Julie Shane says:LOVE IT!
The sea glass crystals, those adorable buttons, and some soft ribbon.
Let’s see… surfer Ken doll… surfer Sponge Bob trinket…
If by chance you have cute surfer dudes in the Carolinas, send one to me. Our Florida surfer dudes are all old and retired.

Medieval Momma says:lovely pick, Deb!

Stone Treasures says:Love the sea glass in this pick!

Deb Harding says:Julie there are lots of cute surfer dudes here. Most tooooo young of course. But actually a guy I know just rode a beach bike from NC to FLA. And while he is retired I’m sure he can leave most of the youngsters in the dust. Most navy seals never get out of shape.
Thank you eveshape.

Deb Harding says:OMG WHAT DOES EVESHAPE MEAN???? I swear this keyboard types what it wants sometimes. It especially aggravates me.when I have looked in this box and HAVE SEEN the correct word typed in!!!!!

Thank you also.

Asia says:Good luck with that, Deb
, like your idea straight from a horror movie
On Dec 31, 2012 at 6:29 pm #
Deb Harding says:No seriously I am repurposing a surfer. And a surfboard.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 6:38 pm #
Asia says:Deb, formaldehyde will help you with the decay, but the smell is awful, mind you nobody will smell that in the picture so you might be o’key with that, still wishing you good luck
On Dec 31, 2012 at 6:45 pm #
Deb Harding says:LMAO OH BOY….thanks for.the big laugh!! I busted out. Thank heavens I hadn’t just taken a swallow of coke.

puppychick labratbecky says:Deb, Julie, and Asia, you gave me the WORST mental picture just now.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 6:49 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:Shriveled old dude, bent over and clinging to a board, flat rear end, trunks hanging off…. ewwwwww
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:21 pm #
Deb Harding says:LMAO NOW…ewwww that is not a good mental image at all.
Here’s the thing, most guys my age that still surf look at least 10 years or more younger than their age.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:23 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:Washboard abs look good at any age…
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:28 pm #
Julie Shane says:I knew it!!! All the “good” old surfer dudes are in the Carolinas. The ones here in Florida look JUST LIKE Becky’s description. Don’t forget the 1960s van! We have a couple of those kicking around the county.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:29 pm #
Julie Shane says:Washboard abs DO look good at any age. But the school board frowns upon us old lady teachers playing with the washboard abs! HA HA!!! But it does happen… EWWWWW!!!!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:32 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:LOL!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:47 pm #
Deb Harding says:Well there’s nothing wrong with a little cougarism occasionally…as long as he’s not tooo young.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:49 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:Cougarism. Excellent word!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:50 pm #
Deb Harding says:Its sad that Florida has washed up older surfers. I’m sure mu 1st husband still looka good and he’s 59.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 7:51 pm #
Deb Harding says:I thought so too. LOL!

Elis Mom says:One of the docs I work with has washboard abs, and he’s almost 70! Competes in body building. He has a pic of himself in a pose on mousepad….It’s a pic I just CAN’T erase from my head!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:09 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:LOL! I can’t decide if that is good or bad!!!! Narcissistic at 70?? hmmmmmmm
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:09 pm #
Deb Harding says:Whoa Susie!! Hey if you take care of.yourself you can still look pretty darn good.
Got another word for.you Becky Outsourcesistan…the country where all the jobs are going.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:12 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:hahahahahahahaha!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:13 pm #
Elis Mom says:Well, he HAS won some of the competitions when he had to compete with 40 year olds and up…and he has a girlfriend less than half his age! Must be doing SOMETHING right!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:17 pm #
Deb Harding says:That’s my goal. To.be.a hott hott 70 year old. HaHaHa
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:18 pm #
puppychick labratbecky says:Reverse cougarism.
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:36 pm #
Elis Mom says:I wouldn’t say he’s hot….but he’s got somethin’ goin’ on!
On Dec 31, 2012 at 8:37 pm #
