My dad just visited to drop off Corey's birthday card. Neighbours was on the tv, and a scene came on where a girl was taking off a guy's shirt. Dad told me that I shouldn't be watching things like that. All I could think was, if only you knew.

And laughing at this helps distract me from the anger that his speech is terrible at the moment and apparently the Parkinson's group he's been waiting to hear from before Christmas has been cancelled and no one thought to tell him until he asked why his place hadn't be assigned yet.

Other stuff now.

For a while ephemera_pop has been suggesting a website that shows what the members of Nsync looked like on specific dates. Eg. In March of 1999 Chris looked like this. *shows picture of Chris*

I think that's a cool idea, and I've decided to run with it. But, we're talking around 10 years, 12 months each , 5 guys, and that's a lot of pictures. So, any volunteers to help? What I'd need is for you to take a year and a guy, and send me clear pictures from each month of that year.

For example. Justin in 2003. You'd go off and research, then send me the pics. I'd upload them to the webpage, and hopefully it'll help someone who one day needs to know what hairstyle Justin had in March 2003.

Does that make sense?

ETA: Down and dirty example here

I think it's awesome. And tat you're crazed for taking it on, but yay!

Grrrr on the people who were supposed to get your dad settled.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I think I'm crazy too, but what can I say? Pictures are fun ;)

I was so mad when he told me about his group. Listening to him talk is frustrating, I can't even imagine what it must be like for him.

One for BSB as well? I have god knows how many people asking me when AJ got a specific tattoo.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not. Though my BSB picture collection is nothing compared to the Nsync one, so I'd totally be hitting you up for pics.

[ephemera-pop.livejournal.com]

Absolutely for BSB as well - in fact, back when I was starting out I found someone's 'rise and fall of the hottness of Chris' page which roughly worked as an nsync chronological gallery, but I *still* don't know well which looks were which period for the Boys, let alone which looks they were sporting when joey had the red hair, sort of cross-referencing.

And I can probably start work on Joey - working backwards from now?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have to agree, I often get lost in exact dates for BSB, so something like this would help me too.

And if you could take Joey that would be fabulous. I've just thrown up a down and dirty page at my site, messing around with layouts etc. So it should be a go.

[luxshine.livejournal.com]

I think a BSB would be a lot of help, especially regarding AJ and his multiple tattoos. Not only for fanfic, but also for fanart.

Dad told me that I shouldn't be watching things like that

Lol That's so sweet! Bless :-)

My father's reaction would have been 'so what dirty thing are you watching now?' Because apparently it's a well known fact in the family that I like dirty and kinky things. Go figure *g*

Man, this sucks! How come no-one fucking thought of telling him? Hope he'll find another group soon *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Because apparently it's a well known fact in the family that I like dirty and kinky things. Go figure *g*

I wonder why? *g*

I think my dad's hair would turn grey if he knew what I get up to online. He's very much of the opinion that I'm still a kid, one that's never heard of sex even.

It just pisses me off you know? He was so hopeful that the therapy would help, and he's been waiting since before Christmas. The least they could have done is tell him the group had been cancelled. *hugs back* Thanks, sis.

[callsigns.livejournal.com]

Dude, wtf about your dad? That's crazy.

That's an amazing, ambitious project! I think I'd like to help out; I'd certainly love to pimp this in my LJ. Is that kosher?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really is. I'm just so pissed they didn't even contact him.

If you could help that would be great, but man, a pimp would be fantastic. A project of this size needs to be comprehensive to be fully useful, and faced with work like that, I'll take any help I can get. I'm lazy like that *g*

The website sounds like an awesomely useful resource.

People seem to be really good at ignoring the needs of the elderly disabled. I grumble, because I'm not impressed with the nurses who're 'looking after' my father. :-(

[turps33.livejournal.com]

The website sounds like an awesomely useful resource.

I thought so when A first mentioned it. Now it's a case of getting it off the ground.

You'd think in this age we'd have a medical system that actually cared for people. And we just don't. There's a lot of great doctors/nurses etc out there, but they're balanced by the ones that don't give a damn. It would have taken one call to tell dad that the group had been cancelled. Instead he had to go find out himself. And now he's left waiting, hoping someone else can help him. So bloody annoying.

