Chatting with Gundi

I don't even know if I installed it correctly to know if it is a problem w/ the action or just a problem w/ me never using the stupid program before.

PSE 8, install action

you can get the exact location for your pc/mac

well, i've never used the stupid program before either,

but, i know that some actions are for CS2, cs3 only

some CS4 and above and some are for elements.

where did you get your action? does it say in the tou?

[GrandmaCrys]

Bye Crys, I'll miss you, you have my phone number... hey, give me a call from the road ok.

And, I promise to MIS BEHAVE while you are away ok!!!:yippee::yippee:

Yeah, while, Crys is gone, I can be BAD!!:yippee::yippee:

OOPS!!! I just now read this! Sorry, Miss Behave! :o :o

OK, here I sit staring at the store thinking, what photos can I use with all that lovely orange in Chris's Live and Love kits. I want the whole thing, including the WA (which I rarely buy, but I love those family definitions). I went so far as to look in my iPhoto for recent shots and low and behold I have one of DH doing science with the kids and guess what he is wearing: yep, and orange shirt. Is that enough for the VC? Well, if not, I can make a trip to the botanical gardens. I'm sure I can find some wonderful Orange flowers. Or maybe I can dig up an adorable orange outfit for DD!

What do you all think? Can I spend money on clothes that DD does not need just to buy a kit that I'm in love with?

Of course!! You're a scrapper. :D

Oh Christy, what a beautiful page of the two of you! It must have been so wonderful to be able to meet up and chat! :D

You all should meet McB!!! She has absolutely, beyond a doubt the MOST beautiful hair I have ever seen. Long, luscious and curly!! TO DIE FOR!!! And she's fun, and she's kind, and she and her girls are so thoughtful! And her girls are as adorable and vibrant IRL as they are on a scrap page! ;)

Awesome LO Christy! Isn't Crys the best?! I hope you all get to meet her one day!!

You are THE SWEETEST, addicted!! ;) Now, how much do I owe you? :confused:

[GrandmaCrys]

Miss Ing checking in! I had a wonderful time. On Monday, Jackson stayed home from Day Care to have a special *Grandma & Jackson* day. That is when we met McB and her lovely girls for lunch. Almost 3 yr olds are a handful and I was plumb tuckered at the end of the day; but we sure did have fun!!

On Tuesday, Alex stayed home and we had our special *Grandma & Alex* day! What fun. If my feet could have stood it, I could have kept him happy the entire day by walking him in his stroller. No matter how long the walks we took, he was NOT ready to get out!! What a sweetie he is.

[sands_healy]

Good news from Laura - her mom does NOT have lung cancer

she's still in ICU and in a lot of pain, but no cancer... yeah.. one small victory...

that's brilliant news....

[Christine]

LOL I am MAKING them :) actually I have it figured out now, at least in PSE8

[GrandmaCrys]

Chris, you are sooooooo smart! :D

Every time I put a child in a stroller they lapsed into unconsciousness.

[PQ]

That's right PQ, I'm the most behaved... haha

Well of course you are, Debilou. (PQ says, tongue in cheek - *there * there *It's ok, baby. We all know that you are very well behaved. * there * there).

[Christine]

Chris, you are sooooooo smart! :D

keep telling people that and maybe soon someone will believe it. :lol:

Yeah! If you talk to her again, give her hugs from us!

[idtwinmom]

Well, since I never used actions in PSE I can't help you. I think Deb's advice to check U-Tube is the best you're gonna get. Sorry! Although if I read right it seems you may have got it working.

Although there is very little here to write about, I've been super busy. Can you believe it has taken me since Sunday to finish 2 LOs. Now I have to find time today to get them posted.

[PQ]

I am over here hunting for Debilou because I have not spoken to her in two days and I am going into Debilou withdrawal.

[ReneT]

Hello my Gundi friends. I hope eveyone is doing well. I have alot going on right now, so don't really know what's going on with all of you, but I did read that Laura, you mom doesn't have cancer, so YAY for that!!!!! So glad. Hope she will feel better soon!!!!!

Are you all having fun with CIJ? Yesterday was Pioneer Day, which is a state holiday, sorta like a 2nd Fourth of July, where we celebrate our pioneer ancestors, who founded this state. Lots of fireworks, picnics etc abound. :)

As you probably saw, I figured out my actions issue, wahoo! oh but then I had a BIG issue with putting them in the store. For TWO days, I fussed with it. You see we have to fill out this form that has the links/description/title/model# etc etc and even though I did it the same way I do every other product I ever put in the store, it kept giving me an internal error. It was driving me CRAZY, nobody knew why it wasn't working. I finally went thru every field starting out w/ an old form that had already worked, checked that to make sure it still worked, then substituting in the new information, one field at a time until I got the error. Found out it was in my description, lovely that is by far the biggest field. Next I check the words, that worked. Hmmmm must be in the links, add those in and sure enough error, so I reworked the links about 5 times, kept getting the error, finally get sick of doing the word part and figure I will just work on the links until they are fixed and no error. Oh yay, I have it, so I add the words back in and there is a stinkin' error! So only words - ok, only links - ok, but together not so much. uggggg! I finally started w/ just the links, then added one paragraph, then one sentence, then one word at a time until I FINALLY narrowed it down to the word select. I had used the word select in saying select your pictures and apparently select is a word that html uses, so when there were links in the description too, it was making them be wonky. How crazy is that?! Once I changed the word to choose, the original description worked perfectly, can you believe that?! I could have stopped lots sooner and just done the words, but by that time I was BUGGED and bound and determined to figure out what the problem was. :rofl:

[debilou]

so, are the actions in the store yet??

