Thanks Grog Mmmmmmm….I love the tereyaki wings. (I hate it that the KFC here doesn’t have them, just the freakin’ buffalo and hotter buffalo and honey bbq)
I’m not going to chomp chew take a tour of gnash tear swallow toonland. I have to get to snarf, gobble crunch bed very soon. Mmmmm, that sound you heard was the spot being hit. very good Grog very good.
Ya’ll have fun. Toothpicks are holding my eyes open.
Don’t know what to say GROG. The menu is too much to read with a public education. So grant me a favor and let me grab a plate or two and go grazing. There’s still DOC’S NUC COFFEE left I hope.
Got up real late. SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED had even fed the cats. Hmmm? Wonder why they didn’t wake me like usual. Anyway, can I finish GROG’S breakfast before lunch
Morning TRIBE! Another gorgeous day at Sunny-brook Farm.
OOh Ooh! I forgot to say that the TRIBE swelled my head last night. I feel like Sir Paul. Did you see him the other night with the Prez? SIR LEW does have a noble and distinguished ring to it.
Yawn Good morning Lewreader, Doc, Terry, and the rest of the ((TRIBE))
I’m thinkin there’s a couple of toons that spent too much time talkin and playing musical chairs.
Just a triple bloody mary and a Nuc for me. Nothin like a wide awake drunk in the morning.
Kab Try medical transcription and/or medical billing. We finally became poor enough to have my hubby qualify for free tuition and books. Medical Transcription is the harder of the two, you have to be fast and accurate. Hubby could be fast, or accurate, and he was slowly getting to the point where he might be both….but he didn’t get his certificate. Sometimes the third time isn’t the charm.
Good morning to the rest of the tribe. It’s another hot day here and I’m feeling out of sorts. Dunno what’s wrong, just that I don’t feel quite right. It may be I didn’t get enough sleep, so I’m working on getting sleepy so I can nap.
Grog, I’ll have:
Two Eggs, over easy.
Wheat toast.
Bullberry jelly. (Or mint, if bullberry is not available.)
Ham.
Hash browns.
Doc Toon’s NUCLEAR COFFEE [Here, here’s the cup!]
Apple juice & Orange Juice.
Doc I’m feeling a bit better now, haven’t napped but I’ve been working a jigsaw and watching Watchmen while sipping on some Dr. Pepper (nectar of the gods). When it’s over I’m going to run some errands (one of which is a bead hunt at the Kidney Store) and play some Scrabble.
It’s been a busy morning. Right now, after a short night’s sleep, a nap is sounding pretty good righ about now. Maybe I’ll do that in a little bit, if I can get some paper work done.
Hi Grog! - Hope you will get a good nap! I found the movie The Undefeated also came on earlier so watched all but the first half hour, will see that later tonight and won’t have to stay up as late! I have seen at least part of it before a long time ago. It is good.
Good afternoon all Ladywolf I’m glad you enjoyed the movie then, Quaby I have been checking out Jr. college site and there is testing. I looked at the math and depends on how much of it will be needed. Since I’m not going to draw vitals, or nurse assistant anyone, I hope if I get to go because of testing I can pursue. I looked at the sylbus they recommended Medical transcription to. Have to get with counselor. Where can someone with are type of income, hubby retired and me pt get type of money help?
Kab - The siding project is going VERY slowly!
Nope, still not done with algebra. He’s got about 1/10th of his Accounting (his college major) to finish, too.
Kab - If you can’t score high enough in math on the community college entrance exam, they’ll let you take remedial courses needed to bring your score up.
Hello both Sojourner & Grog your wrong, it’s very hot here. I’m trying to stay awake for some reason I almost do what others do, fall asleep briefly afternoon then can’t sleep nights.
Sojo - Plenty hot! I walked to the mailbox around noon, otherwise I’ve stayed in the a/c. Doing laundry & other tasks inside where I’m fairly comfortable.
Funny, when I got to college and found I had to pay my own money instead of earning money, studying became a very important part of living. Odd how that works,
Kab - I don’t know much about financial aid for college. I don’t want us or our kids saddled with school loans, and we don’t quite fall into the poverty level to qualify for any need-based scholarships.
There is no college fund for me, so I’m going to start doing some temp work soon to bring in some income to pay off debts & pay for any classes I take. Hubby thinks he can get me hired at his job for temp work, so will probably work there first.
Kab - I don’t know how that all works, especially the paying for it part. But I thought it might be helpful, since you can use “life experience” to help earn your degree. My hubby finally got his bachelor’s doing a “degree completion program” at Friends. Lots of essay writing about what he had learned in his life through experience, so I’m guessing that is somewhat how this one works.
Lew - My parents had the same philosophy about college, so made all 5 of us kids find a way to pay for it without their help. Now that I know more of their finances, they didn’t have the money to pay for my college, even though we didn’t qualify for need-based scholarships. Most of their money was tied up in real estate.
I generally refuse to read the long-winded comments on other strips, but then again it may depend on the poster. I never did read most of JAD’s posts long-winded or not and then there’s puddleglum2 over at Calvin & Hobbes, but if Fritzoid or Johanan have a long comment, I’ll read it. It will largely depend on the usual content of the poster.
By and large I have read all the posts here unless I have been pressed for time.
Dad didn’t ever go to college either. He took a lot of the continuing education classes at his job. My mom worked, so she could go to college. Ended up going only one semester because she got married.
