How many of you have a pic of yourself as your avatar?

[Tammy]

I do....and sometimes I am not sure if those pics are really of 'you' or not, LOL!

Tammy

[Crissy]

Nope. I have a profile picture, though.
I've had other images of myself online, but I thought it was time to be honest about my plumpness.
That's the real me. A fat girl with too much makeup. :D

[Pencil Pusher]

Tell me you're kidding! You look THIN!!!

[Crissy]

Tell me you're kidding! You look THIN!!!

Oh, Aubrey, you don't want a picture of my hips! :D

[freethinkermom]

Yep, that's me. My hair is shorter now, but it is a fairly recent picture.

[JudoMom]

that's not me ;).

[Pencil Pusher]

that's not me ;).
ROFLOL!!

[Tracey in TX]

No, that's DS at a pirate themed bday party :P It was supposed to be the dog wearing a crown, but somehow got my cutie pie instead.

[Pencil Pusher]

Oh, Aubrey, you don't want a picture of my hips! :D

Alright. A measurement will do.

Anything to tell me that someone who calls themselves...now I don't remember what word you used...well, we'll have to use mine: "fluffy"...really is.

[Pencil Pusher]

Yep, that's me. My hair is shorter now, but it is a fairly recent picture.

You're cute! I love seeing what people look like irl!

Unfortunately, though, I'm intimidated by pretty people, & I was really hoping everybody here would be dowdy.

So...a whole lot of y'all have really managed to buck the stereotype of hs'ing moms, but at the expense of me feeling comfortable talking to you! LOL

Except Judo. Your avatar makes me very comfortable. ;)

[Kristafish]

it really is me~unfortunately :D

[percytruffle]

Does my hand count? You didn't say it had to be our face! My pic is in my profile, although I don't like the pic and want to take a new one.

[freethinkermom]

You're cute! I love seeing what people look like irl!


Ah, thanks! :)

[GothicGyrl]

I wish I had hair like him--no, it's John Taylor from Duran Duran.. I'm in my profile pic.

[PinkInTheBlue]

Yep, it's me. Unfortunately it's from a bit over 2 years ago in Whistler BC. It's the most available, pretrimmed picture I had. I'll get my sweetie to trim a more recent one for me soon.

[Tracey in TX]

that's not me ;).
NO? Oh maaaannn, thought that was a cool judo move your boys do :)
Love the avatar; it makes me smile

[KidsHappen]

It was jus taken in Dec,

[Mamagistra]

That's me, Version 2007. :) Upgrade coming soon...

[nukeswife]

Yep it's me and my youngest son at Disney Animal Kingdom

[Plaid Dad]

My avatar is St. Joseph, so, um, not me, but there's a genuine, unretouched photo of me on my profile page. ;)

[j.griff]

me!!!!!!!!!!


















































J/K :D

[OnTheBrink]

Mine is of me! Well, sorta. Mom2abcd says it looks just like me, so there you go.

[Beth in Central TX]

Yep, it's me. Family pictures from Oct. 2007.

[Tarheel Heather]

But dd loves Lilo&Stitch! I hate having my picture taken!

[Whisperlily]

Okay, I added one of me, just for you. ;)

Hope I don't scare y'all away. (I am allowed to say "y'all" now that I'm in TX, right? It's all new to me.)

[Peek a Boo]

If i actually had a professional pic of me done in my catwoman costume, then yeah, I'd be pretty much a dead ringer for my avatar :-) But I'm too cheap!! My real pic is in my profile tho.

[Tammy]

OH MY....I am shocked....I had you pictured ALL different, LOL!

[Mamagistra]

Okay, I added one of me, just for you. ;)

Hope I don't scare y'all away. (I am allowed to say "y'all" now that I'm in TX, right? It's all new to me.)

I think you're totally cute...love your glasses. :) And you may say y'all as soon as you've learned the secret handshake...








;)

[Mom2boys]

And I always wear a tiara too. ;)

[JennifersLost]

working on looking like my avatar.....I think it will take a few more "abs and jabs" classes. And a dye job.


Oh, and a spear.

[Whisperlily]

And you may say y'all as soon as you've learned the secret handshake...



