Question on PSP XI: How do you make the object stop jumping to a new postiion when you resize it? It's driving me crazy and I'm already bonkers enough, LOL.

We got the hard work done re: closing the pool, just waiting now for it to drain down enough so I can finish securing the cover and that job is done!!! 3 wks late, but better late than never... :twins: :twins: :twins:

I'm working on my ATC card right now while pool finishes draining, having fun

Hugs to all, BBL

There must be an "Snap to Grid" or "Snap to Guides" somewhere that has to be unchecked maybe?!! I havent got PSPXI loaded anymore (it was a demo). It is under VIEW on the top menu on PSP9.

ANYWAY...with a tripod and a camera with a timer you don't NEED someone else. So, whenever I come from the hairdresser's I try to get a decent photo of myself.

Good idea about the tripod, there are several hiding in the garage somewhere! My friend wants me to take some photos of her so when she croaks she will have a nice photo selected that they can display by the coffin!

She said she has been to funerals and everyone has had to hunt high and low for a decent photo of old grandma and often they choose one that is awful or way to young and no one recognises her. So she wants one of a mature age but a bit glammed!! She said her grandson is always telling her how much he loves the wabbly bits under her chin!!

Give me some dates and I'll book us some gigs. You will let me play dulcimer and be part of the band, won't you? We'll get famous and rich and buy our own jet so we can visit all our granny friends. :twins: :twins:

I think it must be about bedtime for me.

But first, here is the link to my ATC that I worked on for hours and hours. I admit to hiding most of the wrinkles (thank you CS3). I didn't deliberately hide the gray hairs (I have a naturally frosted look) but see they are gone too.

The San Antonio obits are full of photos of people who look like they are in their 20s but they died in their 70s. Who in the world is going to recognize someone from a 50 y.o. photo? Maybe that's the only photo they had. LOL!

Vallie · 09-23-2007, 09:56 PM

Yes, I have seen photos that look like they were taken in college that may as well be strangers. In the obits they'll have this photo then say the person was 90 years old!

Must see what is in my humble stash for a card!

We will have to get a drummer for our band. Anyone bang a drum? Toot a flute?

Almost bedtime here too. I just posted this LO of my husband reading a science book to Nicholas. He so wants to learn how everything works. First Class Books
Nicole...I hope they started you on the meds immediately, so that the shingles don't spread. Those are so painful too. Special hugs to you.
I'm going to read backwards, so WOS and WVS and WEES for now.
Hugs, prayers and red threads everybody.

Victoria · 09-23-2007, 10:03 PM

Kasha, hugs and so glad that the boys are safe.

Victoria · 09-23-2007, 10:06 PM

Wonderful to see real live photos of you and Kay, Vallie. You all look fabulous!

09-23-2007, 10:10 PM

I can play a teeny tiny bit of piano, but I have 3 in-house guitarists (well, one is across the world right now)...can we join the band too?

(I had taught long enough to keep control with "the look.")

Omi, I should have read this BEFORE I taught the 5th and 6th grade Sunday School class this morning.

Will test this out next week!!!

When I was talking to Kay she said her son was a Body Boarder. And I said I guess he has to watch out for Sharks off Selth Efrika as the white pointers are really big around there. Well this is where the excent gits in der way. He is not a Body Boarder, he is a Body Builder! And he is going to Las Vegas to watch the championships there.

I should have know there is no beach in Nevada!!

I would have loved to overhear your conversation. Well, I would have loved to have met both of you in person. Glad you got the chance to meet Kay.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

Nicole, I hope you heal quickly. From what I've heard, shingles are no fun at all!!!

BethHardy · 09-23-2007, 11:25 PM

Hey, I just noticed that I've gone over 3,000 posts. I surely have been posting a lot since I joined the Granny Thread!!! I also notice that I'm stacking them up like waffles here since no one else seems to be around. I think I am caught up with reading the thread and commenting on layouts, and I've only stayed up an hour later than I intended.

So, since there is no one to say goodnight to,
I'll just say good morning to the down-unders.

WOS and WVS
