Excuse the old man here folks. I am trying, through mostly trial and error to find a way to display a photo in the body of this as opposed to having it tied to it as an attachment as happened when I tried to show a picture sent me last Easter by my Daughter.
Went pretty far afield figuring that might just help me which it did not. How the heck do I get a picture to display in the body of my posting instead of as an attachment, anyway? I give up! I sure do miss my old XP Pro, for sure. So for now, I am done!
Tsula, silly question Im sure, but if uploading your image didnt work have you tried just copying & pasting your stunning picture?
I myself have only seeded one article so far so lets hope someone with more experience shows up soon. My own attempt to get an image to post was as simple as copying the picture I wanted, then pasting it.
Hope Perrie Halpern or A Mac show up soon to help you out.
I am not sure what format you did this in, but if you put the pic on your desktop you can easily pluck it using the icon that is second from the left. I hope that helps. Usually I can do it for members, but for some reason, it says that it resides somewhere else... which is a new one on me.
Hi Perrie, thanks for stopping by. This Windows 8 is driving me nutso! Nothing is stable in it and it keeps changing the rules. They have what they call Libraries here so the route I guess would be libraries\pictures\random shots and then the picture itself from the index. Instead of making life simpler for the ignorant they have complicated it even more. Too much. Thanks for stopping by and I'll try to make some sense out of what we have now. tsula
As you can see below, Perrie came in with some suggestions concerning the routing. Thanks for the idea though. I tried it and it didn't work either. tsula
Thanks to you for your guidance. These are some of the pictures that I had posted on NV some time ago and am not sure if any of the folks would enjoy seeing them again? I have them all pretty well cataloged now and will start burning them to CDs so I won't face this problem again Once more my extreme gratitude to you for your guidance!!
I still hate Windows 8 though and the producer of this CPU is less than helpful.
tsula, they way I do it is just click on the little image icon in the bar at the top of the comment box, click browse and it brings up my pictures. Double click on the photo I want and then it shows up here. Love my XP.
I tried that now too Grump thanks to thesuggestions by Perrie. It works too.
Gotta rub in the XP, eh? Of all the OS that I have run that was the absolute best. My daughter has told me not to ditch my old computer because she thinks that she can save it. If she can and I can restore the system this one will go out on the curb.
I have it pretty much figured out now but it gets no better. The people who make this unit are the absolutely worst people where Customer Services are involved that I have ever run into. They spend their time directing your inquiries to various and sundry levels of Tech Support and not once offer legitimate responses. Right now I am trying to figure just which of the Bloatware they loaded this system down with that I can safely delete. Never EVER buy a computer made by a Chinese company.
Man this one is really cool. When that one wasn't carting hay it was hauling ensilage corn to be chopped up for the silos. I like your version better~!
There were a bunch of cool REO photos on Google. I had never heard of that car company. They make some really cool cars, didn't they? You drove that beauty to the dance, right?
Antarctica is a very fascinating place to me! But I have too many nasty memories concerning snow and ice which ultimately drove my Bride and me here to Florida.
I must also say to you that in looking at your avatar picture, you have been well named. It suits you!
Wow, I learned something here. I didn't know that REO made cars. The only REO I ever had anything to do with was that old back breaker. They did indeed make some pretty nice cars. Most of the cars of my youth were either Fords or Chevys until we started buying Buicks which we still drive.
Just now found this. Yeah, really nice cars. I love old cars. Sometimes I catch myself turning around and chasing them down the street just to get a look at them.
Absolutely Tsula. During the first two decades of the twentieth century, the REO was considered to be one of the finest motor vehicles in the country (on a par with Rolls Royce in England). The founder and CEO was Ransome E. Olds who, when he left REO, founded the Oldsmobile company. REO moved into power lawn mowers (good ones too).
I have them all pretty well cataloged now and will start burning them to CDs
Tsula,
If I might make a suggestion; pick up a couple of flash drives to use instead of CD's or DVD's. They're much smaller, far sturdier and hold two to three times the memory. I have one that cost $9 and will hold 8GB of memory. I primarily use it to transfer memory files from one computer to another. It plugs into any USB plug on the computer and, with 8 Gigabytes, one of them can pretty much store every picture you've got (with room left over for a couple of videos). Once you plug them in, they work just like any other memory storage location on your computer. They don't scratch like CD's do, are only about an inch and a half long by 3/4 inch wide and are sturdy enough to be carried on a key chain. If you get one of the high capacity ones (thirty or forty bucks at any WalMart or Radio Shack), you could back up your entire hard drive. I highly recommend them as replacements for CD's or DVD's.