Secret handshake? :eek:

And, my TX brother thinks my glasses are too... "Northwest" for TX. Ah, well I'm from the PNW after all. I might be able to learn a secret handshake as long as I don't have to give up my glasses. ;)

[Whisperlily]

working on looking like my avatar.....I think it will take a few more "abs and jabs" classes. And a dye job.


Oh, and a spear.


I think you should have a Good Witch avatar! I miss seeing your old name. :)

[Cadam]

Well, she came from me. :D No way am I putting my real pic out there like that.

[Jill, OK]

...it's time to come clean.

That is *not* an actual, un-retouched photo of me in my avatar.

I photoshopped my hair to look calmer. ;o)

Just kidding...I do have a photo in my profile, though, and I love it when folks have their pictures up. I'm a curious person by nature, and I like seeing what you all look like!

[JennifersLost]

I haven't been feeling too witchy lately, but I was confessing "witchy" activities to another woman who I volunteer with at dd's school - I don't do this much; people are fairly conservative here. Where "circles" used to be a dime a dozen in my old town there's not much going on here - and for a moment I wished I hadn't. Then she confessed she thinks that if people keep making movies about aliens attacking earth they eventually will.


Hmmmm. LOL!



Oh, I can't leave it like that. She's a totally sweet woman who just about single-handedly coordinates food programs for people all around town. We were really discussing how "intentions" can create results whether through prayer, spells, meditation or creativity (like making movies) and how we "get back" whatever we "put out there".

I like my Boudicca avatar. If I ever find a really good "good witch" maybe I'll pick it up.

[WTMindy]

Nope. I have a profile picture, though.
I've had other images of myself online, but I thought it was time to be honest about my plumpness.
That's the real me. A fat girl with too much makeup. :D
Crissy, if you are going to be honest, I would NOT call you a plump girl with too much makeup!!!!

[HeatherH]

Hope I don't scare y'all away. (I am allowed to say "y'all" now that I'm in TX, right? It's all new to me.)

heh heh - Whisperlily - we've been in B'ham 2.6 years, and I now say y'all regularly! I kinda like it - aaack! Don't tell my dh!!!!!

I obviously don't have a pix avatar. Maybe when I get more saavy. . .or let my dc take my picture!

[WTMindy]

this past Christmas. I love seeing all of your real faces.

[gardenschooler]

I don't want to look at myself that much. :eek: I have one on profile, though.

I haven't seen any that aren't the real person that are a photo....well, except for Jennifer! But I'm sure she looks pretty *close* to that!

[Dana in OR]

His name is Moose, by the way, and I can no longer pick him up!

[Amy in Orlando]

Nope - that's my son after some chocolate milk powder magically exploded all over his head. I don't have a picture of me to share - I take awful pictures. I'll keep trying to get a decent one to add to my profile, though.

[Jill, OK]

I *love* your avatar photo, lol.

Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful, and it would be great to see your face every time I open one of your posts, but...I love the current one. :o)

[Tutor]

:D

I don't photograph well and hate having my picture taken. I'm also usually the one taking pictures, so there really aren't very many pics of me around.

[HeatherH]

Not of me, but of my cutie pie 3 you.

And I figured out how to do it!

Double go me!!!!

[Lorna in the boonies]

Not me.

(My kids, December, 2007.)

[Peek a Boo]

If I ever find a really good "good witch" maybe I'll pick it up.

Hm. I sure don't see you as a Wizard of Oz Glinda, lol! I always think of you as McGonagall. But way younger!!

this one would be great if everyone new what it was. I kinda like it...
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=6597

this is pretty to the point: http://www.evisionarts.com/portal/earthandmoon/images/templates/wicca/goodWitch.gif

i kinda like the animated broom and cooking witch a ways down on this page:
http://www.halloweentshirtsandgifts.com/witchgifts_3.htm

dh would vote for this one..:)

what do you want in an avatar? what do you want your good witch to look like?


I have a 12ft bull whip --does that make my avatar more realistic? hee hee.....

[Amy in Orlando]

I *love* your avatar photo, lol.

Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful, and it would be great to see your face every time I open one of your posts, but...I love the current one. :o)

:D You always were my favorite, Jill.

