I do change mine from time to time, but not terribly often.

The one I have right now, I'll probably keep for awhile. I happen to think I was an absolutely adorable child!

My husband is always so pleased when I do that to him.

I remember telling you one time that I tried to figure out what you handle meant and came up with Do In Kingdom but I couldn't figure out what it was you were doing in the kingdom.

Just think how pleased God will be when I figure that out as well...



ETA: I saw an interview about Law & Order on TV a while back and the actors refer to the sound in between scenes as the "doink doink" noise.

Pepe has always been my favorite cartoon character. I always feel a little awkward like the cat with paint stripe, but Pepe is smooth like silk.

ok...what were we talking about again? avatars...that's right

They are either pics or cartoons of me....... or bees of some sort.

Landabee, get it? Ha! I slay myself!

Do other avvys bother me...... a few, but not enough to get my nose out of joing. LOL

........ yeah. I love that dreamy look on Shar-Mar!


Speaking of comics.... I have one of Vicki from Rose is Rose...

Some people took offense at it..... cause she shows a little too much in the leg department.

Ms. O drew a skirt on her for me.... lol! That was WAY back in the day!

I love the Vicki character because I really identify with her.... but I'm bummed that it 'stirred up the waters' so much!
