Thank you, Sweet Amy, and it's Beautiful Today at the King's Ranch; the Temperatures have been a Little Cooler Lately, so I'm Thankful for that. The Fleas are Bad Right Now, though; I Keep Seeing them on Doggie, even though she is Wearing a New Flea Collar and has Suffered through 3 Different Flea Medications being Applied to her, Lol. I'll be Glad when Flea Season Winds Down!

I know how you feel, Cardhu.

I’ve had my new computer for about 10 months and I still cannot get email here. I have to go to Marissa’s computer. GRRRRR.

It worked for about 5 months. Whenever I try to setup email, my PC freezes and I have to shut down. HP couldn’t help me other than offer suggestions (which didn’t work). Guess that I need to call Microsoft.

Thank you Kitty Mittens, all. I have been so busy today making my hubby a Pot Roast, and doing laundry, etc. I'll try to catch up later, but will post this one I made in my water-color program. (PhotoArtmaster)

He thought he was going to get a Carrot Cake too, but "not" today, lol.

Is it me, or is FR verrry slow today?

Cardy, I hope you're doing ok looking for a new computer, sighhh...

Gran, you and Cardy make a great team. The only difference between you two is only one of you can cook. :)

Loved the watercolor!
BTW, I love pot roast and carrot cake too. ;)

Thanks, grannie! That is so sweet - the colts playing like that! Hey, I checked out Poser 6 a little bit, and it looks like a lot of fun to play with - lots of neat things one can do with it! You sure can! So, from what I can tell, there are different faces and bodies you can use (and clothes & hair?) and put them in all kinds of different poses? Are there lots of 'landscaping' accessories and stuff you can choose from - I especially like the dandelions in an earlier picture you posted. (I mean, I HATE dandelions, but those are pretty!) :)

I do have a question: Can the graphics be compressed in the program before saving them? I would definitely have to compress them as they take so long for me to upload to my server and also to open/download from the net. :( I can compress 400+KB graphics to less than 100KB in PhotoImpact Pro, without losing clarity for the internet.

YUMMMMMMM! Ohhhhhh, how I love ice cream - I'll share a banana split with someone!

Amy, the prayer was too sweet.

"Here, this is for you. Ice Cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already."

YES! :)

As if that opening banana split wasn’t bad enough, now you give us banana split CHEESECAKE?! You are bad! But your illustrations are terrific! Cute kiss and beautiful national park, and yeah, I’ll try to overlook the cheesecake and just have an orange. :)

Hi Sweety and thank you!

We make a great team as long as he lets me teef his pics, lol. Other than that.....he’s one crazy ol’ guy. ;) (I”ll bet he’s crazy today.....sheeesh.) “How’s your wallet feeling, Cardy?”

Hop a plane and swing on by. I just got the veggies all cut up and was going to take a quick swim, but it started clouding up. I hear lightning on the radio. Well, we can use the rain.

Do you want my Carrot Cake recipe in case your plane is waaay late? It’s a good and easy one.

That’s pretty, grannie. PhotoArtmaster looks like another neat software program. Watercolor without the water and brushes and the mess!

LOL...let me see if I can get thru this....

Yes it is a great program and loads of fun, but....if you want the really good stuff, (a lot comes with it) you have to buy it. I’ve had mine for yeeears, and yes I’ve bought a lot!!! I usually make my people/animals/props, etc in there and then move them into the Vue program. That I use for landscaping. I absolutely love that program, but boy is it buggy. That also takes money to buy things. Sighhh....yes, and I have.

Wow..I don’t know if you have enough guts or server speed to use either one of them. I don’t compress anything, and always use the best quality size and pixel-wise. In fact I make my pics a lot bigger than I show on here, and I don’t seem to lose any quality. The bad quality is all mine, lol.

I size them all in Irfanview. It’s an excellent program and is free. It has loss-less sizing and turning of your stuff, and also batch sizing. Check it out. Will play vids, music, etc.

Maybe Cardhu can help you on your server and compression problems. He’s the expert there.

That horse pic I posted at that size was only 436 KB. Of course it was much larger before I sized it. The original was 2.10 MB.

Boy, I’m not the best at this, and I probably confused you even more than seems possible, but let me know if I can explain better, ok?

Yes, that is perfect, Grannie! I love it! (Billie, you should see what magic she did with my yard! I can’t find the picture - but all I can say is, “WOW”!)

Very pretty, Cardhu.

The music, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?, is wonderful. That is an old favorite.
