Well I live smack bang in the heart of Rabbitohs territory, which is not good for a Bears supporter trying to keep the dream alive...

Well, it's not really my website (although I do take an admin style role). Tell you what - I've got a recording session tomorrow and if it goes well I'll post a link to a copy of the recording

No, not really I've got plenty of pictures of me performing and if people don't believe it's actually me I don't really care.

Not be banned is reasonable question. I am simple French girl who know too much mathematics.
Well, I for one find your broken English charming. It's always clear what you're trying to say even if it's not the way a native speaker would put it - it's a sort of poetry, in a way.

I find it charming, too. It just seems to stay static. I want to see dynamic.

Remindes me of my last job (Dassault). We had people from Merignac (I think, maybe Argenteuil?) visiting to train us. We had this engineer that we worked closely with, at first it was really confusing at first (he knew almost no English when he came here). We all learned a little French, and he learned some English. You start to sound funny, trying to speak two languages at the same time.

But she never speaks another language (not even when typing). It's just broken English. I know what you are saying though. PLEASE POST A PHOTO OF YOURSELF ON THE MAP!

I'll try to find one (I don't have very many pictures of myself, I'm usually holding the camera ). I think I'll have to scan one. I just now got a digital camera. I've been using 'real' film until about a month ago.

Ok, I put one up, but it doesn't show up if you click my name. (?) It's under the 'recent photos' area.

I don't even show up on the 'members' column...
If you zoom in on Texas, I'm there though.

PS -
how do I make JPEG files smaller? My digital camera (8+ megapixels) makes files too big to post here.

I use Microsoft Photo Editor. If you email me a photo, I'll resize it for you. FOR FREE!

I use Micrografx Picture Publisher. It's old, but I like it. I can reduce the picture size, but the file size dosen't go down by much. I forget what the max file size is to upload to the board, but mine are too big.
Maybe if I convert it to a .bmp, but then it won't be as good...
Is a .tif file smaller than a JPEG?

I bet it's too big. Let me know if playing with it doesn't work, I'll help you out.

Ahh....
This is from the 'Edit profile picture' screen

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 64.0 KB (whichever is smaller).
Mine are 8-10 times that....
