Okay guys,

I've been thinking about losing my pink cowboy hat and changing my avatar back my original pic.

What do you think?

Thanks for your opinions.

      Oh no!

      I could never do that Jonathan!

      Not only has this been my best year yet, with being hired by a company to be their voice on their websites and radio commercials and writing scripts for them, but I could never ever leave all of the most wonderful friends I've met here!

      I'd miss you all tremendously and have no one to "make my day" every day of the week!! Heaven forbid!!

            Terra, you look great with or without the hat...and no, I'm not weird, just calling it how I see it. I'm a woman who's not afraid to give another woman a compliment, it's as simple as that.

            Have a great weekend!

        Don't worry - if you can't reach the doorhandle - we always leave the basement window unlocked. If ya come in through there, would ya stop in the wine cellar and bring up a case of the Dom? It will save us a trip later.

        Wow -- I just saw a guy running by in a pink hat with a cup of tea....and a rabbit? WTF?

        I like both pics, honestly.

        I think it depends on what kind of "tone" you want to set. More lighthearted or more professional.

        Either one looks good.

      I think that I'll keep the professional tone with my avatar and keep my lighthearted tone down here in the lounge.


      LOL Kurt!

      But I think I'll pass on the "Poindexter" tone. :p

    I'm thinking of getting a new pic taken this summer, too. Of course - as a rockhound, my hat actually is professional. LOL. We actually do often wear hats out in the field.

    Well, since we won't be drinking any Dom for awhile, I'm gonna go chase the guy with the pink hat carrying the tea pot. I wonder if he has any scones in his pocket.

      Well shoot!

      I forgot to mention I already brought it up. But you can chase the dude with the pink hat if you want scones.

      I checked the cupboards and we are completely out!

    I guess the camera really does add some pounds.. fail.

    I cant seem to get any of these to look right - did they decrease the pixel size allowed for avatars?

    I could have sworn my original avatar was bigger than these..

    Thanks Terra - will have some of the Dom in a few -- I think I'm gonna go chase the guy in the pink hat with the tea chasing the rabbit. Something tells me he's got a fattie to share, too. Hey, it IS Saturday.

    ROB - that pic looks okay (standing, white shirt) - other than you're too far from the camera. Not sure what size the avatar pics are, but my pic has stayed the same size since I put it up. You just need a close up. Unless you are bizarrely scary looking close up that is. You might be able to get that guy with the tea chasing the rabbit to lend you the pink hat he's wearing for a few minutes to take a new pic.

    I give up. I'm just sticking with this one for awhile until I decide to take some new ones.

    lol I guess I'm just not a photogenic person..

    edit: na, I'm not 'bizarrely scary' up close, I just have a limited number of pix to choose from.

    I'm just going thru my FB albums & using those, but most of them consist of me showing my tattoos, holding guns, or both (LOL) so I dont wanna use those..

    And I think I know which one you're talking about (it was a baby blue shirt tho, not white) but the pixels got all distorted when it resized..

    edit again: OHHH, I know which one you're talking about - the one where I'm on the beach at night! Yeah, that was way too small once I uploaded it on here.

    haha thanks

    People say I look like Paul Walker (guy from Fast & Furious) when I spike my hair, which I dunno.. I guess I see it.

    It must be true tho, since I was at the movies & some random guy comes walking up to me & says "HEY! You're that guy from the movie with Jessica Alba!"

    I was like "Who? Paul Walker?" & they said "YEAH!! THAT GUY!"

    So I decided to have some fun with him & said "yeah, thats me" then walked away. lulz