She tried to go back to college when I started school. (I’m the youngest.) She took some really hard classes and just couldn’t juggle housework & college. Of course, Dad was the type that he never helped with anything that was traditionally “women’s work”, although I think he did have to help change diapers. When I entered 7th grade, she went back to work full-time at factories.
Grog - I’m the same way, but I read fast. It isn’t so much that I care if more than Kab reads what I post, but if one is gone for hours, it is a lot for someone else to read.
At least your parents put the effort in and your mom on higher education. I’ve tried to get my 27 year son to my daughter wants to but lack of funds prevents it.
I plan to use my small paycheck as hubby’s retirement checks won’t cover but household expenses including mortage.
I just want better. Grog your being a good sport on this, just me being cranky. There where some of JAD I would sometimes skip, but then he had a interesting life he was more talked about to him. I don’t feel as he I don’t know everything. I think though he is still trying to come in. In another stirp there was someone else that got little uppty and comment’s let him have it.
I imiagine yahoo will do the same. Just on the title bar where one puts www,etc doesn’t stay.
Let me know if I can delete more. I’ve already did some. I know it gets boring reading this and I don’t feel insulted when some one doesn’t. I do the same skip. I’ve read yours Rmom some what close to me in knowing what one goes through. Once again sorry. I have been checking on my legquarters barqueing making sure doesn’t over cook.
Kab - It is hard to say with the economy what our retirement income will be or cover by the time we are old enough. I’m figuring if my income can pay off our debts, we can live on less after retirement. Just don’t know how much we’ll get out of this house, so don’t know how much we’ll need to borrow on the next house.
Kab, what you say about JAD is true - to a point anyway. I just found I didn’t like how he nit-picked at the other posters or even the cartoonists for that matter. Rather than allowing myself to get upset over his posts and channelling some negativity of my own toward him, I just chose to stop reading his posts altogether.
Grog I notice to about JAD about his opions only one that matter. I tried to talk about an issue on strip and he got definsive. I don’t know if he reads this or not. I know this is public strip.
Rmom I’m 54 and show it.
On a lighter note my daughter is having one terrible time finding a male, don’t know why male I guess two female Golden retrivers don’t get alone seen it, and not having any luck. I’ll be nice here and not go into detail.
Fellow Baby one more quick word before I head out my door here, in defense of a new found friend. Joe is actually a very nice man. I know he got carried away at times, but usually I think it was because he felt backed into a corner by some of the other posters. Even now that he’s gone, people still make mean nasty comments directed at him. Why? Are some of these posters that full of hate? They need to let it go. He’s gone. And you were wise, didn’t like his comments, you skipped them, that’s what anyone should do. It’s a shame some can’t be as mature as you. Oh dear, did I just call you mature? LOL! I NEVER said that! :-) Woof! Woof!
I beat you on that. Like I said lite meal. Too hot for much.
I hope **Ladywolf and Lonewolf are having a better time and Lonewolf does okay on his pool terminates.
You all have been nice letting me rant. Thank you
Thanks, Fellow Baby! (I think). I, too, wish others would have followed suit rather than bash him. It got to the point where he was taking a compliment as an insult. I like the “Joe Bashing” about as much as the political & religous commentary, which I will also tend to skip. If a strip such as Shoe, Ziggy or Non Sequitur attract political comments (even without the politial strip) I will avoid looking at the strip.
Anyway, I’ve said more than I care to on the subject(s).
Here in western to northwestern looks like storms forming.
Let’s see there is someone new that just posted a day or so that lives out that way. Joy&Piece I think. I wonder how she is doing. See I can say something else.
Ladywolf how was your day? Me I was a very bad one I almost hog the comments here, I have deleted some, I don’t want to be rude. Had to vent I guess not good for open forum.
Yea I guess youth have problems to. I frustrate my daughter then she gives it back.
Ladywolf and all who had computer problems heard so important news today. Computer software is not going to use X version going to 2007 or 2010. software. Evan hard drives are changing. I would have to ask again for more information.
This will effect college.
I’m baackk. After getting lost in the western side of the armpit of the universe (lack of visible streetsigns, doesn’t help when you see them AFTER you’re in the intersection in the non-turn lane,,,then get turned around in your turn around and end up going over a bridge and a couple of miles with no turning allowed so back to the freakin’ interstate…etc)
Kab check with your counselor. Medical Transcription and Medical billing are certification tracks and don’t require that ‘core’ colleges require. They’re designed for us older folks trying to better ourselves.
Also, I don’t mind long posts. I tend to post large because I’m hither and thither. I have had my share of venting and rants, Anyone in the Tribe recall my rant concerning getting into the Rh- antibody program at Octoplasma? I was on vacation so I had plenty of time to pop back and forth, and it was rather educational as well. Like the others, if it gets boring or offensive I just move on to the next one.

