Stupor Kewl, Ruby!
You might have just solved a vexing problem. OK, well, inadvertently.
I almost-always resize Pix via Tiny Pix, and then embed that Pic Link in my Posts. See that technique done below. If you can see this Yoga Meme, it means you can see Tiny Pic Links. But, not Files uploaded directly from this HD [something I rarely do]. That's the technique I just used up-Thread.
This means that one secret to having things 'universally' visible to all here is to post via Third Party Pic Sites, like Tiny Pic. This would be a kewl, ongoing Mystery to resolve once & for all. At least then, Folks here can decided to take those extra Pic posting Steps, or not.
Great one, GS!

how weird - or timely...
After the floor finished drying, I did another vacuum on the 'comfort' rug for the kitchen. Then I proceeded to stretch and do a few poses while the wife was drinking her first cup of coffee at 12:30 - welcome to today
She said 'you are being silly'. Silly? This is the WARRIOR POSE. Nothing silly about it. Then one legged, the other leg, and this is the HERO pose just so you know who I am. Your hero...
I recall jackalope hunting near Phoenix some years back - didn't have a double barrel, only a single. Actually saw a jackalope too. Too far away...basically took a shotgun for a walk. Then hiking on camelback in the 100 degree heat, "When we were young..."
hmmmm Palo Verde has openings... naw.
Need to get some carpet cleaner for the downstairs... clean the carpet before I clean the carpet. Going to do a manual clean, then rent the machine for a final go over. Rug doctor thing is a cheap rental. Too much tracking in the outside from hunting season and snow... I need to put up the 'Please remove shoes' sign for myself.
Wife always removes shoes and puts on her house slippers.
Ain't that right midnightblue?
Glad to see you making appearances Della
Just in time for valentine's day...

Oh my gosh, GS, that is super awesome!!!
Just got back from a couple hours of work, installing the publicity display case I do for every theatre production. It's by far my favorite part of the job, because I get to be creative and use some of my graphic design skills. I'm proud of the work I did on this one - the play is an adaptation of a Chinese legend, so I got to use some of my personal decor from my house, and I threw in a fair dose of actual Chinese characters (writing). Fun!
Now lunch, then a nap. I was stupid and had 2 cups of coffee in the early evening yesterday - I know better!!! Didn't get to sleep until 12:30 or so, and had to get up at 5 because my dog was whining to go outside. I tried going back to bed after that, but no dice. I like naps, but I always feel like a lump when I allow myself one, because I gots stuff to do. But if I don't have a nap today, I'll be completely worthless for the rest of the day. So I'll give myself permission.

Sao that little dog your talking about we nicknamed Dotty ... Dotty turned out to be a dog called Tinker we found thier owners after 3 days as we told the local shops and gave my mobile number
Tinker belonged to a little girl who when we knocked the door almost started crying when we told her we had found her dog & 10 minutes after going to fetch Tinker for her it was all over the dog was returned to its rightful owner
It was a cool 3 days though Tinker was female and fancied glen - it was hilarious watching her chase glen
The picture is just one I found which I liked mrs sw tells me its a corgi ? but I don't know

Today was such a long, hard day.
I got praised for doing the payroll correctly but now that I think about it, I may have made mistakes with the purchases which I will have to re-do tomorrow.
It's "throwback Thursday" so here is a picture of me - first day of school or something. I am not sure what happened to that fearless little girl. When did I become so scared of everything?
I probably shouldn't share photos but I feel very comfortable here. I have a few friends - most of them are married with jobs and lives. I pretty much have no one to talk to.
Funnily enough the only family member that comes close to understanding how I feel is my brother. He will be home again in May. He doesn't hide anything. He will go and buy himself a six pack, have a few beers with dinner and will store the rest in the fridge. Doesn't hide anything, doesn't lock the bottles away. I just want to be treated like a normal person. I miss him tonight.
I quite like this photo of me. I have been told that my face has not changed very much

Oh that's even better that he had a loving family and that you found them. You probably said it at the time but my memory is shot lol!
Tetra, I think you are striding back to being that fearless girl again, you really are

Acres upon acres of decommissioned aircraft preserved in the dry desert air for spare parts. Alas, I am not in the USAF, so I'll have to see them from an air-conditioned bus. Also on the itinerary is the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, an indoor-outdoor museum/zoo dedicated to the flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert region.
It's an easy trip from my home, and not very exciting by most people's standards, but here is where some of you may be able to relate: It is a perfect example of a simple little weekend trip that I had wanted to take since I first moved to Phoenix, that requires little real effort or expense, but that I nonetheless could never manage during my drinking days, for the usual myriad of reasons that most of us know all too well (too drunk, too hungover, too tired, passed out, the list goes on...) I view it as another small step in the process of taking back my life from alcohol.

I have been there and love that place. The helicopters inside. The jets. So much to look at. I had a great day there. Have fun and take pictures to post for us!
