I changed mine. This is Nena "le Chat", my crazy cat, adopted this winter. I was concerned at first that she would get into Oscar's feathers, my African Grey Parrot, but no... Oscar is an obsene screamer, very male-dominant, who keeps his prey at bay or under his claws! His favorite scare: "Shut op!!"

Sometimes I think I know everything, and I regain consciousness. Seen it all, done it all, forgot most of it....

So much plenitude, yet so much emptiness

The current avatar is of Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel wearing traditional Japanese wedding costumes. Ewen doesn't know it yet, but it's going to be the official logo of our wedding.

I've used photos of us together in the past, though. Ewen's avatar is an animated .gif that he made that features both of us.

Abby (U.S.) and Ewen (Scotland): We laughed. We cried. Our witness didn't speak English. Happily married (finally), 27 December 2006.

Latest news: Green card received 16 April 2007. USCIS-free until 3 January 2009! Eligible to naturalize 3 April 2010.

Since my old computer is so slow to place a personal pic on the avatar Iwent on to look at the premade ones.

The fairy/indian woman fits my personality and since being a member I have noticed no one else using the

picture.

Moondancer

Ha.. I just found the perfect Avatar for me... I am a hiker and I have this tee shirt... Not all who wander are Lost... JRR. Tolkien said that, plus someone started using my fairy/indian lady and I don't like to share...

7-3-06 GREEN CARD ARRIVES IN MAIL!!!! Done for two years!!!!!!

I am here to help, even if it's just to offer my shoulder to cry or vent on... We are all in this together.!

My answers are based on personal experience, not fact.

We are on this rollercoaster ride together holding on for dear life.