Ladywolf - I’m fine. Been doing some retouch work on the African photos. Using new software to me and it’s been a long time since I’ve done this but I’m getting there.
Thanks Quaby I will, it would be depressing to start over. I plan to contact next week. As for those repeated posts that’s happened to me as well. I just have to wait until all is settled then I delete.
Believe it school here in KS starts soon in August and Jr. college next week. I was thinking of having my daughter look and see if she can explain the math formula this Jr. college used.
I will ask next week if taking medical transcription before Encoding will benefit. Don’t want to go in debt too much. Also will have to take medical office.
I actually started emailing with him and he even asked me to do him a favor and let someone who posts on Gocomics and here at BT occasionally to stop referring to him. We won’t mention any names. He was fine with me through emails until this person gave their opinion of me and then he treated me rudely. He is doing the same thing with me that he complained about with others the way they treated him. To me that is the definition of a hypocrite.
Sorry, but I have taken as much as I can without stating my thoughts.
Thanks all. I’m going to read then shower relax and hope. Not great being up until after midnight to 1am and longer. Not as bad as some, then I get up a 7am. So I’m signing off. It’s 8:46pm
Sojo, I think I will have some time tomorrow while sitting on my Gma and a fast internet access. Could you tell me the name of your photobucket account so I can check it out?
Hi, tribe!Kab - I think hopeandjoy2 said she’s in the KC area - the MO side.
Luv - Thanks! Just changed it to fit comments at Birdbrains, because I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to insert pictures in the comments. I use a standard keyboard & a separate mouse with my keyboard because I have the same problem. Once in a while if I go on a trip, I might not take a separate keyboard, but I’ve got a spare in my hubby’s trailer, so it is pretty rare I have to use the laptop’s keyboard.
Doc - Your new avatar makes me think of either Yoda or Mother Theresa. Somehow, I’m somewhat surprised my mind came up with those two - never thought about their visual similarities before.
Hey! My post disappeared. I have a short memory span. I have no idea what I said!!!! Good bye for now, off to scare pedestrians. Will try to be back by turnover, maybe I can post the breakfast menu.
Ah! Ha ha ha ha haaa haaaaaaa!!!!Good Night Early Sleepers!
LuvH8 - My PB account is 77sojo77 - however I am fixing the African photos so they will be better. Will upload new ones ASAP, propably a few days though.
I’ll be here for a few min. but will be leaving soon. I am doing the retouch work on my other computer in the other room. Done retouching for the night. Am having to learn the program as I use it. It’s different but like other programs I’ve used so for me it’s easy to figure out. It’s free and is developed like Open Ofice. It’s like Photoshop. You can get it at www.gimp.org
Sojo - I’ve been using ACDSee for my photos. It has an editor, too. I haven’t used the editor too much, but am starting to learn my way around it. I used to use Adobe PhotoDeluxe (came with our first digital camera) but it doesn’t work well with Vista, which is what I’ve got.
I haven’t asked my geek son what he uses, because I don’t want a 30 minute discussion on the subject. At least what I’ve got does what I need, so I’m satisfied.
If it works and does what you need that’s great! I first did a quick fix on the photos with the free Google program. It was very limited but did a fast and good enough job. I hadn’t used it before but only took a few min. to do. After looking at the photos I uploaded I found out the changes only showed when viewed through the Google program! I used to do photo work on multi-million dollar computer equipment (now done on desktop computers) and simple programs sometimes bug me, not being able to do what I want to. Usually though it’s overkill to try to do some things that are not needed. Getting used to working with RGB instead of CMYK is probably the hardest thing for me.

