I'm sure someone knows it. Try asking in the PN worldwide group on Noah and tag Yasser?
I asked once before, but does anyone have an approx PN membership number? Just curious!
It's only a good nickname because I'm skinny haha. And thanks!
Unfortunate and absolutely inappropriate from the images I have seen. I love the Facebook user pic outfit btw. Very Scottish!
Just a nickname I've had all throughout school because of my last name. Kind of stuck!
Is there a story behind "tubby" that can be shared?
I expect that as well haha, that's okay though! There will be pics on fb so you can see it when I get it!
Bummer....I guess I will have to just be patient. Good luck with the class work!
It says "tubby", James :) Have a giraffe on my shoulder, about to get a pine barrens tree frog on my rib cage and a tarantula on my hip ;)
Thanks Hema and James! No more trips until spring unfortunately, maybe something over winter break, we'll see though. Right now I'm stuck in the office writing my thesis for the next few weeks!
Great shots, love image #1. No more travels planned Ashley? Cannot wait to see what you discover on your next adventure!
