Oh, I know! I’ll always go ahead and save the .bmp graphics and then immediately save them as a jpeg in PI. It’s just annoying BECAUSE the bytes are so huge, plus you cannot SEE what the size is when you right-click properties. Gives you all the rest of the information the jpeg has (including the “filename”.jpg even though it will only save as a .bmp extension).

I don't think there is such a thing
as a cowgirl that is not cute. ;-)

When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it, and decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the animals formed a long line before His throne, and the cat quietly went to the end of the line. To the elephant and the bear He gave strength, to the rabbit and the deer, swiftness; to the owl, the ability to see at night, to the birds and the butterflies, great beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey, intelligence; to the dog, loyalty; to the lion, courage; to the otter, playfulness. And all these were things the animals begged of God. At last he came to the end of the line, and there sat the little cat, waiting patiently. "What will YOU have?" God asked the cat. The cat shrugged modestly. "Oh, whatever scraps you have left over. I don't mind."
"But I'm God. I have everything left over."
"Then I'll have a little of everything, please."
And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of this small animal, and gave the cat everything she asked for, adding grace and elegance and, only for her, a gentle purr that would always attract humans and assure her a warm and comfortable home.
But he took away her false modesty.

Yeahbut I can't help but wonder if Algore runs away from inappropriate weather like my friend's German Shepherd runs away from thunder. They both have the same size brains...
It's a contest who's dumber, Gore or Biden and I can't tell which. However I like Biden because he tells the truth. If that's stupid I'll take it from a Dem anyday.
All the other dummies lie like tar.

Oh oh. Hope there's no german shepherd owners here. LOL
I think their brains may be like the ostrich brain, which is smaller than their eye. Tee Hee!

Hysterical graphic, LJ - and the story - probably VERY true. ;-)

This graphic and “God’s Dream” is so, so sweet! I am so glad God’s Dream came to pass and I was honored to have two of these little guys of my own. It wasn’t always easy but nothing really worthwhile is easy! Thank you, ladies!

I sure did love this, yorkie! The old swimming hole graphic and the lovely story that goes so well with it. Reminds me of some of the tales my husband and his best friend used to tell me. The tales they told “I sometimes wondered how they made it to adulthood”....I could write a book!

Yeah, yeah....they have to ‘talk to me’ but have nothing to say. (I guess they are still ‘thinking’ about it....) LOL!

My son and I were just talking on the phone and wondering “when in the world is it gonna stop raining.” I kid you not, it seems it has rained for 10 days and we are so tired of it!
And we have had a lot of bad storms....I cut the computer off today when that storm blew in!