Hi Grog! - Hope you will get a good nap! I found the movie The Undefeated also came on earlier so watched all but the first half hour, will see that later tonight and won’t have to stay up as late! I have seen at least part of it before a long time ago. It is good.

Sojourner, There is a John Wayne movie that I really like, in my collection called McLintock that I’ll be watching this coming week.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Good afternoon all Ladywolf I’m glad you enjoyed the movie then, Quaby I have been checking out Jr. college site and there is testing. I looked at the math and depends on how much of it will be needed. Since I’m not going to draw vitals, or nurse assistant anyone, I hope if I get to go because of testing I can pursue. I looked at the sylbus they recommended Medical transcription to. Have to get with counselor. Where can someone with are type of income, hubby retired and me pt get type of money help?

Hi Kab
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Kab - The siding project is going VERY slowly! Nope, still not done with algebra. He’s got about 1/10th of his Accounting (his college major) to finish, too.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Kab - If you can’t score high enough in math on the community college entrance exam, they’ll let you take remedial courses needed to bring your score up.
George Arnold over 14 years ago
Hi Rmom - Hope today isn’t too hot! :-)
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
Hi Rmom
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Hello both Sojourner & Grog your wrong, it’s very hot here. I’m trying to stay awake for some reason I almost do what others do, fall asleep briefly afternoon then can’t sleep nights.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Sojo - Plenty hot! I walked to the mailbox around noon, otherwise I’ve stayed in the a/c. Doing laundry & other tasks inside where I’m fairly comfortable.
lewisbower over 14 years ago
Funny, when I got to college and found I had to pay my own money instead of earning money, studying became a very important part of living. Odd how that works,
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Kab - I don’t know much about financial aid for college. I don’t want us or our kids saddled with school loans, and we don’t quite fall into the poverty level to qualify for any need-based scholarships. There is no college fund for me, so I’m going to start doing some temp work soon to bring in some income to pay off debts & pay for any classes I take. Hubby thinks he can get me hired at his job for temp work, so will probably work there first.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Kab - I don’t know how that all works, especially the paying for it part. But I thought it might be helpful, since you can use “life experience” to help earn your degree. My hubby finally got his bachelor’s doing a “degree completion program” at Friends. Lots of essay writing about what he had learned in his life through experience, so I’m guessing that is somewhat how this one works.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’m again sorry not trying to take this BT over, and if someone wants to talk about something totally different feel free.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Lew - My parents had the same philosophy about college, so made all 5 of us kids find a way to pay for it without their help. Now that I know more of their finances, they didn’t have the money to pay for my college, even though we didn’t qualify for need-based scholarships. Most of their money was tied up in real estate.

