That's right. You read this right. Grandpa Bob (me) has changed. My avatar that is. Seeing as my daughter seems to hate this "homeless cap" I figured I'll use this as my new avatar. So what do you think? Is the cap me or what? Or should I go back to my old one? I won't change for a week at least though. Do you change your avatar for any particular reasons? Or do you ever change it? What makes you change and or decide on what photo etc to use? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I still don't see how your daughter thinks that as a homeless hat. Oh, well. Yup, like your new avatar and yes I think that hat suits you. As for my avatar. That's a photo I scanned from a book, called "Your Magical Cat" by Gerina Dunwich...I taught myself computers only four or five years ago, and when I needed some kind of avatar for different forums thought that photo suited me to a "t" and I've used it faithfully ever since. The only time I changed my avatar, was for a week here, when many of us were known as the "puppy brigade" due to a friend here...uh, think you know the story behind that

Okay you gotta see him when we go out. With the homeless hat on and his face looking in need of a good shave and his asthma kicking in he looks so homeless. But you know ill see be seen in public with ya no matter how homeless you look.

I also taught myself how to use a computer. I worked at a manufacturing company that gave the employees a %50 discount on custom built comps so I got one. Got online then started asking questions. Before I knew it I had people sending me IMs and emails asking me for comp help. Cute avatar by the way. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

If I'm not mistaking, there's a saying that we should change -for GOOD. But this is obviously for the better, GrandPa. I like the cap and the way you strike the pose, you look more groovy!;) As for my avatar, I changed it though it's the same character I am using ever since. I'm not sure when will I'll change it again, since I saw another animated gif and saved it on my desktop just in-case I need another change!;)

LOL I have been popping in every so often and have not seen you and tonight I get 2 threads for m you in a row. The other one I lost so have to go find it again. I like your hat, and I like your avvy as well. I would keep this one as long as you are wearing the hat around, at least. It will give us a current view of you!

that's still you. only without your family. I like this one better. the other one is too crowded. I change my avatar many times. I change it whenever I want. but I like humorous avatar, only I don't know how to create one, and once I used free avatar then it disappeared.

Oh, this avatar is definitely a winner Grandpa Bob! The cap looks like a beenie to me. Is it one? I'm asking because my husband oftentimes wears beenies this way! LOL He likes to spike them and mold them into different shapes. :P

Hi Grandpa Bob! Long time no see! How you been? I think your new avatar is fine. The decision is yours which one to use. For me my avatar has only changed a few times because nice purple teddy bears are kind of hard to find on the internet. I have been using this one since just before Christmas, but I think I'm going to keep it on. Don't quote me though incase I change my mind lol. Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

The hat doesnt affect our relationship at all. If anything was gonna affect it....it would have to be him telling me my butt is huge. Happy familys can pick on each other and not get upset right homeless bob.

hahaha, when the bible said 'fathers do not exasperate your children' i guess it had you in mind. you're making it your avatar just to annoy your daughter! well, hope she sees past your antics. i have not changed my avatar since the start because i think it helps my friends recognise my discussions and respond. also i guess i am partly lazy. don't feel like searching for a new avatar that i can identify with.

I can see why your daughter calls it the homeless cap because so many of the homeless wear one. It's not a bad thing but rather a very warm and comfortable hat so there's nothing really wrong with it. If it's your thing, then wear it all you want. lol My avatar is fitting to my screen name but I like changing it to fit the holidays but with cats and dogs in the picture however, I couldn't find any for Valentines Day so I'm keeping what I have.

Thanks bunches. (I think) Hahahaha!! I need a warm cap. This one isn't my warm one though. I have a very thick gray stocking cap for the warmth factor. But I don't wear that one too often as it is huge looking when on my head. Not that I don't already have a big head. Hee hee hee! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDFPA BOB !!~
