If you have an avatar - care to share?

biancardi — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 16:06:34 GMT

Care to share what/who it is and the meaning of why you picked it?

I'll start

Mine is the actor Tom Hardy in his Mad Max role in the movie Fury Road. I really enjoyed that movie (huge mad max fan since the early 1980's) and was so happy to see pratical effects in Fury Road. My siggy is from the movie as well....

My avatars are never set in stone and I will change them up when the mood strikes (and most likely,they will be good looking men - ahahaha)

Hi Biancardi! I'm VERY glad to see you and have missed you a bunch.

Mine is just my boy Ru, when he was a little baby boy.

I'm sure it's obvious, but my Avatar is my dog Frankie.

I love Danes of all coat colors, but I like the look of Harlequin Danes-they look like spotted cows. lol

A beautiful desert rose. The plant is a cactus and not at all pretty but the flowers are astounding.

Yep. Being non-techie I was curious if I could upload one. I spotted the little dancing blue elephant -- no special significance -- and uploaded her successfully but the Q won't "let the little girl dance." 😃

Maybe I'll find one with more significance to me but don't hold your breath.

My avatar is a pic of my sweet boy who died just 2 years ago in April. I got him when he was about 3 months old. He was 14 years old and I still miss him so much my eyes are overflowing as I type.

My first one was the TARDIS, the ultimate traveler but since most posters couldn't see it or understand it changed to the movie Avatar.

Tabbycat, big hug to you. I lost my big boy cat recently. Lately I dream about him and wake up expecting to see him wanting his breakfast. It's not easy.

Hi b--

I'm not good with posting links or pics. I'll figure it out someday.

I'd like to post a pic of myself, but it freaks me out when people say you can be 'traced'.

I guess I don't know what 'traced' means? Traced as in my name number address and honest weight will be public info???

I had a beautiful Shepherd who just died last week. Her pic would be the one I would've posted, but it would break my heart if I saw it all the time.

So I'll stick with the default that doesn't look too different from me (minus all the humidity).

It's good to see you back. I hope all is well with you and often wondered about your DM and how she is doing.

I love Great Danes too! I am a supporter of the Service Dog Project (SDP) in Ipswich, MA. They raise GD to assist people with mobility issues. They do great work and I enjoy watching their live cameras every day!

The only significance in my avatar is that it is cold and snowy and the weather here has been way too hot and humid.

I tried four or five, mostly my cats, but in the tiny format their faces were too indistinct. So I went to my small collection of dolls.

This is the Winnie Walker "Flower Girl" doll, which my granddad gave to me the morning of my aunt's wedding. I was 3 yrs old and the flower girl in that wedding, and my mother had found a dressmaker capable of copying "Winnie's" dress, so the doll and I were dressed exactly alike that day. I got this doll on Ebay, for I loved the original literally to pieces.

I'll change it out for my Jill and Ginny dolls when I get tired of "Winnie."

Tulips are my favorite spring flower so I chose a yellow one. I may change it as I gain confidence with the new format but for now it's the tulip.

thank you for the warm welcomes, chickenbutt, lucky charm and pqfan...

and thank you ladies for your comments!

Lucky charm, I am not sure what can be "traced". I looked at my photo that I uploaded here and then I inspected the properties. It is uploaded to the chatboard system here, so I suppose the
only trace is if you are a web admin and can view those logs. Which none of us can.... The information on my photo is http://community.qvc.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/370iB2C1A31D9E2B1521/image-dimensions/125x125/image-coordinates/1%2C29%2C111%2C139?v=mpbl-1

and that has nothing to do with my IP address, my computer or anything. That is the server location where the Q stored my image and its dimensions...

Oh No! Biancardi. I meant if we posted a personal picture of ourselves, it can be 'traced'. I didn't mean if we posted just any pics.

Have you ever heard that before? That someone posted their pic, it could be traced to who they are? Maybe I'm just paranoid!
