This is a photo of my oldest grandchild and myself taken 2 weeks ago. Anyhow, on with the discussion at hand...... My friends will notice that my avatar is changed. I was reminded about the Santa Hat by an old friend of mine from here. Thanks to that member. So do you change your avatar here or other sites to fit the season and or Holidays? How often do you update your profile here and elsewhere? I tend to change my avatar often here and other sites. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Great picture of you and your grand daughter! I see the same loving pride in both sets of eyes! I don't change my avatar very often, but I just changed it to my Pogo mini because it looks holidayish. After January, I'll probzbly change it back. I do like your Christmas avatar, but I have one question...where's the mistletoe?

Nope I don't change mine too often if at all. I think especially in a community as large as this your friends can pick you out easier by your avatar if you keep it the same or similar theme. BTW.... nice hat Grandpa Bob!

Thanks. I burnt my chin and chest badly as a young adult and my beard does not grow fully. But if it did, it would not need dying as it is mostly gray nowdays. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

hi thats a great avatar good on you grandpa Bob, help wish someone would tell me how to get rid of my ugly little' man and have a real avatar . so far nobody has been able to tell me in simple terms how to do this, always long 'winded stuff that I just did not understand. I am a techno phobe and need simple directions to use for something like that.

Hey Grandpa Bob! Emma is beautiful! You have the most beautiful grandchildren! They are all simply gorgeous! You are a very lucky Grandpa! Yes, I was wondering when you were going to put on your Santa's hat! Looks great as always! I haven't changed my avatar yet! I'm always so scared to do it! I am so not good at doing stuff like that! I'm always afraid that I won't be able to get the old one back! Maybe I will give it a try! Sconibear worked so hard to get it for me! I will go and try to find it! Wish me luck!

I did change it and screwed it up badly! I thought I'd be stuck with that screaming green thing again forever! I'm never going to try that again! So there won't be a "Christmas Opal" Avatar because I'm too scared that I will never get the regular one back again! I burned my dinner trying to figure out how to get this one back! I told you I wasn't good at doing this kind of stuff!

I don't change my avatar cos i like consistency... it's nice that people take the effort to update their avatar with the season so that there is variety. but for me, i like consistency and for people to continue recognising me...

Hello there Santa Bob! lol Some of us do change out avatars to get into the spirit of the season and yes, I'm one of them. Now whether it gets me in the spirit of the season is another thing. Am I in the spirit? No but I hide behind the idea and act like I am but I'm not. Times are hard and with two ill parents, it's hard but I do try though for their sakes.

I love that you do that. Each time I see it, I think, "it's that time again" No I don't change often. When my children have a good picture I use that. Come to think of it, I'll do that right now!

I like that picture! I don't change my avatar. People recognize the dragon and know that it is me, I don't know anyone anywhere who uses that particular dragon. btw, I found those recipes and will send them to you today!

Almost never and almost never. At least once I get things the way I like them...

I don't change my avatar often at all mainly because I usually can't find one that I like or one that will fit since some sites you can only have certain size. Your granddaughter is a cute little girl. I remember her from pictures you have posted before, they sure do grow up fast don't they?

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Very nice, I have only changed my avatar on two other sites but here I will never change it as just love my avatar as its magical all through the year. Yes you look very festive here. Tamara

That photo is a keeper for sure! She's a doll baby, and the hat looks great on you. I can tell you're enjoying the holiday season, and it does the heart good :)) Karen