[Needleroozer]

It took me too long to find that pic of a good-looking porcupine not to use it for my avatar. A photo of me last summer is in my profile. I want to put a new one up now that I have lost a bit of weight in my face. It is so round in this one!

[Kelli in TN]

Yup. This is me.

[sdWTMer]

Nope.

[Sugarfoot]

I'm impressed with everyone's avatar photos. I thought I was doing well to get a picture of any kind to accompany my posts. Now I find out that you all have photos in your profiles! I'll have to get to work on that...I'm so technologically impaired.:o

[CLHCO]

My avatar is my kids.

That picture of me was cut out of one taken at a cub scout pack meeting and I was by the flag, giving that patriotic look. I'm not actually running for president. :rolleyes:

[JennifersLost]

So I went to the trouble of uploading a profile picture - but it's pretty darn tiny. You can see a bigger version here: (http://picturesfornana.blogspot.com/)


I didn't have time to dig out a hat, broom, cat or cape.

So sorry.

Peek - you found some great pics - last time I was looking around I found nothing!

[Tammy in Germany]

I have one in my profile. :)

[Liz CA]

I do....and sometimes I am not sure if those pics are really of 'you' or not, LOL!

Tammy

[Quiver0f10]

Mine is of me. I need to do a new one soon as I have lost a lot of weight since then.

[Jenny in Atl]

I like changing mine too often to just use me. The real me is in my profile. :p

[PrairieAir]

I do. Well, hubby and me together. I think it's easy to tell who's who:)

[elegantlion]

Yup, it's me. Curly hair in the morning and all.

I have a yahoo avatar that I use on some boards. My son lovingly told me it looks just like me, except much younger. He quickly backtracked on that statement as I almost burst into tears.

[mellifera]

This is Greebo. We like Pratchett here rather a lot. Can you tell?;)

[Remudamom]

I did have a couple up of me and horses but I switched them.

[DollyM]

That's me. I guess I don't "get" the concept of "avatar" because if never occured to me to have an "avatar" be DIFFERENT from my profile picture.

Can somebody bring me up to speed on this whole "avatar" thing. I don't even like the WORD .. LOL. Sounds like something Shirley MacLaine would need. Ack. I'm revealing my worldview biases now, aren't I?:p:eek::rolleyes:

PS In my photo, I am standing, in true English-Geek mode, in the shadow of the statue that reportedly inspired Percy Bysshe Shelley to write my favorite of his poems, Ozymandias (I met a traveller from an antique land ... blah blah blah.)

[HSMom2One]

I really don't like the picture of me that I was using, so I replaced it with "The Reader" by artist Jean-Honore Fragonard. I love this painting, and it seems so appropriate. I'll put an updated picture of myself in my profile soon.

Blessings,
Lucinda

[Mrs Mungo]

Yes, that is me with my Mike's ;)

eta: I have a different pic of myself in my profile.

[nancypants]

Me. :D

[nancypants]

Nope. I have a profile picture, though.
I've had other images of myself online, but I thought it was time to be honest about my plumpness.
That's the real me. A fat girl with too much makeup. :D

Call yourself fat again in my presence and I'll give you too much eye make up... all in various shades of black and blue!! :mad:










http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/posiepie/ROFL.gif

but seriously... Plumpness? I'm not seeing it. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/posiepie/shrug.gif

[Mom2legomaniacs]

Yeah, that's really me. I was playing around on my new computer with the photo booth thing.

And Ms Mungo -- ROFL! I never noticed the Mike's before! COOL!

[~Puddins~]

Yes, that would be me up there..

[NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too]

on my way to a company Christmas party. I don't wear that much makeup normally. My hair has since grown out. Other than that, I look the same. My oldest now wears glasses and looks like a mop-head. My youngest has his hair grown out.

[Rebel]

I'm in my avatar and I have another pic of me on my profile. Dh calls my avatar pic "Rebel and her big (another name for a rooster)", since I'm holding Paul, our rooster. The profile pic is of me holding Petunia the oppossum.

[Just Me]

UUUMMMM...no, that's not me. And the picture in my profile (I think) is my kids when we were on vacation. Since I am the one taking the pictures, there are very few of me! :rolleyes:

[Mekanamom]

Hee hee, er... no.

