Thanks Sandy, I just hope I can repeat this feat! My right click did not produce a highlight or a copy...so I keyboarded Ctrl+c and it worked! Hope I can find the website again!!!

Horay! I got a picture in. After many tries, I might say! These are my twin grandsons with their bewildered looking big sister. They are now thirteen, and Amanda (sister) is in the army getting ready to be deployed to Afghanistan. She has already had a year in Kuwait. This is an example of my varied family.....Caucasian, Black, Hispanic and Eskimo. (My sister has Chinese grandchildren.) Love every one of them.

Irene how cute.

Sandy, your explanations of how to do things on the computer are so clear and helpful

:bigsmile: Irene, your grandkids are darling..thanks for sharing

:flowerforyou: we had a few more snowflakes this morning.....the folks a few miles south of here in the mountains got real snow....I went off and did my shopping errands this morning and now I'm having a quick and easy lunch....the dogs keep walking past me wondering when we're going to the dog park

Happy Sunday to all

I don't know what I done but I did it wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what I done but I did it wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just emailed DelrayBuzz with very concise and explicit step by step instructions. If you message me with your email address I will forward to you, too.

It is easier in an email as most folks know how to print email, and having written instructions to follow works better.

This is a photo of me, acting as MC for our 50th High School Class Reunion in July of last year. I post it as a "before" picture. Eventually there will be an "after" picture to post. I think I was about 3 pounds lighter than I am now. And yes, I did gain 15 pounds in the months since then. I had "crash" dieted for about six weeks before the event. The pants outfit I'm wearing is such a pretty color but I should have probably chosen something a little less vivid. :blushing:

Ignore this, please I am attempting to post a picture or cartoon from a site other than Photbucket, which is a site I'm not familiar with. So, off to http://www.tinypic.com to see if it's easier!


These are the only dogs I have now! I loved this little picture, as it reminds me of my recently deceased grandog, Sammy David!

Thanks, Connie, perfect instructions!]

By the way, that outfit looks great on you; I wouldn't change a thing!!!

delraybuzz

Well, I goofed in the last post from tinypics! Here is Sammy David Grandog in duplicate!



That was easy!
Sorry about the repeat; in the original, I must have deleted the last bracket, which I then edited and added!

Connie, your instructions should go into the Technical area in Community. They are great and there is a thread I could not make sense of in there on posting pictures!

delraybuzz

Irene, you have MUCH beauty to celebrate! I love the diversity within your family


celebration of life!

Connie, your instructions should go into the Technical area in Community. They are great and there is a thread I could not make sense of in there on posting pictures!

Thanks to years of volunteering in the computer lab at the Senior Center I learned how to be concise. The instructions are on their way to Calicat as we speak.

PS: Just heard from son and granddaughter. They're vegging at a hotel in St. Louis, will go to see the new Harry Potter movie tonight and will be on their way here in the morning. He is SUCH a good daddy. His late wife would be very proud of him.

I too Irene, think you look amazing and the outfit is beautiful.

I'm experimenting with a photo upload technique:



OK - so it will work. By the way, that is what an Afghan Hound looks like when he's a puppy! Almost six years ago - our little Willie.

Here's what I did. The photo above was already on a web site (Facebook). I right clicked on the image, chose properties, and then copied the path to the picture. It looked like this:

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v300/223/99/1369946249/n1369946249_55750_5770.jpg

Next, I pasted it into this post and then put again in lower case at the end. Worked slick as grease. Used upper case in my example so it would show.

So if the pictures you want to post are already online somewhere - just follow the instructions above.

I just found this on a site called Glitter Graphics :bigsmile:

Followed Connie's instructions and it worked after a couple of tries. That is my mom and dad in the middle, tall guy with lady on left from the 40's. Cool huh?

Barbie, I love your turkey.