Yeppers :D I am working on a few more too, but spent so much time fussing w/ these that I haven't finished them yet. LOL

[Christine]

Off to church soon so see you all later :D

[GrandmaCrys]

You are a human pit bull, Chris! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[idtwinmom]

Chris - I can totally relate! I've been having a similar battle except mine is with new or should I say upgraded software.

Vent Alert!
Mac girls: what do you use for finances. If it's Quicken, have you upgraded to the 2010? If yes, are you having problems with the "Update" feature and the way it talks to your bank? It says it talks to the bank, but it doesn't download anything! It doesn't show what's being updated at all. And, I hate that it doesn't require me to enter the password. This means if I have my machine worked on, I will have to completely remove the Quicken first (no way I'm trusting anyone to have access to that info!) (And not that it needs to be worked on often - it is a Mac :lol:) And one more irritation (I'm sure at this rate I will find more), it won't let me preference for it to enter the decimal point. I mean, come on, if you are going to make me 1. hit the New button for every transaction, 2. make me type every last detail, then 3. add the bloody decimal point every single time........... Argh! I hate the changes they have made this time!

[GrandmaCrys]

OOH! Lisa, I feel your frustration! :hug: :hug:

[idtwinmom]

Crys - are you using the 2010? Are you saying that you have these same problems. Quite frankly, I've complained so much today that DH says to check if there are any alternatives. Even though I spent the money on this upgrade I may spend more if it means going back to a reasonable banking software!

[Christine]

You are a human pit bull, Chris! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:rofl: I would pretend to be confused by this but I know exactly what you mean! I kept telling myself you are wasting time, you have so much to do, get over it all ready and just leave out the links, but I just could NOT leave it alone until I had the satisfaction of figuring it out :D

are these problems specific to the mac version? We use Quicken and upgraded to 2010, just because we HAD to to continue getting the stock update thingies. DH hates every time we have to upgrade so he certainly didn't do it willingly. But I don't think he is having these issues for I am certain I would have heard complaints and I know for sure that we have to enter a password to get into Quicken

[addicted]

Lisa, so glad your mom is doing well!

Chris, awesome new actions.

Lisa, I have always used quicken, but haven't got it on the Mac yet. So I am no help for you there. Now I leaning towards not getting it. Let me know if you figure it out.

I think I feel like my anxiety is finally diminishing! :yahoo::yahoo: Really, since I got back from UT I have been feeling normal again and I think I'm getting into the swing of things again. These past 8-9 months have been the hardest of my life. Ever since Ethan got sick and then moving, it has really rattled me. I'm hoping that things are finally going to get back into some sort of rhythm and I can do my hobbies again. And be able to keep up with you. :tup:

Anyway, just had a minute and wanted to catch up a bit.

Sorry, Lisa.. I quit using quicken when I went to the mac, because they didn't have a "real" version out then.. I'll have to check to see what they have now... the one they had out when I checked was free ware..

What I'm using is - all my accounts are on etrade.. so, I get all my info in one place, and their checking info can be sorted any way I need it...

[GrandmaCrys]

Nope, I use Quicken Home and Business 2009. :D I just know how frustrating things of that sort can be, since mostly NOTHING goes easily for me! :lol: :lol:

Addicted, I hope so much for you that this is true. Would love for you to be your old regular self who we see much more of! :hug: :hug: :hug: And I miss your scrapping!

[addicted]

Thanks Crys, I really want to scrap. I have tried and just nothing ever comes and I hate the LO and just trash it. :(

So I went to the DMV with my marriage certificate, because that's what they told me to bring in, but it wasn't a "county copy" so I'll be going back a 5th time. :mad: I had no idea that you got a certificate from the county and that the one from the church you got married at is only a "souvenir" in her words. So hopefully my mom can get it taken care of and send it to me and I can actually have a normal license.

[idtwinmom]

Oh, Heather, what a pain. I was so very lucky that transferring my license went so smoothly.

I went back to the old program yesterday, got everything done and then re-exported to the new program. I won't know until later in the week if it will download correctly, but at least I got my bills paid and balanced to the bank. Really, the things they took out was stuff I never used anyway, but if you are using it to track investments - don't buy the new Quicken Essentials. I'm going to have to look, but I'm sure this is all they do on the Mac anymore. After reading quite a bit I think I'm beginning to see some of the logic they used in this upgrade, but as a former bookkeeper, I'm not happy with that logic at all. I think it's just another example of the "dumbing down of America". If any of you here of a good alternative, I sure would be glad to look at it.

