Please help me "see" what is depicted in *anj*'s avatar. I swear it looks like boiled shrimp to me. Now, I have nothing against boiled shrimp. I just don't get it, that's all. As an avatar, that is. Tell me what I'm missing.

Pas moi! Unless you're reading my mind, because I admit I have thought about this more than once. But, I'm pretty darn sure I haven't actually posted those thoughts until now. Must be more than one of us who has crustacean curiousity. :D

Oh, my bad, LOL. I saw a thread before where *someone* asked what was in her avatar. :D
Glad it's being directly addressed though, cause I don't remember if she replied in that thread or not.

I vote for crabs, too. (Now there's a sentence I didn't expect to write today! LOL!)
*Anj*! Enlighten us!

as to whether we could enlarge avatar photos. I posted said question on the help page. Alas, no one ever answered my question, and it sits there even now with a big fat zero in the place that should let me see the number of helpful responses I received.
I looks like a bunch of shrimp lined up to me. :D

Yikes, you go off to cook and eat dinner and look what happens! http://www.pic4ever.com/images/20.gif (http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/%5Bimg%5Dhttp://www.pic4ever.com/images/20.gif%5B/img%5D)
They're crabs!!
If I can figure out how to enlarge them, I will.
They're crabs, all lined up. And I'm in a crabby mood today, so they fit me perfectly!

Nope, that was me, but it was probably hard to tell whose post it was really under. Glad the mystery has been solved. I thought it looked like crabs or claws and wondered why.....it would be nice to enlarge the photos, there are a couple that I can't make out, probably a singer or actor....guess it's these old eyes. lol

How appropriate that you should ask!
I originally had another picture, but you made a comment about it that made me think I should switch to something else. So I went looking through pictures that I'd saved and I found that one. I save pictures of things that I like and I like crabs, and besides that I was feeling a little cranky and pms-y that day, sooooooo.......

That is a cool idea. A moody avatar. I need one of those. Something that screams, "PMSing". Maybe a chocolate bar? Hmmm.....

Thank you for clearing that up for me, anj!
Here's something that might have appeal today. Hope you feel more "yourself" soon. :)

Maybe you should just let me pick your avatar for you next time. And anyway, where is your picture of yourself? I have a picture of myself up, where's yours?:)

Speaking of which, Doran, dear, I can't "see" yours, either.
Are those socks? Handknit socks? You'd rather be knitting? (I'd rather be knitting. But I think I'm reading to much into your avatar.)

Yes. Socks. On a clothesline. And, if they were handknit, it wasn't by me. I can only just barely knit, lout that I am. I got them from ChinaBERRY (hopefully not China, but it was too long ago for me to have been paying attention back then :rolleyes: ).
I'd rather be sitting in the sun, in a goofy pair of socks. There.

and it was on the school's dime, not ours, so it was even more delicious.
Anj's avatar makes me want more.
