Time Machine – Flamenco Dancer, French Aristocratic Lady, French Royalty

French Royalty (20)

French Aristocratic Lady (33)

French Royalty (33)

The 33 picture version didn't do flamenco dancer.  So there's only one of those.  And the French royalty and aristocrat are mixed up.  But at least I got them all on there.  I don't think they look like me much anyway.

Time Machine – Cowgirl, Edwardian Lady, Egyptian Queen

Cowgirl (20)
Cowgirl (33)

Do I look like Grandma Stone?  :-) Like a couple of the cowgirl images.  Top middle on 20 photo image panel.  To paraphrase Toby Keith, I should've been a cowgirl.  :-)

Edwardian Lady (20) 

Edwardian Lady (33)

I don't think that any of the Edwardian lady images resemble me.  What do you think?

Egyptian Queen (33)

Egyptian Queen (20)

I like the Egyptian Queen images.  Except I think they should have colored my hair black in all of them.  I don't think there were ever any blonde Egyptian queens.

Time Machine – Baroque, Biblical, Celtic

Baroque (20)

Baroque (33)

 I think I mostly resemble the top right image with the off the shoulder burgundy dress in the Baroque 33 images.

Biblical Woman (33)

Biblical Woman (20)

I had high hopes for the biblical woman images.  But, alas, I am sorely disappointed.

Celtic (20)

Celtic (33)


Celtic (33)

Some of the Celtic images are kinda cool.  At least many of them do resemble me.

Time Machine – Arctic Explorer, Art Nouveau, Astronaut, Aviator

Arctic Explorer (20)

Arctic Explorer (33)

 
Art Nouveau (20)

Unfortunately the 33 photo upload did not create nor have the option to create Art Nouveau theme.  :-(

I think I look most like the bottom left with the K in the upper corner.  What do you think?

Astronaut (20)

Astronaut (33)

Looks like on the astronaut once they mostly just took my photos and put them in astronaut suits.  Some of them are kind of wonky though.

Aviator (33)

Aviator (33)

I like the old time aviator Amelia Earhart look.  But once again, it looks like they just dressed my photos.  Still cool.

Next up – Baroque, Biblical, Celtic

Time Machine – Frontier, Pioneer, Ancient Greek

American Frontier (33)

American Frontier (20)
 

American Pioneer (33)

American Pioneer (20)

Ancient Greek (33)

Ancient Greek (20)

I was hoping the American Pioneer And American Frontier images would be better.  My favorite of this group is the Ancient Greek.  I think the one that resembles me most is Ancient Greek 20 – the two top right images.  I also like the middle image on the left.

Next post will be Arctic Explorer, Art Nouveau, Astronaut, and Aviator.

MyHeritage AI Time Machine 1970s

1970s Hairstyle (20)

1970s Hairstyle (33)

Honestly, these hairstyles aren't much different than my normal hairstyle from the photos I submitted.  Love the 70s style!  Where's the Farrah Fawcett feathered look?

1970s Hippie (33)

1970s Hippie (20)

These hippie images look more like 1960s flower child to me.

1970s (20)

1970s (33)

I'm thoroughly disappointed in their 1970s images.  They don't look like me and they're not 1970s.  They are more 1960s.  Which makes me sad because the 1970s is my favorite era for fashion.

Next posts will be different themes in alphabetical order.

Unbelievable!

This is a first for me, three posts in one day!  But I just have to say something.  Towards the end of Mom's life her favorite word became, "unbelievable".  If she was in our Relief Society class today, she certainly would have uttered that word.  Lisa and I certainly uttered it several times on our way home from church.

Whatever happened to people being reverent in church and being respectful in God's house?  As a child and youth I was always taught to be reverent at church.  I was taught that the church is God's house and we need to respect Him in His house.  As a child that meant folding arms, bowing head, walking slowly, speaking quietly, wearing your Sunday best, showing basic respect.

Over the decades I've noticed casualness creeping into worship services in church. For a lot of people Sunday best has become casual; denim, flip-flops, etc. Church hallways are loud and boisterous with kids running around.  Even the old ladies in Relief Society are not as reverent as they once were.  

I've been in Relief Society for 34 years now.  And I've been in the church for over half a century.  And I've been to church every week for all those years.  I've never before experienced what happened today.

Ironically, the Relief Society lesson was about finding rest from the world.  The teacher asked a question – which I can't even remember what it was at this point – but a sister sitting in the back casually doing some kind of embroidery or cross-stitch raised her hand.  

When called upon she proceeded to tell all of us that she doesn't like people and we creep her out.  And she said she was sitting there listening to all of the comments being made and doesn't buy all of the BS.  Except she used the entire profanity.  In church!  My heart leapt into my throat and I was shocked.  

She then went on some rant for 10 minutes about how she homeschools her kids and detailed some experiment they did with the metamorphosis of monarch butterflies.  I don't know what her point was.  But I do know that she disrespected God in His own house and offended me and probably every other sister in the room.

If others weren't offended, they should have been.  I don't get offended easily, but profanity – especially in God's house!  – offends me.  Not much shocks me anymore, but that did.  I was not expecting to be accosted with profanity at church.

Ironically the lesson was about finding rest from the world when that sister brought the world into church.  I go to church as a refuge from the world.   Today, instead of refuge, I was bombarded with the world.

Today, I was going to make my first comment in Relief Society in 34 years but didn't get called on. Then, another sister said basically what I was going to say so I didn't feel the need to speak after that.

Mortality is becoming more and more surreal.  Even in the church.  I mean even most people who have gone apostate and no longer attend church or believe it's doctrines would have enough respect to not profane in church.

It's the last days.  These are crazy times we are living in.  Chaos and evil surround us.  Now, we can't even seek refuge at church without being accosted with profanity.  As Mom would say, "Unbelievable!".

Unbelievable indeed.

That's my two cents.

MyHeritage AI Time Machine 1950s

1950s Chic (33)

1950s Chic (20)

I like to think that I was chic in my younger years.  These are my favorite images from the 1950s set.  The others are kind of weird.  But I do think it would've been a good looking 1950s chic woman.  :-) I like dressing up.
 

1950s Illustration (33)

Again you can see the remnants of the Superman logo on some of these photos.  Weird.  And what's up with the heads cut off some of the images?

These don't really look like a 1950s era photos to me.

Next post will be 1970s. (I don't know why they don't have the 1960s.)

MyHeritage AI Time Machine 1940s

1940s Glamour Girl (20)

1940s Glamour Girl (33)

 The bottom left photo is all distorted.  In the top left photo shows my superman emblem from my Superman shirt photo.  Kind of weird how they blend things.  I think I may have iinadvertently included a photo were I was sitting on some rocks.  So the AI distorted that photo to look like the one where I was sitting on the rocks perhaps.  Kinda crazy.

1940s (33)

I don't think any of these really look like me at all.  My favorite one, that I think looks like me the most, is the top right on the first panel – pink side view.  What do you think?

Next post will be 1950s.
