I've never posted a photo, because, quite frankly, the last time I liked a photo of me I was 4 ;D.  I might be inclined to post one if I had a new chapeau however.  How does one get on the list??

Love all the photos and the website, Steve!

It is a rather mysterious process. LisaP has the right idea, though. Mentioning your favorite color regularly seems to help.  ;)

Well since my husband said it would be grand to go to Chicago in August, I may have to claim my 100,000 post hat after all. My favorite color is pink.

Plus I promise to post a picture.

So, Steve.  Is this meant to be a clue?  Is LisaP one of those who has a hat, but hasn't posted a picture yet?

I'm dying of curiosity!

Did Kate B tell you her favorite color?  She was interested in getting on the hat list.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

I'm tickled pink.
I wish I owned a pink Cadillac.
No pink slip this week.
I own a pair of pinking shears.

There's a theme here.

It is quite awful. My oldest daughter had it once and generously shared with mommy. She had it for two days. I had it for two WEEKS, including two courses of antibiotic drops. You know, that would be a very bad thing in an eye that does not blink.

As long as I am not standing under a tree during a pink lightning storm, K.

By the way, I was struck by lightning as a child. Sort of anyway - I was outside with my brother and sister when lightning hit a telephone pole near where we were playing, rolled down the pole in the form of a lightning ball, and knocked the three of us unconscious when it hit the ground. It freaked the neighbor lady out. She thought we all were dead and went running to fetch my mom, who was in the house with my baby brother. By the time she came to the front door, we were all getting up, apparently none the worse for wear.

Explains a lot, huh?
