How did you choose your avatar picture?

I also had several ones.  I started w/ a "crazy chicken" moving her head side-to-side, when our avatars were animated... and then I had a boy "wee-wee" against a butterfly, again also animated.

Now, I have my other crazy chicken that kats created for me a long time ago.

Hello,

So many have inquired about my avatar!   How do you know it's not really me?  lol

I came across this picture somewhere online and it freaked me out so bad I had to have it.  I used it as my screensaver at work for ahile but was really creeping out my co workers.

So after chemo in 2005, when my hair was coming back in with that whispy white stuff, I remembered this picture.  There is a woman in the chats that put together pictures of chatters and this is the picture I submitted.  She added the Watson to it and I restole it for here.

Try to enlarge the pic somehow and give it a good stare.  Gives you the heebie jeebies! 

Love,

Watson

My avatar is a photo of Isabella "the wonder cat." She is the survivor among three newborn kittens we found in our garage the night we got home from my staging tests prior to chemo. I was pretty traumatized and sure I had mets because they had called me back for x-rays of several areas in my spine that "lit up" on the bone scan (my arthritis, it ended up), then said I couldn't get the results until my onc returned following the long weekend. Bottle feeding three kittens was a good distraction during that "weekend from hell." The two sibs were weak and didn't make it but Isabella beat the odds. Our vets call her "the miracle cat." She has grown to be an incredible cat, beautiful (IMO), friendly, playful, a little weirdly human in some ways (reaches her front legs up asking to be picked up). She is a daily reminder of survival against the odds.

I have a much better pic of her which I realize I meant to switch to- this back of the couch one doesn't do her justice.

My avatar is just little old me enjoying myself at our company Christmas Gala.

  Can't wait for Spring, tired of being cold.

Hi I love this thread too. My picture is of me hiking with my good friend after she had a stroke and recovered enough to go camping. She took the picture and I thought it was awful. Now, I think I look pretty good. It was some really good girl time even though Lisa still has trouble speaking. She talked until 2am. I have not taken many pix of me after chemo. I don't know if I want to remember this time.

I originally had a picture of myself that was cropped from a group picture taken at a "girls" weekend prior to my dx. I removed it when there was so much stuff about googling posts on this site and now I can't get anything else posted.

I have it in photobucket, have resized it to avatar size and am copying the IMG link, but when I paste it in my profile and hit save it just sits there and never saves. Anyone know what's wrong with it?

I don't think you all need me to explain why I picked this picture as my avatar. *lol*

Sam, you have to save your avatar picture on to your computer, not anywhere on the internet. Just save it, hit the "browse" button in the avatar section on your profile page, then navigate to where you have save the picture. Don't forget to hit "Save" button before exiting the page.

Hugs,

My avatar was taken last november when I went to Wales to visit my family, it looks just like I do now. I have had several pictures to commemorate different milestones etc, super short hair, super curly hair, etc etc.

This picture, I like, I am not the most photogenic chick in the world but I don't mind this one.
