A “BIG” thank you, To all the member’s of ACC for Showing the real you, Avatar’s are OK, --- --- like a bumper sticker on the rear end of your car, it make’s a comical statement or a worm statement, sometimes a scary statement.
I realy like your smiling face statements -- matched with the worm and caring words of wisdom that you share with all of us at ACC.
Seeing your smile really adds a lot to the authenticity --- or signature if you will to a post or thread.
We identify with each other growing up --- all threw life -- face to face -- and have grown accustom to this kind of stand up “I see you” I’m here see me -- connection.
This other Avatar stuff that came along with the internet movement always seemed ---- well like there trying to hide something or are insecure with them selves, or don’t like how they look....
I don’t know, I was just sitting here this morning and thinking back over the years how all the people I have made a deep connection with -- and remembering there faces is much more friendly to me some how,-- I just don’t seem to remember a bumper sticker in a sea of car’s like I do a casual glance at the driver.
I don’t know I feel still some how its just not right to address another person with a bumper sticker when your putting your self forwards. What are some of your thoughts on this.
If your talking from behind an avatar why?
As for me -- I feel much more respect in speaking to a face, mainly a smiling one. I feel like I’m actually being heard talking to a face than a picture that in all rights, 'should be on a wall' some where.
And for all that are and have shown there real self here, much gratitude and respect for your honesty Thanks ---- John

As Spirit we enterd this world complete, no need for any stinking thinking, yet they shuved it down our throats anyway, we are complete always will be. i am complete, -- so complete, never can be anything else but complete. spirit dosn't get dumbed down mind is week. spirit is complete.
frends, Friends, ffrenddds, you are complete.
I don't mean to ofend anyone with my avatar , it,s just a picture. Anyone wanting to see me as what I look, may enter my page and view it's content.I like checking peoples pages to read things about them and make my own decissions if I resonate with that person. Since, this is long distance internet which does not provide in person experience I can see why so many choose to remain incognito. Also, how can one be sure that person in picture is the same in real life. For example many folks use their pictures from yrs or decades ago where the apperance was different , which actually I don't undestand and for me indicates that there is something to hide but again I don't judge that; it's only a refrence to this posts .
Sure if I was having in person interaction with another , I would mind talking to paper bag over someones head but on the internet I care less.
I sometimes feel that internet had become a medium to whine and complain about issues that I call silly . There are so many examples of avatars perfectly fitting persons posts, blogs , personality and responces that many times a persons picture becomes unneccesary addition.
Your avatar resembles you assiya
its a good choice
It helps to know what a person looks like
Face is the index of the mind
Wise man sayeth
One very simple answer, to all this is face to face Skype. after astablishing a fair amount of friend ship before doing so.
and what if Skype is not the option ? due to not having that in persons computer..........................
Wait 10 minutes and skype will be obsolete, too I guess holograms will be the next jump in software. Or just meet ups, face to face as a lot have done over the years. That is if there was never anything to hide. skype is free down load, if you have a web cam your set.
People who run from all these methods of validation I wouldn’t want to meet anyway.
lj.......".............................I wouldn't want to meet ".......oh well, thanks for response anyway........