But I did put one up on my profile because of this thread! ;)

[slug hollow]

No, that's not me, but I did take the photo.
You can find a slug in my yard almost every day - though I'm not going out to check under all that snow. :)

[Stephanie in FL]

Yep it is me.

[Karin]

Not yet, but as soon as I can find my photos I'm going to scan either a baby pic or a white face pic (if I haven't thrown the latter out in some moving purge). It will be the real me, but not what I look like now. Anything from 1yo and up looks pretty much like me. Plus, I was at my most beautiful when I was a baby. The white face photo would be fun, because that's a side of me not seen on the boards, but it's very much part of me. No one can get a word out of me when I put it on (needless to say, I've had to take a break because I can't afford to be that silent when caring for my particular set of kids.

[Mrs Mungo]

Not yet, but as soon as I can find my photos I'm going to scan either a baby pic...

You know what would be fun? To have everyone email a baby pic to one poster then that one poster posts *everybody's* baby pics with a list of who sent and we could guess who was who.

[Dawn E]

It took forever to find one, though, since I'm usually behind the camera. :)

[redmom3]

nt

[Miss Peregrine]

Yep, that's me.

Side note: When scrolling down the page and scanning, I always see Alf when I see JennifersLost's avatar:o You know, a peripheral vision kind of thing. :D

[nuthouse]

I look exactly like my avatar. :D

[Virginia Dawn]

I googled "picture of child with book" looking for an avatar. When I found this one it was so "me" I had to have it. It is my inner child.

[Rhesa]

Sigh.

I'm never going to get the hang of this posting thing. It took me forever to figure out how to post any picture of myself! But that's me...a few months ago on a trip with my hubby. I look relaxed! (The kids were with the inlaws;))

[Sixmeadows]

I can see that

cheri

[sdWTMer]

Okay, well I added my pic to my profile, I must have had a temporary lapse of insanity. :-O

[Crissy]

Okay, well I added my pic to my profile, I must have had a temporary lapse of insanity. :-O


Hey, I LOVE it!
Your avatar really does look like you! :)

[Mom2legomaniacs]

Okay, well I added my pic to my profile, I must have had a temporary lapse of insanity. :-O

Why would you say that? You look so lovely! (I started with cute, but some people think that cute is not a good complement -- so I went with lovely but if you are ok with cute, then I think you're cute too!)

GAH, am I a dork with trying to give a simple complement or what!

[angela in ohio]

Of course mine is. It's from a few years ago when dc were littler, though. ;)

[SnowWhite]

That's me over there.;)

[Mrs. H.]

Nope. That's my sweet baby. I do need to add a profile pic, though, if I can find one that's not of me 8 months pregnant.

[Karin]

So, what do you think? My favourite photo of myself ever, not necessarily because it looked/s like me. Yes, it's old. How old do you think I was? My mother, completely unbiased, of course;), told me at the time that it doesn't look anything like me. My dh, equally unbiased;), said it looks just like me even now (yeah, at 48. Right:rolleyes:) My ds, 7, had no idea who it was. My girls weren't sure. But, after all, I don't wear makeup, my hair up or pluck my eyebrows that thin anymore. Not to mention, my lips were reshaped by lipstick...

[beansprouts]

It's a couple of years old, but it is me. My hair is several inches longer now.

[Laura in VA]

I love seeing everyone's pictures!

[stephanie]

I do....and sometimes I am not sure if those pics are really of 'you' or not, LOL!

Tammy

Yep, it's me. My dh and I were playing in the sunglasses aisle in Walgreens on one of our romantic dates!

[mrscopterdoc]

no actual picture of me, but I think it says a lot about me. I hope.

[Just a Jen in Mississippi]

And me! This pic was taken last summer and my hair is a tad longer, but not much else has changed.

[LaMere Academy]

This is me! Taken a couple of months ago :p

[LadyNancy]

This is me taken last summer. The cropped picture in my profile is also me. Both pics are a bit blurry.

[Kate CA]

Not there, but I did put one in the profile. Somehow that seems less out there and *I* don't have to look at it in every post! LOL!

[Tarheel Heather]

Of my kidlets, me in my profile. Just to think a month ago I didn't know what an avatar was!
