That sound interesting I'll have to give it a look, I love a bit of alternative reading, thanks for the heads up

I've got another couple of ideas floating around and if time allows I'll get then done and post them

Yes, sadly it haven't been translated to English yet. Can't even find a youtube video in english about JJ Benitez, Smells like a conspiracy.....hehe.

I found a PDF of Caballo de Troya (Spanish). Maybe a translator program could do the job

Oh man, thanks for let me know. I'm gonna miss him.

Just popping in to see what you all were doing...
But...while I'm here, I thought maybe I could drop off two pics that maybe someone could re-size or something..
If anyone had a spare moment..
I would appreciate it...
There could be cookies involved...
Just saying...it could happen

Thanks to whoever can do this for me..

Here is one.



Your second pic may be against T&Cs but .... I am not sure. Is she naked? If so, it is a no no.

Hard to tell. Nice pic.

a reply to: pheonix358

Tyvm!! It's perfect!

Now...below there are two gift boxes..Gift 1 and Gift 2 (way to state the obvious..right?)

You get to pick one gift box (on your honor)

One of them holds cookies I made..and the other holds cookies that I purchased.

But first, I feel the need to tell you that I am a terrible cook..

I once boiled an egg for 3 hours..no lie!


So...if you want to live..choose wisely..

Box #1

Box #2

Thanks again,
blend57

Um..yeah..the second Pic I would call art..but I can see how some would not..might need to crop those out of there..lol

a reply to: valiant

Thank you, sir!

In a different mood today and just playing around but did a few more while watching TV. Like the others a page back, if anyone would like one of these to use, just let me know and I'll upload it.



I've been here a long time and never had an avatar up until just a few months ago. I've been through several trying to find one that doesn't necessarily look anything like me but captures a certain essence or attitude or something that's kind of me somehow? I'll probably be sticking with the one that's up now as it just kind reached out to me even though I'm probably old enough to be this chick's grandmother and don't have any tattoos! I ran about 20 of my little mock-ups by a friend and without prompting, she picked this one for me too so I felt I was on the right track.

Here's question though that may help with something I still haven't quite made my mind up about yet - which way should my avatar face?

I thought facing right would be more artistically correct and draw the eye toward the content of my posts and seem more receptive but then thought facing left with her back to things would show more attitude or be defensive because I tend to take a bit of flack around here. Maybe I'll just switch randomly but opinions if one is preferable over the other are welcome, for whatever reason.

ETA: The left/right sample above is not at the same zoom level as the actual avatar I'm using, but you get the idea.

I am a believer in facing the post, to the right. It draws the reader into your post more. Zarni has some cool ones where the guy is pointing to his post.

My avatar/background isn't a message about me. Its just a theme to match a user name, derived from someones description of me about 15 years ago. It immediately became my internet user name.

Thanks, BFFTXN! I agree from a design standpoint facing right toward the post is the way to go and is more friendly, open and engaging. OTOH, some less than complimentary things have been said to me and probably will be in the future so proactively taking a defensive posture seems appropriate and sometimes there's a lot of crap here I would rather turn my back to.

I wanted an avatar that did embody something about my attitude or vibe and I'm sure a lot of folks do but I would never post a picture here that could identify me in real life. Not sure this picture exactly nails it or looks anything like me at all except for being blonde and fair skinned (plus there's the whole me being 35 or 40 years older thing and I'd probably cry if my hair looked like that!)

It's the attitude that's why I said that is you! that's how I imagine you when you were like 28-30.

But with sleek hair of course!

I'm with the gorilla on the thought about facing the post. I never really paid any regard to that until kinglizard popped in here one time, as he used to from time to time, and mentioned it... to be receptive for readers of your posts and in general like showing attentiveness to others in the thread.

it's subtle, but makes some sense to me.

Hiya folks.

I need a profile pic for my ATS Twitter Handle.

Something archer esque?!

Or just some awesome ATS design/graphic I'd be cool with too

Any takers?
