Let me start from the beginning.. Tonight I sat down at my pc and logged into Facebook and saw my friend Mel had done another stupid quiz about pet peeves. I thought what the hell and started taking the quiz too. (I am a sucker for idiocy) I started up the pet peeves quiz and wrote in Whining in the little search box… and low and behold a photo of XOE came up.. I jumped up and ran and got the family, dragged them in here and we all had a good laugh..
I was stumped. Who put her face on the word whining, and where did he get the pic? So I googled “whining” in the Google images Yahoo! Images and MSNs Live search and all of these sites came up with Xoe’s image! you know where they got it? From the etling.com server (that does exist any more) back in 2004. That is when it surfaced on the first website, listed below. I am sure there is more out there..
Crazy huh? I grab other folks photos and use them in my blogs etc.. I just never fathomed I would see X on the Atlanta Falcons site, let alone Babble or ClusterStock.com.
Here are a few of the sites I found with Xoe on them..

I will attach some more pics of Xoe in that series and a photo of Xoe now..
When I got your first email asking who the hell gave me permission to post a photo of your kid, I thought you were joking. Now I see that you weren’t. If you want, I’ll take it down, but I have to say it is a classic. She is a beautiful child.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Just give her credit.
We are joking over here about Xoe being the famous pouter and me being the mother of all whining.
