    Start was telling me about Go Advanced, then Manage Attatchments, then Browse, but the pics are too big. I went through the converter and I'm just toast!

    Yeah, we have limited space for pics. What I do is save my pics to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and then you can post them here.

    Very good. Davy is such a big help, and the boys ended up coming so Dustins mom is out there with her (she brought a whole trailer load last night)... Hell, I am using the money to do the kids rooms so what ever I get is fine with me... BUT the more the better...

    I tend to use Webshots a lot, I'm always creating more albums over there. I'll put 'em there and send a link. I should be able to figure that out.

    But - what's for sale. I didn't hear about a sale!

    I always loved the celebration at the Summer Solstice. When the sun just dips behind the mountain.

    LOL, the camping trip I went on with the bears...

    We were at camp, must have been 20 of us all out in the wilderness, no one around but us friends. Most of the folks went to Talkeetna to get some beer and other staples.

    There was me, my husband our friend Kim, and Jeremy... about 6 dogs. Oh, yeah, and I was 4 months pregnant. Well, we saw the mommy bear and her cubs. Jeremy freaks and climbs in his truck with ALL the dogs... Kim jumps in her truck.

    Guess where the guns were? With Jeremy and the dogs locked in the truck. Hubby had his side arm on, but I was worthless.

    HOWEVER, (emphasis on however) we did have bottle rockets!! So my pudgy little pregnant self climbed in the back of the truck and started shooting bottle rockets at a dang grizzly bear!!

    The story does not end there.

    Believe me, the 4th of July here is ALWAYS a reminder. John won't let me forget. LMAO

    But, in my defense... I wasn't the MAN who was afraid and locked myself in a truck with guns and dogs!! I actively tried to get the bears out of camp.

    As I said the story does not end...

    Later that night, still day time cause it was June, everyone was trying to get some sleep, and my hubby woke for some odd reason. He looked across the firepit at Kim & Greg's tent, who comes strolling up but mama and her cubs. All we could see above the NorthFace tent was a neon sign DINER!!

    We yelled at Kim and Greg and they came running out. Greg was trying to put his pants on. Well, guess what, they weren't pants. It was a RED FLANNEL TURTLENECK!!

    I have a picture of that somewhere.

    FYI, I'm moving this post to Member discussions. Since we are members and we are discussing.

    Okay, I am going nuts. What's the bird with the colors on the head? Got them down in Homer.

    Brain Fart!

    Yes, there's actually a rock across Kachemak Bay called, oddly enough, Puffin Rock. You can approach in a small boat and not spook 'em, but you got to check the wind direction! Lol
    And at least when I was there bowling was big. We had a whopping four lane alley!
