Here are just a few things that I believe I've learned from my recent heart attack. While I feel great (best I've felt in about ten years), I guess it's time I stop and reflect about what's just happened to me. Two weeks ago, I could have told you I was in perfect health and didn't take any medicati…

Did you know that Kodak invented the digital camera? And have you ever commented before that when you took a shot it was so great that you didn't have to do anything to it? Maybe you even said (as I have done before) that it was "straight out of camera." Here's some great educational info from Rick…

I'm amazed that almost everyone seems to have the opinion that his opinion is as good as anyone's opinion. So...are all opinions equal? Asked another way, is the crazy opinion of the village idiot, based on pure nonsense, equal to the opinion of a responsible, well-informed citizen- one who has thor…

Have you ever been to a family reunion, wedding, funeral, or some other social gathering where someone remembers you, and you can't remember ever meeting them at all? Recently, I met a nice couple at a 60th Anniversary Dinner for some friends. They were telling others around us all these wonderful t…

Thank you, everyone, for your continued prayers for Mom. For those who don't know, my mom took suddenly ill late yesterday afternoon and evening, and by the time the ambulance arrived she was almost gone. BP dropped at one point to something like 56 over 23, which they tell me is not good at all. (P…

I just read a great article from Janet Brien www.ipernity.com/home/290645 entitled "Helpful Guide for Refugees From Flickr." There are several follow-up articles as well, but be sure to start with the above-mentioned resource. (and thanks Deborah Smith-Campbell www.ipernity.com/home/deborah for poi…

Only a few weeks left and we'll have the rest of our photos and videos moved to Ipernity. The changes at Flickr are just too much for me to have to deal with on a long-term basis unless they make some drastic changes. I find Ipernity refreshing, and while I'm slightly disappointed that more people h…

Words can't describe the overflowing joy of seeing my new grandson for the first time. It was as if I were re-living the experience I had in seeing Kolton, my first grandson, for the first time. And if I live long enough (God willing), maybe I'll be able to witness the lives of my great-grandchildr…

For the second time after buying a 2-year Club Account, my uploading has been halted and I'm getting the message that I've reached my quota for uploads. As you know, Club Accounts come with unlimited uploads. The last time I turned in a trouble ticket and got a very quick, nice response saying it wa…

I've placed Steve my assistant in Mobile (Alabama) so that I could return home early enough to be able to hopefully catch the birth of my new grandson during the next few weeks. Being on the road and working long hours means little photo time, but with Kristin and Kolton not around me, there's not…

transferring a few more of our photos each day. I'm still not quite 1/3 done, so I'll have to hustle to get the other 2/3 of the transfers completed. I'm still looking for a Ipernity transfer utility that will move entire albums. I'm told that's in the works. I can hardly wait!

Thursday (05/30/13) I began getting an error message when I tried to upload saying that my quota limit for the month had been exceeded and I'd have to wait until the next month to be able to upload again. Since I have unlimited uploads I knew this didn't make sense. The staff responded quickly (than…

I'm getting a "quota reached" message when I try to upload photos, although I bought a 2-year club membership. It says I have to wait another month before I can upload a photo. I'm sure this is a bug, as I've read and re-read the Club Membership benefits. I put in a trouble ticket, but haven't heard…

Slowly learning my way around in what little spare time I can manage to find. Still, not even being very familiar with this interface, I'm able to get around better than I was in the "new and improved" F*ckr. (btw, whoever came up with that phrase "new and improved" was a moron. One implies it just…
