My march for mandatory avatars

Blah blah blah, I know this isn't going to fly, but I want to see avatars on every single member, STAT.

I realize they aren't mandatory, but they sure are fun. If anyone wants help shrinking a picture, lots of people here will help. I even learned how to shrink one, so post up!

Patty, just post a picture, any size. One of us will shrink it. Or e-mail one of us a pic. I volunteer Penni or Kelly unless you want to wait for me to get home tonight. I can do it now from my home puter! lisabones@cox.net

I suppose I'm ready to do one. Ya'll have seen my funny mug a time or two, but something about it popping up on EVERY post!! Plus, I like my Blossom-y wreath. It a kind of silent homage. Let me find a pic with my eyes unsquinted from smiling through buck-teeth and I'll see if I can stand it ;)

I think with Jack we have to say "please Jack, won't you post your picture?" We know what happened the last time he posted his pics...

DeLarla, I don't even have a pic on my computer. I do have a scanner, just not sure how to use the dang thing. I will get my daughters help, maybe she will have time for dear old mom this weekend?

Yep, I'm casting my vote too -- it's fun to put faces with the posts. ;) And hey, we're all fat or all started out that way, so you're not allowed to worry about puffy cheeks, double chins, flat hair or anything like that -- it'll just make you look all that much better when you update your avatar later! :)

Well aren't you a bossy sassafrass! Sheesh, give the woman a few good toys and see how it goes to her head!

;)

I had a pic on here somewhere (in the "Not for the Timid" thread) if a kind moderator wants to shrink and avatarish it? I don't have the jpeg on this computer anymore.

Sarah you beat me to it.

Oh, thank you Sarah! But, actually that is a "Before" picture (before eye surg). The other smilie one (white shirt) is more recent and looks more like me. The above pic is a glam shot I had taken for my boyfriend at the time.

You know they put a ton of makeup on you and dress you up in great lighting for the glam shots. When I went to pick up the pics I was makeupless in scruffies and when the guy at the counter saw the pictures he looked at them and went, "Wow"... looked at me and said, "Is that YOU?"

Baaaaad sign!

LOL
