I picked mine because it reminds me that even if you reach your goal, catch the Frisbee, you still have to care about what happens next. That by the way is my dog and he really can jump and catch a Frisbee. One job I do in the tradeshow business is produce graphics.
So tell me: what about your avatars? Why that pic or image? You guys have some good ones.

Took my son to Nashville and toured the Ryman Auditorium. Thats Big Sluff and Little Sluff only little Sluff ain't so little anymore and Big Sluff ain't so big anymore. ??? Whatever, you get the picture.

Garfield with the BIG STICK, Need I say more??
I also use my cat Ming when things are going pretty good, just to give you all a break from the big stick!
-
Pope John Paul II was one of the most influential people, like, ever. He means a great deal to me. So that's why I chose this avatar. :)
Edit: Oh yeah, it was also in response to that horrible thread about how supposedly Catholics aren't Christians (they ARE, by the way).
-
My children... what more can I say. ;D
-
It's me, on the machine. It only made sense.
The Renalist.

Caught a beautiful rainbow one morning from my patio. Wanted to share it with everyone. Rainbows spell hope!

Well originally it was Woofa my Beagle, then it was Maxwell Smart, now I am in a bit of a Robert De Niro mood.

I have so many that I just keep rotating and I make more but also the last one I used (which I used to make this one) was made by the creative and talented Foxy (http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=1923.0)!! :2thumbsup; :clap; :thumbup;

It's very much the way I looked back in "the old days" :thumbup;, before I got sick and gained weight! :thumbdown;
-
This is how I would "like" to look. I've thought about changing it but I don't want to mess you guys up.
-
I started out with a pic of my cat since it was the only thing I had on my computer at the time. I've switched pics, but still of the same cat.
-
Mine is of me, last summer. I thought it was more "personal". I think I may change it soon!
-
I've always really liked the lightning disk. Watching them change to the beat of the music I was listening to was one thing I used to find relaxing back when I had time to do that kinda thing.

I think that is a great idea! Maybe I will do that again :2thumbsup;

Pope John Paul II was one of the most influential people, like, ever. He means a great deal to me. So that's why I chose this avatar. :)
Me too. Basically he's the reason why I went back to Catholicism after a time of being disenfranchised with the church when I was younger. He was such a charismatic leader and a truly good man, I miss him. I don't agree with everything about the church but he made me feel welcome, like I had a place to go again.

Ya I don't think he can truely be replaced. I miss him too!

My avatar is of me and my hubby, i have great memories of the day we took that pic, we were in a hotel and on our way to go see Prince (awesome) :2thumbsup;
can anyone tell me why there are sometimes when the avatars are there and sometimes (most times) they are not, :-\
-
just thought it was cool :)

:cuddle; He's the main person I have to thank for bringing me to the Church also. I cried for days when he died.

It would mess me up. Seriously. I would never find you. :lol;

I've always loved your avatar susieq! That weird little monkeybrain thing. :rofl;

You have asked me this before goofynina, I really think it's your computer, because I have never noticed that before and I haven't had any other reports of that. It make be your security settings with either your virus program or you browser settings, or what I really think it is... "Your computer hates you". ;)

Don't feel bad Goofynina my computer hates the hubby!

It may be your internet connection.
Due to my living in a one horse town, not all areas had dsl or cable around here.
For a long time I was on dial up because of this and many a time would have trouble with avatars showing up on different sites.
Got cable connection and haven't had trouble with sites since then. ;D
As to my avatar, I stick with Calvin and Hobbs alot because it was the best cartoon in history IMO and I still miss it to this day. :-\

Jon Bon Jovi ! Need I say more!
I did take some really cute pictures of my mom & I at Christmas, and will try load.

I must admit-I hear this song in my head every single day..
Artist: Bon Jovi
Album: Crush
Title: It's My Life
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

No special reason, just thought it was cute.
Meadowlark, Is that the Soup Nazi I see. I'm a huge Seinfeld fan.
No soup for you!

Yes it's the Soup Nazi! I've been watching Seinfeld DVD's the past few days. I can always find something new to laugh at while watching the episodes. :clap; :clap; And the inside stories about the show and the characters are interesting also on the DVD's.

