Ausmumof3 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 OK. That's me. I'll leave it up for 24 hrs, lol. Then I might go back to my saw. This is from a couple of months ago. eta that is very weird, seeing one's face everywhere. I don't like it! Ok you are younger and darker than I imagined and although looks don't matter you are also quite gorgeous... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I shouldn't change my round saw then ?That really threw me, btw. At least now I found this thread and know why you changed it. First Scarlett changed her name, now this. Though, changed avatars are much harder on me. ETA: I see Scarlett changed her name back, but has a new avatar. Girl, what are you trying to do to me?!

And I speak with a stupid southern drawl that makes me cringe when I hear a recording of myself and my children say it gets thicker when I'm discussing cattle, horses, sheep or chickens. It works and includes your name.I confess that I realized a while back that I just assume everyone on here either looks about like me, but with varying hair and eye color, or like my mom. Kinda like a poorly drawn picture book. I realized this when reading a weight loss thread and I thought, "That person doesn't need to lose that much weight!" before I realized I had no way of knowing that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercyA Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Sadie!!! So fun to actually see you! Please don't be offended, but I'll be the third person to say that you look younger than I pictured you. :) I just want to hug all of you now. Is that weird?

Penguin Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Well, I hate all photos of myself so they will not be forthcoming. But I have met several boardies in person, so I am not exactly shy or completely anonymous. I think I need a good penguin avatar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 No you don't. You look mellifluous :) FYI I have standard AU city accent....not the outback kind! No 'g'day mate' from me! I've wondered about AU accents a bit, actually, from watching tv. I feel like I hear three - one really broad (the outback one I think), one sounds upper class British, and one kind of in the middle. I've wondered if that's accurate, or the British sounding ones are actually British people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowlark Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm so glad some of you are posting your pics. So fun to see you all! Ironic that I'm the one who started this thread and I can't for the life of me figure out how to post my picture. I have a recent one saved on my desktop. How do I get it here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegoat Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I do have mental images of people here, often based on their avatar. And I get confused when they change. Everyone sounds Canadian to me. I can't figure out pics here, so I don't know that I'll post - I don't know how I managed to get my avatar up in the first place.

Lady Florida. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I picture people by their avatars even if their avatar isn't a photo of the person. When someone changes their avatar it throws me off. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I hate photographs of me - I'm so not photogenic. I had a hard time finding a picture of me on my hard drive or on facebook. Don't click below if you'd rather keep picturing me as a Shetland Sheepdog. :D Here I am with youngest grandson who's now 3 years old. It was the most recent picture I could find. (Family members have pictures of me but I don't have any myself.) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154943925880447&l=96199b1b57 An older but better photo at dss' wedding (father of above grandson). One of the rare decent photos ever in my life. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10159326787760447&l=676007cf86 Edited October 23, 2017 by Lady Florida. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ok, I have to admit that Sadie looks different than what I imagined. For some reason, I thought you would have blonde hair that was a bit shorter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I form a picture of some people based on their avatars. For example, one poster on here looks exactly like Ethyl Mertz. :P Another bears a striking resemblance to a young Vivien Leigh. I picture some women as men based on the tone of their writing. (Not saying who.) How I look is, I have mixed brown and white hair, a little more than shoulder length; bluish/ hazelish eyes, thick eyebrows and a really long nose. I mean really long. And deep wrinkles between my eyebrows. And dark circles under my eyes. In short, you aren't missing anything by not seeing me. :P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I was so giddy when I got married I posted a link to my wedding pics. Other than that I try to remain anonymous. I do wonder what you all look like. I remember those pictures! You looked giddy with happiness in them! My avatar is my silhouette. I was learning photography back then and learning how to make silhouettes. I used to have an avatar of a barbarian to go with the name of Garga. When I met everyone at our PA meetup, Regguheert was surprised that I wasn't actually 6 feet tall with muscles and a spear. :) I had to get rid of the barbarian avatar when we were told we couldn't use images pulled from the internet. And FWIW, even though I'm very visual, I don't think much about what people look like unless they share their photos. I identify people by their avatars. Change your board name all you like, but leave those avatars alone! I'd like to change my avatar, but whenever I try, my pictures is too big and I also don't want to confuse everyone with a new picture. I don't really like the silhouette because it looks too much like the "your avatar here" picture that is the picture used when you don't add an avatar. Whenever we have a meetup in person, about 10 of us show up. I have two pictures of us at the meetups here: https://dustylizard.wordpress.com/ The first picture you see on that blog is us. Scroll down past my messy schoolroom to see the other picture of us. Edited October 23, 2017 by Garga 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I like your silhouette pic! It was a fun picture to take. What I did was put my hair up in a tight bun for a few hours. I have baby-fine hair, but if I spray it with a little bit of hairspray and put it in a bun, when I take down the bun it will puff out all over the place for a bit. I took a bunch of bun silhouettes and then I took down the bun and took the "undone" pictures. The pictures looked pretty cool side by side--hair up and then hair down.

Rosie_0801 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hmm..there's all kinds, really, depending on where you're from. The middle one you're thinking of is probably pretty standard, with other variations by geography. Some SA pronunciations are more British. The British-Au accent is more of an older accent though. Mark of the upper classes. You'd not expect it in yonger people, unless they actually are British. Plenty of Brits live and work here. Then there's the Woggy accent, lol.
