I love cats and I love SpongeBob and Gary is SpongeBob's cat..... well, snail cat......Meow
some people change the avatar thing and that is cool but why?
if I did not spell avatar correctly, please correct me
-
I don't have an avatar; I have my real true picture. Frankly, I wish more people would post their pics, cuz going through that one posting trying to figure out who everyone is, well, that's just a pain in the :sir ken; It has 68 pages!
-
when i first joined i used a penguin, cause i thought he was cute. but then i decided i wanted to show off the dumplings, and i had such cute pictures. i change them cause they keep growing!
-
I get sick of looking at the same one all the time so I switch them around. Maybe I just have a short attention span.
-
I do not know how to place real photos on the avatar or the post for that matter
you are too smart
Monrein :2thumbsup;
-
Same here twirl.
It takes me forever to figure out how to re-size pictures and post them.
I picked the rubber duck from the choices given when you sign up. A rubber duck was the one of the first gifts my husband gave me way back when becasue I told him I liked to take baths. I still have it and it's 28 yrs old now.
-
I have had a few different avatars but couldn't decide on one. I have the one I use now because of the Any More Brits Out There On Dialysis thread.
-
:rofl; :rofl; My favorite thread!!
-
My avatar is my two Yorkies. :flower;
When I found out about my kidney disease, had to go on dialysis, or my transplant wasn't working sometimes the only reason I would get up on a morning I didn't have to work was to feed my cat, let the dogs out, or play with a whining Schnappi. My pets keep me sane. I do not have kids so they are my kid substitutes -- or so my sister says. So pet pictures are everywhere -- my desk at school, my myspace, my dining room, my classroom and IHD!
-
I love my pets, children or no children-- my children used to say I loved my cat more than I loved them---- I told them if they wanted to drink out of the toilet and use kitty litter and eat canned tuna (cheap tuna) go ahead---ha ha ha - and children or no children I was always so attacked to my students - they would say to me I must be a awesome mom and I know what it is like to have the worse child in school--- we could trade stories I am sure----- one student had to rub a rock everytime he heard thunder or rain and all of his assignments had to be where he could answer making pop-out books--usually I got the more violent ones b/c I have a way of getting on with these students--- once you are known as that kind of a teacher - you really get it........ cheryl
you are still shark bait
-
They are my "puppies" and I think they are extremely cute!
-
The wave avatar is my favorite - I spend all my time around water, but I went ahead and put a pic of me and Stephen up for a change.
-
Just before I saw this thread, I was looking at my avatar and thinking 'How could I ever change this?' The answer is that I will only change it, if it is put up as part of the site, where they can always be seen.
-
I love changing my picture... I have many many pics, thats why I like facebook also, it gives me a place to show off my pictures...
bajanne2000 I think thats a great idea
-
My avatar is my new baby girl. I will have to change it soon as she is getting bigger now and she is looking very different. My other two babies are getting jealous so I might have to put a pic of all three up on the site. x
-
I'm lazy and I think Tigger is very photogenic, so I grabbed a picture I used to make calendars for friends a few years ago & called it good!
-
I change mine because I'm bored with the one I have up and don'tlike having my picture up. I just have to many on my pc, but I like animated ones the best. I really really need more of those, but been to lazy to search for them on websites.
-
It's my baby! I can't legally show his face yet (he's not legally adopted YET), but this is a picture from his last Cross Country Meet. He did great!
-
As an amputee I thought the determination of the horse fit for me. I actually don't really look like him...Boxman
-
I think you look him
tall dark and handsome :cheer:
-
I never change mine. Jenna is my reason for being here (plus I love this photo of her!)
-
I would have a hard time changing mine. It is our team logo for the kidney walk and it honors goofynina.
-
AND, Paris, I think of you daily since I have an Eiffel Tower key ring on the zipper tab of my handbag. It is silver, about an inch and a half long and looks just like your avatar but without ribbon or tiara. Makes opening and closing my purse so much easier, especially on D.
-

