Happiness is having a guardian frog! Looks like he is trying to make sure she is safe.

Looks like Pete has some competition on who makes Ali more relaxed... Kermit is winning :D

I was going to post fleurs but I thought the "almost fleurs" were pretty too

lol. I do really like the before. And the tones of the after.

[Woolburr]

Nice set of tulips and wannabe tulips Lisa. I really like the second shot in the first set.

[Woolburr]

lol. I do really like the before. And the tones of the after.

As you can see from the first shot....the subject looked like Mr. Clean in dirty clothes. Not very convincing as a worker on a steam locomotive. We asked the people that were posing if they would mind getting a little dirt on them....they all refused. :(

define "a little dirt". You wanted to pour a can of used oil on them, and make them look really scruffy/dirty?

[Woolburr]

ROFL.....nah! Nothing that extreme. There is a fair bit of soot and ash to be found on a steam locomotive....just a dab here and there would have made things much more realistic. I think I got more dirt on me taking the photos than they did posing. :lol:

[Becky N]

Found you.

Glad to hear Ali had a good day, Pete.

Purdy flahr wannabes and flahrs, nice dirt job, Wool. Lonnie, I remember well the scenery of desert it was nice is a dry way.

Not sure if I posted this pose a few weeks back or not...

Nice desert and boid, too!

I will process an old file tonight when I get home and post something.

Hello folks....almost got lost but then saw that there was a leg lamp thread!! YAY!! Even to compact them into here! Wow...that's gonna be lot's o leg lamps. :lol:

Hi Robert. How is Mari and the kids?
Mari is good Heather. Just has to travel out of town every other week for 2 days at a time OR spend one LOOOONG day out of town to see as many docs as possible.

Or I would have looked in the mirror to see a giant swollen blood filled tick dangling like a grey grape from my eye lid.
Dang Zane....apparently you are no longer a chick-magnet...but now a tick-magnet....ew. :lol:

Racing and such, a few more HERE (http://shortwave5.smugmug.com/Steeplechase/2011/Elkridge/16580368_oZScu) I think they look best on slideshow.
Great set....whoa on the head-diving horse

Run ELvis Run ..hehe
:lol:

*packs leg lamp*
I thought we burned that on the lawn, about 38 threads ago.
We did. Terri keeps buying new ones.
Here, Lonnie - put it in this nice cabinet, right over here. The one labeled"Trash Compacter". Yep, that's the one.
:eek::eek::shock:

[Harm]

Hi Dan/Robert

[CrazieCricket]

Nice Avi there, Bobert!:lol:

Due to the issues with my job, :( I am letting go of my zenfolio account... Will have to see what I've got that I can upload...

Sorry to hear that. I have plenty of web space on my domain if you need any...

Pete! So glad you and Ali had a good day today!!!! Love her guardian frog!!! :D

Thank you! We're hoping for a good day tomorrow as well.

[3Turner]

Hi Dan/Robert
Hello Harm ;)

Nice Avi there, Bobert!:lol:
:D

Thought it was fitting for the leg lamp thread. Where's yours? ;)

[Permagrin]

LOL on the avi, Bobert!! hahaha

[Permagrin]

Jon, if you didn't see my fb post and you are an organizational freak (like the dragon and mouse) this is a FAST/Easy way to keep books organized on your reader (if you use calibre).

(note: insert your own reader in the step 5 "choose" section)

Step 1 - Download CALIBRE from http://calibre-ebook.com/

Step 2 - Add your books to your CALIBRE libary. You can just drag and drop them there.

Step 3 - Click PREFERENCES at the top right of CALIBRE.
...
Step 4 - Click SENDING BOOKS TO DEVICES and put {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} into the save template. Click Apply.

Step 5 - Under preferences again, click METADATA PLUGBOARDS. Under add new plugboard, on the dropdown menu under format, choose EPUB, on the device, choose KOBO and put {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} into the source template with the destination field TITLE.

Save plugboard.


Heather, I don't know how sony sorts things but this would work with yours too.

