Julie that’s not me… That is Chris ;)

Julie, you must be drinking Red Bull by the case to shake it like that!

Damn, Mr. Ed! You promised you would never show this home movie – now everyone knows. You still look as good now as you did when you were shaking your little mariaches – or whatever they are called. ;0)

Julie I never knew… ;)

Wow! I’ve been called a lot of things that have four letters but hero was never one of them.LOL!

And in just a few days! Maybe I had the talent all along – I just needed to be coached and hang out with the bad boys. You are my hero, Karl!

Julie, I believe you have what it takes to become a true Grinchess!

Bag IS better than those stupid drawings done in bad colors: they look like the construction paper projects I did as a kid.

I added a photo but how can I get a better resolution?

Actually I like the bag better than the generic avatar!

Ha ha. Yes, it is me. Thanks.

Thank you, Carrie – that is just too precious. Assuming it is you or at least someone you know. ;0)

Colonel, Maybe I could get some free advertising if we would make the pillowcase over a head one of the choices for an avatar.

“…it’s like talking to someone with a brown paper bag over thier head.”

In case one is unsure of their “generic” gender…

You guys are making me laugh. My new avatar is just for you!

Yeah!!!

Julie,I award you 10 points toward your official grinch badge! ha!

Let’s get back to generic avatars: I have gently mentioned the avatar and then insulted and done all I can with one female who insists she uses the male avatar because she has short hair. I give up: if insults don’t work, nothing will.

Exactly!!! Thank you, Mr. Ed. I am assuming that the hair and crown and wrinkles were provided by the real queen…. ;-)

Your new avatar image Julie… ;)

I really am laughing out loud!

Well, thank you. But I really, really want to be bad and tough so that should count for somethin’…

I don’t know Julie you seem pretty nice to me,You might have to work pretty hard to get your grinch badge.

Once I get Grinchiness under my belt, I will expect to be called Her Grinchness. (Many people who know me would say that I have already arrived although that isn’t what they call me…)

Julie,Don’t feel left out mental illness is not a desirable asset,it makes normal things and hard things even harder or at least a little slower. But Grinchiness can be obtained by anyone with just a little practice!

Golly, I feel so left out: David is dyslexic and Karl is bipolar. Oh, almost forgot, the color on the bottle states “Blonde” so that is my ‘ailment’. Also forgot about the training I am going through to become a Grinchess – maybe wouldn’t be doing that if I wasn’t blonde. OR, maybe it is all old age…..

Thank you, Colonel, for helping people with their Avatars: once you solve the current pet peeve, we will have to come up with another one.

Or you can email me the photo and I will re-size it for you and send it back. The avatars are 200 pixels X 200 pixels

Thanks for responding. It will not let me expand the crop area. It just stays small in the corner.

Hi Peter,

I hope this helps.

Does anyone know why I can’t “crop” my avatar picture? It will only let me show the corner of the photo. Thanks in advance.

I call it getting old. Do the test you never Know?

Good morning Julie! David I’m not dyslexic as far as i know but am bipolar which often causes problems with information processing. I have been a cabinet maker for over 20 years yet i have days when i am unable to transfer a mesurement to a board so i sometimes have to make a pencil mark on my tape mesure to get the job done…frustrating!

David, Thank you for the education: I think I might be a little too critical sometimes. Maybe I’m in training to become a Grinchess….

Sorry Julie, I know i am also not up to scratch but I think I know i have Dyslexia. If my spell check broke I would be doomed . Grammar she died a long time ago lovely lady. Dyslexia is not that you are thick just wired up different. Famous People with the Gift of Dyslexia You would not believe and i bet this as only scratched the surface.

So Carl you may be smarter than you think? May seem a little unfair but academics don’t always make the most money or success.

Hope this post helps someone.

Three cheers for you Julie! I got to admit though I’m the worst at grammar and spelling…i even had to refer to your post to see how to spell grammar.LOL!

Karl, I did my first ‘community service’ today: go to the new forum, “Is this a true inventin site” (damn, I wish people would learn to spell and/or use proper grammar)

I’m with you, Karl. And the worse generic avatars are the man but with a woman’s name. Maybe its not just me who is confused about that person’s sexuality: maybe that is a subtle way of coming out.