I generally refuse to read the long-winded comments on other strips, but then again it may depend on the poster. I never did read most of JAD’s posts long-winded or not and then there’s puddleglum2 over at Calvin & Hobbes, but if Fritzoid or Johanan have a long comment, I’ll read it. It will largely depend on the usual content of the poster.
By and large I have read all the posts here unless I have been pressed for time.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Dad didn’t ever go to college either. He took a lot of the continuing education classes at his job. My mom worked, so she could go to college. Ended up going only one semester because she got married. She tried to go back to college when I started school. (I’m the youngest.) She took some really hard classes and just couldn’t juggle housework & college. Of course, Dad was the type that he never helped with anything that was traditionally “women’s work”, although I think he did have to help change diapers. When I entered 7th grade, she went back to work full-time at factories.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Grog - I’m the same way, but I read fast. It isn’t so much that I care if more than Kab reads what I post, but if one is gone for hours, it is a lot for someone else to read.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
At least your parents put the effort in and your mom on higher education. I’ve tried to get my 27 year son to my daughter wants to but lack of funds prevents it. I plan to use my small paycheck as hubby’s retirement checks won’t cover but household expenses including mortage. I just want better. Grog your being a good sport on this, just me being cranky. There where some of JAD I would sometimes skip, but then he had a interesting life he was more talked about to him. I don’t feel as he I don’t know everything. I think though he is still trying to come in. In another stirp there was someone else that got little uppty and comment’s let him have it.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I imiagine yahoo will do the same. Just on the title bar where one puts www,etc doesn’t stay. Let me know if I can delete more. I’ve already did some. I know it gets boring reading this and I don’t feel insulted when some one doesn’t. I do the same skip. I’ve read yours Rmom some what close to me in knowing what one goes through. Once again sorry. I have been checking on my legquarters barqueing making sure doesn’t over cook.

Fellow Baby just dropping in to say I left a message for you at Non Sequitur.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Kab - It is hard to say with the economy what our retirement income will be or cover by the time we are old enough. I’m figuring if my income can pay off our debts, we can live on less after retirement. Just don’t know how much we’ll get out of this house, so don’t know how much we’ll need to borrow on the next house.
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
Kab, what you say about JAD is true - to a point anyway. I just found I didn’t like how he nit-picked at the other posters or even the cartoonists for that matter. Rather than allowing myself to get upset over his posts and channelling some negativity of my own toward him, I just chose to stop reading his posts altogether.
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
Hey, Fellow Baby. I saw your post already. What can I say? Guilty, as charged. Just my opinion of the usual posts on Non Sequitur on a daily basis.
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
And the number of posts are dropping!
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Grog I notice to about JAD about his opions only one that matter. I tried to talk about an issue on strip and he got definsive. I don’t know if he reads this or not. I know this is public strip. Rmom I’m 54 and show it. On a lighter note my daughter is having one terrible time finding a male, don’t know why male I guess two female Golden retrivers don’t get alone seen it, and not having any luck. I’ll be nice here and not go into detail.
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
It’s been a while since we’ve had anything near 500 posts of late.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 14 years ago
Fellow Baby one more quick word before I head out my door here, in defense of a new found friend. Joe is actually a very nice man. I know he got carried away at times, but usually I think it was because he felt backed into a corner by some of the other posters. Even now that he’s gone, people still make mean nasty comments directed at him. Why? Are some of these posters that full of hate? They need to let it go. He’s gone. And you were wise, didn’t like his comments, you skipped them, that’s what anyone should do. It’s a shame some can’t be as mature as you. Oh dear, did I just call you mature? LOL! I NEVER said that! :-) Woof! Woof!
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
Kab, I have never seen him post here. Of course it wouldn’t mean that he couldn’t have been reading them.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Time for me to head to dinner. Kab - I appreciate you not going into detail. LOL!
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I beat you on that. Like I said lite meal. Too hot for much. I hope **Ladywolf and Lonewolf are having a better time and Lonewolf does okay on his pool terminates. You all have been nice letting me rant. Thank you
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
Thanks, Fellow Baby! (I think). I, too, wish others would have followed suit rather than bash him. It got to the point where he was taking a compliment as an insult. I like the “Joe Bashing” about as much as the political & religous commentary, which I will also tend to skip. If a strip such as Shoe, Ziggy or Non Sequitur attract political comments (even without the politial strip) I will avoid looking at the strip.
Anyway, I’ve said more than I care to on the subject(s).
It’s about time I start thinking about dinner.

Hi everyone, I’m back for the remainder of this day.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Here in western to northwestern looks like storms forming. Let’s see there is someone new that just posted a day or so that lives out that way. Joy&Piece I think. I wonder how she is doing. See I can say something else.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
About Joe, I never read everything that he posted, and when I did talk to him, he was very kind to me. So I never had any problems with him.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Ladywolf how was your day? Me I was a very bad one I almost hog the comments here, I have deleted some, I don’t want to be rude. Had to vent I guess not good for open forum.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Hi Doc, and yes I agree.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Kab Buch, I had a good day, and to me, I find you a delightful poster here.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Did all ready everything I wrote before I deleted and I’m not loosing my mind either, though I wonder if employer’s think so?
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Nice to see you up and about Doc.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
I’m am sorry I get frustrated with life I want so much better and I know I need to work at it. But money talks.
ladywolf17 over 14 years ago
Kab Buch I get frustrated lots of times as well. There are even things right now that I’m dealing with.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
Yea I guess youth have problems to. I frustrate my daughter then she gives it back.
Ladywolf and all who had computer problems heard so important news today. Computer software is not going to use X version going to 2007 or 2010. software. Evan hard drives are changing. I would have to ask again for more information. This will effect college.
kab2rb over 14 years ago
At least I stayed awake today typing. Rmom and I have a little in common and I won’t go into details.