[JWright]

Thought it was fitting for the leg lamp thread. Where's yours? ;)

OK, since I started it, I'll play...

[Skrim17]

hi!

[mtnphtgrphr]

Sorry to hear that, Jenn.
It was $100 I couldn't justify spending...
Sorry to hear that. I have plenty of web space on my domain if you need any...



Thank you! We're hoping for a good day tomorrow as well.
Awwwwww Thanks Pete! :D Very sweet offer!

I hope you guys have a great day tomorrow... Hope you don't have to drag her by the ankles to the day room to watch movies! ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Hi Folks :D

Lots nice photos posted.

Pete, that is cute pic of Ali and her guardian. :D

*makes plans to hide out under table in corner booth and when the lights go out, to come out and smash any leg lamps*
Bwahahaha......:p

[Harm]

[Becky N]

I know Permie has a leg lamp appropriate photo she could post. :D

Heather, I don't know how sony sorts things but this would work with yours too.Noted. Haven't dived in that deep. I just sort by author (with authors in Mystery and SF in their own subdirectories).

Yep, I use it; didn't I tell you about Calibre?

[Pete]

Hmm... I just use a bookshelf.

When that gets filled, I buy another shelf...

[Harm]

Awww what a cool dog:

[Jon]

We're currently at around 100 or so shelves in 8-10 book cases at 60+ books per shelf. That would all fit nicely on a single 8 GB SD card. Which would Ali prefer you have? I know where Ann's preference is.

[3Turner]

Was watching NCIS...commercial break on NCIS: LA.
That was a freaky ending to NCIS...I wonder whose eyeball that was. (if anyone saw the show)

LOL on the avi, Bobert!! hahaha

Wow...that's a lot of books.

I have only a little bit of books...maybe 60 tops...but not in any order. Just stacked to and fro on the shelves...Cat wouldn't want to see those shelves. :lol:

Couldn't quite tell whether it opened the door or locked it down, it happened so fast. I think it was a fake eyeball though, which was the point of Palmer's comments.
Wow...that's a lot of books.

Ann keeps telling me it's a lot. Not sure I agree. After all, it's probably less than 1/10 of the books I've read . . .

Ali already hoodwinked me into getting rid of a lot of books. I'm now standing firm, my books are part of the furniture.

Jon, we came to the same conclusion here when we packed up before the remodel. Dozens of boxes of books. We've "thinned the herd" but still have way too many books, but at least I'm not adding to the stacks now that I have a Kindle.

[Timphoto]

Ali already hoodwinked me into getting rid of a lot of books. I'm now standing firm, my books are part of the furniture.

For me, some of them have sentimental value, and they're staying no matter what. Most of the books we got rid of were the popular pulp fiction stuff.

The next step is clearing out the old National Geo's and my Archeology journals and buying the CD's.

[Permagrin]

I know Permie has a leg lamp appropriate photo she could post. :D

this?
http://lcimages.zenfolio.com/img/s2/v1/p430753306-4.jpg

Noted. Haven't dived in that deep. I just sort by author (with authors in Mystery and SF in their own subdirectories).

Yep, I use it; didn't I tell you about Calibre?

probably...there's been so much input, I've forgotten what came from where.

The above works GREAT for series books. Major organization.

us too...loads of books all over the house. Love the new digital system.

[cfpackerfan]

Edgar is adopted!
The first of Baylee's puppies to find his forever home! WOO HOO!!!!!

He doesn't go home till Friday, which is fine with me. Gives me a couple more days to love on his squishiness. :)

[cfpackerfan]

AND, we have a family coming tomorrow to meet Stephen AND William. :) They want them both! And they know that William is special. They like special. :lol:

Keep your fingers crossed for them!

LOVED re-reading the toons!! What fun!

Couldn't quite tell whether it opened the door or locked it down, it happened so fast. I think it was a fake eyeball though, which was the point of Palmer's comments.

