Suggestions, please! I need an avatar! I can't seem to find anything small enough.
Edited on Sun Apr-29-07 12:45 PM by Radio_Lady
Given what you know or think about me, if anything, I'd like your input.

Thanks.

PS. If this drops like a stone, I may consider making lunch for myself.

I sort of like this picture "Radio Lady listens..." but I can't get it into the right size. Very small, it's almost indecipherable.

2. This is where we made love one summer's day -- and we already had five kids!
The miller caught us and told us to pull up our pants and go home. Oh, those hot, hungry days of yesteryear...

3. You have to choose something that can be cropped down
i.e. all of the extra stuff cut out. I'm sure once you find a picture that you like, lots of folks on here would help you crop it. Why not do a google image search on an old-timey radio?

6. Thanks... I've been through a couple of radio images...
I'm not into radios from the past -- that's more a technology thing, plus that makes me feel... well... OLD!

5. Thanks, Ptah, but to me, it looks like a woman in a pink dress with a chocolate birthday cake!
Vacuum tubes look like candles.

I'll try to come up with something else. I just don't know how to REDUCE the picture size and hubby is getting a shot in his foot for a heelspur or some crap today.

7. The artist gave me permission to use this one. However, on close inspection...
it looks like one of the other children is looking up the little girl's dress. Inappropriately so.

10. I see what you mean. But now she looks like she's two years old...
or carrying the Torah (the first five books of Moses, old testament, on scrolls).

13. I tried to turn this into an avatar, but again, it doesn't shrink well.
You might like it as a sig, though.

15. Well, that's pretty nice, actually! Could use a different type face because the
slim parts of the letters R and O are lost!

Thanks for doing this for me.

19. Your avatar -- what does it mean? No....... something. Please enlighten me.
I like the "V" for victory -- it's a peace sign, right?

It always reminds me of the "rabbit ears" that kids (and some grown-ups) hold behind the subject's head when taking a photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21. Hey, we're going to Paris! I'll bet they have wonderful little Italian restaurants there.
Edited on Tue May-01-07 01:27 AM by Radio_Lady
I'd never go to any chain restaurant in a major city -- after all, in Paris, Brussels, London, and Edinborough, there will be so many excellent choices.

Besides that, I'm dieting -- trying Froodia Fruit Bars (hoodia from south African cactus), as well as portion control, menu adjustments and some temporary dental work -- which will keep me on a light diet while I travel.

You're a devil, Kali!

But I love ya anyway!

Happy May Day -- May 1st, -- also Cinco de Mayo on the 5th, and Mother's Day as well, if you're a mother, etc. etc.

Here's something pretty -- our local movie reviewer posted it to his web site:
