This will be a short note. My neck is still giving me a problem. Pain of any kind wears us all down after awhile. Daughter coming today for a few days. It has been awhile since I say her. She will stay a few days. Maybe we will go to the beach and do some of the things we like to do together. Like SHOP.Spend some money..
See you all later...Joanne
How are you all doing today? Good I hope.
Well gues what I can't seem to make my colors and fonts work again. I did it just the way you told me charlotte, But when I preview it start all the crud with font color In [] and all that. Well I am sure I can figue it out again.
Maybe I should just skip right to graphics. I write the message and highlight it then pick my font Then I highlight it again for color Now I am going to press preview, If it doesn't work I am just going to skip it today. Okay [FONT=Book Antiqua]so now it works.

[COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Georgia]Charlotte,
Thank you I am feeling a lot better today.I hope it continues.
Joanne D.
I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I hope your neck gets better.
Pam
How are you doing today? Whats the weather over there like. We have rain and sun. The weather gets strange here. I moment its sunny the next hour it can change to snow. It has done that on occasion, but it changes from minute to minute until later it finally decides what it wants to be. I think the weather here in Oregon has a intelligience of its own.
Well thats all for today. I am not going to preview this if its messed up I don't care right now. I will tackle it later.
Tell me something about the graphics. is it a program?
Take care all
Laura
Well I had to look and everyhing worked right again. Its gotta be me messing up. I will conquer thisfontand color Yet
Hi Angel, Joanna and Laura. Angel - hope you have a good day, and certainly hope that you are feeling better
Joanne - Gosh, still trouble with the neck? Perhaps you should go see about it. Have fun with your daughter! Shop till you drop
Laura - about the colors. Type your message - highlight it - then choose your font, size and color. DO NOT highlight it again. The highlight goes away after you choose your font, but it is still activated. Hope this helps.
It is a very windy day here. Seems we are getting more and more wind all the time. Never used to be overly windy. We need rain here, not wind. I think I will not do too much today. May go walk in the mall for awhile, but don't feel like doing much. Achy today, everywhere.
Everybody sounds as if they are going through the mill today with their aches and pains. Well I am sorry, do hope you all feel better tomorrow. Unfortunately this grotty RA and OA doesnt seem to have any respect for age, nationality, or what we have planned for the day. I had booked a shopping day with a friend today, not something I would ordinarily do but had to tie up some last minute bits for the wedding such as shoes......what a nightmare, but managed to get some. Theyre quite nice too so as long as I can keep them on for the church and the photos then I will change for the reception. Then I got a posh hat, over here we all wear hats for wedding, the icing on the cake so to speak. It also keeps the sun of my face. Then last but not least I bought my 10 month old grandson in CT an England football kit. How nuts is that? Its really cute though..... Anyway everything is sorted except me and like everybody else I really hurt. I am going to bed shortly and I will take painkillers, muscle relaxant and celebrex and hope I can get a few hours sleep. Its cooler tonight so I might. This is really getting to be a colourful thread, I love to see all the pics that are coming on. Anne your morning one was great.... I will catch you all tomorrow......Nighty night!!!
Stirfried Listen to Happy Canuk...she's better, & more experienced than I am. I thought that, since the highlight left, it had to be repeated. But, as I'm trying, I see how much easier it is.
Pam Your graphics are beautiful! Soon...everyone will be experts at it!
Well...I feel better than I have been. It's been very hot, though. With us working on the house, we don't have any air going...too open with putting a roof on..so it's misery. We'll survive, though, somehow.
Happy Canuk Sorry you're so achy today. Maybe a walk will do you good. But, hurry back...gotta give lessons.
Joanne Sorry your neck is hurting so bad. Hope it gets better for the visit with your daughter. Enjoy your days together, & then come tell us all about it!
Charlie
Super graphics last night......where on earth do you find them all? I really struggle.... I have looked at so many sites already. Hope you're feeling less stressed today with all your construction going on. Stress is one of the things that RA thrives on so try and chill abit today. I know its very hard when youre surrounded by turmoil but try a little meditation. Think of a very pretty garden or beach and put yourself there. It does work, you never know who you might meet in your garden. Hope you feel better.
AnneHow you doing? You were aching too yesterday. I do hope youre felling better today. Your weather sounds as changeable as ours and I am sure thats half our problem. My mum used to say if she stayed in the one temperature she would be fine. I loved your perfect morning picture. Rang a bell.....I sit at my pc like that with my cuppa every morning.
Laura
You're getting there with your colour changing. It takes a while when you first start. With the great teachers you have on here you will be a star in no time. The only thing I want to say without confusing the issue is, if you just type your post, forget size and font. Just type what you want to put , do the whole message, then just highlight and choose your colour it will get you used to it much quicker than if you keep trying to change your font size etc. I have only just started changing font size and doing more than one colour and I am getting confused. Anyway youre doing fine , at least you write newsy posts.