Ann keeps telling me it's a lot. Not sure I agree. After all, it's probably less than 1/10 of the books I've read . . .
The eye opened the MTAC door. I thought it was real...must've missed something. Then again, there were two boys laughing and playing in the living room when I was watching and couldn't hear a lot of the show.

I would love to have my own mini-library...but as Ann....Mari tells me we already have too many books :|. They barely fit in the closet shelves and won't let me start bringing them out to shelves in the office. She even wants to throw out all my photography magazines! :shock:

The next step is clearing out the old National Geo's and my Archeology journals and buying the CD's.
I'll never throw out my photo mags!

I have had to fix my mom and my step daughter's computers this week, my moms was so ancient and crippled by whatever the heck she clicked on I gave her my old one!! Sarah's needed thousands of music files and photos restored.
Ouch...not fun.

[monkeygirl]

Good evening everyone. Went and cut off my hair today. Donated it to Locks of Love - it is really short though, it does not even hit my collar right now.

Jon, if you didn't see my fb post and you are an organizational freak (like the dragon and mouse) this is a FAST/Easy way to keep books organized on your reader (if you use calibre).

(note: insert your own reader in the step 5 "choose" section)

Step 1 - Download CALIBRE from http://calibre-ebook.com/

Step 2 - Add your books to your CALIBRE libary. You can just drag and drop them there.

Step 3 - Click PREFERENCES at the top right of CALIBRE.
...
Step 4 - Click SENDING BOOKS TO DEVICES and put {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} into the save template. Click Apply.

Step 5 - Under preferences again, click METADATA PLUGBOARDS. Under add new plugboard, on the dropdown menu under format, choose EPUB, on the device, choose KOBO and put {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} into the source template with the destination field TITLE.

Save plugboard.


Heather, I don't know how sony sorts things but this would work with yours too.

I am not that picky - they go in by date downloaded into the computer and the reader puts them in alphabetical order

Edgar is adopted!
The first of Baylee's puppies to find his forever home! WOO HOO!!!!!

He doesn't go home till Friday, which is fine with me. Gives me a couple more days to love on his squishiness. :)

That is great news for Edgar, William and Stephen.

Pete - hope Ali's protector keeps the tumor at bay. Good luck tomorrow. We will send good thoughts and prayers your way.

Great photos all.

Lisa and Dan - thanks for reposting all of the wonderful TR's. I was laughing so hard.

LISA, thanks so much for posting all those old 'toons of Dan's.

DAN, once again thanks so much for all the great loads of entertainment you bring us, we really are blessed to have you as a funny friend. :D :D :D

CAT YAY for Edgar. Hoping great things that Stephen and William get adopted too.

time to spray paint leg lamps on the walls :D:D
Hey, how can I tell which are the real ones.

Wonder if Jim has one of these:

Nope, I have a regular cabinet saw, not the Saw Stop. You pay a huge price for that technology. Those vids have been around the woodworking forums for a while now.

Dang Zane....apparently you are no longer a chick-magnet...but now a tick-magnet....ew. :lol:


HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Wow...that's a lot of books.

I have only a little bit of books...maybe 60 tops...but not in any order. Just stacked to and fro on the shelves...Cat wouldn't want to see those shelves. :lol:

I have even went as far as researching on how to stop the tap-tap-tap every minute for as long as there is daylight....I printed out silhouettes of hawks and taped them to the inside of windows that are supposed to scare the cardinals off. But that did not work...they tap at the panes with the papers taped to them. Another thing I don't really want to try, is soaping the outside of the windows to cut the reflections. But then I can't see through clear windows and it would be unsightly. So...I've taken to putting up a fake barn owl next to the office window, but the cardinals go to the dining room windows or the living room windows. :|

Director Vance has been conspicuously absent. Jethro might be moving up. Can you imagine Tony leading a team?
He was in the previous show...when Gibbs was pissed about finding out that EJ was brought in for that serial killer and was forced to work with her. Gibbs has mentioned several times he does not want to move up and even Tony has turned down the "Boss" slot...EJ took his in Spain. It is curious though...especially that they brought in the new agents...the one guy who played in Numb3rs.
