subconciously change how we respond to someone?

For example... now Stray Kitten has a picture of a cute kitten will we all be very gentle in our posts to her?

LOL I suspect that some people would look at my red rose and decide to go for the secateurs to give me a good 'pruning' ;)

Well, I think the suspicious look on my face is enough to people off responding to me..... :D

:D :D :D Aww Rose my Dad always told me the best Roses were left wild and not pruned ..

As for stray well isn't she always treated gentle ..

Mind it's a good thought but I wonder if the choice of pic tells us about the person...now when I can get one on shall I go for the cute doggy or a dragon ....or maybe those waving palm trees on our beach ! ;-)

been "playing around" with my avatars trying to find the one I like . not got many pictures of me so have settled now on maternal Gran Jessie taken in 1939 . Takes me back to sitting with her in the 1950,s when i was pregnant with our daughter and she regaled me with her stories of mum and the family when they were young . Wish i could remember them now though would have saved a few bob. :D

Mine suddenly took me to files but not before I searched everywhere because the 'change' had moved down underneath left of the picture instead of next to it. I was going to use a lizard but opted for a butterfly instead. Not sure what that says about me :D :D :D :D
