Marie The Marine ...

Here I am waaaaaaaaay back when I was a sweet and innocent 21 year old Woman Marine.
Sad to say, since these pictures were taken, I have gained 50 pounds.
I'm so ashamed.

Very nice, marie!     Much nicer than Boy George.  

Don't be ashamed of your weight!  I was just reading that it's all a conspiracy of the manufactures of our food.  They pump growth hormones and other nice things into our food that causes us to want to eat more thus they sell more.  Fight back!  Write to them!  Tell them you won't buy their food until they remove all that stuff!

Buy organic everything.  Range chickens and eggs, etc.

Oh Parris Island....Worst place on earth!  13 weeks of hell that I don't wish on anyone.

Imagine spending 3 YEARS there !!!  But it was an experience.  I learned a lot about people and myself.

Sorry but I couldn't figure out how to add this to the original topic of "Marie the Marine".
I found another picture of me from waaaaaaaaaaaaay back then but it was in really bad shape.
I asked my sister to PhotoShop it for me ...
well , let's just say you can see how much my sister loves me in the end result!

She knows the basics of the game, but doesn't play online.

If you can stand it, here's one more picture of me from when I was in the Marine Corps.
Please keep in mind this picture is about 40 years old.

The feet you see on the bed belong to one of my former bunkies.
Her name was Ruth and she was an Eskimo.
