Well, when you just came through a summer of 117 and you have a non stop 24/7 headache of a 9, and you're trying to plant bulbs in pure clay that hasn't been soften up with water yet and you're dripping sweat struggling to dig one hole, yes, 78-82 does feel pretty warm day after day:) (Sept still had temps in the 90's & 80's). We finished in Oct. when it was 'cooler') It took us over 2 weeks to get those holes dug too in 3 beds and grandgirl never quit on me or complained either. I can only last a couple of hours pushing it in the sun and over heating, any more and I get a migraine and that's a week lost in bed.

TX is still WAY too hot in Oct. in my humble opinion.
Aggie, not everyone likes heat, especially if you have a thyroid disease. :-)

Carla

I have an underactive thyroid which is completely controlled by Synthroid so maybe it's age. I don't much like the heat anymore. When it is really warm I hide inside and come out later in the eveing. Like a bat. XD

Ummm, Diane, Ann, Jean, Olga and others out there. We want to see you.

I'm just too computer stupid to do this. I managed to get a photobucket account, but the rest is like flying to Mars for me. LOL

Carol

Well i don't have any recent pictures so i just took this one today-it's no glamor shot-just finished digging.

Hellooo Gardenweb!

And one more for fun-call me Rosie ;)

Poor Karl has been trying to teach me how to paste photos from Flickr. With no luck, I tried photobucket but still the same result, or NONresult. I think I will stick to posting the link for now. Maybe it is my firewall? I don't know. Normally I pick up on these things easy but I must be missing some all important detail. So don't feel bad.

What wonderful photos! I'm more of a lurker here, so I'll keep my face to myself for the time being. :0) But I'm having fun peaking at you all!

triple_b, if you have your photo uploaded to photobucket, you'll want to find the text box that's labeled "HTML" and click on that. It will automatically copy the code you need, then paste it into the text box of your response.

It's pretty easy from photobucket. I had to be taught too.
I can help pb users.

Carla

I'm opting out of this one, sorry Deb. I prefer to be like my favorite rose, Incognito.

In photobucket, when you look at your album, under each photo there are 4 boxes. One is labeled "HTML Code". Point the cursor in that box and just one mouse click (you don't have to do anything else, no copy), it copies immediately, Then, come back here and Paste that into the "Message:" box. Don't do anything to change that text. Your photo will display. Go over to the Test Forum to try it out.

This is bravery. Just off the i photo booth (3 minutes ago), no makeup, no shower and pre-Red Bull. Hope y'all are prepared.

Good to see you either way, in person or not! Looks like you're doing good, Jean. You're brave too, I don't even own a picture of myself.

Carla

I am really enjoying seeing you all! Here's my family...

IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU ALL AS MY ROSEY-FRIENDS,
CELESTE

I looked around on my computer and only found one picture. It is several years old but close enough. I'm the one in the middle!

Carole

{{gwi:265059}}

CelestialRose, you look just like your name. And what a lovely family you have!

Clare, nice to see you here. I don't think I saw your photo on the KT. Judging by your mom, you have a lot of healthy (and very pretty) years to look forward to.

I've been enjoying everyone's pictures. We're a good looking bunch!

Yes having rose growing in our lives tend to give us a nice 'bloom' don't you think?

You know what I am happy about? That there are so many MEN on this forum. Not because i am needy or anything, but because men often give very different and equally appropriate responses and solutions.

Some places should belong only to men or only to women. But I appreciate the dynamic on a multi-gendered forum!

Hi everyone! Usually I just lurk and read all the wonderful information that ya'll share and look at the pretty rose pics.
It's great to be able to put the names with the faces :)

hmm...I'll have to see if I can find a picture. I usually take the photos to avoid having mine taken:0) melanie

Am I just stupid that I can't successfully pull up Carol's pics link?

Carla

Here's one of Carol. Nice picture!

{{gwi:265064}}

Carla,

"Fog, weren't you in Niels' post when he came to visit you? So, I've seen you."

Rats! Foiled again.

F.L.

Carol, that looks like the Horseshoe Bay area. Am I right?

