Welcome!

You can do a google search for "make an avatar", and there are some sites where you can size any pic down to the specified size.

I don't do well with the languages of Western Europe, but you are from the Flanders region? A lot of history there!

In Belgium, do you see many 1889 Belgian Mausers made by Hopkins & Allen? I have been after one for a long time!

Best regards!! Steve

Hi there.
Nope, not many belgian Mausers around anymore.
Even at militaria shows they're few and far between.
I must admit I've never checked the makers on the few I saw, I always supposed they were belgian made ...
Best regards,
A

Andrey,

Here's a link for resizing photos to be used as avatars.

And I am a poor host today! :thnk:

I forgot to offer you the gift often given to new members: a kitty! In any color you wish as long as you wish for black ears and blue eyes!

On your next visit here, you have but to appear at:
#123 South Main Street
Haystack, Nebraska

and the lovely Roxette will present you with a furry little bundle of joy! 8-)

When I was a new member here a few years ago, the membership voted me a little kitty, and he has been a great companion! :bigrin:

I have not been able to give any more of him away, though... for some reason, the female cats do not wish his company. :-?

Women!

Good afternoon guys.

Thx for the welcome.
I've been to the states a couple times; travelled around New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Colorado, Texas (I love Texas!). Never to nebraska though. Thx for the offer on the kitten but that wont't work. Our pet nowadays is a white/gray rat my son brought home. Funny fellow (the rat).
Before I've had fishes, ferret, boa constrictor, hamsters, dogs, horses, turtles, rabbits, roosters. In our backyard we have songbirds, a hedgehog who visits sometimes, a red squirrel, and bats. And wild pigeons of course.
Best Regards, A

Andrey,

My daughter has 2 pet rats now. Both are known as "Dumbo" rats. they were bred to have big round ears down on the sides of their head. They are the best pets. Ride around on your shoulder & have a great old time. Never pee outside if their cage either (which is nice :bigrin:

)