I still get a smile on my face every time I look at that photo of Jenna!
-
I picked mine on the fly, looking through my saved pics. It actually does look a bit like me...and Friday is Hawaiian shirt day.
-
Ok, I know that no one has posted in this thread for a while, but more than one person has asked so here it is. When I started home dialysis, by daughter was asking questions and one she asked was why the tube ran into the sink from my NxStage machine. I told her that was dialysis fluid waist and my fluid waist. She said “so you are peeing in the sink”, she is so smart.
I like the idea of being able to see members and agree that the 88 page member’s photo post is a little long. I wish we could click on someone’s name and go to their profile and see a picture there.

I love that photo, it makes me smile every time I see it, so glad you won't change it. Mine is boring, I'm Rose and it's a rose!!
-
I love your photo Rose, it's not at all boring. I love roses I think they are one of our best flowers and some of them smell wonderful. When we moved into this new bungalow there where at least 20 different type roses here I had to take a picture of every one of them for an old lady friend of mine back home.
I often change our photo the one at the moment is of John and I when we first got together and had a holiday in Torquay. This was a photo taken in the stocks in Cockington. Yvonne
-
Yvonne, I love seeing all the pictures of you and John.
Mine is the Eiffel Tower as a nod to my screen name (and my favorite city) and the tiara honors our own Goofynina (our IHD princess) and the green ribbon for organ donation. AlohaBeth designed it for our kidney walk team. Not sure if I could ever change it now.
Dan, I love the sink and your daughters statement!

The photos are shown on the profile of members (their chosen avatar anyway!)

I love my avatar, Buster has helped me get through #@@$ kidney disease every day, he gets me off my butt, we walk all the time, and when I am down he brings me up...
Have I ever told you all I love ma dog!
xxooxxoo
-
I should probably change the picture in my avatar since that one is getting a little old. It was taken when my hubby and I were up in Milwaukee seeing the Cubs clobber the Brewers about 4 years ago. I always seem to take my best pictures when I've got a little alcohol in me. And that's usually the only time I'll let someone take a pic of me. I hate having pictures taken because unfortunately I actually look like the person in the picture! Pictures add about 20 or 30 lbs to you, don't they? Even if they don't, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
-
I am a little late on this, but I just changed mine. And manly just cause I change a lot. Mood and all. Its like my music and stuff on my myspace. I change it all the time. I feel like I need to show people every side of me there is and theres lots! *smile* So yeah that is why I change mine.

I've not been around IHD too long and I don't know much about any of the people -- other than a few who've been kind enough to chat with me. Recently people were discussing their avitars. I didn't have one. I asked why you did them (and what exactly an Avitor is). Someone told me to find a little figure that looked a little like myself. The next day in regards to a post someone called me a SMART ASS...I thought this would explain me as well as most things. That's why...
-
Well how many times do you see an ass in a museum? :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Of course they would have to be a smart ass! :rofl; :rofl;
-
I love your's Chris, because it looks just like you!
dwcrawford, You picked a good one. Love it! See you in the chat room!! :grouphug;

-

-
I love Twirl's twirler!
-
I changed mine because I just think my baby is really cute. All mother's think that about their own children though!!
-
Lucinda that is an adorable little puppy!
I change my avatar because I have so many pictures of my husband- he is the love of my life- and I just want to share a tiny bit of who he was- its my way of talking about him a little- without boring people to tears- plus it makes me happy.. :)
-
Glitter, I love seeing new pictures of Jack. I look forward to them. Thank you for sharing Jack with us. :cuddle;
-
My avatar is a picture of my brother's restored 57 Chevrolet pickup. Since his daughter figured out that the pickup and I were born in the same year it has been a family joke.
-
I wonder if I can find Garfield with phaser.
-
hey teach, do you mean taser :clap;

:rofl; :rofl; :rofl; It was a Star Trek flashback I was having.
