A (they) R (are) Really Changing!

Good grief. I am such a fuddy duddy when it comes to change. I'm the mouse that can't find the cheese if you move it!

Boy, was I shocked to see our pictures there. People Picture

I've been gone all day on Real Estate appointments and missed a lot of the hoopla. Last night I went to comment on someone's blog and there in the glory and her beauty was Debe Maxwell....her shining smile from the comment above. Ugh. I thought, "now, how on earth does she have the time to do that!" although I liked it.

Running through my mind was.....

Let's see, First I write my comment and then hit save so I don't lose it and then I simply insert .jpg into each meticulous comment and space it correctly, wait for it to load and then I'm only ten minutes older....no way.

The brilliance of our AR Gods is just amazing. When I commented today I, for some reason, looked back and there I was! Wow! AR you are just doing some really cool stuff. AR is turning into a finely oiled machine yet is becomming more and more personalized as we speak. Thank you for this bonus! It is so nice to know we are appreciated!

Okay, I need to do another picture because that one is six months old but hey...I love it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING FOR US! I LIKE THE NEW PLAN.

Katy Kat, It's good to "see" you! Literally.

Angelia, I'm not sure what the breaking point is. It may be like Kat said and have not had time for all yet.

John, I do have an outside blog with AR and that could be it! Plus I pay for Localism. It could come down to something as simple as that.

Lori, I'm sure it's yet to come then. That all sounds reasonable to me.

We will all be "seeing" each other soon.

Deb, I always thought what they are doing now is a good idea, because it is a person talking to you or in the case of Todd Clark's old profile, a baseball home plate diamond. I think it is cool. You see the person now. More lovely Debs all over the place later in the Rain!! LOL.

Gina, I can't keep up with all those. I'm just use to AR! Good luck to you my friend.

Colleen! I see you my friend! I'm sure it's just taking some time.

Gail, a penny for a picture...LOL.

Jeannette, I'm so glad. I couldn't see them turning you away! That could be a lawsuit and a real trauma! Thank heavens. Talk to you soon. bye little piggie.......(inside joke)

Gary, I kinda like Todd's baseball diamond although I like your face better. It is really nice to see one's mug. I have a coffee mug that say's "I'm getting use to your mug" given to me by my best cousin Nancy.

BTW, I do like the pic of Todd's family too!

I love this place.

Bill, I wondered the very same thing! I thought it was a new trend that I would try to have to match....thank heavens it's a gift to us all.

Enjoy. I love seeing your faces with the comments. It's sooooo personal.

Hi Deb! Aren't you so sweet! Thanks for the compliment but, hey, I DON'T have alot of time on my hands and every single chance I get to make a few comments on AR, I'm HERE!

Funny but, I read Brad's post early this morning and determined that when they decided to make the change on the 16th, that I would be among many to have a VIP indication somewhere on our blog! Then, I saw Bill's and several others' photos pop up on a post that I was commenting on right after that! I think that if you have purchased Localism spots or paid for an outside blog, you are considered a 'VIP' and your photo will be in your comments. I think that is SO awesome--I just wish that some of the others were 'paying customers' so I could see their faces--I just love this idea!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Debe, you are welcome and I mean it. The faces of my friends have become as important to me as the sunlight in the mornings. I thank you for your contributions and for being here with your beautiful smile.

Okay, I get it. The fact that we pay to be here is what is giving us the ranking. Well that makes sense. That gives each and every one of us the opportunity to be an EQUAL within the system. AR has to make money or why even be in business?

If we don't support them they may not be able to be here...so what then?

Enjoy, everyone! Later in the rain~Deb

Deb—Debe Maxwell in Charlotte is correct. I didn't have my photo when commenting until I upgraded to an outside blog... then it appeared like magic. I do like the advantage of having a face with the name. I just posted a new entry and wanted to give the lady who inspired the idea credit, but I can't recall her name. I've asked for help in the comment section on my latest posting hoping to locate her!.

Marchy, I think they just started this. I do think it's pretty nice. Later in the rain ~ Deb

Kathy, that's one way to buck the system! It'll take a little extra time but ... oh well! I like your face.

Jeannette, you're not there yet? What's the deal.

Linda, yep, a little upgrade is good.

Thanks so much for the compliment!

I don't understand why I have to put my own in there. I HAVE ugraded to outside blog but still don't appear. I guess they are moving slow. OH WELL..it's not that important TO ME to see my face each & every time, but it sure is nice to see all of your faces!! Happy SELL'ng!

I agree the pictures are kind of cool, but as much as I post and comment, I will look like I'm even on here more, I'm not sure that is a good thing.

It is nice to see the pictures next to the comments. As you and Roy suggested I put a photo rather than my branding into my AR photo slot, I guess I'll have to find or create a good picture of myself. :(

Deb Deb! You are right, AR is just getting more and more personalized and adding all kinds of cool tech stuff as we go along. Makes you wonder what they will come up with next doesnt it? lol Your pic looks great btw no need to change it, it's you!
