Mine is a picture of the family that my wife and I have built in our 3 years together.

I also picked the roller coaster for the signature line to remind me that sobriety is a ride with ups and down.

Hi Benji. You can change your avatar or upload one if you go to the user cp thingy. you press that, and there will be something if you scroll down to upload an avatar. you can upload something from your computer or one of the images sr already has. you might not need to resize, but for example gimp is a good program to resize(on a mac at least)

btw welcome to sr

My avatar is a pic of the band babes in toyland, my favorite, and they were very important to me in my teen years, and still today.

Mine is a lighthouse; it's a symbol that my son may always find his way home.
And a rainbow; it's a symbol of my dad, who passed away unexpectedly 6 years ago.
So, it's quite meaningful to me.
And pretty too.

Carol, this is a GREAT idea!
Thanks!

Shalom!

My avatar is "Leo" from a web comic strip called VG Cats dressed up as The Exorcist.

VG Cats - Updated Mondays

Here is something to learn about me: One of my favorite past times is enjoying things that are "geeky". I like science fiction and fantasy movies, video games, and even sometimes reading comic books. These things are a very good escape for me.

VG Cats is about video games, movies, and sometimes even politics. They always cheer me up and so, when I picked an avatar I wanted something happy and was still a reminder of me. I thought Leo was just perfect since sometimes my hair is looking the same way!

I am quite attached to Leo now and he always makes me smile when I see him on my posts.

Pax,
Dietrich

I don't have an avator... I guess it is because I don't know what to put up that says who I am... I mean heck... my handle was created because I was looking at a can of coke.

But I like all of yours... I am going to keep my eyes out for something that strikes me...

I like to change mine often to reflect my enjoyment of art. The stranger the better, often fits the bill. Other times, classic seems to suit me. I like to keep a wide array to slip into as my moods change.

When this little critter was born, the first time the vet saw him he remarked how he looked like Groucho Marx with that cute little white mustache.

Alas, he is now waiting for me beyond the vale, so I keep his memory alive by having him here.

Great idea Carol!

Mine reminds me of ......well me!! This poor kitty just looks disgusted, and funny at the same time. It was e-mailed to me a long time ago and it cracked me up, if the cat had red hair, we could be twins!!!

Go to Create Your Profile (The 2nd Smiley from the left), Then click on "Here" to Modify Existing, then Modify Avatar (over on the left hand side). An addy window will come up that you can browse for your own stuff.

Well I am a petrol head, and my avatar is my car, a 2003 Ford Focus ST170 (called the SVT in the states) in Brilliant Blue.

The only other forum I am a member of is a car forum so I just used the same avatar.

Guess why I chose my avatar . . . . Can't guess. Here's a hint. I love these big four legged creatures and my life is starting to revolve around them. I work for a ranch that takes in abused and neglected horses and on Sundays I work for a thrift shop run by the ranch. The proceeds from the thrift shop go for the care and feed for the horses.
