When I was assigned to the Vehicle Crimes Unit, which is an undercover position, a guy I had worked with in uniform sent me the picture and suggested I go for that look. I liked it so much I made it my avatar.
What is the significance of your Avatar?

Great Show. Great actor. I was sad when he passed....Tony Sirico from The Sopranos, my favorite TV show. I adore it
Hello Mr farmer, haven't spoke to you in a while. Still waiting for you in Jackson tennessee. Take care.
It's me, though not as handsome as the @HoosierTrooper avatar.
I thought so too hahaha
Lunch box for me.
Oh my. I honestly thought it was a picture of George Harrison and Frank Sinatra backstage somewhere!
That's what I get for only using my TracFone for perusing Badger and Blade doggone!!!
Truly? I've ALWAYS wanted to know but was afraid to ask!
I am ashamed of myself for not looking you up last year when I saw the incomparable @dmshaver . David is a great guy, but I'm certain that he is nowhere near as incredibly handsome as you and I.
@Sukeroku found the bookplate of King C. Gillette which had my screen handle (much in little) as his personal motto on it 
About 13 years ago I had a cardiac arrest due to blood clots. One of the medicines the doctors put me on was Warfarin. It was introduced as a poison for pest control mainly for rodents in 1948. Later researchers found it useful for medical uses. An anticoagulant to prevent blood clots.
There has since been new medications added to control clotting.
Hence the nickname: Ratpoison

I certainly am not! Nor do I pretend to be. I am simply grateful the Honorable @FarmerTan agreed to be seen with me in publix! I hope to share a meal again with you, my friend!
Lol, me and the lovely War Department call it that too! I've been on it since 2006 when I had my mitral valve replaced with a titanium one. I had a frontal lobe stroke once after I'd been on it for a little over a year after an ablation. All the symptoms went away though so I don't complain much anymore. I'll be on the rat poison as long as I live, and hope I die before the hangman catches up to me!
Funny you should mention .....Did I ever tell you what I do for a living....

Not that BTW.....
Man, you have been through ringer too. Can the doctors move you to Eliquis? I was put on that about 3 years ago, don't have to worry about INR blood work & vitamin K restrictions.
No, Eliquis won't werk fer artificial heart valves. I THINK there are 12 clotting factors in blood, and the medicines are not compatible unfortunately. In studies in Europe, on admittedly almost dead people, the new generation of anticoagulants don't werk on artificial valves.
One of the reasons I just have to believe in intelligent design......the watch demands a watchmaker.
Mine is Om, an anciet Hindu symbol representing oneness. It is also a sound that some people chant when they meditate.
Mind you, I am not Hindu nor do I meditate. But, I chose it anyway.
To me, shaving is my meditation. It is one of the few times per day (however brief) that I can slow down, be by myself and do something with a singular focus. BTW, I usually shave at night following a shower. Great way to unwind for bed.

Oh wow that blows. But at least the symptoms went away. Hopefully one day you can get off the poison.
