Great Skiing
Hi...I went skiing by myself today...the snow was wonderful! I met some interesting people on the lift and ran into another person I knew. I stopped for lunch and it started to snow, so I decided to head home. I have a cozy fire going and will veg-out tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to Seattle for a memorial service...a former neighbor passed away...he was very elderly, but he was a wonderful friend and neighbor when I lived on the beach in the 70's and 80's! We went fishing and geoduck digging together and he told the best stories and mixed the best martinis ever..here's to Barney!

Jill,
The ImageShack link doesn't show in the quick reply form, you have to click on the "Reply" button, in order to have the ImageShack link available. Then you can upload an image from your computer, and copy the link from their site, into your message.
If you need more information, please let me know.

Hi..Wayne, thanks for the info. I'll try again.
Hi Polly, a geoduck is sort of like a giant clam with a huge neck. They are hard to get because they burrow deep in the sand....They are also only available during extremely low tides...I found this info. on the web...
The geoduck clam (pronounced "gooeduck") is the largest bivalve along Puget Sound and the largest burrowing clam in the world. Also one of the oldest animals in the world, geoducks can live as long as 146 years.
The taste is similar to that of clams, only it's sweeter....it is a real delicacy if you like clams.....yum....TTFN...JJ

Hi Jill,
No, it usually only takes a few seconds with a dialup connection, and the upload should be quick as a flash, with a high-speed connection. The time will depend on the size of the file you are tryng to upload. If you are trying to upload a huge file, (in the megs catagory), on a dialup connection, it will take a long time. Maybe the site was having temporary server problems, or they were doing maintenance of some type.
To speed up uploads, (and subsequent loading for viewing), I usually modify my image files for internet viewing so that they are about 20 to 100 or so Kb is size. First I set the resolution to 72 ppi, (pixels per inch), then I crop the image, if needed, then I resize the image to somewhere between six and ten inches maximum width/height, then I save the image in a jpeg file, using a medium image quality setting, (five or six, on a scale of zero to ten).
Many cameras shoot images at 300 ppi, or more, for example, but that creates a huge image file. This is great for detail in a printed image, but for viewing on a monitor, monitors can only utilize 72 ppi, so anything over that is wasted, anyway. Therefore if you set the resolution at 72 ppi, the image will load much, much faster, and it will still look just the same as a 300 ppi image, (on a monitor).
Be sure to work with a copy of your original image, (IOW, don't overwrite the original image file with the downgraded image that you have created, since you may want to retain the fine detail of the original, for other purposes, and once you downgrade the resolution, it can never be upgraded again. (Well, actually, there is a program on the market that will allow one to do this, as a plugin for Photoshop, but it is somewhat expensive, and unnecessary, so long as you shoot high quality images, and don't downgrade them.
I hope I haven't just confused the issue here. If you need clarification, please let me know.

Hmmmm...I'll have to spend some time digesting what you said. Right now, I need to head to Seattle for the memorial service, but have been having "issues". I woke up at 4:30 with tummy ache and D....it is hanging on....took 2 Imodium and am waiting a few minutes before leaving. I am so tired of this! Maybe I need more than 3 Entocort pills per week...that's not much is it. Anyway, have been avoiding salad and fruit....maybe I need to go back to meat only for a few days and see what happens....I have been eating too much garbage... 
More later...JJ

Jill,
Three per week may not be enough to get you back on track. You might have to take one or two per day, until you get things back under control. Then you can taper back down, again, to whatever minimum rate you found to work well, previously.

Picture too big
Hi Tex...I think the picture is too big...it was taking forever to e-mail it to you....I think I will quit trying for now...thanks anyway...JJ
Hi Jill,
If you right-click on the image file, and then left-click on "properties", at the bottom of the drop-down menu that pops up, you can see the exact size of the image file.
If you want to email it to me, (you can let the computer transmit it while you do something else), I'll be happy to resize it for you, and either email it back to you, or upload it to the ImageShack site, or both.

P S You can set your camera to record smaller image files, if you don't need or want large image files. That will also allow you to record a lot more images on the camera's storage card, before it fills up.