Hey all - don't miss the new Sunday Scrappers challenge for CIJ! We will even have a random winner for a coupon to the store! Woot!

Congrats Crys!!!!!!!

I have a couple Mac ?'s for anybody that can understand what I'm asking. :rofl:

1- Is there an easy way to resize something or do you just open PS and do it in there?

2- What is Snow leapord?

3- How do I open up to see files so I can find what I'm looking for? I knew I saved something but couldn't remember where. So I had to open excel just to hit open to see where it was. Does that make sense???

[addicted]

Sorry, on ? #2, I specifically want to resize a PDF page. If that helps you at all?!?!

[idtwinmom]

trying to post but keep getting an error

[idtwinmom]

No matter what I do, it won't let me post or PM my response. I have PMd you to email me and I can send you my reply to your post.

[Christine]

Thanks, Rene! :hug: :hug: This is why Chris MUST continue to design in orange from time to time. :D :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

oh yeah cuz it is just such my fave!

[debilou]

Congrats Crys!!!!!!!

1- Is there an easy way to resize something or do you just open PS and do it in there?

I don't really understand this one...

2- What is Snow leapord?

Snow Leopard is MAC's latest OPERATING System - most new macs come with it installed - they name all of their operating systems with CAT names. The one before SNOW leopard was LEOPARD.

You can tell if you are running on SNOW LEOPARD by Clicking on the APPLE in the top left corner of Workspace - Click on ABOUT THIS MAC

If you are running version 10.6 or later - you are on Snow leopard - or you can check your DVD's that came with your mac - if you See a SNOW-y Leopard on them - you have Snow Leopard.


3- How do I open up to see files so I can find what I'm looking for? I knew I saved something but couldn't remember where. So I had to open excel just to hit open to see where it was. Does that make sense???

Spotlight is the way to find Anything on your entire mac.
in the very right corner on your workspace you will see a magnifying glass.
type in what you are looking for. Say you are looking for a layout your started, but you don't know where you saved it..

Click on the magnifying glass - it opens a tiny search box. type in what you are looking for.. from there you can narrow down your search..

[debilou]

oh yeah cuz it is just such my fave!

I loved the orange too, Christine...

I will love it, when I scrap my "hook um horns" layouts...

thanks for it..

[>>aruaL<<]

Honeyyyyy I'm homeeeeeee! LOL! :-)

Sooooo HAPPY to be home. But feel totally guilty leaving my mother. BUT, I have to remind myself that MY KIDS need a mother too... so here I am :-) I think this weekend we will ALL go see my mom, and me and DH will take the kids to the Orange County Fair. Maybe, I might be content on just being home. We'll see. I love being at my parents, but I love being home too. I wish I lived much closer cause then I can have the best of both worlds. Oh well.

Thank you for all the messages on the board, email and PM. I really appreciate the thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement. Its been a hard road, but an even harder one for my mom since she's the one going through it. She's doing VERY well today though.

I have one huge wish.... for her to STOP smoking. It's been about 10 days now, I hope she doesn't ever pick up another one. I want her around for a very long time. Fingers crossed that she does this!!

Soooo.... whats new with you? :-)

[addicted]

Thanks Debi. I think I'm going to learn about my Mac a lot more so I can use what it has to offer. :)

Laura, glad you're home and that your mom is doing better. I hope things keep working out for you and her.

Laura - so glad you are back! I know that giving up smoking is very hard! I did it about 12-13 years ago, now. And believe me, it's the best thing I ever did. I would not have the wonderful husband I have, nor the kids if I had not quit when I did. Of course, the health benefits are good too, but those are my best reasons for never going back. :lol:

Thank you Lisa. I know it's going to be so hard for her to quit, but I sure hope she does it. It would do her health a world of good and perhaps she'd even be able to toss out the hundreds of inhalers she uses each day... ok, not hundreds but it sure seems like its hundreds! She had a massive heart attack last year, breast cancer the year before, an aneaurysm this Summer, a lung cancer scare this Summer, emphasyma (sp) this year... and shall I go on?! She *MUST* quit! She *NEEDS* to quit!! I LOVE HER, I want her around for a long long time... she's too young to give up now! I will be so heartbroken if she keeps smoking. I want her to WANT to be around for herself AND for us and her grandchildren. We are rootin' for her, I hope she does it. She hasn't SAID she will quit... we are just begging and watching. It's about all we can do.

I am doing a LO :shocked: and on my PC I would hit shift (I think) and click on the layer and it would select that layer. How do I do that on the Mac? It's driving me crazy.

[addicted]

Have fun Chris!!! I love Lake Powell.

[addicted]

I figured it out. I know I tried the command button before so not sure why it didn't work.

[ReneT]

Hello Gundi Girls!!!!!

[addicted]

Hi Rene!!

So I actually did a LO :yahoo: and I went to save for web and have no idea what to put in it to resize the LO. So if someone wants to tell me how, I can load a LO!!!!

