Alternatively you can load your pics to Flikr or Photobucket and call them into your post using common html code that actually sizes it the way you want using "align" and "img src" commands. Don't panic, just Google those commands and try using them with a photo from photobucket. In no time we will make you a pro - after all these years! ... or is it "still crazy after all these years?"gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-47552636106406637642012-04-27T13:50:36.030-04:002012-04-27T13:50:36.030-04:00CWM:

The apocalypse is nearing...<br /><br />Second, Someone dumb enough to run a red light and get clobbered probably should be buried in whatever's left of the car. I guess until we have stoplights that flash, "Hey dipshit..."<br /><br />Third, some people you can't even trust to play with DULL objects... a shame a child had to suffer to show this jerk how little brains he has.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-57236701916392134032012-04-27T11:27:03.386-04:002012-04-27T11:27:03.386-04:00Slamdunk:

They bragged how they would want that life no questions asked. I think that limited perspective fails to realize how difficult that life mostly alone with one goal in mind is. Getting up each day and working on one goal for four decades is something to be celebrated with the understanding that not everyone can do such a thing.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend Bob.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.com