Quabaculta over 14 years ago
I’m baackk. After getting lost in the western side of the armpit of the universe (lack of visible streetsigns, doesn’t help when you see them AFTER you’re in the intersection in the non-turn lane,,,then get turned around in your turn around and end up going over a bridge and a couple of miles with no turning allowed so back to the freakin’ interstate…etc)
Kab check with your counselor. Medical Transcription and Medical billing are certification tracks and don’t require that ‘core’ colleges require. They’re designed for us older folks trying to better ourselves.
Also, I don’t mind long posts. I tend to post large because I’m hither and thither. I have had my share of venting and rants, Anyone in the Tribe recall my rant concerning getting into the Rh- antibody program at Octoplasma? I was on vacation so I had plenty of time to pop back and forth, and it was rather educational as well. Like the others, if it gets boring or offensive I just move on to the next one.

Okay, I’ve tried three times to delete my double post and it won’t delete. Apologies for the double posting.

Ref: Joe.
I actually started emailing with him and he even asked me to do him a favor and let someone who posts on Gocomics and here at BT occasionally to stop referring to him. We won’t mention any names. He was fine with me through emails until this person gave their opinion of me and then he treated me rudely. He is doing the same thing with me that he complained about with others the way they treated him. To me that is the definition of a hypocrite.
Sorry, but I have taken as much as I can without stating my thoughts.
Rant over.

I got caught up in a Carson DVD that was longer than I thought it would be. Carson Goes Home. Very interesting.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Hi, tribe! Kab - I think hopeandjoy2 said she’s in the KC area - the MO side. Luv - Thanks! Just changed it to fit comments at Birdbrains, because I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to insert pictures in the comments. I use a standard keyboard & a separate mouse with my keyboard because I have the same problem. Once in a while if I go on a trip, I might not take a separate keyboard, but I’ve got a spare in my hubby’s trailer, so it is pretty rare I have to use the laptop’s keyboard.
Ooops! Premium Member over 14 years ago
I have to remember to put something over the mouse pad on the computer. Maybe I will make it a special little cover.
Oh Doc the new avatar is interesting. (giggles)
Thank you Grog

Doc - Your new avatar makes me think of either Yoda or Mother Theresa. Somehow, I’m somewhat surprised my mind came up with those two - never thought about their visual similarities before.

Hi, Sojo!
George Arnold over 14 years ago
I’ll be here for a few min. but will be leaving soon. I am doing the retouch work on my other computer in the other room. Done retouching for the night. Am having to learn the program as I use it. It’s different but like other programs I’ve used so for me it’s easy to figure out. It’s free and is developed like Open Ofice. It’s like Photoshop. You can get it at www.gimp.org
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Sojo - I’ve been using ACDSee for my photos. It has an editor, too. I haven’t used the editor too much, but am starting to learn my way around it. I used to use Adobe PhotoDeluxe (came with our first digital camera) but it doesn’t work well with Vista, which is what I’ve got. I haven’t asked my geek son what he uses, because I don’t want a 30 minute discussion on the subject. At least what I’ve got does what I need, so I’m satisfied.
Smiley Rmom over 14 years ago
Looking at the clock, guess I’d better head towards bed. Good night!
George Arnold over 14 years ago
If it works and does what you need that’s great! I first did a quick fix on the photos with the free Google program. It was very limited but did a fast and good enough job. I hadn’t used it before but only took a few min. to do. After looking at the photos I uploaded I found out the changes only showed when viewed through the Google program! I used to do photo work on multi-million dollar computer equipment (now done on desktop computers) and simple programs sometimes bug me, not being able to do what I want to. Usually though it’s overkill to try to do some things that are not needed. Getting used to working with RGB instead of CMYK is probably the hardest thing for me.