[Shana34]

Hey all! I can't sleep right now, I'm too excited! Tomorrow (well today actually) I'm going to get my haircut (they can't do a French Twist with how long it is right now) and trying on my dress for the last time and bringing it home! Just a week from Friday (or tomorrow I should say!) My little sister is going to be a Mrs....wow!

Sorry I've been so quiet, but I was struggling with the depression and anxiety for a while. I didn't really want to post and be all doom and gloom. I'm starting to feel more myself, I think it's just all the stress and such leading up to the wedding. Now that all the family activities are starting, I seem to be getting into better spirits. But, I'm still going to talk to my psychiatrist about going onto the MAOIs. I can't keep going down like that. I'm a little nervous...and I will probably have to go into the hospital for a while. My psychologist actually thought I probably should have these past few weeks, but I was trying to hang on to make it through the weddings. So far so good. If I have to go into the hospital afterward, so be it.

Laura - so glad your mother is doing better and you're home. You've been in my thoughts and prayers.
Heather - Glad you're feeling better and getting back into the swing of things. I've been thinking and praying for you as well!!
Chris - have a good time you traveler you! :D

What software do you scrap with Heather? Are you talking about what size to resize to? If so, it's usually 600x600 px.

[ReneT]

Congrats Shana! Whoo hoo!!!!

Shana, thanks and right back at ya! And CONGRATS on LOTD!!!!!!

Rene, I'm using CS4 so I'll try the 600x600. Thanks!

OK it didn't work very well when I saved my LO for the web. It's not clear and looks funny http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=365457&title=lounging&cat=1348. How do I save it correctly?

It doesn't look funny to me and I have a pretty big screen. Not sure what you're seeing.

Here are the settings on mine:

File>Save for web & devices.

On the Save for Web Screen:
Preset - JPG High
Quality - 60
Blur - 0
Optimized checked
Convert to sRGB checked
Image Size - 600x600px
Percent - 100

See if those are your settings.

[addicted]

Rene, I went back in and saw the quality was at 6, so I changed it to 60 and whala! So sorry I didn't come back and post that it was looking better. But I am going to check and see if all my setting are what you just posted.

[Christine]

Hey I am back, need to try to catch up. We had a wonderful trip to Lake Powell. For anybody not from around here/ never heard of Lake Powell, it is truly an incredible place to visit! Lots of red rock canyons and the rock formations are just WOW! The one scary part was when we planned this trip ages ago, we did NOT know there were going to be lots of thunderstorms during our stay and we were CAMPING. I mean real camping, throw all of the stuff in the boat and find a place to put up tents somewhere in one of the canyons, kind of camping. No utilities of any sort, not even water or potties. The scary thing was in the morning & afternoon it would be nice weather, then at night the storms would move in, way too late to do much about it, except ride it out. We didn't actually get much rain, just some sprinkles but the wind would pick up (mmmmmm yummy sand in our dinner LOL) then about bedtime it started to thunder and lightning on some nights. EEEEK! Can I tell you how much it made me appreciate my house?! As I am lying there in a flimsy tent, that is being blown around a bit and the thunder is booming and the lightning was lighting up the sky like midday, knowing we can't really even leave as there are no lights in the canyon to get back to where the truck was parked, my thoughts kept asking "and we are doing this why?!" But then morning would come and all would be well and another gorgeous day would start. :D At any rate, we are back safe and sound and had a super trip.

Oh and one other cool thing, we had the first of our "new additions" to our family today. We have been raising monarch butterflies. Casey and the kids found a bunch of monarch caterpillars a few weeks ago, we have been finding milk weeds wherever we could to feed them until they went into their chrysalises. We were worried about the timing of the trip, but thought we would be back just in time for the first one to come out. The last ones just started theirs when we left, so we didn't have to worry about them being fed while we were gone. Talk about perfect, the first one came out today just after we got home. I got a few pictures before we went to church. I was hoping he would still be drying wings when we got home, but we put him out on a branch outside before we went just in case. I guess I should say tried to put him on a branch cuz he felt the breeze and decided the wings were plenty dry thank you very much and off he flew. Hopefully I will get some better pics of them w/ their wings open on the rest of the butterflies.

[Christine]

I remember going down there in August a lot when I was a kid and I don't ever remember it like this. Of course, we had a houseboat and I was the kid, so probably slept right thru it. LOL.

I think I better change my avi. My project for tonight after I get the kids.

Glad I DL'ed the right one then. Thanks for the replies.

[idtwinmom]

Chris - glad you made it home safe and sound. The butterflies sound like so much fun. I keep wanting to buy one of those Ladybug kits and let the kids grow those. And get this: I've looked all summer for ants to use in the ant farms we got. I saw one the other day, but the kids would not follow it and find its home, and I had a flying one land on my at the air show yesterday (but of course there was no way to capture it while standing on the tarmac at an air show!)