Here you go. This is about as close as I can come, with the equipment I have. Mac can probably do better; much better, he's a photographic genius while I'm only a plodder.
Nice going, TTGA , even at 13 I was considered the smallest guy on the team so it was my job to keep the loads even and when con harvest time came I was the one in the silo spreading the ensilage. Nasty work that. A Mac I always look best when I am just a bit out of focus.
That picture brought to mind a story my dad told me when I was younger. The year was 1947 and my folks had been married for less than six months (I was still a year in the future). My dad went up to help my grandpa with the haying (only difference from this picture would have been the substitution of horses and a wagon for the truck; grandpa didn't stop using horses until 49). Dad had your position, stacking the hay, and my grandpa forked it onto the wagon. Suddenly, my dad heard a chuckle and, two seconds later, a whole squirming nest of snakes dropped at his feet. He went right off the other side of the wagon, turning the air around him blue, in a way that only a former Seabee could do. He was only a couple of years back from the South Pacific, where he had learned that snakes were not his friends. He could laugh about the incident in the Seventies, when he told me; but, I don't think he was laughing as much in the Forties.
They should have the capacity printed on the side (2GB, 8GB, 32GB, etc.). Your computer probably has between 100 and 200 GB of capacity, so you can see that you can store quite a bit of stuff on those things. A DVD has about 1.4 GB of capacity.
Very careful close up photography, probably taken just before daylight. That's a dandelion that has gone to seed (white fuzz) and has morning dew on it. I've seen a few like that with a flashlight, but never thought of getting a picture. Brilliant concept. Great job Tsula.
TTGA , I know about the snake thingy from the South Pacific too! Hated those dumb things and they were everywhere. Brother #2 was a Seabee and took a sniper head shot on Guadalcanal that didn't kill him butbrought him home.
When we were cutting the hay it was done with a great big horse named Major who drew the plow, mowed the hay, and drew the rig for turning and winnowingit. Big gentle beast.
I learned how to operate a power lawn mower on a REO. Rotary mower with a really powerful Briggs & Stratton motor on it. I was seven and it did not have a dead man switch. When I engaged the self propelled lever, it got away from me, went right across the lawn and through my mother's tulip bed. She was not happy. Since she could hardly be angry with a seven year old who was trying to help, she was unhappy with my dad. He didn't yell, though; he just showed me how to do it right. Not only did I learn how to operate the mower safely, but learned a much more valuable lesson that I didn't even recognize as a lesson at the time; how to deal with kids effectively.
Sorry here folks but I just ran across this. This is not one of my pictures. It was sent to me by my Brother in Law who knows about my interest is the oddities of nature. I don't know who took it so can not give proper acknowledgement for it. I do know that it is a Dandelion with morning dew on it which fascinates me too!
Leotie , I remembered this from the other day and thought that you might consider living here. The awesomeness of Mother Nature at her best and the ability to become one with her is exemplified here!Sorry no electric blankets, though!
Okay, then how about a battery-operated one? When I was a kid my older brother and I once built an igloo in our back yard and slept in it for one night - in sleeping bags, of course. However, we didn't have the fantastic Northern Lights to entertain us.
Didja bring your recharger with you for the electric blanket? I understand that igloos can get downright warm inside. Of course I have never had either the desire or the opportunity to find out.
In answer to what you wrote above, we lived for 4 years in an unheated without electricity house in northern Ct and, while there was no snow in it, it was cold enough to snow in it. Tough times but we survived and the operative word there is survived!
The closest I came to your experience, tsula, was spending a week with my best buddy (my cat - so no worries about mice) in an old frame farmhouse near Algonquin Park in Ontario, no electicity. I lived in the kitchen with the rest of the house closed off because the only heat was from this:
and this:
and by morning the hardwood was all burned out, so it was really nice and crisp in the room. However, the only heat in the outhouse, which was around 20 feet from the house (reached by means of a mad dash) was generated from what was down below. However, the way to get really warm was from splitting the firewood.
What was the most wonderful thing about that time was walking on a cold sunny day through the adjoining woods on snowshoes, with no sound but the squeak of the snowshoes on the frigid powdered snow, and the sweet smell of the trees as I walked past them. Now and then I could smell a waft of wood smoke from a distant farmhouse. It was before the days when the sound of snowmobiles destroyed the tranquility.
I really miss those times - the pure air, the silence, the peace.
Buzz, I'm sorry but in order to keep this in perspective, this was from 1932 to 36. My Father was fired from his job and didn't find steady employment until 1936. It was a matter of do you eat or stay warm? We chose to eat but again not every day. Lessons for a lifetime.
It obviously did not work and so the questions is; WHY?
Gonna try this once more

