Hi Fran....you know how rumors start..maybe it was just a rumor...if you see Andrew ask him if he graduated St. John's in 1972, he has to be 50. Well thats good news.....Thanks, Judy

Sure, come on down!!!! LOL :cheers:

EVERYONE: I read a few posts where newer people were surprised that they were NEWBIES. You lose the newbie status after 50 posts. Also, when your status changes and or you add a picture, it changes all the way back to your first post. So if you have 100 posts, it will say that on your very first post also.

PHOTOS: If you want to add your photo, you have to first save it as a thumbnail or small version. You can usually do this in your photo program, such as Kodak EasyShare.

PEOPLE NOT ON HERE ANYMORE: If you know someone is having a problem using this newer blog tell them to :
Bookmark this link http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=476566#476566
Register or sign in.
When it takes them to the original page, they have to go to the bookmark so they don't get lost.
When they post a message, tell them to do nothing and it will automatically take them back to the last post.
Every time after that, all they have to do is use the bookmarked link and they will already be signed in !!

Must be my day for lessons, lol. For the experienced people on here, just ignore me.

the thumbnail is a smaller version for the web so it won't reject it as too large.

GOOD MORNING ALL T.G.I.F. FOR US WHO WORK. HAVE A GREAT DAY

Terry: since you have a Kodak, you probably have the Easy Share program where you store your photos. Go to the pictures from the reunion and put the one you want in the tray on the right. Right click on it and choose Save As. It will give you a choice for the size you need (on bottom) and where you want to save it (at the top) You can save it to the Desktop so it is easier to find.

If you want to send it in emails, you pick add attachment and pick Desktop. You will see it listed there under whatever you named it.

Terry : Did you want to put a picture on here??? and forgot how to do it?? I can walk you through that if you want. I can even do it over the phone, lol

Thanx Janet. It took me time but thanx to my friend we did it.

Terry you're too funny!!

Debbie - you remind me so much of Edith in that picture!!

Terry no wonder you're my best friend.... I'm just as stupid as you! When everyone talks about doing all these fun things on this computer I can't understand a damn thing. I need to see it done... You know ..show me don't tell me. I think I'm losing precious brain cells by the second.lol. Love ya.Deb.

Thanks Karen.

Suzie Benc: I understand how your shopping addiction started (with the supply room) but I am more interested in the other addiction - peeking over the fence to see what the neighbors are doing. Please share your observations, OK ?

I am still waiting to hear from some of the people I grew up with and spent time with. If you are reading this......how about a few words. It takes fewer muscles to type than to frown or smile !
