Photo sharing
I use smugmug. There is a small yearly fee around $40), but I love the way it makes my pictures look and friends and family can order prints directly from my site. Check my page out at sharonwhaley.smugmug.com
does anyone use a photo sharing site,
that they recommend? I used snapfish before, and and i see that Walgreens uses the same program -- but some have said there are better sites to share photos -- but i don't remember which ones they are (that don't require membership, etc). thanx.
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
My hands often get cold too this time of year. I buy the little stretchy $1 gloves, cut off the fingertips and that helps as well. Happy Friday! 
Great News!! Thanks for sharing!!
will keep you in my prayers.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Great advice - thanks for sharing!
That is a great story. Made my day. Thx for sharing.

ER MT that photo rocks!!!
 That is one of the best photos out there...makes me laugh my patootie off everytime!
ER MT - that photo actually scared me
I was up late half awake and that photo popped up! Then I thought, you know that's a lot like me when I do ERs!!! Of course, for me it's because I'm not so smart yet and a bit frazzled. New specialty, just sometimes. Thanks for the giggle!
These photo's are a hoax
These photos are from a scene in the show "Lost". See link below.
What is sad is that some sicko would do something like this and post it on the internet.
Anyway...here is a link I found that it's a hoax...

Did you catch the photo on Fox of her taken out of her estate?
Gosh, she looks like you or me, did not seem like she had time to have her makeup done professionally before her next 15 minutes. Not hot.
There's no Thank You in faint print on photo

Photo upload did not work - trying again

Seems it's time for that dreaded photo for my SM
driver's license. . . LOL! Those people have to have a camera that is rigged. Why do I always look like I should be holding the plate under my chin with a number on? The last time I went for a picture four years ago this woman who worked there approached me at the door, smiled and said
"Oh, you can fix that if you want." She pointed to a mirror. Sadly, I had no idea what she meant!! 
Photo restoration - see message
If you have a scanner (if not they can be pretty cheap) you can scan in photos. I'll bet lots of people out there have photos they'd like reproduced for family members. Also I do photo restoration of old photographs (need a program like photoshop). You can make photo collages for people. My grandfather just passed away and he gave us tons of slides he took of us kids when we were little (I'm talking tons (like 1000 or more). I'm scanning them in (getting rid of the red, green, and dirt (they are over 50 years old) and making collages for all my siblings, but am sure with some "creative" advertising on your part you could do this for money.
My cat has mastered my photo-printer. -(sm)-
She loves when it whirrs and clicks as it's starting up. So one day when she walked on it and accidentally started it, she's spent lots of time trying to figure it out. She now has narrowed it down to the 'start' button.
If I WANTED her to start the printer, of course, she would have nothing to do with it. But the fact that I DON'T want her to start it, makes it all the more fun and interesting.
Hats and a Smile: Photo inside
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Conner, a 13-year-old boy from Indiana who had a BMT for a very rare disease called NEMO. Only a handful of NEMO boys have had BMTs with "mixed results" according to Conner's mom. Conner's transplant was in August and he's had a rough time with a few highs and lots of lows. I thought it would be neat if Conner could get a hat from every state to maybe boost his morale as well as cover his bald head since it's getting cold! So far four hats have been sent and a few more are pending. I was hoping you all could help out by either sending a hat, or even just passing the links along as the more this gets around, the more hats Conner will receive.
At least check out his web site that his mom and dad maintain updating his progress, posting slide shows, etc. Conner is one in a set of triplets and also has a 10-year-old sister. The photos tug at your heart and the music rips out what's left of it. It would be great if you signed the guest book. His mom says they read it together every day and it means a lot to the both of them. This family, and especially Conner, needs all the encouragement and support they can get.
Thanks everyone!

Empty photo album and a journal.
The easiet way for me to upload photo here is to use Photobucket.com s.
After you are done uploading your photo, your photo will have a DIRECT LINK in one of the boxes. Copy that link into the Post Image box on MTStars (under the Avatar/Profile ID box).
AFter you post the link, TA-DA, the photo will appear when you post! Very simple. I love Photobucket only to upload pics to the net.
I coach softball and my favorite gift was a sweatshift with photo of the team and all the kids signe
They signed it in some kind of indelible ink which is great because I actually wear it all the time. I also got a plaque that looks just like the shirt, which is nice to have because I'm sure I'll wear out the sweatshirt. I love them and feel proud when I wear the shirt. We were champs of the league and the district and for a couple months after the season we were all kind of local celebrities! I played at a high level myself traveling all over Italy and Japan, but coaching this group was the best experience of my athletic career.
Thanks for sharing!
It is always nice to hear stories like this especially when it has to do giving our military folks a reason to smile!!
ditto...support them 200%...disappointed in the administration but always hoping for a better day..
Thank you so much for sharing this
It officially brought chills to me. It is amazing how his voice had not been discovered before this. I love love love the reaction from the two "mean" judges. Wow.
LOL, thank you for sharing that :)
I just checked out my area and so far we've got worught iron chairs, a bed from Hoffen Koos and a lot of matresses.
I'm still laughing about Hoffen Koos.
LOL

Thanks for sharing the tip.