we'll now try this one:
Perrie, you're a genius!
Gonna try yet another tack to see if I can do it without physically
moving the file to my desktop.
Did it with a lot of most appreciated guidance!
That is a beautiful picture Tsula! I can see why you wanted it posted and I am glad to be able to help! (photo 2)
OMG... that is justgorgeous! I love it Tsula! (photo 1)
Thanks to you for your guidance. These are some of the pictures that I had posted on NV some time ago and am not sure if any of the folks would enjoy seeing them again?

I want to see the little Indian boy in the field tsula...
I tried that now too Grump thanks to thesuggestions by Perrie. It works too.
Gotta rub in the XP, eh? Of all the OS that I have run that was the absolute best. My daughter has told me not to ditch my old computer because she thinks that she can save it. If she can and I can restore the system this one will go out on the curb.
Nah, it will work just fine once you figure it out. I hope she can save your old one, that would be really nice if she could.
You mean this one of the 13 year old kid on top of the load?
Cool photo. That truck is an old Dodge, isn't it? I can't be sure.
Can you make it bigger so it can be seen a little better?
That's the one tsula, I love that photo.
I have it pretty much figured out now but it gets no better. The people who make this unit are the absolutely worst people where Customer Services are involved that I have ever run into.

That's one big ass Indian Grump. Do you know him? Looks kind of familiar to me. Hmmmmm, Will Sampson, that's it...
I wish that I could make it bigger and have been trying.
Believe it or not that is a 1929 REO and I learned to drive on that old beauty.
I figured it was too. Man, just think how long ago that was.
Kavika, I am pretty sure that is Little Beaver all grown up. Yup, pretty sure. Sorta.
Man this one is really cool. When that one wasn't carting hay it was hauling ensilage corn to be chopped up for the silos. I like your version better~!
tsula, that is one beautiful picture! I love the snow and ice and would live in it if I could.
http://
I have used this in the past and found it useful.
There were a bunch of cool REO photos on Google. I had never heard of that car company. They make some really cool cars, didn't they? You drove that beauty to the dance, right?
I found this one for sale, $16,000:
Thanks, Grump. That may very well be my next move!
Antarctica is a very fascinating place to me! But I have too many nasty memories concerning snow and ice which ultimately drove my Bride and me here to Florida.
I must also say to you that in looking at your avatar picture, you have been well named. It suits you!
Wow, I learned something here. I didn't know that REO made cars. The only REO I ever had anything to do with was that old back breaker. They did indeed make some pretty nice cars. Most of the cars of my youth were either Fords or Chevys until we started buying Buicks which we still drive.
Just now found this. Yeah, really nice cars. I love old cars. Sometimes I catch myself turning around and chasing them down the street just to get a look at them.
Before I leave this and to celebrate Mother Nature I would like to show you all one of what I call God's wonders.
Isn't this a beauty?
I don't know why I did get an e-mail alert for this posting. Not the first time I found a discussion by surfing around.
To post an image in the body of a discussion
1) Click on the "Image" icon in the Discussion menu bar (second icon from the left).
2) A dialogue box will open from which you can browse your computer and select the image(s) you want to post in the body of the discussion.
3) Select the option as to where you want the image to appear in the body (left, right, center).
A WINNER! Great composition, exposure and color!

Tsula - absolutely magnificent. Way to go.
WOW!!!! Tsula - how did you do that!!!
TTGA, this haywagon image even in soft focus and black and white has a kind of charm and yesteryear feeling. I like it.
Please tell us how this was accomplished.
Thanks for your response, A. Macarthur , Perrie set me on to the answer, too!
Great idea, TTGA , I have a couple of them sitting in my drawer, here. Don't know their capacities but wortha look!
Thanks, TTGA , That's quite a reputation. That big old truck was a wonder.
Nice going, TTGA , even at 13 I was considered the smallest guy on the team so it was my job to keep the loads even and when con harvest time came I was the one in the silo spreading the ensilage. Nasty work that. A Mac I always look best when I am just a bit out of focus.

Both of them are 2 Gb. I could get my entire collection, that I have been able to recover,on either of them. Good call, thanks!
