That sucks. Be glad you aren't me though. I'm 11 books into a series and the author died before he could finish the last book. And, each book was almost 1,000 pages.

How awful. what series?

What really upset me...I've been a "Cat who" reader for a bazillion years....always looked forward to her new books (light fluff) but her last book betrayed her characters and alienated her readers...it was awful. So sometimes a writer should just stop.

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. It's kind of fantasy/sci fi. They were so good too. Apparently though, he was half finished with the last book and they are trying to find another writer to use his notes and give us an end. I hate not knowing what happens with all those people. I'd been readinf the series since I was 14! That's half my life!

The "Cat who" books were favorites of one of my friends in high school. They seemed cool but I kind of forgot about them.

Ok, I'm having a stupid moment....could someone please tell me what resolution a submitted image must be?

The resolution doesn't matter. Only matters that it is 2547 pixels on long side.

I got to give the series another chance. I read the first one, liked it, read the second and liked it as well but it didn't seem to go anywhere. I started the third and sort of petered out.

I started in the third and worked backward then forward. It's good.

Thanks. So I just crop at 2574 and leave the resolution blank?

Sorry again, I feel stupid.

Better check with Jen. Yep

Don't crop, go to image size and enter 2574 for the long edge and it will resize the photo.

ok. Thanks. Again, having dense issues tonight.

Evening folks. Flyby posting then off to bed....you all sure chatted up a bunch...11 pages for me to go through .

This is the biggest plane I've flown in since 2005.

I had a short flight in this one in October:

But the most fun was the flight in this one in May:

Nice shots John, but you don't have to brag about being able to fly in the planes. Really, you don't.

A shot of me in a tux actually dancing. I do sort of a cross between the Cabbage Patch and some sort of John McCain shuffle.

One of the theories about the orgin of this phrase comes from the days of sail. On a fighting ship a "monkey" was a device used to hold cannonballs in a stack ready for loading. While some were made of wood, it didn't wear well and an iron monkey was impractical because the cannonballs, which were also iron, would rust to it. For this reason some monkeys were made of brass. The only problem was that, in cold weather, the brass would contract more than the iron and the cannonballs would fall off the monkey, giving rise to the expression...

Huh, never woulda known....you must kick butt in Trivial Pursuit.

Ok, another dumb question because I can't seem to find an answer....does it need to be named in a special way?

No. The submission site will change the file name to the correct name. Use whatever name you want.

Thanks. I really am clueless on this.
