Yes, both avatar and rainbow are my pictures. I try to use only my things these days. I have used a few Joke type pics in the past in my profile. But as time passes, and I get more acquainted with my new Sony zoom digital, I can take my own now. I prefer showing MY life these days. My previous sig pic was a crystal ball I made this past winter out of quartz and citrine I purchased on Ebay. This was my old signature pic:

My old capsule avatar which is now in my profile, I found in an old pharmacy magazine (about 10 yrs old), and I then worked on it in my graphics program to change it and make it work well when shrunk down. It no longer resembles the original.

I am amazed at the commercials too... some of them have this ending where the voice over goes thru the side effects (required by FDA)...and sometimes it includes DEATH. There used to be a cartoon that was made to mimic this peculiar aspect of drug advertising. I'll see if I can find it again. It is pretty funny.
I found it.... but it has some elements that are not appropriate to post here..so I am sending it
to you via PM.