[luxshine.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea! And I'd volunteer for Chris -got all the old *n Sync picture archive somewhere in my other hd- but I'm crap at figuring out the months.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's the months that are the problem, but I reckon we can figure it out between all us fangirls.

Thanks so much for volunteering. I think what I'll do is just add the months people are sure about at first, then we can take it from there.

[cardalia.livejournal.com]

I think the picture website is a great idea. I'd love to help but I don't know if there's much I can do (zero pics saved!). So consider me as an enthusiastic cheerleader. :) But if your flist doesn't bring enough volunteers, then I think mentioning it in the newsletter will.

That's such a crappy thing they did to your dad, I'm so sorry.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You have no pics saved? So wrong! ;)

I'll manage to rustle up the volunteers somehow I'm sure. Just keep harassing people enough and they'll give in *g*

[cardalia.livejournal.com]

You have no pics saved? So wrong! ;)

Yeah, I know! I'm strating to collect some, though. *g*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Want me to burn everything I have to DVD and send it to you? It's around 2.2GB of Backstreet and 3.6GB of Nsync.

[cardalia.livejournal.com]

That would be incredibly awesome! I'd LOVE to have your photo collection.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

I'll try to remember to burn it next week. If I haven't said anything about by Wednesday please remind me :-)

[cardalia.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you so much!

[rikes]

I'm not sure if my pictures are organized well enough for that, but I'll help any way I can!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Mine aren't either *g*

But thanks for the offer of help :)

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

The thing about your dad makes me so sad and angry! People work hard their whole lives and then when they get elderly and sickly society prefers to forget about them, grrrr!!!!

This idea of yours sounds fabulous, and I agree with JM and others that a BSB site would also be needed, but I think you/we should concentrate on doing one thing at a time. It's better to get one site actually finished than to have two perpetually unfinished ones. I'm of course prepared to help out with Lance, which should come as no suprise :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

People work hard their whole lives and then when they get elderly and sickly society prefers to forget about them, grrrr!!!!

You and me both. Dad spent his whole life working hard, saving people from fires, and now he's older he's left to pretty much physically break down without any help. Seeing him struggle for words is heart-breaking.

You're right, it's a much better idea to do one group at a time. It's going to be a big job, and doing too much at once means there's more chance of it failing.

Help with Lance pics would be fantastic. I'm thinking we can get all the month/years we know for certain filled in first, then go from there for the rest.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

I suspect Cressy's Nsync chronology will see heavy use in the near future :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's going to be getting hit by me for sure.

[lemniskate.livejournal.com]

you could take a look through the nsync gallery I run; it's allen_sama's old site -- http://www.sweeteyedelight.com/gallery/index.html -- she made most of the categories, and it's not up to date, but a lot of the older stuff is organized by year, especially in the random and miscellaneous directories.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Your site is one of my favourites, so I'll be using it for sure.

I can see it being a huge help.

[lemniskate.livejournal.com]

might be more help now that I went to take a look and realised that some how most of the group directories and the joey ones weren't there -- I uploaded them last night and it's all a lot more complete now ;) Oops!

That just proves that parents ALWAYS think of their children as just that... children :)

*hugs* on the other part, too. My grandfather had Parkinson's and it's such a hard thing to watch happening.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That just proves that parents ALWAYS think of their children as just that... children :)

It really does, because he wasn't joking. I'm just glad he has no computer skills at all, because man...

Parkinson's is a horrible thing. Watching him go downhill and not be able to do anything is frustrating. *hugs back*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

That really sucks about your dad. the government here is doing cut-backs on a lot of services and things for those generations, and man. I just can't believe it, you know?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It does suck. It seems certain people the world over get a raw deal, and it's just not on.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

it really isn't. I'm just thinking, these people who make these laws, do they think they aren't going to get older themselves?

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

I can totally take care of the JC side of things if you want me to. Our gallery has dates listed for all the events he's ever attended so should be a piece of cake *g*. Just let me know.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

OMG! It's about time you offered! I thought I was going to have to ask or something! ;)

Thanks, *smooch*
