Now I can't remember what your old avatar was!
That may be because it wasn't easy to tell what it was. I think it was a piece of artistically beaten copper, but PN can confirm.Oooh! You could have seasonal dessert avatars, like me and my seasonal blackbirds!
Ice cream in the summer, your new one here for autumn, something Christmassy for winter, and umm, fruit salad or something for Spring.
Perhaps I should have seasonal pics of Avatar Dog. This one for autumn, playing in the snow for winter, in the garden for spring, and relaxing in the sun for summer.
It's been nearly 10 years and I still miss him. Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

I don't have avatars nor signatures displayed due to certain posters' (not NPs) delight in using large and/or garish images, so I won't see it.:
I didn't think it was possible to use your own images in signatures, only the emoticons already provided on here?
Do you react to things like strobes , too? And flashing things on the TV?(I just lurve spiders!)

Only in the sense that I don't like 'em
It's purely personal preference, not that they set anything off - assuming you're suspecting something like epilepsy.0 -

I don't think it is. You can, however, have a sig with multiple brightly coloured fonts of VERY LARGE letters. (I'll leave that in black on white so as to spare chris_m's brain.) The debt-free and mortgage-free wannabe boards are full of people with multicoloured sigs that track their various debts.

I'm sure there were some people who put graphs in their sigs, as well as loads of multicoloured waffle - to the extent that the sigs drowned out what anyone was actually saying.
Hence, I don't have the sigs visible so that I only have to look at what is actually being discussed 0 -
Jealous are we, PN...I think....0

I am fairly limited on sig. The text has to be small to fit in all that needs to be said.

Sorry if the colours of mine are annoying anyone (if they are, please say, I won't consider it un-nice)
I have tried to keep it reasonable, however couldn't resist putting the colours of the Romanian flag in there on that particular word.💙💛 💔0 -
Well, there's that, but there are also other things it can set off, like having the alien implant in your brain activated so that you become part of the advance guard for the invasion.Only in the sense that I don't like 'em
It's purely personal preference, not that they set anything off - assuming you're suspecting something like epilepsy.
Wasn't there also a film, with someone like Michael Caine, where the agent was brainwashed by strobes or flashing lights or something, so that when he saw one, he had to assassinate someone or something?
So who knows what tendencies they might activate in you! :eek:
(Have you turned off emoticons too?)
Actually, I feel quite virtuous now, because apart from one little red heart, all my signature is in Courier font, which is quite faint, done deliberately so that it wouldn't detract from my scintillating posts. :rotfl::rotfl:CKhalvashi wrote: »Sorry if the colours of mine are annoying anyone (if they are, please say, I won't consider it un-nice)

I though you were from Georgia, or am I confusing you with someone else?
If you are from Georgia, you could also...... use this Georgia font!

Nah, the tinfoil hat deals with that

Would you be thinking of The Ipcress File perchance?0
