hsmom3tn Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My most favoritest candies in the whole world - Tootsie Fruit Rolls. I could sit and eat a whole bag at a time if someone doesn't stop me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate in Arabia Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mine is a photo we took last year in Cairo of the signboard of a local school named after the Mamluk Sultana Shajara al-Durr. I thought it was awesome they had a girls' school named after her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mine is how I pretty much feel about the home education life and family life in general.

nmoira Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mine is from Le Voyage dans la Lune. Watching it again after so long, I'm struck by how similar the dusting of the Selenites is to that in Buffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyomarie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mine is a Japanese Kanji character for "grace" and is used in the Bible to refer to God's grace. We lived in Tokyo from 1989-2000 & even now, Japan still feels like my second home. When I see this character on my avatar, it reminds me to be mindful of the incredible blessings God has bestowed upon me through his infinite grace.

Doran Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My avatar came into being during a particularly momentous time on this board, well over a year ago. A new term was coined, thanks to the wit and wisdom of women like Amy Loves Bud and Nicole M, while a whole bunch of women, and a few men, had a discussion that many thought they'd never, ever have, and certainly not on a homeschool discussion board. America was in the final months of its Presidential campaign, and tensions here ran as high as they did across the nation. My avatar seemed an appropriate way to cement the tenor of the times and to remind me, again and again, just how much can be accomplished over a good cup of tea.

elizabeth Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Iowa is known for its squirrels particularly the black ones. Although this squirrel plans ahead meticulously often years ahead she still can rock a tiara when the situation calls for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It's a photo of me in action. Or not. On the old board I was known as threelops (I changed my name shortly before we switched formats). I googled Judo rabbits looking for an avatar, and this friendly little fellow popped up. So instead of a Judo rabbit, I settled for a karate guinea pig.

Carrie12345 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 We're the Keatons! We're a couple of quasi-hippies, ds is the straight-laced (probable Republican) oldest kid, my girls are a mash up of Mallory and Jennifer (fashion *and* sports, lol), and ds#2 is our little afterthought. Dh is graying, I'm usually a (bottle) blonde, ds has brown hair, dd#1 has dark brown hair, and the youngest two are both blondies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) ETA: As soon as I comment, I changed mine. It is now in celebration of the release of Boondock Saints 2. The lion shall return sometime after St. Patrick's Day. ;) Mine is way I feel on most days. Hiding because I've had one of those V8 moments, covering my eyes because I'd rather have a nap during the day, or the gesture of astonishment about what rabbit hole (lion hole perhaps?) my ds has decided to go down at the moment.

dtb1999 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My avatar is Stan, Dorothy's ex-husband, from the Golden Girls.

stormy weather Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mine is of the Mom and kids form Dexter's Lab. While I was lurking, reading through posts I couldn't for the life of me figure out what a dd, dh or ds was. When I finally did catch on I thought of Dee-Dee from Dexter's Lab, and how my kids are rather like Dee-Dee and Dexter. Sort of arch-nemisis'(sorry if I killed any kittys with that apostrophe). I have red hair and am sometimes lost in my own world like the mom. I did have to edit out the dad, because I am, alas, unmarried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evergreen State Sue Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm pretty shy about putting my picture or family pictures up so I opted for a tree to go with my name.

Wyndie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 First time my name was ever used was in Peter Pan so it seemed fitting. Although my name spelling is nothing at all like Wendy, I still tell my kids I am THE original Wendy. :D And Sis, I knew what your avatar was. My son is a big Green Lantern fan. ;) There are others that I have enjoyed seeing the meaning of b/c I couldn't really tell what the pic was until the explanation was given.

Chris in VA Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Oh Kids and Mrs. Mungo, pls don't change your avatars! Like "someone" told me recently, they are like your faces! (Ok, they are your faces, but ykwim!):lol: Mine was given to me by Laura in VA. I used to watch Monty Python with my dad when I was in high school and college. It's from a scene in Holy Grail where the knight is fighting and gets all his limbs cut off, then insists on keeping going, saying, "It's just a flesh wound!" I've never equated that with my life, but it's strangely appropriate! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great to see you toast one to us all... lol ;) BTW, mine is due to my Mexican-American heritage, my maternal family is from Texas (Tejans since its early days of Mexico owning the land), I now live in TX, and I love good Mexican-American food. Haven't found such a place up here north of Dallas... but one can hope. I still think So CA, AZ, and NM rank high with great Mexican-American food. *SIGH* :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My kiddos from a trip we took to London a couple years ago.

specialmama Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I chose my tapestry pic for 2 reasons. The first is because I use Tapestry of Grace. Second, I love the movie The Prince of Egypt, and the meaning of the song that Tzipora's father Jethro sings to Moses about your life being like a thread. You may not see the point of it all, but if you take a step back you'll see the grand design: an amazing tapestry which would not have been possible without your thread. Love that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerdingCats Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Mine is a picture of one of the nature trails in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial forest, an old growth forest we visited last spring.

hornblower Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I just changed mine. It's Horatio Hornblower as played by Ioan Gruffudd.
