Christian Photographers Community

Hello to all my CP friends:

Jenny.. You have such interesting weather!:'

'Ria..sorry you're having to use your son's computer and I am unfamiliar with MP3's.  I need a lesson from Larry I would love to take all my old records and put them on a CD.  I guess I must have so many Reader's Digest albums about 25 or so.

Pat, Thanks for the hello and for the devotional and song. My answer to the question of could the computer become an idol...a definite "yes" if it is put ahead of God.  Our LORD should always come first; but there is so much support from Christian friends here on CP that this is a good tool to be used as a witness of our Savior.  And for this I am thankful that we have this method of communication.  

Sonifo  I loved the pictures of your lovely dgtr, Chandrayqa.  She sure does favor you!  I liked the BW one that Pat had highlighted yesterday.  

Etta Sue I'm so glad you're staying busy.  It's a good sign you're enjoying life!

Marilyn, we are having a beautiful sunny day here in SC.  The wind is up some and it's a little chilly.  I've been outside to clean the filter in the small fish pond.
I hope that I can do some landscaping out there in my side yard.  I've been to the library to get books to learn the how's, etc.  Last week my sister & I went to a symposium on planting flowers here in this climate.  Maybe I can pull something together as I am not talented at all in the "growing-things-outside"area.   I've always been an indoor girl.  Allergic to sun & the chiggers (we call them red bugs here), mosquitoes always bite me, gnats & flies bite me.  What more can I say except I plan to "have strength & courage & go full speed ahead"


And for all the rest, I did not intentionally ignore..but have run out of time myself.  Now it is time to get busy and vacuum, dust, etc.  I've put it off long enough.  Then on to sewing.

love, kathy

I've been making a big pot of soup for myself and sorting some boxes of "stuff" and now having a coffee break.

Thanks Kathy...   That's the way I feel about the computer as well.  I just don't have time to spend in the various "chat rooms".  There's one on SeniorNet and as a host on SN, I have to go in there from time to time to just check things out and the same people are in there nearly every time I go in there and it doesn't matter what time of the day or night.  This is "live" chat that I'm speaking of.  I'd say that's a big waste of time and as a Christian, I couldn't do it.

Jenny!
I hope you didn't send all this rain!!!!!!!!

   

                                 

Hello!  I'm really, really late today.  I left home this morning just after 7 and just got back about an hour ago.  I went to the health fair, then stayed for both the Pioneer Communications and Pioneer Electric meetings, with a really nice lunch in between.  I thought I might win a door prize, but nope!  They gave away some really nice things, everything from a 24" flat-screen TV to bundles of 100 minute long distance calling cards, cordless phones, DVD players, radios, grills, lamps, pre-paid energy credits, etc.  Anyway, I thought I am a week behind on stuff, so what's one more day?  Guess I am just tired.

See you later!

10.35 p.m. U.K.

Chris and Margit...Touche...

Share and share alike...."quack, quack."

Yours in Quackers.
Jenny

So, Janet, are all the test results, etc. sent to your own family doctor?  

Pat..

The news is now reported from Spain that it is Islamic Extremists who have been arrested for the bombings.

Mr. Blair who is in Manchester today is giving us all the usual warnings re what to expect.

P'raps he will pop in  for a cup of tea with Chris and Margit.  They could give him some advice I am sure.

Good night all.
The Peace of the Lord
Be always with you.

Jenny.

Jenny and Chris..........

Stay out of the Tube.

Well I am back, I have been off cause of puter problems.  I was unable to get inyo explorer, and finally today called my server and thay walked me through the corrections.   I had the puter at my computer tech guy, and he cleaned it out and has informed me that seeing it is has been 3 years since I have had it reformarred it, it needs to be done.  Also with the dust of a wood furnace, 2 cats and 3 dogs....... I need a new power source.  It isn't gone yet but it is a matter of time.  What John calls preventative maintenance.  

We have had a busy day, Praise team and then picking up john, to the computer tesh, then shopping.  We were home intime to get  the the groceries put away and then Bonnie arrived.  We are having a good visit.   Vic has decided he is going to do school work so he can earn xome computer time.  Bribe ?  Perhaps but the computer time is a learning tool as well so If it works I won't fix it.

The news out of Spain.... devestating, that is all I can say.

Well I have to go, Will be back later.
Judy.

Well I finally got  back online. I removed a couple of programs from my computer that I didn't need anymore, then I couldn't get back on line. So  rebooted it and left it alone while I went to shower and shampoo my hair. Came back and all if fine again.

Pat I am going to go ahead and order the trial of PSP 8 that I have after I amke a big payment on my Credit card. Then I will see about doing the PSP lessons so I can learn about what I have.

Did y-all see the new recipes I posted? Some are more than one per thread.

TTYL

Ohhh, Marilyn, you'll never be sorry.  Ask Etta Sue.  She uses PSP now nearly for everything.  It's just a great program and I suggest that as soon as possible you get into one of the free programs and learn how to use the various features--even if you are never going to make graphics, etc.  But you'll be able to use some of these features to fix up your photos.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi.  We are about to watch a movie.

Talk with you later.

Pat:

What is PSP?   Where do I get it and what is it used for?    


