Let me tell you. A few weeks ago I was talking to someone with whom I thought we had a great understanding, until I realized how wrong I was. To say it in figurative terms, the person in question wasn't listening to the same music I was listening to, as though I had the headphones on instead of the loudspeakers. As a result, my music apparently "sounded silent", like my user title states at this moment, so when I finally realized about this incompatibility, I decided to commemorate such an awakening of mine by choosing the corresponding image, plus matching user title. It may not make much sense to everyone, but at the time it seemed good imagery to me I hope it's clear now. However, I'm soon to change it again, since my moods are somewhat fluctuating lately.
Max that is a wonderful story thanks for sharing that - I never suspected that there was a story like that behind the avatar - I just thought you liked music or something. I take it back completely. I hope that the misunderstanding didn't cause you too much distress.
Olga, Olga, Olga, tut, tut. You see I got to the end of your post and all the time I thought it was Brian shouting down at me in a bad mood (he had a cat avatar before you see) it's all terribly confusing for me - I was about to say "easy on Brian there old pal" but then I realised it wasn't him speaking at all. This is one of the problems I have when people change their avatars all the time - it disturbs me somewhat, it's very confusing for me you know.

I have allergy in spring when poppy blossom, though I haven't stopped loving poppy flowers.
Yes but poppy blossom doesn't jump up at you, rub again your leg and get in the way!

Isn't it just kind of laziness?
Indeed, but it is noble laziness. While I save time and money by not mucking out animals or taking dogs for walks at 6am in the frost I'm doing other things, much more rewarding things like drinking fresh coffee or reading.

Agree with you, I feel the same when people talk about their kids or grandkids showing their pictures, talking how talented they are and you must show interest and say 'Oh, what a nice child!' meanwhile you are looking for an excuse to finish this dull conversation.
Oh yes I know, hell is other people for sure, but we must endure I suppose.

I would like to express my disagreement with you about this...
Oh, OK, OK, it's too early, I'm sure cats have some redeeming features, but the one my mum owned when I was younger simply took advantage of our hospitality. You would never see the damn thing in summer, but in the winter it would steal the best spot in front of the fire (and make me sneeze) it treated our house like a hotel and didn't pay into the bargain!

You made me smile when I read this comment. No I am not sure at all that I want to use this avatar forever but for the moment I don't have anything better. Plus it is a beautiful image isn't it? :-)
Ha, ha so underneath that hard exterior there is a smile after all breaking through the clouds. OK, I don't want to push you to change your avatar, we all have to make our own choices in life, good or bad, right or wrong, but there is always something better out there in the realms of art. Good luck in your hunting!
