I guess I don't understand what you are trying to do Mike. I though you just wanted to post the pic on ECF when you do it the way I said it remains on the Google Cloud but also posts the pic to ECF or where ever else you want to post it.

Yep ... your method works fine for displaying the picture on ECF and still keeping it on Google. But your method also makes a copy of the picture on the ECF servers. I'm trying to just use BB code to display the picture in an ECF post while the only copy of the picture is on the site where the picture is hosted/stored.

Well..I've just been reading all these posts about using various photo hosting sites, all various ways to get them posted onto here and the various challenges you are having in doing this...... and now i have a headache and i'm a bit dizzy, so I'm gonna go lay down for a while....

When I was working at the print shop I once congratulated a client on her upcoming child and was informed in no uncertain terms she WAS NOT pregnant. I think what really p.... her off was when I kind of slipped and said "well you coulda fooled me." Lost the client but, nobody got too upset cause she was much more pain than she was worth. If she wasn't preggo she was smuggling basketballs.

Sometimes, that's the trigger that makes people gather the strength to bypass the doughnut, cake, and candy aisle at the grocery store (and I'd guess you won't see her in the print shop anymore!).

Well I wrote a letter to my Congresswoman but the VA is making me jump through so many hoops having to call here and call there to get my info sent to my Oncologist. The girl at the Oncologists office said she feels bad for me having to do all this because they are to lazy to care of it on their end. I have had to make 5 phone calls so far just to get the info sent to the doctor that they were originally having me see. Actually I am kind of glad I am going to transfer this over to Medicare. The Oncologist is just going to use what is left on my VA Choice assignment for the first few appts. They already ok'd me for that and then transfer it over to Medicare so they are going to get the bill anyway.
They tell me I need to see an Oncologist for a consult then they are being big PIA's getting the info too him. Oh well keeps my mind busy.

Well phooey!!! Put most of the pics in Google drive and can't find anyway to post them. Won't let me do the "copy/paste"....pics I put into Google photos that method will work with.

 

[DavidOck]

Uh, just do the copy/paste from the image you have on your hard drive?

I did that with the couple of images I posted yesterday evening. I'm limping along on a computer that has a lot of problems and my first priority was to deposit all of these old pics I'm scanning to a safe place should this thing decide it's time to die completely. Add to that, I have a lot of things on PB that I had removed from my hard drive....for much the same reason.....I don't trust my pc to continue for too very long. Once I get done...soon, I hope.. with all of this scanning, and if PB doesn't lock me out from downloading what I have stored there... I'll go back for what isn't on my hard drive anymore....

Can you burn a DVD on the machine? If so, copy all your pics to disc. (I actually keep two sets of DVDs for my pics, along with a monthly whole disk backup, manually started to a normally unplugged USB drive.)

LOL....David, this thing is so messed up it didn't even want to recognize that a disc had been inserted...

I was a fat kid from about age 7 to age 13-14. In 8th or 9th grade, I was walking home from school and a classmate who lived in my neighborhood caught up to me from behind and said: "I'd walk home with you but I don't have the time. See you later, fatso!"

That did it for me. Kids are so incredibly cruel to each other, so I give no kudos to my classmate Tom, but his cruelty inspired me. I lost about 70 pounds in the following year.

These have a rubber boot on the bottom, you can remove that boot, and there is a spike for snow, ice, and mud. It then has a "basket" that you can put on upside down, to prevent it from going too deep. I will be using one for most times, but both of them for longer walks. So much cooler than a walker. There is a guy at church with a low back injury who walks with the long arm crutches. His wife nudged him when I walked in this morning. Wearing a (possibly) permanent invisible sock on my right foot does horrible things to my sense of balance-- neighbor says I walk a lot smoother. Really wasn't aware of how often I almost lose it.

so glad they are working so well for you

For me it's not that bad although they have been following my lungs for 3 years and now have to make sure that all the records get transferred to the right people in a timely manner, but what about the guys who don't have Medicare they don't have this option and they depend on this. The Social Worker toldme of people that have a bad retirement and don't have a good supplement and just can't afford to do this or pay the co pays involved with Medicare and were depending on the VA choice program, for them it is either find a way to travel or forget about getting the care you need. I guess the Wall is more important. Plus many of them don't even qualify for having the travel paid for or the hotel and they can't afford to do it.

