Who are you, and what does that avatar really mean?

I am one of the truely transparent ones! My name . My face. Kinda scary. (Probably stick with it as I wasn't able to come up with anything cute or clever!)

Ridgerunner is how I was raised. Our farm was on slopes bigger than hills but not quite mountains. So, a way to call myself a Hillbilly.

I don't use an avatar, obviously. If I did, it would be of my granddaughter, but I'm not putting her picture out on the internet.

I don't know where the name came from, "the voice" in my head told me to use it. As for the pic, it was one I found online of an underwear / runway model! :gig :plbb

Ok, guess it's my turn now. I was just starting up and needed a name for my business license, and I thought, well, this work I'm starting will just bloom and get bigger and better. So Thistlebloom!

Plus, I'm sorta prickly! ;)

My avatar is my sweet boy, who was a wild range horse a guy bought at auction and turned around and resold. He was mangy, starved and so wild it took weeks before he trusted me enough to touch him. But he turned into the sweetest most buddy like horse I ever owned.
And he turned out to be a real nice looker too.

Those are the best and most loyal critters to own IMO. :)

I guess no one is waiting with baited breath, to hear about mine! What can I say- I wasn't too computer smart, when I first joined the form. Hey, it took months to even add an avatar (and Dh had to help me!) Love reading about others reasons- great idea for a post, This will bloom!!
