Twelve years on the forum

[JonathanD]

I've kept the wee South Park teacher avatar. I built up the detail, but it can't really be seen. She has a wee knife in her hand and she's wearing OD and my (the only colour I could get back then other than dayglo orange or green) high UV protect with the neck cover, lightweight hat.
I still have the hat
There were dozens of those characters used as Avatars too.

I’d forgotten about the little knife. You can still see it when you click on your profile though.

I haven't responded to this thread because I didn't think I belonged to the 12 year plus club but I wasn't doing my maths proper! It's good to see so many that are still participating . There are some notable members we don't see now though

Never mind animated avatars, I cant seem to use emojis on here for some reason?

 

[Broch]

Think it was when the site changed and diddn't support animated gif's - no real issue and to be quite honest quite app that I don't move half as much now as I once did

Was it coincident, or did that happen after I put up the 'bouncy' Charlotte Church gif; I remember Toddy taking offence (only joking).

You just hit the emoji icon on the toolbar. Loads on there.

When we get hit with 'concerned members' then we really have to come down one side or t'other...usually

I wish the huge smilies weren't quite so humongous though.

I kind of "Recognise" a lot of member by thier avatars, confuses the life out of me when they change.

The only change I've made to mine is the beard has turned grey over time.

Same here.

 

[Toddy]

The red in my hair has gone snow white
I reckon that if I were male then the beard would have gone white.
Tell you what's scary; seeing white hair on your child!
Son1 had a lot of red in his very dark hair and beard, and those strands are snow white in his beard now.
His hair is still down to his waist and it's as dark as mine was. Then again, my hair has only shown white fairly recently.

I don't understand it, I'm not getting any older, but one of my grandchildren is suddenly a teenager, my son is going grey, and there's a strange man in the mirror

Oh, and a 56Lb bag of potatoes I used to chuck on the farm trailer has jumped up to 100Lb! (it must have done, I can't shift it)

The floor seems a lot further away than it used to be too.

At least it seems to be a lot more of a climb getting up from it.

Oh I get down on the floor to do something or other.....and then I think, "What else can I do while I'm down here ?"
It's such an effort getting up now if everything stiffens up.