Jup, it makes me so angry when they stop benefits for any vets! They deserve so much and more.

Heres Ginny's latest project. It's been keeping her busy and her mind off of all the crap going on. A lot of work.

that's really pretty!

Let's try again.

great pics! what a wonderful family fun time. Cept for Miles being unhappy in the water

Ok Mike, here's what I did:


1....left click to open photo to large size
2. right click to 'copy image'
3.....right click to paste where desired

Oops, I accidentally posted it twice while I was making sure of the steps.

Just in case, I'm re-doing it here:

that's gorgeous!!!

Not sure how many American Ninja Warrior fans we have, but last night they had a 65 year old man run the challenge. He almost finished the 3rd obstacle. Set a new record for the oldest man to make it past the first obstacle...

I love ANW and record and watch it every year. I might have missed the first couple seasons, but have seen most of it. Loved that guy! The next one (forget which city) had a guy who was even older get through one obstacle. He was 70 That's really amazing!
this woman is pretty amazing too!


so far PB isn't giving me issues, but I know it's just a matter of time. I have about 1500 or so emoji thingys in there. I did get my card and paper crafting photos off there by dl'ing the album.......thanks for that tip Mike! But have around 1500 smileys that I am pretty certain I foolishly deleted from the hard drive when I uploaded them one by one to PB. I could just drag them into PB, but apparently can't drag them FROM Pb.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that you can insert a thumb drive or whatever they call a flash drive these days and just hit upload in Google Photos and put them all on there. I have our phones and What's App set so when ever we take a pic or one is sent by way of the app it will automatically back it up to G Photos. Works real well. My computer also came with a program called Lenovo photo and I can just put them there and they are saved to my hard drive. I also have them in my Verizon Cloud so like when I got a new computer I just got logged into My Verizon and downloaded them to my hard drive,
This computer that Gary recommended is so cool for a $450 computer It is amazing.
@garyoa1 Thanks again

 

[2legsshrt]

Also if you use the setting that has unlimited space for your photos which seems really high quality to me you can put as many as you want. I have PS Elements also I think not sure anymore whether I got it carried over. It is an old version and just like my camera which is excellent which is close to 10 years old is excellent if I knew how to use it can do some amazing things. It's a Canon Rebel EOS. I just use the auto everything setting. Takes some great shots that way but it has so many other features that someone who had knowledge about photography could use. I occasionally charge the battery in it and maybe take a couple of shots. 2 good lenses for it.

On the news the other day they interviewed an elite ladies basketball team. They were pretty good, but getting on the team seems to be very selective - First you have to be at least 70 years old and one member was 91 ... I couldn't imagine playing basketball now much less when I am 90...

So glad you were able to get it, and are loving it!

That did it for me. Kids are so incredibly cruel to each other, so I give no kudos to my classmate Tom, but his cruelty inspired me. I lost about 70 pounds in the following year.

I was chunky as kid. When I was about 15 I had a case of strep throat and couldn't swallow much of anything besides water and tea and soup for a couple of weeks. I lost about 15 pounds and liked the way I felt at a lower weight. Since then, I've been up and down, but when I get to the point where I need to go up a pants size I lose the weight instead. It was the Strep Throat incident that made me realize I could do that.

The most effective strategy I've found to keep it off is to learn to recognize the satisfied feeling when it hits, stop eating at that point, and just get up from the table! That works for me. Never mind when people say, "Sit down! There's coconut pie and chocolate cake for dessert!". I just thank them and tell them I can't hold another bite!

If my weight is holding steady, I'll slip and have dessert. If I go up a couple of pounds, it's no dessert for me until I get it back off.

I lost 12 pounds that way a couple of years ago and it hasn't returned. It's time to lose 12 more. Then, I'll be back in 36" waist pants!

this woman is pretty amazing too!