Yep - we went to an air show yesterday. We had a lot of fun, but boy people are rude. I had more adults shove their way in front of the kids. And I was totally not quiet about it either. On the other hand, I must have offered to 20 kids that they could stand in front of DH and I so that they could see. Most of the parents were very grateful, but you had a few..... I took so many pictures I totally filled one card. Don't know the total yet, but I know it's well over 500. I've never filled the card before. Well, I'm off to go pull them from the camera and see what I really got.
Hugs!

[idtwinmom]

Oh, and Heather. I never use Safari except to check my blog (but since I've not written anything on that in a couple months, you know how much I use Safari :lol:). I do everything in Firefox as it's more stable and more compatible with the rest of the world.

Do you even have a CLUE how many digital kits I could buy with 9400.00 bucks!!! And thats just the beginning...... ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! And to think the year hasn't even started yet!

I am EXTREMELY thankful though that because of DH being a disabled veteran, DD's tuition is paid for! Wait, that doesn't sound right... I'm not thankful that DH is a disabled veteran (although he might be thankful when he sees that huge chunk being wiped off her college account... hahahaha), I'm thankful that our children receive this wonderful and generous benefit. There, that sound better? LOL!
We have to pay for dorm and books and other non-waivered fees and such. Even so, I'm very appreciative!

Not too far... only about an hour and a half or so.
She starts in September!

We are going DORM shopping today!! Im so excited! Oh, and sad. LOL!

She also got official notice that her dorm assignment is the larger dorm room, three closets! She's excited about that! ahaha...

AND.... DD's BFF got funding!!! So she gets to go to college with DD for sure!
But you know what we realized last night? Her mother STOLE the 1200.00 scholarship money that our high school awarded to C. STOLE HER KIDS SCHOLARSHIP MONEY RIGHT FROM C's BANK ACCOUNT!!!!!! WHO does that!!!
But whatever, she's under my roof now... and I will see to it that she gets her dorm essentials..... her mother can stick it! She got almost her entire first year being paid for with GRANTS! Yay! I want so much for her to do well... and to not be on welfare like she has been raised on. I want her to be able to stand on her own two feet! I hope that DD will be able to help her with this!

I hope when it's her time to answer up, that she is slapped across the face for being so gosh dang PATHETIC!! I knew she was scum... but this is a new low for her, I think. BFF called her mom and asked her "what happend to my scholarship money?". Her mother had the NERVE to say "I figured you didn't need it anymore since Kaylin's parents are taking care of everything. I used it to buy a new laptop for me and your brother". WHAT!!!!! I'm taking care of her essentials... her daily needs.... roof, clothing, food, etc.... I'm NOT paying for her COLLEGE! I'm paying for her dorm essentials.... where in the book does that mean COLLEGE DORM AND TUITION?!! Oh how I hate that woman.....

[Christine]

yeah that is unbelievable! I have CPR training this morning and then Cub Scouts this afternoon, which I have to finish getting ready for, plus MOUNDS of laundry to fold (gee aren't you jealous? :) ) I soooooooo hope I can work in some computer time somewhere.

[Christine]

and Laura, can't you do something like call the cops etc? That seems crazy that there is NO recourse.

[>>aruaL<<]

Ohh Christine, I"ll toss in my towels that need folding into your pile... you may not notice and get them folded for me! hehe

I don't think the cops can do anything because her mother technically didn't STEAL it.... she's on the bank account, because it was opened when C was just 16 so she had to have a parent on there. She turned 18 recently and just never even thought to remove her mom, just didn't cross her mind... until last night when this happend. She can most likely take her to small claims court though. We have proof of what was in the account before the scholarship money was deposited... the BEFORE amount was less than 200 bucks... so the money withdrawn is OBVIOUSLY scholarship money and would be easy to prove. Also have proof of where the 1200 came from... so her mother can't try and say something stupid like "I loaned her the money" or something like that. All of her scholarship money came in, and I drove her to the bank to deposit it. It was all put into the account in a lump sum on the same day. And it was REMOVED all at once as well... she took out the 1200 plus another 60.00. So she kicked her kid out and left her with less than 200 bucks to her name. What an awesome mom!

I think today on our way outta town we'll stop by the courthouse and check into doing a small claims action. Problem is, her mother doesn't have anything to her name so C will NEVER see the 1200 again. Never. I wonder if she is suppose to report that 1200 to welfare...surely welfare would want to know that she had 1200 to her name this past month and was able to buy laptops..... hmmmmmm!

[Christine]

oh yeah I agree Welfare should know grrrrr

[Christine]

Where is everyone?! Don't you know you are all on call to be here when I get back? :rofl: I started a new BAG, so come on over and play!

[idtwinmom]

Laura - it's pitiful what some people will do. One of the knitter's group I go to has a son in Afghanistan. While away, he put her on his account so she could handle any bills, etc... that came up. So, what does she do to the son that she nearly cries about every week when we are together - steals $3000 from his account to pay her credit card bill. I came very close to physical violence with that one! Some of our group is contemplating moving to a new location (and not telling the others where we've gone!)

