Jen,,,I found that if I right click the pic I want just choose the "save as" option. and then save in your pic file on your computer...then go to the "browse" option on the Avatar area

Do I need to save this to a certain size if I do it that way?

My MIL is absolutely great. She's 75 and a go getter. She does not act or look her age. I'm very lucky. I've heard some MIL horror stories. Actually I married my DH because a liked her. (Don't tell him that.)

You are so lucky. I have a list of things about my MIL that are pretty gross... That along with the fact that DH hates black olives on his pizza (he says they're regular olives soaked in motor oil). What was I thinking marrying him?

Haven't told the girls about Emma moving yet, Jess was upset enough when they were thinking of moving 2 hours away let along thousands of miles! Emma also has this impression that I'll go and visit several times a year, she may be on a huge salary but we could probably afford to only go once every 2 years maybe once a year

Too bad she isn't moving to WDW!

So as you all know right now I am set to do a one year Human Resources program starting in September.

Since you are all about a guaranteed job I would stick with nursing. My cousin is also just finishing up school to become a nurse and she just turned 40. I think anyone who can handle that type of work should go for it. I couldn't do it myself.

I hope everyone has a great day. I'm taking #3 to see March of the Penguins because he's so bored while his brothers are gone. Anyone see it? It's free, so if it's awful we'll just leave.

I remember when this movie first came out. I didn't take the kids to see it because I heard that there was death involved and some kids were frightened by some things in it. I think it's basically a documentary. DH and I did rent this movie from Netflix one time called Farce of the Penguins. It said Samuel L. Jackson on the cover so I thought it might be good. This was before I heard of Snakes on a Plane. It was kind of funny but the language was worse than Hancock!

Okay, I got it... but I need to go in and resize my pictures to get them in the small space provided. Everything keeps getting cut off.

Good Morning FOCKER FRIENDS! This is JEN! YES JEN!

I am going to play with my siggie a bit and try to restore it to pre-stalker. Let's all sing together, "I'm coming out! I want the world to know..."

Hi Jen

Where is the Karaoke Focker.....Katt...oh Katt....Come out, come out wherever you are. Jen needs some Karaoke!

 

[princessjv]

Hi Jen

Where is the Karaoke Focker.....Katt...oh Katt....Come out, come out wherever you are. Jen needs some Karaoke!

Kat's around here somewhere... come out, come out! Time to sing!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Love it!

I thought if anyone could pull it off, he could. He's the most vocal, animated child ever.

OMG! I'm so glad you told me. He is pretty adamant about not going, but now I won't push the issue. THANK YOU!

No problemo.

The question is.... the seminar is only four hours long, right? What are you going to do with the rest of your evening?? Just kidding, Dawn!

Jodi! I'm sure I don't know what you mean! Not to mention I was told no "fun" until after my 4 week visit.

Good Morning FOCKER FRIENDS! This is JEN! YES JEN!

It's Jen!!!! Yipppeeee!!!

I am going to play with my siggie a bit and try to restore it to pre-stalker. Let's all sing together, "I'm coming out! I want the world to know..."

I love the black and white pics!

Dawn- What a funny shirt!

He wore it last week to Target and this lady noticed and said she loves it.

Where is the Karaoke Focker.....Katt...oh Katt....Come out, come out wherever you are. Jen needs some Karaoke!

Yes, where is Ms. Do-over?

 

[jcc0621]

No panning for 4 weeks

Love the shirt Dawn! I showed it to Jim when you posted it before and he thought it was great!

 

[princessjv]

I love the black and white pics!

Can you see my ds's name on his hat? Anyone have a big screen that the image is large? I don't care if you all know it...just saying... crazies out there...crazies!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

No panning for 4 weeks

Love the shirt Dawn! I showed it to Jim when you posted it before and he thought it was great!

Panning? Is that the new name for it? The hospital said 6 weeks, but the doctor said 4 weeks. So, I'm going with 4...

Can you see my ds's name on his hat? Anyone have a big screen that the image is large? I don't care if you all know it...just saying... crazies out there...crazies!

Don't worry, Jen! We'll protect you from the crazies! Janet will send some cops to police your posts! ::cop:

I can see his name's there, but I can't read it. I tried to click on the picture, and it didn't bring it up so I could read it, so that's good.

I just highlighted B's hair. I hope it comes out like she wants. She's showering now. We'll soon see.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I'm not a Batman person, but I just read on TMZ that Christain Bale was arrested this morning for assaulting his mom and sister on Sunday. What's wrong with him?! He should be on top of the world right now and he's doing that?

 

[PrincessV]

He could be fun...if he had anything more interesting to discuss than the History Channel...

Ummmm...not so much. I consider myself to be fairly educated...but I can't discuss our Nation's history over and over and over again...

And he doesn't like Disney! he says it's a money scam!

Would he consider a move to FL? He sounds perfect for V! Disney IS a money scam! But remember - I'm in marketing. Michael Eisner was my hero.

Thanks to everyone for the positive energy. How could it go badly now?!

Exactly!

V--love the shark story---Ab said she saw lots of Gulf sharks whilst parasailing over Destin! But the water was so-o-o clear and pretty!

My clues came shortly after moving down here... my ex was in a triathlon and the swim portion was through Tampa Bay. The footage they shot form overhead showed a BUNCH of hammerheads in the water with the racers! Then, when we were in the water once, a guy caught a small bull shark whilst fishing 10 feet from us.

Mucho thanks for all the well wished for Gramps! Apparently he is doing well enough to be released into to hospice care at home. That's where he wants to be, so that's where he's going.

But for now here's Evan on the Log Ride:

Look at that precious face! TE looks a bit less thrilled.