Right I need another cuppa, do hope everybody else is fine. Got loads to do today as I did nothing yesterday so wont be back on til late I shouldnt think. Be Happy all of you TTFN!
HI! everyone hope everybody is having a great day and pain free just wanted to tell all you ladies all your graphics are great you all are so talented !!!!!!!!!!!Rita
Pam - I know you have most certainly said this before, but I don't know the answers. Where and when is this wedding you are going to?? Glad you finally solved the dilemma of the shoes. That is a hard one for most of us now. Hats used to be a thing everybody wore, but over the years something has happened and now hardly anybody wears one. Occassionally you will see somebody with one, and they look very elegant. I am just as happy they don't wear hats, because I look like a total fool in one. When we were growing up, we used to go into the milinary section of the store and try on all the hats. Used to laugh myself sick!!!!
Now don't go working too hard! Your graphics are perfect. I love the balance one and have that one for 4 years. It's really agood one. A lot of graphics can be had through "snag" groups. Type in "snaggables" and go surfing
Angel - must be really hot with no roof on the house. Are you still living in it? I am sure, as Pam says, all the stress doesn't help with the pain. It is the worst thing for chronic anything! Hang in there
Rita - Hi. Hope you have a good day today. Are you having to work?
Well, I don't have much to do today. All the housework is done, the groceries are bought and the weather is yukky! We need rain, so I wish it would just rain and be done with it. I don't do too well in the humid weather as it causes me great pain. I am better off with 30 below zero weather because it is so dry here when that cold. A lot less pain.
I do have to get my hair cut this afternoon at 1:30 p.m., so I am looking forward to that.
Is everyone having a bad pain day. It sure sounds that way. I am very sorry to here about it. I am feeling better. I am having some hip and ankle pain but, nothing real intense. Thank God!
First I want to make sure I have everyones name and username matched up.
Immagonnadoit=pam, I hope I have this right. Who is getting married and when? I know you have seen me post about my daughter Jenny's wedding in Sept. I Just wanted to know who it is. Don't you just love your grandson to bits? I am so crazy about my 6 year old grandson Brady that sometimes I just love to watch him play.. He is going to be at his Dads this summer. I am going to miss him so much. I am hoping that he gets to come home once in a while so I can visit him.. Angel-Lover= charlotte I know this name is right. I think your graphics are nice also. I hope I can learn how to do it. I really need a good hobby and this sound perfect, I consider you girls as my far away friends. I love coming in here to post and see how you guys are doing
Joanne D.= Joanne D You don't have a username just your own. How are your feeling Is your neck still causing you problems I sure hope you get better.
Happy Canuck = Um I really do not kinow this. Sorry. Well I am sure you will let me know. I really want to lern about graphics and charlotte said you were the best. Can you explain it to me a little? please Can you do graphics with your email? Take care charlotte,pam Joanne Dand Happy Canuck

I think I am getting the hang of the colors. Just like you guys said I would do and I'm doing it the way you told me
Hi Laura, my name is Anne. Now about graphics. I can sure help you out if you want.
The first thing you need to do, is go open an account at an online storage place. I have had really good luck with this one, and it is free. Just fill out the form and you will have a place to store your graphics http://www.mypages.iparenting.com/index.htm
Next, in order to save graphics you find on the net that are not copyrighted, so you may have to read the Terms of Condition, you RIGHT CLICKon the graphic, and save it to a folder in My Documents or on your desktop. Make a new folder just for graphics, and then you can make sub folders within the folder so you know what kind of graphic it is - animal, funny, angels, etc.
Next you will go to your storage site, and upload the graphic to that site. This sounds much harder than it is. Click on UPLOAD and then the browse button. You will look for your folder and then open it and click on whatever graphics you want to store.
Then, when you get it stored, you need to be able to post it here. To do that do the following
Find the graphic in your storage, RIGHT CLICK on it, choose PROPERTIES, highlight the ADDRESS/URL, RIGHT CLICK on the address, and choose copy and then OK (at the bottom of the properties box)
Bring it back here and type [img] and then paste the address without any spaces and finish//// with [/img]. these //// mean nothing just trying to break it to show you the ending.
If you want to center something it is the same way
and finish with a / slash
in the brackets. It is easy when you know how, and very nerve wracking when you are learning. Just ask.
Hope this isn't too confusing for you, Laura. Just ask if you need help, or if you are on MSN or YAHOO and have a headset, I could talk you through it. It is a wonderful past time and helps take your mind off of pain!!!
Friends with RA and OA #3
Thanks for the help, Happy Canuk. 
Hope you're feeling well today.
Anyway youre doing fine , at least you write newsy posts.
Can you do graphics with your email?
