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;

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.
