RN, I have so much work to do and I just can't get motivated. RN, it's supposed to get up to 100 today so it's hard to imagine snow somewhere else.

RN, we only have about 10 inches of snow left since it got up to 40 degrees yesterday and the sun melted a lot of it. i went to the store today and some people's power was off for 2 full days. guess we were lucky to have it off for only 15 hours! this afternoon dd and i are going to play bingo at the indian casino. we went at christmastime and dd won 400 dollars! hope one of us wins tonight! dh went back to los banos today to do some things around the house. he'll be back friday maybe and dd and i have to head back down there on saturday afternoon. another 6 weeks and we'll all be up here fulltime! it's so beautiful and i can't wait to fish and camp and hike!

RN, where i learned to post images, this is what the 'rules' said, and why i cut my pics to 40k. <<<Lesson 3: Posting images: The current size limit for posting images is 40k. This capability will likely be turned off during BB to due to the sheer number of posts on the board, but most of the rest of the year we do have the capability and space to accomodate gifs and jpegs. Your image must be in one of those 2 formats already downloaded on your hard drive before you try to post it on the board>>>

right now, i was always told by draheid it's 60kb and 600x600. i use irfanview (which he recommended) and just hit resize, then make the largest size of the image at 500 pixels, and i never have a problem making a pic fit and that's why my pics are the size they are. you can download irfanview here: http://www.irfanview.com/

RN, thanks, Tebs. Didn't know that about 40KB. But, when you enlarge dimensions, it doesn't necessarily zip up the KB size. For example, Here are those same pics (above) with the dimensions upped to 300% of your posted originals:
It's size is only 15.3 KB, despite upping the dimensions
This one is now 21.3 KB, despite the now-bigger dimensions. This one looks fuzzy, so it's best to go back to your original to resize. When I use the pic you posted (instead of the original), though, I have now tried going smaller (200%)--which should result in a clearer pic. Here it is at 200%:
And the KB size is now 12.1
And this one is now 17.1 KB in size with the enlarged dimensions the result of making it 300% of the one you posted here originally.

RN, I did it! I tried to post this pic yesterday but it was too large. Using the info here today I made it work. RN, by the way, this is Nahum, Travis' new nephew that was born on Saturday. He was 2 months early, but he's doing great.

Right now that photo of baby Nahum brings back so many memories of Sam. Sam was about a month or so early and he was hooked up to alot more stuff, so I would say that Nahum must be doing great...just like you said Native! What a sweetie.

RN, it is amazing that he is doing so well, especially since he had just been fished out of a toilet about 4 hours earlier and had already flown in a helicopter before I took that picture. Needless to say, he had a very busy morning.

RN, what an entry into the world! Welcome, Sweetheart! Nahum is a fighter, I'd say! Thanks for sharing, NT! Love to see pics of him as he develops over the years. (Any story behind the name?)

RN, HP, I don't know why Mom and Dad chose that name. I do know they are very devout in their faith and that Nahum was a minor prophet in the Old Testament and the name means "comforted."

NT, is there more to that toilet story? Did his mom just think she was going to the bathroom and got a surprise?

Julie, yes. She had been sent home from the hospital the night before after being told she was not in labor. Being young, not too bright and not due until June, she didn't question them.

Right now, that's the baby that fell into the toilet? I expected something that looked way less like a newborn baby. I read the story in another thread earlier.

RN, this non-reality show gal is watching Remember the Titans, a year 2000 film I'd never seen before. Enjoying it!

RN, yes it sure was, Retired! Today couldn't be more beautiful. Although the temp is up higher than I like it (71F now, at 10:39), there is a wonderful wind blowing and absolutely no humidity. Herc and I had a gorgeous morning walk at Brandywine Creek State Park. While I rested on a rock before our turnaround leg, I spotted a nice-sized owl flying gracefully (and powerfully!) from one wooded area to another. Magnificent sight!
The owl had an all-over beigy appearance, so I think I am right that the bird I saw was an eastern screech owl.

RN, it's beautiful here too. Upper 50's at the moment, but supposed to get near 80 again today. Great weather and I'm stuck inside. I'm about to go clean the kitchen up and mop the floor the old fashioned way, on my hands and knees. It's in desperate need of it since it's been a while. After that it's picking up the living room (kids cleaned it last night.) Then a quick wipe down on the bathroom. I may start going through the kids toy box today, but I am thinking I might set aside a day next week instead to do it, where I can get it done in a few hours without them knowing what I'm doing, lol.
