Cheers Pete, many thanks for the congrats on my 3rd place in the "roofs" comp'. Again, loads of brilliant entries, so plenty of surprise and pride at making the top 3. Thanks again, Keith
Out of your sugar sweet avatar ... how many chicks' name cards hv you privately received so far ?-))) ... what ? ... sure! you may answer in ticking "private"
Bro, have to thank your for you cordial congrats on my shooting star. Why don't you come over for a wonderful refreshing cold double ?
Just to keep you happy, I've included a closer shot of that farm plough on my latest critique. And yes, I was there and thinking, "better take a shot of this cos pete's bound to mention it" lol. See, you came on holiday with me ;)
======
ah, my Clayton's holiday eh?! well good to see you're getting some good photographic material to presernt to the fotkins! Good to see the friendly blog is working well too, the Kids At heart is well named and a good place for it.
And yes, I tried changing the size. Didnt seem to make much difference, but I've just done it again. Obviously I didnt make them big enough. I think it's worked now. Although, now I quite miss them being smaller lol. Women, never happy eh?
=========
You don't have to change ALL your photos to a larger size. If you like smaller photos in your albums you can make the default size in youyr My Account settings the smaller size, and just change the size of the photos in the album you want to post to the blogs. Go into advanced properties for the album and change it there.
And yes Marilyn IS a darling isn't she? You know what us boys are like!
Thanks Mate.. You have been a wonderful friend from the very start.. If it weren't for you and a few others.. I would have not enjoyed being here.. :):) Now I have made many wonderful friends.. If you had not been so good to me.. I would have not stayed around.. or made my presence known... It's my hat that is off to you!! ((((hugs)))) Marilyn
ooO, dear Peter ,Ooo, thank you so much for your donkey pet words. He made a great run and is now for rest while the axle is under experts' investigations :-)))
Is it me or does this place get more conflicted by the day? Hmmm.
Jo...putting the "fun" back into Dysfunctional ;)
hope you're having a good week cockle. x

I know, I think people must let their guards down a little bit here, and forget that just as in everyday life, there are lots of very different personalities, cultures etc here, and just like in everyday life we learn to guard ourselves a bit, we need to do it here too. Just like in regular life there are some here who just like to be mean for the sake of it, we just have to try & ignore them. Thanks for being proactive kiddo.
Hi Peter Thanks for letting me know about the extra-curricular activity! I can see the absence of the regular contests has provided great scope for Fotkins to be especially creative! I've been busy with various things over the past couple of weeks so haven't been able to take part, but I've enjoyed looking at what you guys have come up with. True digital art with a smile on its face. Well done! All the best, Chris
Thanks, Peter....... we are going to the Orkney Isles, which are north of the mainland of Scotland........ we have been once before a long time ago, and this time we hope to explore some of the smaller islands. Weather looks as if we might be lucky, according to the long weather forecast, so that would be a bonus.
I have enjoyed looking at the photographs in the forum, and when I come back I will try to join in....... my time is a bit restricted though......
Thanks for all your support and friendship, Peter, it means a great deal to me. I have made some wonderful friends on fotki, and you are one of them.
Hi Peter, Thanks for the gidday. I haven't been very Fotkiactive, busy with processing photos and playing lawn bowls. Today I'm off to Darling Harbour for the Imaging Technology Show. Just got back from flooded north Queensland. seeyasoon, Charlie
What fun you guys are having! MAN! I have to be an "adult" today....work...work...work...work...work...work...work...work...work...work...work.. ............
Hi Peter! Many thanks for the heads up about the "Share This" button/privacy settings. Having our kids pictures on here, I like to restrict them to fotki friends only. You are a lifesaver.
I don't mind cockle. You can email me any pics of yours, they're all quality, and I just love messing around with photo's. If you have one that you fancy being a bit different then just shout. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. This critique fun is cheering mine up. Jo x
Hey you. I think the problem is that I had to download small versions. When I went to your photo it wouldnt let me save it for some reason, so i had to do a screen shot and paste into paint. So I'm working on a thumbnail kinda size version to begin with. :(
Thank you buddy, it was a beautiful service, and my daughter got up and read a poem to her grandpa, it was moving, I will show you it soon, but my husband did the slide show of my dads life, it it was amazing, it made everyone cry, and laugh, and the music was beautiful too!! I am amazed at how many people on here has been soo supportive, gosh what a nice feeling, I LOVE my Fotki friends!! And you have been such a tremendous support, I am truly blessed!! Hugs and Kisses to ya!!

Gidday mate, good to hear you're ok. Those slide shows are a brilliant idea, and yes the fotki family are pretty cool heh.
There are no weekly contests for a month because the fotki contest dude is on holidays so we'll have to amuse ourselves in other ways.
At the moment we are defacing one of the lovely Jo's photos:
