Sheila, I do agree with you about the moving avatars (and also for people with slow connections, they are probably bit/byte hungry!) yet somehow the bug and the elephant are just so silly that they really got me. :-) I agree about that sewing stitching avatar; I love it, too!
At the risk of being unpopular, I want to say that I am not nearly as much a fan of Tri low as the rest of the group is. I think I will start a separate thread for this.
