As Jimmy Durante used to say, "I wanna git into de act!" Help me please! I won't drink over this but I'll have sleeping problems. The dog's no help. He can't or won't figure it out!:headbange:dee |
Hi Bill you can attach photos to a post I assume the process is the same for a Mac as for a PC attachments........ you need to be in full reply mode, not quick reply... if you scroll down your page you'll see an 'attach files' box...then a 'manage attachments' button... hit the button - a new window should open - hit the browse button to find the file on your Mac - hit the upload button to upload the image to SR... assuming your pic is within the prescribed limits of size (you'll see them there when you upload) all should be well :) D |
Hi Bill. :hug: ...it seems that the photo editor recommended here is the best way to import photos from your computer: TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting |
LOL ~ snap ~ so I should have added that you have more size options with Tiny Pic. |
..or as Suze suggests, you can upload your pic to a picture sharing site which save your pic there and will give you a url to use: http:// www....etc This link explains that option: http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...our-posts.html D |
Either way, keep posting such beautiful photos guys. :) |

Tinypic refused to upload the photo unless I filled in a blank with a thing I had to reproduce to make sure I was legit.and was not scamming. I tried to do this twice and was consistently rejected as having submitted an invalid response. So Tinypic is out for me but I may try another free resizing website, kindly suggested by another member, to see whether they can help. But I must rest now, watch TV, pet the dog. Honestly I'm upset and very frustrated. My photo means a lot to me. A lot. Can't or won't explain at this point. Too upset. One thing I know. It seems obvious that the software on SoberRecovery's website is set up so no one who is not completely sober can operate it and even then it may endanger relapse for newcomers. I am thankful that I have so much sobriety that my main risk now is not drinking but depression and sleepless nights. Signing off. End of story. Sadly Bill |
Bill ~ huge hugs. ♥ Sending you my email address...if you want to, send me the photo....so much love. :hug: |

From Bill ~ ♥ "...the lilies. Case Blanca, said to be among the most beautiful and famous lilies resembling those on manuscripts and paintings of the middle ages and renaissance. They have been thought to have great spiritual and numinous significance." http://nebula.wsimg.com/5ab7664820ad...&alloworigin=1 http://nebula.wsimg.com/cff72499cf1f...&alloworigin=1 "To me these lilies represent love and salvation, eternal forgiveness." ♥ Thank you dearest Bill ~ so very beautiful. :hug: |
Beautiful lilies! I am fond of the name Lily, as it was my mother's mother's name and is the name of one of my cats. :) Suze, thanks for sharing the pictures. :hug: |
They are wonderful plants Bill - thanks for sharing :) D |
Thank you, Bill and Venus - they are magnificent. |
Those lilies are gorgeous! |
Oh Venus - I am so clueless sometimes. I completely missed this thread and until 15 minutes ago, had no idea what you have been going through. :( And I feel very bad about that. I'm so so sorry. You've been there for me so many times and gosh.... I am so relieved you don't have cancer. And reading the outpouring of love on your thread to me, says you have lots of family. Much love to you sista ~ you are in my thoughts. |
Thank you darling Lillian :hug: ♥ (Really happy to see you today :)). |

I'm sorry you're having trouble with it Bill but seems to me your issue is TinyPics captcha system not SR's software. Captcha can be tricky for some of us. There is an option for having the captcha letters expressed vocally. D Bill. |

Lillian Gish - one of my favorite actresses! I remember her in "The Wind" where she wore a big floppy hat which kept being blown about by The Wind! Welcome to the Venuscat thread! W. Thank you for the welcome. :) |

Gritting my teeth this afternoon after more family stuff that was upsetting. But why? I've made my decision. The answer once again is fear. The (ingrained) belief that I will be punished because I am bad. The black sheep once again, the pariah. All of the 'friends' discussing what a terrible person I am....not my friends. My sisters' friends. I was thinking about something Dee said: I get the fear - I've had it myself - and it's ok to be scared...just don't let it rule you. All the things you want to do - keep those plans active - you're gonna get there. This is one of my favourite quotes: Now is the time when I would traditionally sabotage myself. Decide that this is too scary, too hard. Start listening to the thoughts that tell me I have no idea what I'm doing....my sister's voice in my head denigrating me. I am calling myself out on this...and reminding myself that I CHOOSE to live in faith rather than fear. |

Ditto Suze ~ happy to see you too. The world is a better place with you in it. I've missed a bunch of roller coaster days. Sending you healing vibes from this corner of the world towards yours. I loved Ms Gish as well, and one of my favourite actresses these days is Annabeth Gish. For years I told people she was Lillian's granddaughter....and then I found out that sure, her grandma's name was Lillian, but not that Lillian. Too funny. |
Good (very early) morning Bill. :hug: ♥ |
:grouphug: V, i hadn't seen this thread before either. You are brave in the best way possible! |
Thank you for posting such a beautiful trumpet lily Bill and Suze. Did you know that lilies like their head in full sun and their feet firmly planted. It is that way much the same for us. Know if you are planted "right" you'll bloom anywhere you are. ;) Grow and be happy V! |
Hi, Suze. :Valdog: My mom was considered the black sheep of our family. She was the 'bad' one. It was very hard for her to live with that after a while. She never got sober for very long either. Are you seeing the sisters and friends posts on Facebook? |
