I may be old but the grey hair shows I've been paying attention.

Things to consider before you post.

Jan 29, 2008 12:12 AM by Discussion: Community
Don't post till you check your spelling. I know it might be difficult but why look like someone with a second grade education when you know you can do better. I think most just post and never look back to read what they have written first. Maybe you look after you post and think "oh no" did I really do that? Most miss-spelled words are just that, the person couldn't spell it, some are just silly as in the word wallpapers or problem, those look like someone who is frustrated but I think just re-reading your work is a must before you post. No one here might say anything but we do think it. There is no spell check for the posts here and I have been at other sites that have them and people seem to think they are too smart to use them. :LOL: I would say to that, so sorry but your post didn't make the cut because you didn't spell check. Here there isn't that option so you must proof read your post first and if you are not sure of the spelling please look up the word first to make sure you look like someone took a little time to read before you post. I do this for my own sanity. I try very hard to make sure I at least try to spell it right before I post. I might not be the brightest bulb in the box but I don't want to look like the broken bulb either. Please just check before you post and save the people here from looking at these mistakes and try to use "Caps" where needed. Couldn't hurt. Thanks from someone who goes crazy when she views posts like this.

Find out if you are out there in cyberspace...

Nov 17, 2007 7:26 PM by Discussion: Community
I googled my name and did a search on yahoo, and msn. I am everywhere man...It's crazy. I have stuff online since 2001. It's kinda scary to find yourself all over the internet. I did my full name and my first initial and my last name and came up with a ton of stuff. Just go out there and look. Tell me what you found? Are you as freaked out as I am?

Daughter has been missing 32 years

Nov 3, 2007 4:49 PM by Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This may not interest most but this is a true story. I have been searching for my missing daughter for 32 years. She was parentally kidnapped by her father, my boyfriend back in 1975. I have found her and she is healthy, married and living in Delaware. I live in Florida but that doesn't stop us from phone calls and emails. You just can't imagine what it's like to know your child is out there, get no help from the system, no help but hope when a T.V. show calls and acts like they are interested in doing a story only to never hear anything. That happened years ago. I finally found her after posting a letter to the Military website. Someone who knew my boyfriend and I at the time contacted me and told me where to look. He wanted no involvement directly but did point me in the right direction. Now after looking for 32 years we are in contact with one another. This is great and having the chance to talk and share information is wonderful. She knew information about me but very little was shared with her. She said she knew the family put me through hell and wouldn't give her much info during the years but had hoped I would find her someday. She now knows she has a half sister and brother, I have been blessed with two grandkids from her and she knows I have a grandchild with my other daughter. It is a new day, new year, new chapter in my life. If you have ever had a life like mine you would write a book, as many of my friends have told me to do. I however like my happy life and don't think I would like to put all my life in a book to be looked at. I would like to tell everyone that if you think you need to find someone to set the record straight or just fix a hole in your life, don't give up, keep trying. I did and now my life is going in another direction again and this time I have more to look forward too. Life is fun and now even a new day makes me smile knowing I can call or email her and say "Hi" I am thinking of you today. It's just great.

I figure most of my friends won't notice so why not tell all of you

Oct 15, 2007 4:30 AM by Discussion: Community
I figure I might as well let strangers say "Happy Birthday" to me, most of my friends will forget, family won't call I am sure, that happens every year....Don't get me wrong, Birthdays are not a really big deal but you know I do like to get anyone anywhere to say it, so go on....say it for me and I just want to see how many I can get from everyone here. Thanks in advance.....Maxine

I want to make all of my windowblinds more transparent

Sep 11, 2007 2:44 PM by Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I want to make al of my windowblinds more transparent, can this be done? If so how? Many have letters that are black and can't be seen, I want also to see thru them because so many submitted would look great that way on my computer. Thanks for the answers I am sure I will receive. You all are so great with helping others.

To be able to view these works is what makes life worth living

Aug 24, 2007 2:16 AM by Discussion: Skinning
Sometimes I just can't believe I am able to belong to such a wonderful site. To view the works of such talented people just freaks me out. Then and just then I think, I have this stuff  on my computer, friends see this, cursors and walls just jump out at them every time they see this computer. I am honored to watch these folks get better and better every year. I want to say "Thank You" to all for their hard work. Today is one of those days when I found something new and great. Thanks "spil" for all your great cursors. I am enjoying them right now and can't believe I didn't look before this. I will in the future look more closely at everyones stuff, cause now that I know how much I have been missing, I need to look again.

I live here.

Jun 26, 2007 3:58 PM by Discussion: Community

If I get another person who tells me we don't have Alligators or Crocs here in Florida I will pull my hair out, they say, you don't have swamps, you don't have Eagles, rattle snakes, you name it. Look folks if you don't live here and don't google it then please do not argue with me I have lived here over 25 years, had gators at my back door from the pond, big ones. We are tropical here, we have lizards, free flying parrots, and bigger bugs then you can guess. Algae covered trees and swamps. Forrests, beaches ofcouse, but more than most people know.  Flamingos do fly free here. Monkeys are loose here too, Bobcats, foxes, wolves, bear, and racoons, possums, and armadillo. Killer bees too. Spiders that would send northerners back home, yes they are big. I have taken many pictures recently and had them questioned, two were in my computer that were in a download from key west, they turned out not to be mine. Didn't know who downloaded them or how they got in the folder, and we saw this same type of thing in near Key West while hiking in the woods, I have several others but will not post. I go through the woods at Hillborough State Park and now that one came into question so no more posts at this time. I will post on my own site outside wincustomize for now. One was reposted by someone else. I give up. my membership will just be for my own satisfaction and not those who know nothing about Florida and how we live, and what animals, bugs, birds live here. If this seems harsh it's not. I just don't think people know what is here and what isn't. I have seen other items taken off the net and posted here as someones photos, not everything here is a photo taken by the person who posted them, and no credit was given to the person who took the photo. Thanks for looking at my photos anyway.

master skinners charge for their stuff

Jun 17, 2007 1:54 AM by Discussion: Community
O.K. call me a dumb blond again but if you purchase windowblinds you are to be able to download these for the price you pay, however recently I have noticed Master Skinners get to charge for their stuff, who decided this was a good policy? Look I get it they are good but charging more just for master skinner posts. That is like wow I have this really neat wallpaper and it gets 10,000 downloads, wow now I am a master and they should pay me for them. Yes, sure, that would happen. I was emailed by a friend of mine who is has a membership of windowblinds and she asked me this question, well I didn't have an answer so someone please give me one to pass on. Thanks. Maxine

simple explaination on how to zip wallpapers

Jun 12, 2007 3:23 PM by Discussion: Skinning

I guess some of my wallpapers are looking funny when I upload them and I don't know how to zip them in a winzip file. I was told my uploads need to be converted to jpgs. Thought that is what they are when I sent them. Guess thats why some have not made it to my site. http://mschleisner.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx

Thanks to anyone who can give a simple answer to an old woman who loves to take pictures. Thanks
