kalphs Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 This week's question is "What is the significance of your avatar?" Is there a story behind it? Is it a photo which is special to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRAAB Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Elwood P. Dowd is one of my heroes. And if you don't know Elwood Dowd, you need watch the movie Harvey. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 There are a lot of crows where I live. I see murders of 200 or more at sunset, moving off of the water water towers in strings over the park to the trees where they spend the night. I think crows clever, and they learn with age. I'd like to think those of me, too. I think this crow is giving the look Rosie does in her avatar, a sort of head pulled back, attentive, skeptical look. Also, it was the first one I saw that I liked the day I figured out how to make an avatar show up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I switched to a whale tail in support of Bill when he was banned. :) AND I finally finished Moby Dick. :party:It only took me a year. I'll change it again when the mood strikes me, or I'll find a picture with two whale tails when I finish it for the second time :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Elwood P. Dowd is one of my heroes. And if you don't know Elwood Dowd, you need watch the movie Harvey. :) Although I loved this movie as a kid, and when we were growing up my family periodically made references, I watched it not long ago as an adult, and it is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The B&W looks good enough to eat, the humor is sweet, the "meaning" is never obvious, the acting wonderful. If I ever go starkers, I want a pooka, too.

FO4UR Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mine is my dd when we lived in NC. She is playing in a drainage ditch (just rain water...I hope:001_huh:) that my dc imagined to be the Mississippi River, the Nile River or the Yangtze River...depending upon which story we read that day. It's a reminder to me to get off the 'puter and go read to my dc.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialmama Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Several years ago I was in charge of organizing games for a certain women's forum. We had a "pajama party", an online night of games and prizes and live chat. One of the games was a "name the picture" contest and I chose either hilarious or thoughtful pictures. This picture is a tapestry which tells a story, so I thought I'd get some great titles from it. I had it saved to my photobucket acct, so when it came time to choose an avatar for this forum, I thought it fit because I use Tapestry of Grace. Here's a larger scale version of it: Now, just because I found some awesome pics for the game and still have them saved, I have to share them. You will note they would make interesting avatars :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalphs Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 I choose Lucy and the wardrobe for a couple of reasons... 1. I teach literary analysis/apologetics classes on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. 2. This is my favorite scence from the book and the movie "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anneofalamo Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I am a very unflexible person. I like regular and scheduled lives. For me and those around me. Taking on homeschool last year to my brood, I cried and bucked against everything. A woman on another homeschool board in the chat room, told me Anne, you are gonna have to give a bit, be more flexible. I googled flexible, and this popped up...I love it... and I am learning, I can't bend backwards, but I can bend now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephanier.1765 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mine is twofold. #1 is education related as when one piece of learning leads into another piece of learning and then that leads into another piece and so on and so forth. #2 is personal related as when one thing goes wrong it seems everything goes wrong :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fhjmom Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mine is me on my 40th birthday. DS had a much harder time with me turning 40 than I did (he's 3 years younger than me). He was after me to color my hair because my grey made *him* feel old. LOL! I told him to be careful what he asked for and threatened to color it pink. He didn't think I would go through with it, so I had a hot pink streak dyed in the front (and covered the rest with my natural color! :) The pink faded pretty fast and now my grey is back since that was over a year ago, but I think it is a fun pic. THe best of any more recent pic of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
