jamnkats Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 if the picture is the picture of a person, is it yourself or a family member or even a photo you took? I recently realized a particular poster's avatar was actually an actress (which I suppose, shows my ignorance of American culture :)).

Tami Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I love avatars that show the actual poster instead of a cartoon or movie personality. I guess I like to know who I am talking to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebeccaS Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am in my avatar, along with my four kids. I wasn't sure which choice to put, for that reason. I did choose it was me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanestMomInMidwest Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 No, my avatar is not me. I would rather look at Bruce than look at my own picture up there. I don't know what you look like, and please don't take this as an insult, but I'd rather look at Bruce's bootie than at you, too! :D My avatar is a picture of my kitty, who was unwilling to look at the camera on my laptop.

Hen Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I usually like to see who I am talking to..but some of the avatars that match the board names are sooo perfect! I love judo mom's and parrothead's, those are great! I was highly amused when the spate of sock monkey's broke out, that was really funny. That was here, wasn't it? And, is "spate" a word?? oh, and I'm the one on the right... Edited January 25, 2009 by Hen Jen spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes, spate is a word, and my avatar is not me, although I can be found wearing various items of clothing with the Carolina Panther on them frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanga Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My avatar is currently my youngest ds.

Pamela H in Texas Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well, mine is me, but a cartoon version of me. I used to have a photo of myself. Actually I've done so twice. One was of me as an adult and one was of me as a toddler. The latter was much cuter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 if the picture is the picture of a person, is it yourself or a family member or even a photo you took? I recently realized a particular poster's avatar was actually an actress (which I suppose, shows my ignorance of American culture :)). Me, but nor do I think I am in danger of being mistaken for a movie star. :lol: Mostly I am extremely visual, so I don't remember the names I remember the avatars. I would love it if everyone put up their picture so I could remember them and not their cute pictures, but no biggie if they don't.

Macrina Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 OTHER: My profile pic is of me, but my avatar is an icon of my patron saint. So if people want to see who they are talking to they can go to my profile :) Though I like to change up my avatars here and then until I settle on one I really like- then I leave it. People who change they avatar all the time- well then it's harder to tell who's who when posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrina Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 That is not me in my avatar. Just a fantasy. I snorted loud enough when I read this that dd asked why. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deece in MN Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well, my apologizes to those who don't care for cartoon pics, but mine will stay as is. :) I chose Donald Duck because he is my favorite Disney character and we have some similar personality traits. :D I don't care to have my picture as my avatar and I like to see the variety of avatars in addition to personal pictures because I find it more interesting. If anyone really wants to, they can see a picture of me in my profile, otherwise you can use your imagination. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Mine is me, took my me and only took about 10 shots to get something postable. I change mine occasionally to reflect interests.

JenneinCA Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yep, that is me. I don't usually wear a Viking helmet but the stunned look is... common. I like all the avatars, cartoons, pictures and anything else. I think it gives a small window into the person because it shows what they want you to see about them. Hooray for avatars!

tibbyl Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My current avatar is Mary Harris Jones (Mother Jones), early 20th century labor activist and organizer also known as "Miner's Angel."

Peek a Boo Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 No, my avatar is not me.

Too cheap tho ;) My profile pic is me, taken by one of the kids. here's a link to me as Catwoman a couple years ago: http://www.redoakrecord.com/index.asp?show=11/15/2007&Page=1 scroll down to the group pic ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