Ruth

Ruth PSP ia Paint Shop Pro.  It is used to make hose beautiful cards of welcome and birthday cards that you see on CP.  Melaura is taking a novice PSP course.  I will have her send you the addy so you can check it out.

hello eveyone!! we are going to watch another movie.

The movie we watched last night is called secondhand Lions! It was hilarias but sad. I would strongly recomend it for anyone.
You all should rent it.

well bye everyone!!

Zachery

Yes, Ruth, as Judy has said, it's Paint Shop Pro.  It's a graphic software program and we use it to lighten or brighten or alter the contrast of photos or to manipulate them in any way.  We use it to compress them so that they are the right size for posting here on CP.

It's a powerful program.

These are my lessons that I'm racing to try and get finished.  I believe that Rachelle is as well.

Well, I am slipping in here for just a minute to report that we made the drive safely to Bradenton, Florida. We got here in a little more than twelve hours. We are tired. I haven't read the posts for today but just wanted to say thanks for your prayers for a safe trip. God bless you all. I'll have more to say tomorrow after church.

Glad you had a great journey, Papa John.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Hi CP Freinds. Well I made it home this afternoon and have just spent some time catching up on a weeks worth of postings. Some interesting dialoque. I find this interesting although somewhat lengthy due to my long absences.

I would like to welcome all the newcomers to CP. I see we got quite a number of them this week. Hope you folks will enjoy like the rest of us.

Had a busy week this week as I did 2 round trips to Virginia. When this happens it keeps me on the move to get it all done. The weather in Virginia was wonderful and the flowers are starting to coming up, the trees are beginning to bud and the magnoilia trees were in bloom. This is the positive part of my job. I get to enjoy about 3 months of spring and watch it move from the south to the north.
My dispatch has told me that next week I will be going to Guntown Mississppi which will bring down through Nashville and then out towards Jackson an area where I have not been to for 2 or 3 yrears. i am looking forward to this. I am trying to see if judy can join me on this one. She would enjoy it and give her a much needed break.

I was talking to Doug , my son today and he was looking for me earlier as the Company he and I work for had him take a set of trains to load, and he had never pulled trains before. For those who are not familiar with terminology, a set of trains is 2 trailers pulled in tandem behind one power unit. I have pulled these things and loved it and he has now had a taste of it as well. Apparently it went well and it seems that some of the talking I have done of my experiences served him well today, Way to go son. You can handle it. I guess I will have to watch out or you will go right on by me.

I am looking forward to having a couple of days at home before I leave again. Tommorrow is church and that is always a pleasent experience. I really enjoy our Pastor, as he is not only a pastor but also a friend. We always have a good time when we can get together.

Jenny it was interesting to see that you and I have a common interest in reading material. I find Steve Martini fascinating and have also started to read another author, Terri Blackstock, who writes a similar story line but form a Christian perspective and can be found over here in the Christian Bookstores. The publisher is Zondervan.

Pat you would have loved this trip to Virginia with all the new fresh blooms and beautiful weather. I could just picture you running around trying to get as many pictures as you could.

Well I,ll end for now but will be back this weekend. God Bless. Bonesy

Yes, Pat, the reports from the health fair are sent to both us and our doctor.  It's really a nice service.  I paid the $9 to have my thyroid checked, while I was at it.  They only charge for that and for the PSA for the guys.

Abby is here now, and wanting some of Grandma's attention.  I think it is time to get into our pajamas and read some books!

See you tomorrow!

Pat I went ahead and ordered PSP again from Dell. That first one I got the CD was damaged and it wouldn't load into my computer, I hope this one os a good one. I will have the book too. Do you have the book? It is pretty thick.

Has anyone heard from RuthAnn? I sent her a email just a little bit ago.

TTYL

Well folks, after having to come home early yesterday because of some health issues, I am finally feeling rested enough to sit and type to you all.  

First of all.....I was able to see the movie tonight...(The Passion Of The Christ).....all I can say about it is WOW!  I was in tears for most of it.  I am not able to talk about it yet, it really had an impact on my heart.

I also thought I should fill you in on the answer to my little trivia question from yesterday.  The average world temperature is 15*C or 59*F.  Not as warm as I would have thought, but it seems right.

Anyway, I am going to go.  I am going to take some time for some personal reflection with my Jesus.....

Love to all
Heather

I felt the same way Heather about The Passion movie and I guess I will always remember in a more intense way how Jesus suffered for me.   I was in Sears and heard two girls talking about it.  One was a Muslim.   I wanted to tell them why Jesus died for the sins of the world when they left the store.   The very end showed a Jesus without any blood on him and in his glorified body.   I am hoping it will get thousands and millions of people thinking about the most wonderful and important event in all of history.  

Time for bed now.   I am hosting a birthday party tomorrow.     God bless.

Love Ruthie

Hey Pat!...
I just stopped by to check out my last picture post.  It had all red "x's" - so I went to Photo Sense to see if I could find out the problem.  None of the pictures that I'd posted there to link to...were there!  What's happening?  I know they'd had some problems where they'd lost some pictures earlier...but these were there AFTER that, and I thought they were safe...   Are they still having problems?
Shalom...

Closing up a bit early.

Lots to think about here.
