    For a picture of myself just see my avatar. It's accurate enough, right down to the black cat.

    @Dragonpol

    That's the best avatar on here anyway! Totally love it. It's so groovy-classic-chic.

    Mine is me as well by the way. Yes really ha ha....and it's Zurich in the background. My hometown.

    Yes, it's taken from the front cover of a 1920s German novel called The Man with the Devil Eyes. It was just made for the Lord @Dragonpol!

    Is that the moment right before you strangle your psychiatrist?

    Yes. Always works for me. I call it the Locque Method.

    My productivity with and participation on this forum has gone from 100% to 0 in the past couple of days, and all thanks to this little fella, the newest edition to my family, a two month old Cocker Spaniel named Cooper (the other animal in the pictures is yours truly):

    I've already felt a noticeable change in things with him around, not least of which in myself, as I don't feel as susceptible to cynicism or depression with this guy near. Just a small part of the mind-bending and indescribable impact dogs can have on a life.

    I concur. Dogs are animals we don't deserve, but what silly luck they're with us.

    Have fun, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7; I’ve got two English Goldens and, when life starts kicking you in the wrong way, these dogs will always be there in the right way!!

    Cute little dog, Brady. I've had a kitten called Millie since September and a pet certainly does lift one's mood. Millie is over 5 months now. I also have an cat called Kitty as well. She's over 5 years old.

    That's great news Brady!

    I was mostly cynical from the time I was 12 years old until just recently, and it got me very little. I think it's a kind of defense mechanism for the confused or demoralised. But unlike depression, it's something we self-impose and therefore can remove from ourselves at any moment.

    What's the little tykes name? :)

    Beautiful dog, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7. You give him all your love and he'll do the same in return. I've had my big spoiled baby for nearly nine years now, and any cynicism and depression goes right out the door when she's in the room.

    @Dragonpol, it shouldn't surprise you that that joke has been made many times in this household. ;)
    I was mostly cynical from the time I was 12 years old until just recently, and it got me very little. I think it's a kind of defense mechanism for the confused or demoralised. But unlike depression, it's something we self-impose and therefore can remove from ourselves at any moment.
    @Mendes4Lyfe, cynicism certainly is a state of mind, but one that I find comes from a place of some rationality, as it comes from a reaction to what one sees in the world. But it is as susceptible as everything to distortion. I'm trying to find my own happiness now, and hoping that I can leave what I don't need behind. But when you feel jammed up or static in place, those feelings of cynicism come in, especially when you observe parts of the world around you. Dogs help.

    @Agent_99, the biker is my dad. Big into biking, and from my time knowing you I'm sure you two would have a lot to talk about. He can rattle off random facts about random bikes he sees on TV, will give the year and model number of the thing alongside some history behind it, and all the rest (he's got a good mind for cars too). He's also a very prolific rider himself, and takes a lot of time to drive some of the windiest roads in the states with some of his biker friends. His bike is like his kid, and he takes meticulous care of it.

    You can tell the truth now. Cooper is named after Cooper in CR’67...right?

    @Benny, never seen CR'67, so that reference is a bit lost on me. So I guess that's a no to your question. ;)

    I'd be highly surprised if it was the origin of Cooper's name. :)
    And just so you know, my surname isn't Hill.

    @OBrady congrats on the addition of the family! Cooper looks like one fun little sport! And he's named after Dan Cooper no doubt!

    About the cynisism, this one you might find interesting:

    Not sure how well known Dan Cooper is in America. I am guessing Gary or Dale.
