The paint program in windows works pretty good. Just open your picture with it then resize it down or crop it works too. I still have not gotten up and running this summer.

I use GIMP. Little bit of a learning curve but so much more you can do with it.

Hi folks, was out last night. Weathers good which is unusual so thought we would play outside :lol: . Came home and found that the freezer in the garage had caught fire :roll: . Freezers a write off, but only smoke in the garage. Thanks for the tips will have a go and see where we get to. Will be upgrading to windows 10 at the end of the month so expect to lose everything..... :shock:

Egads!! We almost had that problem. We moved before the old house was sold so it was left vacant. The move was local so we didn't grab everything in one haul. The Freezer was still in the garage. Well, we were vandalized. By a "friend" of my son's from High School who we had befriended when he was having a rough time at home. One of the things he did was to put a jar of something in the freezer that held a lit joint. The inside of the freeze completely melted but luckily they didn't burn down the garage. AND they poured gasoline on the back porch and tried to light it. It left the concrete porch charred but luckily our house wasn't burned down.

First flat I had my ex-wife's sister (and mates) broke in while we were on our Honeymoon. Damaged the furniture, left the kitchen a mess etc and then the silly mare told people it had been her????? I was in the police at the time so we stopped the car and arrested her in front of her mates. Of course we let her go again but she was mortified. She never did it again. :D
The freezer thing was the thermostat. reckon the heat wave had it on overdrive and it blew its lid. Nobody harmed so I can live with it. :lol:

:) Thanks for sharing your pic of Ross with us, OC!

After seeing the basking shark on one of Discovery's Shark Week shows this week, I don't blame Ross and his friends for high-tailing it out of the water when they saw the sharks. :lol: They are a bit scary looking even though they probably won't do anything but gum you. :lol:

You are very welcome, and glad you can upload pics now. May we please see your egg collection? :)
