Oh Rick I am really being dense - first yes the youtube link is only for linking a youtube page to senior and friends - I was using it as a reference to direct a look at the one next to it that looks like a framed picture - now onward to this dilemma for me - ok it appears from what you are saying we first have to take the photo and put it in our pictures on our computer and next click on the title Senior and Friends that the letters look like thick blue scroll on the top of the page - which leads to a page that starts with a message

Welcome to the Home of

The Seniors & Friends Village

Click on the word "Forum"
in the buttons above to get to our discussions.

and then in the next boxed in area is always for me only 5 links to 5 different topics with a recent post - problem for a long time I did not realize it only showed 5 and some of my favorites had new posts that I did not know about - anyhow to go on - along the side there is a miniature photo that someone from the group took and it is showing which is followed by

I hit unread and any post from that first page that I have not read is shown and sometimes the new posts from the forums that do not show up beyond the 5 will show in this list

again if I click on Senior & Friends I see nothing that says REPLY -

OK Rick let's take this up tomorrow probably afternoon before I get on here - it is just about 8: and I still have not eaten supper - I'm getting bug eyed - so I don't want to be rude but my brain is already dense on what this procedure it so the better part of valor is to not try and understand when I'm hungery and tired - till tomorrow... thanks

To post in S&F properly you will need some type of photo program.

Here is a copy of the information I used to prepare a photo and/or graphic for posting.

After you've scripted your code or lettering for your post, click the bottom area that says "Click or drag files here."

Click your edited photo, graphic, or screenshot, wait a second so it clears visually, then hit post.

You'll notice that under the screenshot it says 94.3 KB; that is what the photo will be posted at. The 110.48 KB at the bottom shows the original dimensions before you prepare to post. Remember, the photo's longest side must be no more than 800 pixels.

No. no, no. We likely all have different setups so it becomes difficult to explain some things clearly. Late here and I'm on the way to bed. As you suggest, Ill try tomorrow to a better job.
Goodnight.

Ok Rick I do not think we are going to get very far with this today - I did far too much yesterday, still trying to work out a reasonable amount of time to devote to tasks given my aging body - and so today my body is rebelling

Two things - by right clicking photos on the internet, facebook or not, sometimes they allow me to save them and some not. Assuming I can save, just because it goes into my picture collection, which I have many saved and so naming them so a temporary new photos is easy to get at, usually requires a group of the letter A with the number 1 - Anyhow to save a picture does not automatically turn it into a HTTP link. I have to download somewhere on a site that will accept the picture that does not have an HTTP link - and yes, I do have a site on Tumblr where I can do that and then get rid of it on that site however, successfully now I've a link that starts with the HTTP.

I'm assuming that is what Senior & Friends offers - a way to turn a photo into a HTTP link - and then, with the HTTP link I can put the HTTP address into the link provided to us on the top of our posts that is located on that instruction bar where we change the size, color and so forth our posts - next to the one that allows us to put a link to Youtube is the icon with what looks like a framed picture - by using that link we can easily adjust the size of the picture and take all that information off the bottom of a picture shared.

Now my problem becomes, that evidently where we normally post is not where I can upload a picture link that does not have yet an HTTP address - I'm thinking you are saying there is a way using 'reply' - and that is where we are - I cannot for the life of me see anything that says reply -

Here is what I think we could do - this business of trying to understand and communicate what I see using these posts is very confusing, takes too much time to attempt to describe what i see and what to do next and since my knowledge of the proper description for actions and the intricacies of the site is poor plus, as you said and are aware, all our computers are different - I did get a years extension and I'm still running on Word 10 using Foxfire as my browser. However for what ever reason if using the same version of Word and using the same Browser for whatever reason what one computer sees is not what another computer sees.

So rather than me trying to write out what I see when I go to various links you suggest on Seniors & Friends can we make a time on Monday to talk this out on the phone - I notice you do not include your email - I do and so if this would work please e-mail me over the weekend your phone number and a time on Monday after 1: my time which would be after 2: your time that we could talk this through that will be so much quicker and easier for both of us to understand. If you are uncomfortable with this plan maybe, is it Michael - no wait, he is in Canada therefore, an international call - shoot - please I have no nefarious intent - if you have a better idea than I'm all ears...

Good morning..

Woke to a light covering of snow yesterday but it didn't stay.

Starting at 35° and it may reach 40°. Toyed with the idea of making bean and bacon soup but ended up with beef barley, maybe next soup will be the bean and bacon. Picked up extra bacon and will fry it, put in containers and freeze. Just wish we had home grown tomatoes to use in sandwiches.

Just looked and I see Jesse went back to bed...life of a dog. He has found an opening in between the tarps and brings a stick of wood in at night. Soon that area will be empty and he can't get into the next one...I hope.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning, +20 and cloudy, clearing tomorrow when temperatures dip again and bring rain and ice back. The winter rain is a new phenomenon that started, if I'm remembering correctly, in the winter of 2025.

Bubble, those new photos of Pailin in Photos are adorable! You and her family are blessed!
