That's very kind of you. It's a sad fact that I also offer "emergency" mid-week candles for anyone who asks for them. I don't really advertise the fact as is it is never a pleasant thing to do (of course) and I would never "press" a candle on anyone who had just experienced a loss, and I never "presume" to make them. Most people know what I do and they come to me when the time is right for them. This way, the Monday candles stay mostly as memorials for "past" friends - so there should be no need for bumping. xxx
Yaaay! Complete success! I got them all! What beautiful kittehs they both are! (I use present tense when describing BridgeBabies, because they stay in our hearts unchanged forever) I'm so glad my instructions made sense! I agree that the first two are the nicest and I will definitely use them. I'll decide whether to include the others as I put the candles together. Such a shame that you lost so many other good pics! I learnt my lesson and now save my "special" pics on to discs as back-up in case the worst happens! Okay, I have what I need now, but you can always contact me if you want to add something, or if you have any questions, or about anything at all! I'm always checking in, and I always reply. Until the next time we speak, take care my friend. *hugs* xxx
I'm glad to see you are here! I got your message in-between. Of course, separate ones is no trouble at all, my friend, and thank you for taking the time to look at my others - I do my best for each of them. Right, back to sending links. Firstly, you need to make the picture into a LOL so that cheezburger will give it an address. You don't need to add a title or any text, just hit the "build" button and create the LOL. Once you've done that, the top of your browser will show it's address (starts with "http" and will have your name in it along with a long number - just like the link I sent you). Again, put your cursor in front of that "h", click and hold the LEFT mouse button, and highlight all the way to the very end of that long number. This time, when you RIGHT click on the highlight and the menu box appears, click the option that says "Copy". Now come to my dashboard and click into my message box like you're about to type something. Then click that RIGHT mouse button again. In the menu box select "Paste". Your link should now appear in my message box and you can post it to me as usual! I don't know how well I've explained this, but, as you're here, and I'll be around for a while, you can try, and let me know if I need to explain anything better. If it all goes horribly wrong, just let me know, and you can show me your choice of pics another way. Good luck! xxx
Okay, links. If you know how to use a link that someone has sent you, then we are already part-way there. But, just in case you don't, I'll start with this. Here's a link: http://cheezburger.com/scoobysoo/lolz/View/5733345536 Put your mouse cursor right in front of the "h" at the start. Click and hold the LEFT mouse button, and "drag" your mouse along the text until you reach the "6" at the end and release the left button. It will now be "highlighted". Move your cursor over the highlight and click the RIGHT mouse button. A menu box should appear, and one of the options at the top should read something like "Go To Address". Left click that option, and your browser should take you to my candle for Demon. If you already know this stuff, I apologize - I just thought I'd cover the whole thing, especially as I will be sending you links to your candles when I post them, so that you don't miss them. Next message will be about sending links. xxx
Hi Shadow83! Thanks for your quick response! I had read about Tommy and Sherman in your profile info, too. It sounds like Tommy had a wonderful long life thanks to whatever fates brought him to you (once in a while they get it right!) Sherman's tale brought a tear to my eyes also. How horrible. For him, and for you to watch him go through that. I'm so very sorry. So young, too. My own Demon boy was lost to me about a month before he would've turned two. It has been nearly 3 years now, but I still think of him every day (and most days I cry a little) - he is my inspiration for everything that I do, including the Monday candles. My friend, firstly, I'm guessing that you would prefer separate candles for Tommy and Sherman, please let me know if I'm right. I'd like you to have a quick look at my other candles (in my "Favorites" tab you'll find the folder) that way you can see both the individual ones and the joint candles - this may help you to decide. Next, I'm going to send a separate message to you about sending links. I may not be very good at explaining it, but there is an easy way around it which I'll tell you after I have bored and confused you! xxx
In which parks did you serve? We've done the Az/Utah canyons....need to get back there. Yosemite, King's, Olympic, Yellowstone/Tetons...Glacier (my favorite) late last summer and then across through Custer, Devil's Tower, Wind Cave, Badlands. Acadia, Everglades, Volcanoes....can't remember them all, now. Love them. ~catena
Sorry to hear that the plane is gone! Bummer. You doing okay? The economy is so sucky these past...heck...5, 6 years? ~catena
Ohai, S83! How are you? I've had an influx of extras, so if you see something you need, ask away. I've also got some coming. And I have a few coins yet, as do some of my peeps, so when it gets down to not being able to find something, let me know. ~catena
Aha! I see that NC has has recommended you to me for a candle? Apparently she thinks I'm a boy - but I'll let that slide past! I would be more than happy to make a candle (or many) for you. As she rightly pointed out, my next free spot is March 12th. I hope that will be okay. It gives you plenty of time to send me link(s) to pic(s) of your BridgeBaby. I can use up to 3 pics for any one candle, so you choose your fave(s). You can also have a think as to any special text you would like me to use - is there a song or poem that brings your friend to mind? If not, don't worry - just give me an idea of the sentiment you want to express, and I'll find something for you. Just tell me anything you would like me to include and don't be shy to ask if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, my new friend. *hugs* xxx
Hi Shadow83! Very nice to meet you! What an amazing job you did! You have my instant respect for both your work and your love for your animal friends! :) xxx
No, I haven't, but I have had the pleasure of speaking with her on the phone for close to 2 hours. She had a wonky phone service that didn't allow her to phone Canada, and I am very close to the border. So I took my US cell phone, drove to a church parking lot near a graveyard and used my cellphone to pick up a New York tower. Luckily it wasn't a really cold day and I sat in the car and chatted until I was almost totally out of airtime.
I move way too fast sometimes. There was an offer to vote for your Favorite Site on my dashboard at the top above where the photos are and I closed it by mistake. I was going to nominate my Southern Speak. Would you go through them and if you like it, would you nominate it?
I've got a few young ones that I am helping as well and I will be unfriending them as well. One of them, rileyholman, is the son of a good friend, canhazkitteh, one of my first friends here on ICHC, did up a video on youtube just for me thanking me for all the help. If I didn't have such great friends that are really giving, I never could have done it myself...NC is one of the biggest helps.
Sherman is very beautiful. I know how you miss him because you know I miss mine. If you submit his picture to scoobysoo, who is a good friend of mine, he will do a candle for him. It might be a month away, but it'll get done. He loves doing it and I just submitted Muff, my first dog that Jimmy killed.
I'm doing well with collectibles now, helping to fill others sets...I see that we have many friends in common, like NCcharmer and my fellow Canadian, littleAPC
The multiples rule was relaxed two days ago. Of course, they never announced it and people had to hear it from friends. It is why no one has asked you to relay. Or, if they did, they don't know yet. You can send as much as you want to the same person.
I love my little avatar too. I found him when I was developing the whatacharacter site. It only makes avatars for people who want or need them. It was a ton of fun. On the very first day, I sent out over 125 avatars. As you know, I enjoy being busy
