Congratualtions Lynne on 5000 posts!

I've been wondering about your new avatar. The woman looks familiar to me. Now that everybody and their brother compliment you on it, I conclude the woman in the pic might be you!
Anyway, I also like your new avatar. Whether it's you or another woman, she looks great.

Thanks, Artiste!  In this context, an avatar is the picture that you have to the left of your posts and under your screen name, your First Peoples graphic.

In general, an avatar refers to the representation or embodiment of something.  Your avatar is one way of showing how you choose to represent yourself on BetterMost.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 5,000 POSTS LYNNE!!!

And your avatar can change like mine has so many times. By the way I like your new avatar too Lynne.

The first time I ever heard of an avatar was actually on the show "Port Charles" but in this case the avatar was a monster type person dressed in a big hooded jacket. I sure do miss that show    Here is what that avatar looked like:
