well, its time for me 2 admit my ignorance again. some things are just so simple that once you learn how--you wonder why you didn't know that long ago. ex: lately i've had problems gettin pics 2 upload from my camera card during hi usage times on py. many times i had quite a bit of text typed before i tried 2 upload the pics & when they wouldn't go thru--i lost the text & had 2 retype the whole thing later. i asked for help. the solution somebody offered was 2 just upload the pics 1st. if they go thru--THEN add the text. so, why didn't i think of that? it is so simple! well, here i am again--1 of those simple things i did not know but had wondered about. i'd seen some of those neat little smilies people put at the end of a post & wondered how they did that. then i saw 1 of them under the post text space & decided 2 click on 1 & see what happened--low & behold it magically appeared at the end of my text. but some, like the popcorn, i didn't see--assumed those who posted those got them off of some program on their computer. i mentioned it 2 TJ yesterday & she took a quick look & quickly said "why don't you just click on the word "more" under the other smilies". now--wasn't that difficult. i coulda been using all those cool smilies all this time & was just 2 dumb 2 know it. have ya'll ever done anything dumb? boy, it really makes me wonder what other simple things i don't know about & which one of them i'll discover next. anyhow, now that i've seen all the smilies, i can think of so many posts where i would have used certain 1's. but i just found out you can't go back & edit old posts. but some are just crying out 2 me for a certain smilie so instead of recalling the whole post--from time 2 time, as i recall some i may just mention the post # or the jist of it & show the smilie i would have used if i'd have known about them. all this may sound silly 2 ya'll, but i've always had a good sense of humor i suppose & it'll just make some posts a little more fun for me.
Edit: I also just learned how to "copy and paste" - saves me a lot of retyping! Better late than never to learn new tricks, huh?
