Oh, MY GOD....... Does it get any better than this!!!  I'm just so high right now, that there will be NO sleeping for me tonight!!!  My mind is racing.... I got an email from CousinConnect where I left a message the night before last-- and lo and behold, there was Sylvia!!!   I just got through replying to the message, and my first thought was to sign  in and let all you guys know what had happened----and YOU ALREADY KNEW!!!

I saw a notice somewhere where they were doing a documentary on BHC's and people's quest to find about their relatives--- they were looking for people to tell their story--- I'm feeling right now like I should contact them!!!

This is just too amazing.    Tooooo amazing!!!

I'm so happy for you Gail and Syliva

Attempted to attach a picture so you could all see who you were talking to, but the file was to big, shall have to find a smaller one.

It will be nice when I get to know who I'm talking to, this is all new to me and everyone is being so welcoming.

I must sound like I'm babbling but it seems so much to take in, so sorry for that, please bear with me.

Sylvia

Might help with your picture resize.
Hi there, to make pictures smaller this is what you do. First bring up picture, and then right click on it. It comes up with a list of things you can click on. They are as follows.

Preview
Edit
Print
Refresh thumbnail
Now click on edit. It now opens a new window for you. Paint shop I think it’s called.
On the top line it has a list of things you can do. From left to right they are.
File,   Edit,   View,   Image,   Colors,    Help

Click on Image, which will give you a drop down menu of
Flip/rotate
Stretch/skew
Invert/colors
Attributes
Clean image
Draw opaque

Now click onstretch/skew. You will see a box with
Horizontal on it ,it will have a number 100 in it click on it and make it 50.
Just below this there is a box with vertical on it and a number 100 on it click on it and make it 50.
Then click, OK button. This will shut that bit and reopen paint window. Now click on close of paint shop. It will ask you if you want to . change, click yes ok.

This should have now made your picture 50% smaller , so should be able to send it ,if it is still to big do all this again ok and it will come out 50% smaller again .  ok I think you will get the hang of it now .You know if you have made it small enough because it will go on page. After you get the hang of it, play about with the numbers you change it by then so you can get as big a picture as possible. Ok 
 
Right last few things now. First of all, print this out so you can read this as you go a long ok. Second and last, just before you save picture, change original pictures file name. so you have one new picture and one original size . good luck and let me know how you get on.
