Here is one of Terri's pets, had him since he was 1 day old. The dog brought him home to her. Now he thinks he is one of the cats.

Roger-

Thanks for the detailed instructions!

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try it when my head clears from all this tomfoolery we've been putting out today!

Dave-

That's quite a pussy cat! Must have been a lot of fun to raise. I've heard that as adults they tend to revert to some of their "wild" tendencies. True in your case? Joe.

Joe; Rudy (the raccoon) will be two years old in a couple of months. Right now, it is mating season for raccoons, so he is not very friendly except with Terri. He is not confined and is free to come and go whenever he wants. He comes around two to three times a week usually at night, to visit with Terri and they play, but he is not allowed in the house anymore. Occasionally he will bring a friend or two with him for treats.

I expect during the spring and summer he will start coming around more often. Terri taught him to dig for earthworms and when she works in the garden, he follows her around and digs for worms and grubs. She also spent time with him in the creek catching little creatures to eat.

He is aggressive and will attack strangers and sometimes threaten to attack me, but I think he knows better most of the time. He has never shown any aggressive tendencies toward Terri. However, it does worry me because she will put her face down right next to him and he will pat her on the face and kiss her. The picture of him being held by Terri was Christmas of 2004.

The stories I could tell you about him would fill a book.

Special thanks to Pat , Roger, and the rest of you who have managed to explain the process to me of how to embed photos with the Mac computer.

I even embeded a Lake Shasta photo in my signature. (Big deal!)

Thanks,

Joe.

Directions above, trades off link for embeded photo.

I'm missing something. I thought I followed those directions!

Sea Wolf · Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 12:49 am Post subject:

Next question:

Do you have any control over the size (dimensions) of the embedded photo? Some appear to be much larger than others.

Is it the size of the file in bytes, or is there some other way to spelling out the desired dimensions?

Joe.

Janet-

You're using the address, not the location. See Roger's post above.

Joe.

Chris, actually. I was following the directions above but I am missing something!

Chris-

You're coping the entire address onto your bilboard, then pasting it into the new post with the brackets and slash, etc. You have to use the location instead.

What you need to do is go to the loation of the photo which is found on the thumbnail or miniature photo in your album just before you open the whole picture to view.

Put the mouse cursor over the thumbnail, push down on the control key and mouse, and a pop up list of alternatives (menu) will appear.

Scroll down the menu to "copy image address" and release the mouse and then the control key. Now the location is on the billboard.

Now go into the post mode, type out the message, and where you want the picture, drop down two or so return key storkes to get a space.

Now with the cursor blinking where you want the photo, go up to the Edit menu with the mouse and hit Copy.

This drops the location where you want the picture.

Add the [img] at the front of this location and the [/img] at the end and you're done. (Unless you have more text to add.)

I think it's also very impotant that you use the exact right kind of brackets. You want the pair to the right of the "p" key, but not with the "shift" key pressed down, which changes their appearance and probably won't work. Use the lower case style.

I had to print out Roger's directions to be able to follow them and do the job when making all the operations the first few times. You might want to print out these.

Good Luck!
