Glad to see you are posting with us Shop! Hope you will become a regular. Smile

Hey, Ford, glad to know you can bake bread! LOL! Is that some kind of therapy? Wink...I did win one good auction. I have a few more hanging in there. Que je ne gagne-t-il pas, je peux compter probablement comme une bénédiction!

Hi Mrs. M.,
We'd probably all gain weight if we had to work in a bakery. Big Grin
Hello Samuraiblossom, glad to hear you won the auction! Rumor is that eBay was slow today, but it sounds like the snipes are going through OK. There haven't been any posts with frownie faces (or worse). Or if there have been some, I haven't noticed them. Smile

Hi Rick,
Yes, believe it or not, I just made potato bread! No sunflower seeds, though. I've used a lot of different flours. Sometimes I grind the wheat into flour myself, but that makes for a heavier bread. Potato flour isn't hard to make. You just dehydrate the potatoes and then grind them up in a flour grinder.
But then, I'm a strange person Eek and like to do lots of things the hard way. Like making my own yarn by spinning on a spinning wheel...baking bread....
Guess I'd better stop now, before someone sends the men with the white coats and straightjackets.... Eek Eek Eek

Christine,

Sounds like you're a fiber person. I assume you knit, and perhaps do some weaving or crocheting? I've been told that spinners often are also bread-makers. Something about getting into the basics.

Working on your Masters and baking bread wouldn't appear to use the same side of the brain, so it probably gives each side some time off.

Sorry Rick, I didn't mean to ignore you. Hopefully the degree will be complete in 2 1/2 years. But a lot depends on classes and scheduling.
And yes--I like to work in fiber. I've spun wool, dog hair, and silk, and tried a few other things just for fun. Big Grin (Coconut hair fiber--or whatever that stuff on the outside of a coconut is called--doesn't spin very well. Eek) I have a loom and have been knitting since early grade school. But most of whatever gets spun usually ends up with someone who just has to have it. Oh, well. Big Grin Most of the fun is in the spinning, anyway.
Gotta go do some homework now. Have a great day, OK? Smile

Looks like the welcome-wagon somehow missed you. Also, considering that you are nice enough to come into this topic, here's a couple of pixs for you:

Shop,

Very good. Now, to get a picture's URL, right click on the picture, then click on "Properties", then select the "Address (URL)" and plunk it into the Image icon. If you get a displayed, its because you don't have the correct address, or the site won't let you post the pictures.

There's all kinds of sites for pictures. You can search on "cartoons", "clip art" and so on. Also, Google has an image search: http://images.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en

Also, the link should end in ".gif" or ".jpg".

Outstanding Jabber!

You're real close Shop. We've ALL burned up several posts to learn how to leave pictures. And, unoffically, this is the kind of topic where we learn to do this.

Don't forget, you can always use the change/delete icon ( ) to remove anything you don't like.

Not that I know of, but there could be.

Shop and Jabber,


(high five)

Another "trick" you can do is leave a picture as a signature like Lexie (aka Bartelby) and Mrs. M (aka Mrs. M). You'll see that in "My Pop" for this forum under "Profile" tab.

Hi Mrs. M. Sure was an exciting morning. Sorry you missed it, but at least it was a good surprise for you. I hope all is well, and I see your current temperature is 81 degrees. Have a great day.

Hello everyone!

I've been having terrible trouble with my internet connection, but although it's intermittent, I'm at least in contact with the world now and again!

The weather has gone all horrid and warm here, but we are managing a few races. I'm trying to keep from looking too closely at eBay due to lack of money, but it's too addictive - it looks as if Ty has issued a new husky beanie, so I suspect that one of those will be wandering my way soon!

I'll go and try to catch up with all the chat - rather a lot in the last two weeks I think!

Take Care,
SuperSqueaky and the hairy hordes

Here's what I've been up to while I've been away (although I think it's sideways)....

I'm having my lunch just now - tomato soup - and it's lovely! The tea will go with it just nicely, Mrs M. One of our staff has been to the US, and has brought back a big bowl of American chocolate called Hershey's Kisses, so I'll be having one or two of those for dessert.

I did enjoy the few days I was on holiday, but most of the time I've not been posting I've just been disconnected from the web.

I've also had a chest infection, but that didn't stop me from typing..... Wink

I'm hoping to go racing again this weekend, down in the Borders. I hope it doesn't rain.

Looking round eBay I've realised that the new Ty Husky has two variants - one with two blue eyes and one with one green and one blue....oh dear! it's all just designed to make me poor. Cool

Morning All!

Squeaks - Good to hear from you again Smile

Rick - Good to hear from you too Razz

Mrs M - Thanks for the beverages..I think I will need more than that today. Tyler decided it was play time from 10pm till midnite then got me up for the start of the day at 3am Eek

Shop - those little
are very annoying arent they?? Worse are the ones that come up "guarded by such-and-such" so everybody knows you stole them Razz

Wheres that Billie????

Christine must be hitting the books at the moment

Hi Lexie.

Shop,
Before I post a picture, I take the URL from the right-click and enter it in an address line to see what it brings up. That doesn't guarantee that it will work on a post, but it improves the odds. Also, it gives me an idea of what I'm posting and how big it is. Sometimes a picture will be broken up into multiple parts (addresses) and you might not see that before you post.

That little is so frustrating. Mrs. M never has that problem because she puts everything into Village Photos. If interested, perhaps Mrs. M will show you how that works. Wink

Actually, I think the idea came from Lexie. It is free. Al, you do to sign up is go to http://www.villagephotos.com and join, free. After that, anything you want, you just save as picture with a right click on it. It saves in your picture file. Next, following the village very easy basic directions, upload it to them. It will be stored in your own album on that site. If you want to use it, you just click under the pix on copy to my clipboard, go here, click image and right click in the box paste, and click ok in the box. That is it. Sounds like a lot, but it is not. Smile