How precious! I LOVE orange kitties. Enjoy!
Just sharing sm
My sis was 59, had tried to quit several times, but every time something stressful happened, she would smoke again. I can't give you specifics because she didn't want to hear my sermons, but Stage IV with no symptoms whatsoever except a lump in her neck. I wished she would have listened to me. I was putting my tree up today and cry every Christmas. Please don't let this happen to you. The doc said, "You have Stage IV so keep smoking, what's the difference?" I care about you. Please stop! There are no excuses. My sister would not accept my tough love, I hope you do. I don't have any idea who you are but I will beg you to stop. No excuses.Use lollipops, cinnamon sticks, ice cubes, Nicorette, something to keep your mouth busy but smoking. You'll feel better, smell better, look better. Treat yourself to a manicure or something each week you make it.
Thank you so much for sharing! sm

Thanks for sharing this recipe
I'm going to visit my daughter at college soon so I plan on bringing a bunch of "supplies". She lives in a house with about 6 other girls this semester. I'm going to bake a bunch of these to bring also ! 
That is so sweet. Thanks for sharing!
My teenage son did something like that, only it was a song that his favorite band (Good Charlotte if anyone is familiar with them) sang and I think it was called Thank You Mom. He sent it in an e-mail thanking me for all I had done for him while he was little and since he has gone off to college. I cried like a baby when I heard it. He also has a My Space page that we can access and under one section, it asks for his hero. He said something to the effect that now that he is out in the "real world" his hero is his dad. They used to fight like cats and dogs, so that was nice to see.
So, they do see what is going on, even if you don't think they do, and they do GET IT eventually.
Didn't know this either-thanks for sharing! nm
Wow. How uplifting! Thanks for sharing that! nm

I know a lot of people have asked about it on this board and I just want to say it is possible if you really, really want it, and I really, really do. I still have about 80 pounds to go to get to my ideal weight, but I am not stressing over a number, I just want to continue to lose at a consistent pace, and I am feeling sooo much better.
Would you mind sharing?
My mom used to always keep a copy of The Pill Book which had pics of medications as well as info about them. When my son and my niece were little, they would play doctor (REAL doctor, not the other kind! LOL) and use The Pill Book to prescribe things for each other.
Hilarious! Thank you for sharing.

Sharing your past
I have an 18 yo son and a 16 yo daughter and this subject comes up occasionally. So far we haven't had to worry about their drinking or drugging, and it may have something to do with how both our pasts have been part of our teachings, age-appropriate, of course. We both come from alcoholic families though were blessed never to become alcoholic ourselves, but we've shared some of our expeirences from the standpoint of how they made our lives more complicated. We strive for simplicity in our family, and they can see how immoral behavior almost always makes for a more complicated life. At 18 and 16 they both just tasted wine for the first time (other than church) this Christmas and none of their friends drink, or even smoke. They know their grandmother died of emphysema.
They also know that my life changed drastically when their oldest brother was born 37 years ago when I was 18, and also that both their father and I have struggled hard all our lives because of not going to college. For every "but you came out okay" there's the answer that it could have been so much easier to get here had we made different choices, and making the right choices is what it's all about, isn't it?
Thanks everyone for sharing - still reading, lol. sm
She has had her "permit" and has been driving with me (and siblings, lol) for a year now. I have let her drive as much as possible because I too feel like one poster said about the more experience the more comfortable and responsible. My sister got killed in a car wreck at 21 so my DD is very aware of how panicky I am about letting her drive and myself letting go more than anything I think. She has been an excellent driver (while I am in the car that is). We do live in a little country town so she would not be allowed to drive into the big city with major traffic for a long while by herself. She has driven there 2-3 times with me and on her first trip I allowed her to drive to town, someone rear-ended us!! I laugh now though because she didn't know what to do at all. We were at a stop (red light), the lady hit us about the same time the light turned green, and DD proceeded to go with the greenlight! I was like hmm, what are you doing? She didn't realize we had been hit as she was proceeding to go when we got hit. It's funny after the fact because no one was hurt, just minor fender bender, but at least it was a learning experience for her and was not her fault.
My SIL's mother owns a Mexican restaurant close to us and will work around her schedule to allow her to work when she can so she does have the capacity of getting a job if she can ever have time to work. She has helped there temporarily on holidays a few times already. I think she will have some time this summer though as cheer practice is usually over at noon and she will just have to save up to pay her bills.
I kind of feel I should cover her with how hard she is working at school and activities, but don't want to "spoil" my child and not make her appreciate it and not learn responsibility so I want to make her be responsible for something. Of course, her 16-yo friend got a brand new, off the show room floor Mazda RX7. That is parental ignorance in my opinion and aint happening for my kids even if I could afford it. I can tell you one night they didn't get home from a game until 11:30 p.m. on a school night and I was livid. She was up until 1 a.m. studying for her semester exam the next day!! She is very dedicated, but that is ridiculous. Our local community college gives the entire top 10 a full paid scholarship so that is why she is encouraged to make the top 10 and pushing really hard towards this goal. She is already taking some college classes at school (combo classes) including A&P as she wants to be ultrasound tech and that is a tough class.
I have checked into ins, which is out the roof, but they also deduct points based on good grades, etc. so I want to at least make her partially pay for this so she will be encouraged not to speed, keep the grades up, etc. and realize it will all save her money by doing so.
Good tip though to let her drive home and to school. That is one thing we don't do as it is so routine she doesn't ask then and I don't think about it. You are definitely right, that parking lot is crazy and makes me never want to let my son drive when I see those teenage boys spinning out in the parking lot. I'll start letting her do that. Thanks again everyone!!
