Trying again with the toggle bar. I took it down to 12% and then clicked "save and replace."

Book Fort!!!

ETA: nope. Didn't change it. Why did they mess with it just when I had it figured out?

Also, thanks, y'all!

Welcome back, Chan!

moon, woo-hoo!

LynDee, Book Fort! But yeah, that's too big. I went into Photobucket, clicked on one of my pics, clicked the Edit icon, and slid the slidey bar down a ways. I preferred the old way with actual percentages.

Oh, my bad. It's under "adjustment" still, then "Resize."

ETA: There's also a "switch back to original Photobucket" in tiny blue type on the top right of the page, under your avatar and the Help menu.

Evening Purgies!


(((Sammy))) for the adrenal issues

(((Para))) For the potential teenager turned talented adult

(((Niyrak and Ni's niece)))

Caleb - employment vamp dust!

Cindy - WOOT! for payment!

Sunna - Yay! for lost poundage!

Moon - enjoy the 1st pass pages.

Blond - so happy you're happy. It's satisfying to see where you are in your life.

Blue - good luck on the walk!. Do you have massage therapy lined up afterwards?

LynDee - cool book fort!

Little - glad to hear the interview went well. Good luck!

:welcome: Hi Chan! Welcome back!

Kiddo #3 talked me into taking her to the premier of the last Twilight movie tonight. I imagine the theater will be packed with teeny-boppers. Should be interesting. (Feel good moment - she's still at the age where going to the movies with Dad is cool.)

I signed and mailed in my contracts today. I had a bunch of questions for Agent, which he explained to noob me. Apparently there is a difference between a "paperback" and a "mass market paperback", with different royalty rates. I guess size matters.

Sorry, That's Classified...
Let's add to Niyrak's day shall we???

7 yr old had fever at school so I was lucky enough to get my mom to pick him up... I'm home with him now and my mom is starting to feel sick.. (4 yr old was home sick Mon-Wed and she kept him for me 2 days while I was at work) So guess who gets to go into work tomorrow with a sick kid??? THIS GIRL! Yeah, I'll be there long enough to get my check and get the crews out the door... so much for overtime on next weeks check...
Christmas is looking very meek for my kiddos, but they will have gifts under the tree, just maybe not as many or everything they want...
*sigh*
At least I get time off work to maybe write some tomorrow...

You'd think after *mumbletyphrink* years trying to get published, I'd be used to people not returning emails. It still chaps my ass.

Seriously, just say "No." and hit reply.

*hugs Clovia*

The only good thing I have to say about tonight is that although we may have been plotting New, Useless Co-worker's violent demise, I actually haven't killed her...yet.

After me: Prison Orange is not my color. Prison Orange is not--

Yeah. That kind of night. Also, probably shouldn't be left unsupervised in my own brain.

I think I'd look good in Prison Orange. Still plenty of reasons to avoid.

Happy Friday!
