Right click on image.

Select 'copy image address'.

Back to forum - click in 'image insert' icon and paste between the thingies.

Or use the likes of Imgur for pics you want to keep/use elsewhere.
I use FB, may look into something else

Recovered mostly. Spent last night shouting down the toilet repeatedly. Finally graduated to a bucket next to the couch after missus Bwana found me on the bathroom floor praying for a quick and painless death. Thought I was okayish most of today, even went to the hardware store to get stuff to repair a leaking kitchen sink drain. THought I was okay until the bowling ball returned to its wrongful location in my gut. No fever, no shits, just repeated technicolor yawns all fuking night long. Alcohol wasn't a factor. :thumbdown: Hopefully tonight won't be an encore performance.

I use IrfanView (don't know if it's still available) to resize pictures. Open the programme, paste in the picture, resize to 800 x 600, save as. It couldn't be easier. If someone can't do that then they're just a lazy fucker. :thumbup:

Came in to work today and it's like the Mary Celeste! There was a COVID breakout out last week where 2 people tested positive and 15 have had to isolate, so now even the essential workers have had to WFH leaving just us scummy disposable contractors to carry the can.

I'm similar I get 31 days leave a year and the office is closed for 4 days at xmas. Due to the short term paycut we had June -Aug I was on 4 day weeks through the summer so had a stack of holiday left over. Work have let us carry over 7.5 days into next year (starts April) so I'll have 38.5 days next year plus xmas :banana-wrench:

When I was off 2 years sick at McAfee they had to give me 64 days extra holidays when I went back part time. :D

IIRC they paid some as cash as they wanted me back ;)

Made a pot of coffee...
...only enough creamer for two cups, bugger.
Have a cup of coffee
Have to go shopping for breakie cereal & a few other things anyway
Hit lotto store
Hit Grocery store
Hit Pharmacy (who only had 1 of the 4 things I wanted)

Get home, unpack milk, cereal, ice cream (Haggen Dazs Rum & Raisin)

No fucking creamer... :angry-cussingblack: I walked right past it to get the damn milk. :roll:

I have a cunning plan...

I'm going to console myself with the ice cream & then after a nap I shall go back to the store for the creamer AND replacement ice cream.

Slight change of plans.
Got the creamer & then hit up the taco truck for $20 in tacos on the way home
3 chicken
3 beef
4 pork

Then the E-4 Doomsday Bird came back for some more circuits & bumps..