Hi everyone!! Darn lost my post again. I was checking the temp in F which usually works fine but just because I should be in bed it sent my post in to cyberspace. I was telling you that we watched our football team play the division championship on TV this afternoon. There was snow on the ground and the temperature with the windchill was about -16F(yes, really -- 16 below!). There were still bare arms on the field but the spectators were well bundled up. We won, a close game and now go off to the final game next weekend. I hope that it is a little warmer.
I will have to get Connie's photo instructions sent to me as I am also photo challenged. It will soon be time to post some snow pictures for Marie!
Time for bed, take care and keep smiling. Gayla

Barbiecat I was trying that new web site that Connie gave us . I know how to used Photobucket. I dind't folloq instructions very good.

Sandydur

Tinypic is much simpler than Photobucket. Actually, it belongs to Photobucket but doesn't require an account.) Follow my instructions line by line.

You can do it.

I tried using Tiny Pic and it worked for me.......this is Sasha and Bernie looking out the window together

This didn't turn out right

C onnie could you e mail that back to me. somehow I lost it trying to get it save to a folder. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

delraybuzz

:sick: Marie, I know how frustrating it is! I think you are missing the URL starting with {IMG..., maybe?

My gosh those animals of Barbie's are as lovely as can be. And I could just eat up Connie's "hound"!

I want to comment on Connie's internet savvy! I think she could clear up any and every problem I ever run into! I really screwed up my e-mail program today and I should have gotten Connie to tell me, "dumbhead, what's the very last change you entered into your e-mail rules"! What an afternoon. NO MAIL DOWNLOADING! All better now, but another wasted afternoon!

Busy Doctors days (including opthalmologist) coming up, so a HAPPY TURKEY DAY, y'all, and aren't we all thankful to be here?

:flowerforyou: Connie, that is a great purple outfit you’re wearing in your picture…..thanks for all technical help---your afghan hound’s puppy picture is adorable

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I love the photo of your mom and dad, thanks for posting it

:flowerforyou: Marie, never, never, never give up, you’ll figure out this picture thing

:bigsmile: :flowerforyou: Gayla, we have snow and cold here but nothing like what you have……Jake just measured the snow and we have almost 20 cm and it’s still coming down…the temperature now is -5 C and hasn’t gone over -1 C all day…..this is really cold and snowy for us

:flowerforyou: The dogs love playing in the snow but when they come in they have so much snow in their curly hair and hunks of ice that has to be taken out of the spaces between their toes….they would love to go to the dog park but there is no way we can drive there. We live on a hill on a private road so the road doesn’t get cleared and the hill is too tricky to navigate with temperatures below freezing.

bARBIECAT i DID NOT KNOW IT GOT THAT COLD THERE? Where is the pictures?

Sandy lovely picture of your MoM snd Dad I sure have enjoy seeing all the pictures. Who are the other people.?
Getting ready to watch Skating with the stars There premire of the new show.

Uhg! I'm not doing any tracking today. I had access to a box of chocolate covered cherries.....made a mayonaise cake with coconut frosting. Four chocolates and a sliver of cake. Not a lot of food....just the wrong kind. I'm not mad at myself or discouraged, I will just do much better tomorrow. I have lost three pounds, so that is encouraging.

I'm glad we are all learning to post pictures. I enjoy that a lot. It helps us to get to know one another better. The pets are all so cute. I have new pets. Great granddaughter Mariah (4) named them today. The swordtails are Nick and Sally, and the Neons are Plantie, Watery and Coral. I could tell she was looking around in the aquarium for clues for names for the Neons.

We had a productive day . (That is her new word to learn.) We made mayonaise cake for Grandpa and a confetti cake for Thanksgiving, then we did the dishes (she rinses), had a couple of tea parties (She is Alice, I am the Madhatter), and worked on her turtles for Christmas presents for her family. They are made from walnut half shells, paper and glitter. She loves crafts and I am the only one with patience to do it with her. She announced she is spending the night, so she is wearing my t-shirt while her clothes are being washed for tomorrow. Yes, we have had a productive day. :bigsmile:
