Avatar's, Keeping things simple

Jules, I've seen your picture! The little guy is cute, but you look nice too! Don't put yourself down!

Dreamer there were times that by the time kids got done with Martial Arts in the evenings and driving back to Annapolis from Baltimore we would stop and get something to eat at a Hamburger place...made me wonder if kids eating that late at night was any better for them...and then we'd get home and I'd head them to bath and then bed...god forgive them if they had homework too.

It brings back memories here! Good days are here for you! Remember this converstion in years ahead...these are really good times. Even as hectic as they are right now...I do miss them terribly...and I miss the kids...all in college and not here now...boo hoo! No one to skateboard with, pooie!

3Ravens, Thanks ! I think though that there is a certain resemblence in that constantly puzzled look.
My wee troll has become part of me (even tried to get it on my phone but my technophobia came to call again ).I just cant think of myself as one of those glamourous people in the very beautiful atavars.Guess its a Glaswegian thing!

OK Jules, I'll grant you the puzzled look. I feel that way a lot myself!

Tartangirl that's exactly why I didn't pick the Avatar for myself...I let the people who work with me pick it...if I'd done it I would have gone for goofy...but they didn't like the ones I picked...they though it should show what you look like...I thought it should represent your personality...

That's me, class clown!

Annabelle

We love ya anyway, Sis...life is exciting with you around!

Annabelle,

We do the hamburger stint, too, when my husband teaches his evening class. The girls bring their homework along and do it after we've eaten. At first we got some strange looks from people, but lately I've seen several families doing the same thing. We all smile at each other-it just makes things so much easier sometimes! If the girls are really quick, and don't have any problems to work out, then we may have time to head to the Mall for windowshopping before picking my husband up after class. It's become a sort of girls' night for us.

I'm sorry that yours are all away now. Are they near enough to come home on weekends sometimes? Remind them of those days and see if they understand how precious time together is. What are their interests now? What are they all studying? I know it goes fast! Sometimes I wonder, if we had the power to slow their childhood down so that they stayed children and didn't change, would we do it? It's so hard to watch them grow up in such a hurry, knowing all the responsibility, etc, that's just waiting around the corner for them. Would you do it?
(Think of Tuck Everlasting).

Ah well. I've got to get mine heading to bed.
Take care!

Well, my kids are now the parents and I'm trying to slow down my childhood the best I can...

I thought that my Avatar should represent my personality and I was fortunate enough to be able to include the ones I love. My wife took the picture and Leopold is as close to a child (the meow boy) as we have besides our poodle. Besides that I do have the same hair color even if mine comes out of a bottle and we do bear a family resemblence. after all I was raised by cats.

Well hello dear Friends, Hope every one is practising safe avatar!
I have to say That if there isa way to "LOCK" the ava's then it should be considered as a formal way of siging a doc. I really like the Idea actually
(hmmm, I wonder how many would shoot me if I changed my ava?)

With love and Giggles,

No, no prob....but I think ye are right,
we are using the same one. .......*lol*, j-king.

I would like to keep it, if possible, since I had the pic added so I would be able to use it.

Since I had someone else's avatar I thought I would change mine. I picked my fav Boris Vallejo picture. A redhead of course because that's what I am. I hope this meets everyone's approval.

Liriel

Liriel, don't get upset, I think someone is using that one....

sorry to tell ya...

Annabelle

I'm not relinquishing my Elspeth avatar, but thought it would be fun for today to invert my age. Yep, 24, not 42. Don't worry, I'll return to normal with the stroke of midnight and turn back into a pumpkin.

Look at you !!!
That is really sweet Elspeth ..

In Service to the Dream,
Paula