Chris - I'm in the same boat as you, although no scouts. Instead I have a full day of school with the kids (was supposed to be 1/2 day but they dilly dallied again this morning) and 3 full baskets of laundry I barely got washed and still needs to be folded. Oh, and if I don't go to the grocery we won't have lunch tomorrow (unless the eat more cereal :lol:).

Hey there! I finally had time to unload the camera. Can you believe I took 949 pictures on Sunday! I trashed 140 and could get rid of more, but thought there might be some value to them. All that, and I will most likely use about 8. :lol: I did post a few on Facebook, so take a peak, but thought I would post this one here:

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs305.snc4/40603_140624309302755_100000655602436_252511_53792 1_n.jpg

You should have heard him when I asked if I could take the picture. He thought it was hilarious, especially when I told him it was to share with my scrapping friends.

[>>aruaL<<]

I'm here! I was busy alllllllll day today installing SNOW LEOPARD on my mac! Had a few glitches, and Debilou spent all day with me helping to resolve the issues. It looks like we have fixed some issues and found workarounds for others. I would NOT have been able to do that without her help, so I am extremely grateful for her kindess. It was an ALL DAY thing!

Now I can order CS5 (Im back to CS4 right now cause my trial for CS5 ran out..shucks!) and get it installed on my snow leopard... and HOPEFULLY it won't crash alll the dang time like it did on my Leopard. I was going to just stick with my CS4 and Leopard, since it's working beautifully... no crashes, etc.... but eh, I like to live dangerously sometimes, so I'm risking it!

I think before I could go to CS5 I would need to do something about my RAM. And turns out this machine can only handle 4 GB, so not sure how well it would run! Darn, guess that means DH is just going to have to buy me the Macbook Pro and CS5 together! :lol:

Mine is maxed out at 4 Lisa, and I don't believe that had anything to do with my crashing. I know of several people who run it beautifully with just 4.

But... don't tell your DH that, if your wanting to have an excuse for a new computer. LOL!

[idtwinmom]

Yeah, I want the excuse to get a laptop so that just maybe I could go to a crop. Since the lappie died, I've got nothing that is portable!

Hey all! Just got back from my sister's second bachelorette trip to Niagara Falls. It was amazing. I really have to write my toast and I'm putting it off right now so I'm just popping in to say hi....but chances are I'll get engrossed in everything I missed! LOL :hug: to everyone! I missed you all!

Hi Shana, miss you too!!

I haven't had a chance to scrap just for fun, for so long I decided to play along w/ trendsetters and get some creative juices flowing. Here's my page if you want to see :)

AWESOME! Love it!

Hey there! I finally had time to unload the camera. Can you believe I took 949 pictures on Sunday! I trashed 140 and could get rid of more, but thought there might be some value to them. All that, and I will most likely use about 8. :lol: I did post a few on Facebook, so take a peak, but thought I would post this one here:

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs305.snc4/40603_140624309302755_100000655602436_252511_53792 1_n.jpg

You should have heard him when I asked if I could take the picture. He thought it was hilarious, especially when I told him it was to share with my scrapping friends.
Holy crap that is huge! I would have wanted a pic too.

I'm here! I was busy alllllllll day today installing SNOW LEOPARD on my mac! Had a few glitches, and Debilou spent all day with me helping to resolve the issues. It looks like we have fixed some issues and found workarounds for others. I would NOT have been able to do that without her help, so I am extremely grateful for her kindess. It was an ALL DAY thing!

Now I can order CS5 (Im back to CS4 right now cause my trial for CS5 ran out..shucks!) and get it installed on my snow leopard... and HOPEFULLY it won't crash alll the dang time like it did on my Leopard. I was going to just stick with my CS4 and Leopard, since it's working beautifully... no crashes, etc.... but eh, I like to live dangerously sometimes, so I'm risking it!

Is it worth is to upgrade to CS5?

[Christine]

Have any of you guys got CS? I need to track someone down who still has just the plain Photoshop CS. I am trying to figure out something with my actions but I only have cs3 and cs4, so I need a guinea pig :)

[Christine]

Heather haven't seen you over in the BAG thread, get over there girl. :) Several others too, but just saw that Heather's light is on right now. :lol:

I actually have been, but was to intimidated to post my idea :rofl: the others are too good! I really have no creative ideas so I just watch it come along!!

OK, on my PC I right click and there is an option to rename. How do I on the Mac? And when I'm using the selection tool and want to undo the last point, how?

Oh and what is the best way to bring in new fonts?

[ReneT]

What do you think you could do with that Rene? Carolyn says it's a 600mm. I didn't take time to ask as I was the only one watching all our stuff. But I was jealous as all heck!

Probably not any better than I do now. :rolleyes: Good grief it's huge! I bet that costs a lot!!!!

[ReneT]

OK, on my PC I right click and there is an option to rename. How do I on the Mac? And when I'm using the selection tool and want to undo the last point, how?

You just click once on the file, then slowly click on it again (not fast double click) and the file name will be highlighted in light blue and then you rename it.

Thanks Rene, I will try that out!