And here's what's to come.... "When good highlights go bad", "I found the Stay Puft Marshmellow Boy", "Mexican Tea Cups", "Esays, Rucas and Heinas, oh my!" & "Where's the Beef?"

So, I'm homeless, boyfriendless, jobless...and I"m living with my motha. Yay! Score for Jen. A doctor will surely want me.

Add in "and perpetually forever in school" and we'd be twins Jen!

Got a new dog today! hes a 3 year old Basset Hound

Awww, I just love Bassets!

Did LauraLee ever set up that big water slide for Micheal?

Good question! I'll have to ask later...

Do you wear oranges??? Sorry, it's late and I'm bored and it struck me funny.

I Mia Michaels routines. She does seem to be a little overbearing to some of the kids if they don't get her right away though. I couldn't believe she told Will he needed a new partner the week before last. It was true but still to say it while he and Jessica were just standing there seemed so mean.

She doesn't bother me much in that regard; but I worked in the dance world and it's SO much tougher than on the show! I was told point blank I had the wrong shape, (too round) and I'd never be accepted into a ballet company. It hurt, but was absolutely true - better that I found out early enough to do other things Whit my life

Does this look like a girl that regrets her decision?

Not at all!

 

[PrincessV]

You've all seen a photo of my house, 4 beds on an estate (that just means lots of houses here nothing posh) well if we bought it now it would cost $700,000

I think I just threw up a little!

Haven't told the girls about Emma moving yet, Jess was upset enough when they were thinking of moving 2 hours away let along thousands of miles! Emma also has this impression that I'll go and visit several times a year, she may be on a huge salary but we could probably afford to only go once every 2 years maybe once a year

My big hang-up with this plan is that I would be almost 30 by the time I finished with school. I would have spent just over a decade of my life in university.

Don't know if this helps, or only makes things worse, but... after spending the past 5 years working on my Art History degree, and knowing full well I can't do anything with it unless I get the MFA, I'm actually toying with going back for a SECOND degree in English! At the ripe old age of 37, I've found that experience counts for more than education when it comes to getting work, and studying subjects I love is more important to me than prepping for a career. Another thought...

My problem is that I was silly and went and got a degree in English Lit and Classical Studies. Doesn't open up a whole lot of career paths.

As someone who's been in charge of interviewing and hiring in a variety of jobs, I'd much rather have someone with a Liberal Arts degree than almost anything else. I know without question that that person knows how to conduct research, how to write, how to question things that don't make sense and most importantly, how to go about learning things they don't yet know. I've found that our graphic arts interns who went to a specialty school that didn't include liberal arts requirements had no ability to motivate themselves, take responsibility, suggest changes, etc. My point in all this, I truly don't think your existing degree will be a hindrance, only an asset.

I'm taking #3 to see March of the Penguins because he's so bored while his brothers are gone. Anyone see it? It's free, so if it's awful we'll just leave.

We looove it! Have it on DVD. It's documentary style, so be warned, but lighter than most stuff on Nat. Geo.

So #3 decided he doesn't want to go to the movies because it's not animated and so it won't be funny. He's doing math instead

Well, I'll give him that - there's not a lot of funny in it!

Good Morning FOCKER FRIENDS! This is JEN! YES JEN!

Hi JEN!!!!

Can you see my ds's name on his hat? Anyone have a big screen that the image is large?

I remember that hat from your TR - I've never been able to figure out his name! Not that I'm stalking...

 

[PrincessV]

Well, Leo's first day of horse camp was a big success! It was his first time entering a new situation on his own (they have us drop he kids off at a traffic circle, not go in with them), and he handled it like the big boy he is!

He has swimming lessons each morning, and riding lessons each afternoon. He pronounced both his "favorite" parts of the day. He also nominated "cleaning horse poop" his least favorite.

Bum bum bum bum bum

Nope.

I'll take her down Jen.

Jus' cuz I'm 4'11" don't mean I don't know how to scrap...

Would he consider a move to FL? He sounds perfect for V! Disney IS a money scam! But remember - I'm in marketing. Michael Eisner was my hero.

You'd have to fight with him for Pilar.

Add in "and perpetually forever in school" and we'd be twins Jen!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothin' planned for today so far. Just more job hunting. I'm afraid that if I don't find a job soon I'm going to have to move back home.

I need good thougts here people. I don't care if you say prayers, meditate, or send good vibes. But, I'm in desperate need of a job. None of the jobs that I've been offered pay near enough or have good enough benefits.

I thought this would be easier. I am getting desperate. And I don't know what to do. Thank goodness I have some savings.

Lessa- It sounds like you need to move to FL and get a job with V!

 

[Goofyluver]

OK...I"m going to post this question here...since many of you are owners...

People are talking about receiving matching developer points when buying DVC. What are matching developer points?

 

[jcc0621]

OK, I am depressed Jim and I were talking and he was saying to me how he needs to get over to school to start setting up his classroom for the new school year. I kept looking at him like he had 3 heads and then I looked at the calander. I can't believe the summer is almost over He has to get the classroom ready before we leave for Weinerfest becasue we come back the Friday before labor day and he starts back the Tuesday after labor day.

I don't like getting old. I never remember summer going by this quickly!

Right there with you, Janet. Mine haven't had a week yet with nothing to do. I was thinking of starting school August 4th so they don't have to go too far into June to finish up, but they really have had no down time. But, I'd like to start before our trip (they will lose 8 days) and they'll lose 6 in October. I could shorten Christmas break, but if I don't start before Fockerfest, we'll finish pretty late in June. Decisions, decisions.

Exactly. It seems lke every weekend we have something to do between now and leaving for WDW and we didn't even get to do half the thing we really wanted to do this summer. We actually have nothing planned for next weekend (8/2) and told Jim, lets keep it that way!