It's certainly nice to put faces to names. But I am a a bit surprised by this exercise. Call me paranoid, but we had a serious internet and computer security breach a few years ago. The RCMP officer who handled our case gave us a few "must not do's" when dealing with the internet - one cardinal rule being not to post pictures of ourselves on the internet, and take steps to try not to allow other people to post our pictures.

It's hard to describe myself, but I look nothing like a cactus!

Well it took me long enough to find a picture ... lots of pictures of flowers, husbands, etc, no pictures of me.

Taken Sunday- me with my neice.

Hi Everyone:
It's wonderful to see your faces, but I'm still working on learning to post pictures. In the meantime, imagine a short chubby woman with dirt on her hands, brown eyes and brown (dyed) hair. Cute in a grandmotherly sort of way and you have an idea of what I look like.
Kathy

Me fall of 2007 at Kirkwood, CA - Brrrr!

Cactus Joe -

My name and info and pictures are blasted all over the net so that's not a big issue for me (hazard of the job). I don't worry much about pictures unless the person is under 18. You are MUCH more at risk from other kinds of information about you on line.

Jean

triple B - beats me. It was on the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. My other daughter was having a meltdown about being on a ferry. LOL.

Thanks Alisande!!

Carol

I've been a member of GW for 7 years and have learned so much! I'm just now developing a habit of roses and having been lurking here for months! I'm glad to put faces to names. Currently I only have 10 varieties, but with since I cannot do a THING in moderation....that number will be growing...and growing.....

Anyway....here are a few trips from Cozemel in April

{{gwi:265069}}

Okay....that's me and I hope to be chatting with some of you more experiences rosie folks soon!

Debbie, It's great to see your photo and everyone else. I'm not going to post mine here since it's all over the Antique Rose Forum Gallery. I do reccommend the photo by Emmie Gray (Rosalians) This includes Missy Luanne Carol and Andrea(Emmie Gray)

Holy COW is that puppy cute!!! Poms are not my flavor of dog, but she is absolutely gorgeous!!! I am the wrong person to ask about names...I would have her called Bumber or Dodger or some silly thing!

If you have seen the other pictures of me on the Internet, then PLEASE take into account, that I was young, desperate and needed the money!

I'm in love... :)

This is more like me now. More lines etc. Taken 2 years ago at our last place, pre-rose obsession.

{{gwi:265071}}

triple_b, you are gorgeous in both photos. And LOOK! You posted your own photo, good for you! :o)

Way to go triple_b - I stand in awe at your computer wizardry!! Hoping that one day I'll be as good at posting as you!!

My husband tells me I look like a MOVIE STAR.....Ernest Borgnine

Greenhaven and Carol
aww shucks guys it's easy. All you have to do is torment Karl for a couple days and then 'pow' you switch from flickr to photobucket and "I can see clearly now".
(sorry Karl)

Redsox,
I just noticed your question in the opening post. You do not look anything like me. We can all be thankful for that. Especially Lawn Boy.

I was reluctant to post because it was obvious that only the really good-looking people supplied pics. But somebody had to open the door for the homely...

Can anyone tell me,an EXTREMELY simple and easy to understand method of posting a picture that was emailed to me? Is is possible? The email is saved in my pictures gallery with the picture at the bottom, similar to pictures posted in the gallery on the GW. This picture was taken by my dtr. and emailed to me. It is not on the web. P.S. I am very computer illiterate so I probably won't understand what you are saying if it's not easy for a dummy to understand. Buff

Buff, go to photobucket.com. Create an account (it is free, and they don't spam). Create an album. Upload your photo from your computer. Once you have uploaded, it will ask you to give it a tag, just click "Save and Continue". Next, you will see your photo, and there will be 4 boxes underneath the photo. Click in the box marked "HTML Code", it will copy the text automatically. Come back and paste the text in the Message: box here. Your photo will be displayed.

Since Debbie has always been such a good sport, and this has been an amazing week, I have decided to play.

Diane _nj you got to go to GREECE? That is way cool, and now my 15 yo will be jealous.

Brandy, cats are cute...bet you are cuter! But I agree...none so far as cute as the puppy, lol!

Diane, I want I want I want I WANT
