Wow, that's a very nice blob of something or other. Resizing your pics to 800x600 before posting is very much appreciated. Not that anybody could tell what this is exactly, but it sure makes it nice not to have to scroll back and forth while going up and down to see an entire picture is very helpful.

sorry you have a problem with my pix i posted .but I had already apologized for not knowing all the tricks to posting pix on this cite . At this point I can only ask for Ur patience or just ignore my post if its to much to ask.once again sorry dude .

Grab a picture editor from the net. Irfanview is a good one- http://www.irfanview.com/

You can resize your pics pretty easy to 800x600, then save and upload with no worries

I've read stories about how the river prospectors of old would find these ugly whitish nuggets in their pan and simply toss them out.... not realizing they were worth more than the gold they searched out....

[grayflint]

you stopped short in part of ur comment "river prospecters of old ....." old what ?

[TheCannonballGuy]

I think his intended meaning was "River prospectors of old times" -- for example, back during the 19th-Century.
