Jeanette... Gee.... how much more explicit can I get in describing myself, huh? Sorta a Zena-Shirley Temple-Stephanie Powers-girl-enxt-door-look-alike! <grinning> Seriously, with all due respect for the fine work Jerry's been doing (is he amazing, or what!) on setting up the PWP Webring, after my being in the online industry for almost 7 years - tho NOT in a techie-position (so I cannot answer anyone's technical questions) I just can't let someone ELSE create MY Web site without ME participating in the creation of same. Despite having a strong background in design (tho in landscape design and super-graphics design), I'm not emotionally prepared to spend the time right now in working - even with someone as talented as Jerry - on creating a Web site. Truthfully, after my former employer, Microsoft, and I parted company I was TOTALLY burned out... in the extreme. Other then posting here on the List, I've backed away from doing ANY online projects (and I've had more invitations to host my own Web site as part of other medical-related sites than ya can shake a stick at 'cause of my experience in the field). I went from 15 hours a day, 7 days a week working online to less than 2 hours a day for List-mail reading/response and that's IT! I've been getting a lot of pressure from assorted enthusiastic List members encouraging me to add a Site to the PWP Webring along with a photo of myself, and while I've mulled over in my mind how I'd design such a site, the bottom line tho is I just don't wanna become involved in the production of a Web site....ANY Web site... yet. As for the photo, heck, I'm not at all shy and am not trying to be mysterious by not posting a photo. Plenty of List members have met me in person when they travel thru the L.A. area. I take great delight in that, by the way - Jane Ross and hubby "ME" and Murray and Brenda Charters being the latest. Heck, there's even been a few List members who've bedded down for a coupla nites on my family room sofa! (much to the concentration of my 2 kitties) <smile> Sooooo... please try to understand where I'm coming from in not participating in the Webring right now. And also in not wanting to post a 5 year old photo of myself that I won at one of those "glamour photo" studios - it ain't the "real me" at ALL! YIKES!! I'm draped in a feather boa, for goodness sake!!! <giggle> I'll do the Web site WITH some photos.... eventually, 'kay? Oh... and any List member passing tho L.A. in the future, DO let's get together 'cause I'd love to meet ya all!

Just scan a photo of yourself, a recent one or that glamour shot you had done awhile back, and send it to the list. No scanner? Let Jerry set up a page for you on the webring.
