Your Avatar and You!

yes, Monger - a l i t t l e less gruesome... teehee...

I don't know, kinda looks like it's grew some to me, monger.

Oh boy! You all have such good reasons and explanations and neat avatars. Why did I pick mine? My eyes are brown - it's that simple... I feel boring! Oh well!

urs53 - I like that avatar - it's different. What pretty eye(s) you have!

Take a deep bow, ye clever knowers that
Charm and delight us with your wit.
Yet there are some who simply 'chat',
And more than one who's full of 'chit'.

I chose mine because I love waterfalls! AND
because it actually moves, it is hard
to see because the image is so small,
but if you watch it for a few seconds, you
can see the water flowing. For me, flowing
water is like flowing time, flowing life,
flowing on down the stream. Merrily merrily
merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
1. I frequently enjoyed hiking to see waterfalls,
(especially when I was younger, stronger &
before I had my butt kicked by rheumatoid
arthritis). A mild hike, say 4-5 hours with a
waterfall at the end is kind of like a great climax
after sexy fun, ya know? It is so good to
finally get there, take off your boots, shoes,
socks, soak your feet into that icy water till they
are numb. Stretch out the muscles, have a snack,
rest a bit, shoot all the photographs/angles/from
here or there, wherever I wanted, & then - time
to head back the way I came. I remember some
of my earliest hikes, with my 3 daughters, camping
out in tents, getting up at the crack of dawn - we
always came upon a deer, or maybe even a fox.
Great times, the best of times.
2. I once went wild watering on the Chatooga River,
section IV, for the action, the fast water, the fun
AND to see a breathtaking waterfall, there was no
other way to get to it.... it was a very wild ride,
lots of wild water, and very BIG rocks. I was a
quite intimidated at first, this being the wildest
water I had ever seen, but I relaxed, & leaned
out toward the rocks like a pro. Just needed a
bit of coaching.
3. Saw some beauties in Hawaii, both on Oahu and Maui,
where my 1st grandson was born. Now that is THE
most beautiful place I have ever seen; yet.

I LIKE your avatar
They say " the eyes
are the window to
the soul", you know.
Could your name be
Ursula???

Hi Babs...I saw a waterfall just like that in Oregon called the Punchbowl Falls. I chose mine because I liked the colors, but I'm ready for a change, so who know what I'll be next. I'm technically challenged, and I have no idea how people download some of the pics they send as responses, or have as avatars. Maybe if i read the HELP section I'll find out. But for now, I'll go back to the gallery to see if anything else appeals.

dream2020- I like your avatar. I find it very interesting.

Thanks Phoenix...I just for the heck of it changed my avatar to one of a face that reminds me of one of my moods. So here goes::testing, testing

Oh well it didn't work. Off to Phoenix's link.

I only use the avatar you see to lay the ghost of a spirit dog who will otherwise bark all night, allowing me no sleep . . .

Thanks. Although I guess I'm digressing on a thread where I should be avatar-ing. So, after this post I'll be good.

My last post gave me a little pang of guilt for saying that a few knowers are, '...Full of chit'. I didn't REALLY mean it but I couldn't resist the word play. So, the following is a little act of contrition:



In truth dear knowers I ENJOY chit-chat,
But, I just simply HAVE to play with words,
Like: 'Nooks and crannies, crooks and nannies' - things like that,
And: 'whey cool curds (the kurdish way) are stirred'

So if my dubious lines provoke revulsion,
Please know I SHARE your feelings - just a bit,
And, notwithstanding my undisciplined compulsion,
I must confess (say it!) I too, am full of chit.

There, done with it! I've made a full confession,
And, if I'm now among the lower knowers,
At least I'm not alone with my obsession.
So, now that I have told you it......What's yours? :wink:

My avatar has morphed quite a bit since I chose it....

Morph any more, little k, and you'll need more space for your avatar. :wink:

Morph any more and I'll need to wear a little black rectangle over my privates

lil'k

I won't mention any names but I've had just that request (to uh, make lil'k nekkid) a few times. Lucky for you I don't have time to mess with your avatar anymore. ;-)

HAha! It's just a friggin cartoon! Funny stuff.....

DREAM - I like your choice of an avatar also
unless you are bored with it, want a change,
It is ever so easy to do, I think. I was fortunate
to have found this waterfall picture somewhere,
& I scarfed it up for my collection. I also collect
pix of castles and other odds and ends of things
Why do you not like your avatar?

But jjorge - I really enjoyed your little
word play with "full of chit"!!

Besides, guilt is so completely
totally and utterly sane for none
that your time had best be saved for
playing with words for fun
