miserable looking bunch. :lol:

I'm guessing that they didn't smile because of the length of time it took to take - a smile would end up looking like a rictus.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

What a colorful old couple, Dan! You can see so much in their expressions. The old man looks mischievous and his rather younger wife, looks mild-mannered and sweet.

Thanks!

If only you'd warned me too! If it weren't so slow loading it would help - of course my connection is abominable!

He was the third (and final) husband. She did quite well with her 2nd, and brought a tidy sum to the union.
