GTKY Monday - avatar, screen name, siggy pics etc

pb_bride · February 2013

Good morning ladies, and Happy monday! Hope you all had a good weekend.

This week I am curious about the pics you chose to be your avatar. On TB, the picture is so tiny that I cannot always see what's depicted. So here it goes:

What is the picture you use as your avatar?

What does your screen name represent?

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them?

What is the picture you use as your avatar? It's a picture of Towelie from South Park. Started out as a joke eons ago when I posted on the old GP board, but kind of stuck with me. I changed it to a Phoenix bird around the time of my IVF, but decided to bring back the classic for good!

What does your screen name represent? My initials my DOB. Original, I know.

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them? I have a picture of Barrett in his 5 months onesie. I change this pic each month, though we are having fancy pics taken next month, so I may use one of those if it goes well.

My pic is one of our wedding photos. It is a black and white of MH carrying me into the ocean. We got married on the beach in Mexico.
My screen name is my initials and year I was born. Clever, huh?
I don't think I have a pic in my siggy, just some silly badges. I kept meaning to put one of E's newborn photo shoot pics in there, but just never got around to it.

We could do a GTKY about what colleges or pro teams we are fans of. I'm always a huge fan of WFD (what's for dinner) posts. I am a food junkie, and love to see what other people like to eat. What about a vacation post about where we want to go on vacation, where we have been, and what our dream vacation would be? I think that's all I have.

IBackBevo · February 2013

What is the picture you use as your avatar?

It is a pic on my wedding day of DH and I.

I did have a pic of LO, but I posted on the 3TC board on a thread where someone was asking for advice and got called out on it the one (and only) time I forgot to post *PIC WARNING* before I replied. Therefore, I changed it so as to not offend anyone should I post on there again at some point in the future.

What does your screen name represent?

I Back Bevo. Bevo is the name of the Longhorn who is the mascot for The University of Texas. It has been my screen name since I was on the knot back in 2005-2006.

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them?

I have never taken the time to figure out how to post pictures in my siggy.

TJ, so THAT's what your photo is! I couldn't figure it out for the longest time, but once you described it, it's so obvious! And what a beautiful picture.

And thanks for your suggestions on GTKY topics!

pb_bride · February 2013

What is the picture you use as your avatar?

It's a picture of some lily plants we had outside our house when we were living in Dallas.

What does your screen name represent?

pb is my husband's initial. I registered on the knot when we got engaged so I chose this screen name. Didn't bother to change my screen name after I came on TB.

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them?

It's a pic of M when he was one week old. He was so tiny then and he looks so different now. It is one of my most favorite pics of him and I don't want to forget what he looked like back then.

itsmevkb · February 2013

My avatar picture is of my oldest daughter on Halloween dressed up as a garden gnome.

My screen name is pretty basic. It's saying who I am (itsme) and my initials which are vkb. The initials seem to throw people off sometimes as everyone knows me as Kelly and don't realize I use my middle name.

I took the pics out of my signature a while back when everyone was freaking out about them and at this point I just haven't taken the time to put anything back in there. My writing is so long and I don't want one of those huge siggys.

TXwife9 · February 2013

What is the picture you use as your avatar? It's a pic of DD when she was aroudn 6 months old

What does your screen name represent? Where I live, what I am, my lucky number

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them? This is a pic we took to announce our pregnancy to family this past Christmas

I totally got that costume for DD this past Halloween and had to return it because the hat wouldn't fit on her head! Poor thing has a big head. It's an adorable costume!

No help here! I'm not very good at coming up with these!

ELF4321 · February 2013

What is the picture you use as your avatar?

A daisy. Nothing too exciting, I just like them.

What does your screen name represent?

Elf is a nickname and the numbers were just because regular Elf was already used and I didn't want a string of random numbers I wouldn't remember!

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them?

No pics. I try to limit how many personal pics I post on the site because I have a nosy MIL and I need plausible deniability if she ever stumbles on this site!

Music themed -- favorite song of all time? favorite artist? first concert you ever went to? most embarassing song on your ipod/phone? do you sing in the car?, shower? karaoke? Do you make up songs for your LO?

There are probably more there, but that's all I can come up with off the top of my head.

Screen name: My name is Dana and DH was dating a girl named Deanna right before me. He kept calling me that when we first started dating and I'd get mad. So, he started calling me lovebug. And 33 is my favorite number.

I have always wanted to ask you what your first name was! Sometimes I will tell MH things Boo has done or show him her picture, and he always says, who is that again? And I feel so silly saying it's lovebug's daughter. Haha. (Hopefully that wasn't just really creepy. Sometimes I feel like you guys are my IRL friends.)

Mrs.AmyDylan · February 2013

What is the picture you use as your avatar?My pooch! She was my light, sanity and endless pot of love during IF. What does your screen name represent?Mrs + My name + my DHs name. I changed it when I crossed over from the knot to the nest. If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them? Myself and DH hiking Machu Picchu in 2011. It was our last big trip before we started IF treatments.For future polls, what about sports (played, watched, fans, etc). Traveling (past, upcoming, dream trips)Bucket list items (Maybe top 10 things to do before you die)Wheels (first car, current car, dream car)Home (childhood, currents digs - house/apt/big/small)Celebrations (how you celebrate : birthdays, Christmas/etc, favorite holiday)

Loving your GTKY monday post pb

What is the picture you use as your avatar?

My avatar is a wedding pic, my photographer took a shot of the reflection of my eye, in a mirror, when I was getting ready.

What does your screen name represent?

My screen name is an english variant of my irish name & HQ are the initials of my pets names.

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them?

I try not to post too many personal pics anymore after a friend IRL said she liked my photo on the bump! I about died as she knew nothing about my IF until then, as it turned out she opened up to me then about the fact that she & her DH were also going through IF issues & had also done IVF, go figure!

[I'm soliciting ideas for future GTKY monday threads - please feel free to propose topics.]

I like TJ's idea about food what about favorite recipies? Favorite vacation locations, hobbies.

This made me LOL because whenever I find myself thinking about you girls it's always by your bump names. Too funny.

That is so funny! I'm also on the FB site, so when I tell DH about you guys, he always says, "Real friend or Bump friend?" Makes me laugh! Like y'all aren't real people or something!

Amy, this is SO cool! I'd love to visit Machu Picchu but don't think we'll ever make it. My sis-in-law did the 5-day hike several years ago. Jealous...

yodasmistress · February 2013

What is the picture you use as your avatar?

A "Simpsonized" version of myself, courtesy of the Burger King website about 8 years ago.

What does your screen name represent?

It's the first part of my email address. That I came up with for my first email account. 15 years ago.

If you have pics in your siggy, can you describe them?

No pics. If I were to put one there it would be of my amazing kiddo though. He is the light of my life. Parenthood is better than I imagined.
