I am seriously thinking about quitting this...
Two main reasons.
Number one... I can't ever get here anymore. Used to be, no matter what time I came to the computer, it was available. Now, it never is. No matter what fuckin' time of day I come here, George is ALWAYS parked in this chair. He won't get done, either. Just sits here, knowing I'm wanting the stupid thing, not giving a damn. Christ, that pisses me off. However, lately, it's not even worth fighting over, because I can't get shit to post right. I wanted yesterday to zing Mad Wm. with dual pics of Hart and Lennon, but then I remembered I CAN'T because all this stupid thing does now is post little tiny 115 by 115 pixel pics which is NOT what I want. I have no idea how to fix it, I've read every goddamned thing about uploading, downloading, MT and every other fuckin' derivative of that idea I can think of and nothing works. Now, I feel completely frustrated, pissed off, on the verge of tears and sick of it. IF I remember correctly, this blogging stuff is supposed to HELP not ADD TO the shit that makes ya wanna climb a silo with a rifle in hand. I've never been one to just jump into a car and start driving. Sure, I did that at first. But, after a bit, I started wanting to know how shit works. I got sick of having to run to a mechanic every time there was a noise. Same here. This picture shit has really got me... in fact, if I don't get away from this thing really shortly here, I am gonna cry... AGAIN. That really was one of the best parts of this whole deal... being able to post big, bold and, I suppose in some cases nauseating, pictures of stuff. I can just imagine how impressive the thing I did for Dad's birthday woulda been being an inch and a half by an inch and a half, like it is now. Eric's birthday is coming up in June. What? You think I'm gonna post some little tiny shit for that? Nope. Not even.(Ah fuck... here we go...) I don't know what to do. Except walk away before I apply my Pusser club to several surfaces. This bullshit is like driving Richard Petty's racecar with a fuckin' governor on it, making anything over 10 mph impossible. Who could stand that? Not me, man. I have enough fucked up shit in my life that I can't fix. Do I LOOK like I need one more? Cause, I don't.

Stevie, about the only thing I can think of is that you somehow -- hang on, let me check somethin' -- dialup is goin' slow like Karo syrup --- Your file has been uploaded. Size: 35,126 bytes.
Create a new entry using this uploaded file (?)
Show me the HTML
Image Thumbnail
Create a thumbnail for this image (?) is this box checked?
Width:[what is the setting here?]PixelsPercent
Height:[what is the setting here?]PixelsPercent
Constrain proportions (?) is this box checked?
It really should not be that hard, but if you have some program that will show you the dimensions of your pics, you can rework the ___ tags to display it in whatever size you wish.
Post an example so I can examine the tag.

Awww hell no!
NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO!
Ain't gonna happen - not on my watch sister!!
(Did I mention that I'm against this?)
I can't help you with George sitting in front of the 'puter all the time - my wife does that with the TV...watching Food Network, knowing that I'd like to watch a Godzilla movie or maybe *gasp* the freakin news. Grrrrrr....
You've just hit what is referred to as a "rut" - it'll pass.
To aid in getting it to pass, go torture a cat (just kidding), laugh at cat jokes, throw food at George - anything to relieve tension.

Oh no you don't. If I can get pulled back in, so can you.
Take a break. Everyone needs one. Hell, I take a break every week. Post what you want. When you want. We'll be here.
Love,
Em