So yesterday I was going to post how "Ethan got sick the last night and didn't get croupy" and I was all excited, but then last night he woke up with it. Bummer, however he did make it to night 2 rather than right off. The only thing that's not great is I will be leaving him ALL day tomorrow so I've been telling my sister what to watch for.

[debilou]

I don't know what other people do, but I have a folder in my digiscrap folder for fonts, so I add them there, then drag the actual font down to the Font Book in the tray.

Thats what I do too.... but admittedly I do get lazy and forget to put them in my digiscrap folder first... I often end up dragging them right from dowload folder down to the dock for installing.... later, I realize I have a trillion fonts sitting in download folder needing a home *ooops!*

[debilou]

yes, keep your bought or freebie fonts separte - however you do that..

I keep mine in a folder in the documents folder (called Extra fonts)

along with other extras for photoshop
like Actions, styles, etc..

then I move them into (my user name)> Library > fonts

which puts them into font book...

either way gets them there

NO matter what - don't move them DIRECTLY into font book, you need to keep system fonts some how separated from your freebie and bought fonts.

[debilou]

hmm, which one was it... one on the Gundi Thread i know...

Also, Heather

when you go into font book

you should validate your fonts

and, check for duplicates

just go into your applications folder

start Font book

Go to Edit > Select All

Edit Resolve Duplicates

Go Back toi Edit > Select All

Go to File - Validate Fonts

you will get a window of all of your fonts

Green is good
yellow - warning
RED - BAD - DELETE - now!

there are about 23 or so dsp fonts that (THAT ARE YELLOW) I have notified dsp about - and, they are really ok.. leave those.. all new fonts, from DSP have been fine!

The rest of your fonts in the yellow category - you decide...


In preferences - check Validate fonts before installing

you should be good to go.

[>>aruaL<<]

umm... uhhh.... *looking around....* ... uhhhh..... whooo woulddd that be?!! ahaha...

ummm... ehhh.... what happens if .. uhh.. say a person... uhh.. .welll... gets lazy and uhh.. well hasn't always kept the two (bought/system) fonts separate? *cringe*

I mean... is there like a hell for font lazy people? Cause I think I may be heading there if there is! Uh Oh!!!

What is the purpose of validating fonts? I'm confused. :confused:

[debilou]

What is the purpose of validating fonts? I'm confused. :confused:

The purpose of Validating fonts is:

BAD fonts make your system crash...

so, you don't want them...

if for example you loaded a BAD, BAD font

if you simply BRING up the type tool in CS, CS will crash

you don't have to use BAD BAD font

only BRING UP THE TYPE TOOL, and try and use a good font.

and, CS will CRASH...

or Could crash, depending on how bad, the bad font is

[addicted]

Wow, I better go check to see what I have done. I was dragging a font into the font book and I couldn't ever see what happened to it. I'll have to go see what I can do about organizing my fonts. Don't want to get Debi peeved at me! :rofl:

BUT... don't ya feel so much better that ya all organized and using a PEN instead of a crazy MOUSE!!??

Pens rock!! :-)

I am pretty good about keeping organized... on my computer.... LOL... but sometimes Im a tad lazy about it, and then I have to play 'catch up' .. ugh.

[>>aruaL<<]

Rene, I leave my yellow ones if I haven't had issues with them.. but, then again, I only have 2 yellows. I have zero red...

yay!!

[ReneT]

I had 29 yellow ones, but lots of them were DSP fonts and all of them are ones I've used in the past and not had any problems with. So I'm just going to leave them.

Is there a way to take out the fonts you don't regularly use and leave the ones you do, but still have them available if you want to add them later?

[debilou]

Sure.

[ReneT]

Sure.

this is all I could find

To check for problems with installed fonts using the Console application:
Open Console, located in /Applications/Utilities.


In the Console window, type “font” or a font name (such as “Arial”) in the Filter field.
Console displays a detailed list of font-related log messages. These messages might contain information about corrupt or missing fonts, for example. Although the messages may be too technical for some users to understand, they can provide valuable information to a support technician assisting you with a problem.


Do NOT CONFUSE ME with a Support Technician!!!

On Mac:
Right click = CTRL + Click
For any command that you used to CTRL + something, do CMD (command) + that same thing. So to undo: CMD + Z

Hey all just popping in. Just got home from the reception....man it's all so surreal. I keep thinking "did my little sister REALLY just get married?" Got through my toast...not without a lot of tears, but got through it none-the-less. The pictures seemed neverending after the ceremony....and I can not WAIT to scrap them. We were at a local park at one point and all these kids were staring at us getting our pictures done, so one of the groomsmen yelled for all of them to get in a picture....so my sister has a picture of all the wedding party with about 30-40 random kids from Binghamton. LOL We were joking that it should be used as a local park ad.

Well, I need some sleep right now, but I just wanted to check in. I should be around more starting next week when all the family is back to their hometowns. :D Hope everyone's doing well!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:

Im awake... barely...but Im awake.

