Good afternoon, Kitty Mittens.

Thank you. Lori probably thought I had lost that cardinal graphic. I think I've had it for almost a year. :)

Have a lovely Thursday.

Monitor Screen Cleaner

Ok, so every now and then you have to clean your computer screen.
But, what about the inside of screen, how are you supposed to clean that ??
Fortunately, there is now a website that does this remotely at no cost to you.
First, clean the outside of your screen and then click the link to clean the inside. After you click it wait a few seconds......give it a minute...

Oh, am I hosting a tea party? Sorry I'm late. :-(

LOL

My bro gave me that graphic ages ago; I just found the tea background.

Any suggetions on how to get that image centered better? I tried using the % but couldn't get it right.

I love your tea time bear.

[Mama_Bear]

I don't think it looks bad the way you have it, but with your background the way it is (with the border repeating at 500 (?) pixels), it is almost impossible to get the graphic visually centered. I redid it by lentghening your background so there is only one border that shows and then aligned the graphic and text at "72%".

But, as I said, I don't think it looked bad at all the way you did it. :-)

That looks so pretty.

Fotki reduces everything to 500 pixels so I have to work with that.

I probably should see if I can find my photobucket password. :)

Oh, that's right. I had forgotten about that.

your recipe looks REALLY yummy.. I am a non-sweet tea person so I think I will try it without the sugar... I do a lot of sun tea here in summer. use fresh mint. No sugar. I find it very thirst quenching, whereas sugared/carbonated drinks (coke etc) or the syrupy raspberry type teas give a 2 minute buzz of relief but don't long term satisfy.

If I ever am chair/bed/strapped down for one reason or another, I will catch up on all the past threads for Amy's Place & the Finest. Both are gold mines of fun, information & love.

Sweet dreams all... going to wander over to the Dose to drool a little bit...

*wink*
