[wg_bent]

Interesting...It showed up on my other computer. But you really couldn't tell what it was.

edit..it was too big...I'll size it down with picasa

 

[Roospike]

I finally found the right size. down to 16% ..........Here ya go brother. Make sure you delete the old Avatar before up loading the new one.

 

[wg_bent]

What do you guys see for my Avatar now? Look o.k.?

 

[suematteva]

looks the same

 

[wg_bent]

Yeah, seems blurry or something. I uploaded the original and Spikes smaller version, both do seem the same.
I think I'll keep it for a while.

 

[suematteva]

It does seem blurry,

maybe just a blow up of elm bark

Was thinking of you 2 weekends ago, I was cutting on a log pile and there were 4 logs of elm 10-14 inch diameter and 8 ft long...made me smile..

 

[Roospike]

I up loaded the small one i posted and this is what it looks like. Does it look blurry to anyone ?

"Honey. Does this avitar make my butt look big?"

No dear , but could you please change it , i dont think it brings out the color in your eyes. ;-) ha.

[Harley]

Looks good now.... the only thing it needs is a big 'ole elm looming in the background

 

[wg_bent]

Hey! That's my avatar...o.k. Spike gets the credit I like that one much better very clear.

 

[wg_bent]

"Honey. Does this avitar make my butt look big?"

Warren,

Curiosity has gotten the best of me. In your signature line you have "Slainte Mhath." Can you enlighten me?

 

[Roospike]

Alright Warren , Now that you seen the avatar working ............I'll go back to mine. ;-P

 

[wg_bent]

Slainte Mhath means literally "Good Health" - slainte translates
vaguely as health, "mhath" is the feminine form of "math" (pron.
"maa"). In Scots Gaelic, we aspirate to make an adjective feminine.
Thus the name "Mairi" (Marie) is given extra feminine emphasis by
aspiration - "Mhairi" (pron. "Varry").

It is a gaelic word, Irish, gaelic
(scottish), and welsh are all related languages.

Pronounce "slainte mhath" "Slanzh'va", and utter it
when someone buys you a drink!

To all you wood burners...I do hope for all of you...Good health...Slainte Mhath

I'm an old fan of the band Marillion and the lead singer Fish. Some very impressive musical work.

The lyrics:


A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado
A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm
Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu
And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far
This is the story so far

Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins
You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two
And when you declare the point of grave creation
They turn round and you to tell them the story so far
This is the story so far

And you listen with a tear in you eye
To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply
Is slinte mhath

Princes in exile raising the standard drambuie
Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns
Holding their own last orders commanding attention
We sit here and listen to all of the story so far
This is the story so far

Take it away
Take it away
Take it away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

From the dream on the barbed wire at flanders and bilston glen
From a clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men
From the realisation that all weve been left behind
Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line

Waiting on the whistle to blow
We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow
They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows
Broken promises but the whistle still blows
Waiting on the wistle to blow
We stand here waiting on the wistle to blow

Damn Warren ........... Are you going to share that case of beer or are you going to drink it all by your self ? %-P
