I hope mine doesn't strike you that way.  Mine is what my real name, Elizabeth, means, and I've always loved the meaning of my name.
I don't care for Halloween avatars, because I don't celebrate it. I have a problem with Christians celebrating Halloween anyway, and when people have Halloween avatars it's a constant reminder of that issue.
Some of you mentioned that you recognize people by their avatars. What would you do if more than one person shared the same avatar?

That actually happens sometimes. Groups of people will all sport the same avatar; and it will be of one of the posters.

Yeah, it was Tuney up there that said she was gonna report me to this thread for sinful avatar usage. 
I think she was just trying to get the attention off of her sinful grocery purchases.

I'd love to see a Tim the Toolman avatar.
Actually, I'd prefer an Al Borland one. I always liked him and thought he had the BEST beard!

Then again there are those who are typical jock, he man, shut up women types on here that just tell us all to shut up and just listen to them because they have all the answers.
I usually ignore those guys. I know my friend Sam will take care of them.

I MISS doing those themed avatars! I was cleaning up my PC the other day and stumbled across my folders of avatars from when we did Old Hollywood and TV shows. Too fun!

Definitely!
I think if they gave Richard Karns a sitcom (not Family Feud), he'd have a built-in fan base.

I would like to put my girls photo on, they said " No" maybe do it anyway. I would like to put my favorite photo on here. My husband and I were about twenty three. He had hair, and was much prettier than me, I was pregnant with my first DD. We looked so much in love in that photo. I did not put it on, because I laughed at my business teacher, who used the same young photo for twenty years. I would put a disclaimer, but you could tell a difference, between this avatar and the young one (LOL). So do you guy's think that would be too corney, or fakey if i did that? I am afraid this one now looks stuck-up.
