Thanks to everyone who responded. You all were a big help.

Judy: I liked your profile. It think it's great, and yes, you did help me a lot.

Jennie: I took your advice and I checked out the OLD site.

I find this whole thing very intimidating and scary, although I admit, I'm probably making a bigger deal about it then I should.

I don't have a problem sending pictures. But I do need more advice. I have two very nice pictures; one a full-length shot that was taken in March at a wedding and I am in formal dress; the other is a backyard picture taken by a professional photographer. They are my best two pictures, and I get a lot of compliments on them. Problem is, both pictures have my kids in them. So, do I send those pictures, or use those pictures but have the kids cropped out, or do I choose another picture. Don't get me wrong -- I do not intend to lie about my kids. I never have before, and I won't start now. I just didn't know if it was ok to send that kind of a picture. When I was surfing this weekend, there were a few guys who had pictures with their kids. It didn't bother me at all. In fact, this one in particular, I thought was kind of neat. The man was good looking and he took a picture with his son at a basketball game. Personally, I think it's kind of cool -- but, like I said, I am new to this whole thing. So, please, tell me what you think.

To be honest, the OLD board is a bit intimidating for me. I would rather come up with a profile and test it out on you guys, if that's ok with you. You are like family to me, and I know I will get great advice here. I'm working on it right now, and I hope to have it done by tonight or tomorrow, and I will post it when I'm finished.

Thanks.

I would make every attempt to crop the kids out. Do you have a way to do that? For some reason it just bothers me to put a pic of my kid on the internet.

OF COURSE we will help you with your profile - anytime!!

Keep us posted!!
