Why did you choose your avatar?

[Bill Peckham]

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.

It's me, on the machine. It only made sense.

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!!

It's very much the way I looked back in "the old days" , before I got sick and gained weight!

[Rerun]

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.

[Jill D.]

Mine is of me, last summer. I thought it was more "personal". I think I may change it soon!

[Hawkeye]

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

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.

[goofynina]

   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.

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

[Joe Paul]

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!