I chose Tweety Bird bc I've always loved him! He looks mean in this one, but it was the only one, so I chose it anyway!
-
Mine makes me feel pretty. I was looking for a new avatar and found a program that would let me make my own animated avatar. This was the 3rd or 4th one I made and it's my favorite. Here are some of the others I made....
-
I picked mine b/c I am a scifi nerd. And if there were a just and magnanimous God, the least he could do is make it so that there was not an 8 month delay between the BBC programmes and American cable. *sigh*
oh, and I take horrid pictures of myself. :)

Are you resisting the temptation to just download them all off the net? So far, I am. . . but it's sooooo tempting! >:D

I am just watching the shows as they are played here, and snatching up the DVD's when they come out. At least Sci-fi is playing the new seasons. Season 3 should be starting soon, but you can catch season 1 and 2 of the new series on BBC America. Downloading them is nice and all, but it's not for me. If I own it I want the real thing. I'll wait to see it on TV like everyone else and then buy them.
-
season 2 should be arriving on my doorstep any day now. so far, am resisting the urge to 'squee' like a crazed fangirl.

This current one is of me, my lil sis and her ex-boyfriend...who are still very good friends.
I see that pic and it makes me smile. I had just bought my digital camera and we were goofing around.
No matter how bad I feel after dialysis. I just have to remember I still have good days and that pic is proof. :D :beer1;
-
I love Futurama (sci-fi + a cartoon), I think it is really clever and I can relate to Fry. Cartoons normally make me feel better.
-
It was the best picture I had of myself.
-
Haha Chicken Little, love it and I loved the movie. ;D
-
i thought it was cute. i've been thinking of posting the grandkids, but i'm still thinking on that one

Over the years my single cherished cup of morning coffee has gotten stronger & stronger until it's like a 1/4 lb of fresh ground beans for one cup and I'm the only one who'll drink it.......hey , if you can only have one cup........
This is what I look like BEFORE I drink it...

This is my Yahoo avatar. I took a bunch of screenshots and put them all together in an Animation maker program. What do you think? I made this pic awhile back when I still had my long hair.

No problem ;) All I did was make the background transparent and use a font to make the url legible ;)

That is a cute avatar with the cat Angie.

Thank you ;) I saw it and HAD to have it so I resized it and uploaded it !! ;)
Incase I change my avatar, here it is for anyone else to use:

I thought since I'm new, it'd be nice to show a picture of myself for a while. This is the only picture I think I have of myself on my system. I'm also ramping up to walk the marathon again in October and hope it will motivate me to keep going. I suspect I'll start swapping my critter pictures in once things calm down at work enough for me to reduce the file sizes on their pictures. They're much cuter than me!

Actually I like it when people put their pics in the avatars!! I think it is such a GREAT idea and I wish all would do that! Makes it sooo easy to picture the person you are conversing with ;) :2thumbsup; :cuddle; :pics;
(btw, I am offline due to anti-virus program not running and having trouble getting a new one installed)
-
Suzieq's avatar is crazy (the 2-legged horse). I can't stop looking at it when she posts!
-
I guess I couldn't think of anything better than me on the machine. I took my previous one off because I figured it might be too much for some people seeing a close up of my permacath with no dressing covering it, and blood flowing through it.

I picked my Avatar because of my Love for Motorcycles and the fact that I hope to ride until my days are done in this life.
Old Bikers never die they just go to hell and regroup.
-
I love animals...I think the ostrich pic is hilarious!! Watching an ostrich run, cracks me up. :rofl;
-

I totally agree, I stare at it the whole time. LOLOL He is missing his butt.
-
Mine just fits the situation in my life right now.
-
I have to go back to Garfield with the stick. School is making me a little crazy! Had to get out the stick this last week and pound on those kids heads they must be quiet in my classroom! Also they must do some work in my room.
-
I picked mine because I recently had a lower leg amputation and this horse motivates me...Boxman
-
I picked mine because it looks like me.
-
I picked mine because it is me!
-
