Not yet, but it’s a good possibility. He’d be right up their alley.
You can put photos on Google maps of any location. I have about a dozen or so around my area
Nooooooo... I am almost a teetotaller these days -- just Coca Cola Light or sugar free water with a slight fruit taste. Got to watch my glucose.
But I did get a haircut and I am now 30 years younger. You will have to restrain yourself gran.
Ahhhhhhhhh...right. Could you explain that again to me?
Ahunh.......
Oh about the haircut,...call me when you get down to 35 years younger, ok?
Then we can probably Boogie...yaknowwhatimean? heh heh heh....:-/
(I’m sooo young...I’m so pretty...I’m so agile and I can still dance......la...la..lala...la...la..lala..mmm...mmm.mmmm...sighhhhhhhhh)
What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.
Where's my lawyer when I need him?
Just for that..I'm going up to my newly burnt bed and take a nice nap...:}
Hi Gran - just funning... :)
You are right nully - we have it all.
Hi Gran,
This camera is a Costco special, a Casio ‘Exilim’. It is a tiny little thing with buttons for dwarf fingers, and it rides in a tiny little shirt pocket just right. Practically the whole back side of the thing is an LCD screen, and someone thought out the menu system pretty well — I found only one place where something was confusing: you use the up and down arrow buttons to move up and down the menu, and when you get to the top, the up arrow doesn’t do much anymore, but it changes around what else is displayed on the screen. I had to read the manual to figure that one out, and the manual I had to download from the Casio web site. The box only comes with a quick start guide in most modern languages; A thick book with only a small part in English. I’ll get my act together here and put up some pictures as soon as I finish some honey-dew things further up on my list.
Y’now, we’ve been talking on this forum for more than 5 years now, maybe as far back as 7. Can’t rightly remember... Chlo was newborn...
Well this is what you do – you go to http://www.panoramio.com and register. You will see the instructions, Anyway, when you are looking at a map you find a place where you took a good photo, like that lighthouse you visited, normally without any people or just anonymous group scenes. You upload it to Panoramio under your user id with the longitude and latitude which you get by identifying the exact position on the Google map of the scene or the position from which you took the photograph.
The photo appears on your version of Google Earth immediately, and, if they accept your photo it will appear on everyone’s Google Earth within 4 to 6 weeks. As you zoom in it will show up as a star in a circle. You click on the star and up come the photograph, yours or someone elses. They are not very fussy they have accepted all mine. In popular places there are lots of stars.
Now, there is something else which I am sure you will love – you can make your own model of any building or structure so that everyone can see a 3D model of say, the Eiffel Tower, Empire State Building or the Torre de Hercules and fly around and over them. If you make a good model, it does not have to be famous it could be an apartment building as long as it is an accurate representation – if later a better one comes along they will replace yours.
You just download Google´s SketchUp Program and go to work.
Go here http://www.panoramio.com/user/284666 to see a few of the photos that I have uploaded to Google Earth.
You lucky dog with a new camera — I will wait until they have one with a low enough price to include GPS settings in the EXIF log. I know they have them but I have not seen any advertised. They would be great for Google Earth.
I must make up my ping list instead of re-inventing the wheel everytime. Anyway, I forgot to put you on the list for post 3624, not that you missed much.
Excellent! Nice looking neighborhood.
.
I am not really an undie Sherlock Holmes - but it has got to be a nice young thing to have two boys like that.
Me too.... ;)
You don´t mess around do you Gran -— I will have to watch my step. Maybe pick on someone less vicious. LOL
Don´t let Nully see those heels...
Raising my hand and jumping up and down...
I know,....I know...
It starts with a C...in the middle with a D.....and ends with a Y?