Was up til 2:35am... talking with DD. She had a total meltdown. I knew something was coming, but did't know when or why. She's scared... she's scared to death of going to college... AND she and her boyfriend had their first disagreement yesterday. Im not worried about the boyfriend, he's a nice boy BUT I prefer he just quietly go away. I can't put my finger on any ONE thing, and the things I can, they aren't major... just... eh.. I don't know... just me being a mom I guess.. but I am not worried about their disagreement, I'm so excited that DD said what she said to him. Im proud of her. If he doesn't like it, he can gladly take a hike, I'm okay with that... DD will be heartbroken, but she'll get over it. She's beautiful, bright and strong.... she don't need to worry about that stuff, she'll eventually find another boy she likes, just as much.. or even more. Is it mean of me to say that Im secretly hoping they break up? Ha! Yes, it's mean. I know it is. I don't want her to be sad, but I also know it will be better for her. I know it will be!

As for college.... she's just scared of every bit of it... making new friends, doing well in school, living on her own (well in the dorm, but you know what she means..), etc.
My poor baby girl is SCARED OUT OF HER MIND!!!! And so now, Im wondering if maybe we should find a new route for her to take for the next couple years....maybe I should encourage her to stay home and go to community college... or maybe this is all normal feelings and she'll get over it all quickly? I don't know if this is all normal or if its because she's a newly 17yo? She normally makes friends VERY easily... she's extremely funny and very kind, so people like being around her. But, she's scared they won't be her friend at college, because of her age. I think she's wrong... many of them are only 18 and 19, surely a year or two in age won't matter to them.

Ahhhh... it's hard watching your kiddo be so sad :-(

She does have her first JOB now.... she was suppose to start 3 weeks ago, but they stink and are just starting her TODAY! She's excited about that!! She'll still work there when she comes home, on weekends.... if she can handle both school AND work, if not, she'll quit. School is priority.

Ive rambled, Im sorry!!

no, you are being a mom...

she's just scared... this is a big new chapter in her life...

I don't know how to do that

I didn't even know how you got rid of the stuff you did out of that one smart collection you had... hhahhahah

no clue..

I never heard of one

well, ok

you could make another smart collection

Let's say you wanted - I'm just making this up

but

Nicole Young - and overlays

that would be a sub set of one of your smart collections..

[ReneT]

Hugs to you and your DD Laura. Growing up is hard and so is being a mom!!!! I'm sure it's scary to her going away at the age of 17. But she would probably be just as scared if she were 18. KWIM? I remember you said she had no trouble talking to new people when ya'll went up to register, so I'm sure she won't have any problems making friends.

Thanks Rene.

This is exactly what I told her... even if you are leaving home at age 25..or 30..whenever... first time is always scary! And, I reminded her about the girls she's already made friends with, she's kept in touch via Facebook... but I think no matter what I say to her at this point, its in one ear and out the other! LOL!

[>>aruaL<<]

Debi, right now I have smart collection for things like "Frame", "Overlays" etc... but they get kinda lost in the list.... I would like one called SUPPLIES and then in that one all of my other smart collection folders for "frames" etc... lol

Im asking for too much maybe... hmmmm...

[debilou]

Can you create a smart collection

NOT paper, not preview, not QC.., not alpha.

wouldn't that pretty much cover it.

[>>aruaL<<]

I dont think I'm followin ya.... what ya mean?

And... hows that beer drinkin, smoking, and loungin' dog coming along on his fishing trip?

[debilou]

hush

[ReneT]

I'm having an identity crisis. :cry::cry::cry:

[addicted]

You should be Rene, cause I am for you!

Laura, sorry about your dd. But I agree with Deb and Lisa, it's all part of life. She'll adjust and everything will be great!

Chris hope you are feeling better.

Shana, so glad the wedding went great. Pics will be fun!!

We went to Disneyland yesterday and had a lot of fun. We saw the new "World of Color" show in CA adventure. It was AMAZING. Think of the Bellagio with color and movie clips in the mist. Ethan didn't come, he's sick again and I got it from him and it's miserable! He is doing better now, so it seems he just gets sick here every month. :(

[ReneT]

Glad you guys had fun! Poor Ethan. Hope you both feel better soon.

[Christine]

dang Heather that is miserable with him getting sick all the time :( glad you had fun though :)

Wee my cousin just uploaded some pics from the actual wedding. The one of me isn't as bad as I was worried they'd be. (I just worry because I've gained so much weight, but hey...I'm big and beautiful!)

And I think the priest mentioned something about my sister being demure during the ceremony....I might be able to use this as blackmail (notice the double beer-ing going on lol....)

Thank you so much Rene. Yes I took the photo about 3 years ago and have never used it. :D

[sands_healy]

Rene I'll go with you!

No he didn't Heather :(. I was so disappointed cos one guy said he saw it but he was on his own at the time but he said he got it on film. They were staying to dive the next day so I never got confirmation if it was true or not.

I've been so down lately I was hoping a whale shark siting would help lift my spirits :)

[sands_healy]

Shana, great photos! You looked beautiful.
