My neighbors are moving this weekend. I am sad to see the girls go. I drive by their new house today, it's a couple miles from here and is big and gorgeous. There are also kids in the neighborhood so the girls will have someone to play with.

Is this the little girl who named Boo?

We haven't had a Boo and Callie report in a while.

And as for the close-ups in "Strictly Ballroom", I thought they were effective, and they are there for a good reason - which is reflected in the title of the movie. A good portion of the movie's plot is driven by the fact that Hastings "bends the rules" - dances his own way. The close-ups show just how he pushes the proverbial envelope in regards to the required ballroom vocabulary. He and and his partner, Fran, are not "Strictly Ballroom".

Yes, they are the cute girls across the street.

Callie and Boo are fine. Callie has started to sleep on her bed beside my bed. It's nice. She had been sleeping somewhere else in the house for the past few years, but has finally decided she likes being in the room with me.

DR Jose, what kind of camera do you have?

DR Laura - I have a Canon PowerShot SD600 (Digital Elph). I've had it for about three or four years, and I really hope I have it for another three or four years. -Although, I've started to notice some signs of "age". I really like this camera, and once I learned how to adjust the various settings, it really opened a whole new world of photography to me.

Thanks. I've about worn mine out. I hate to have to buy a new one, though.

this weekend I'm hoping to really deep clean the kitchen and find a place for everything that is currently on the counter. I did volunteer to help the neighbors move tomorrow. I don't think they but I've volunteered and will check in tomorrow to see if they need me to help.

Do the girls come to see Boo? And Callie?

Laura · « **Reply #188 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:42:56 PM »

Jose, on the Mac in iPhoto -- is there a way to smallerize photos? I do that in Paint on the PC.

No, not really. They asked a few times, but it was usually when I was on my way out the door. The other day I mentioned that they were sitting in the window and Brianna said "They are always in the window" so maybe they came over and talked to them through the window.

They really don't come over to my house. I go over there when they are outside and I have a few minutes to visit.

I usually do most of my editing in PhotoShop Elements. However, you can resize in iPhoto too.

I've been using Flickr a lot more lately for my photo uploads. The standard "display size" works well here in HHW and other sites, and I just have to copy and paste the hyperlink. Flickr also doesn't "dilute" the pictures like Facebook's uploader does.

The girls have 2 dogs. They had 3 I believe, but it's down to 2 now

DR Cillaliz - There was actually a write up about the Renegade Cabaret on The High Line a few days ago in The New York Times. In fact, here's the story:

Ok. So I made a flcker account and uploaded two photos. How do I get the display size link?

Cilla, I would be heartbroken if my two neighbor girls moved away.

Well... Here's where it gets a little tricky. -Sorry.

If you're happy with Flickr's default size, then...

1) Make sure you have the picture you want to display/link on your screen.
2) Click on "Share This" which appears in the upper right part of the window.
3) For other sites, you can actually just click on either "Grab the link", "Grab the HTML" or "Blog it" in order to link/post your photo on another site. However, for HHW...

4) Click on "Grab the HTML".
5) In the "stuff" that pops up, look for "<img src=""
6) Select/highlight the "stuff" from "http://" to ".jpg"
7) Copy the "stuff" you selected. That is the direct link to the photo in Flickr's files.

To post the pic here on HHW, use the IMG tags, and place the link you copied between them.

It's a little convoluted, but... You could always go back to PhotoBucket and use the Edit-.Resize commands over there.

DR Laura - If you Quote this post, you'll be able to see what I edited out in order to display the photo properly.

*Which brings up my only true pet peeve with the current board set-up. It's not fully HTML compatible.

If we click on this link, then we can view the picture on Flickr. *And it also increases your "Views" on Flickr too.

You just need to enclose that link between [ img ] and [ /img ] (with no spaces)
