Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[JT-2]

Oh thank you thank you. I'll try that tomorrow assuming the electricity gets fixed. The lights in my house are dimming and getting brighter, and when they dim the internet goes out. I think we have a ghost. Also my stove doesn't work. Mr. SR thinks they destroyed a few circuits with the big power surge.

Oh dear. And here you probably thought the huge cost would be the biggest problem of getting a new deck.

[JT-2]

don't save as a png! That's probably the largest way to save a file. Save as a gif - go to file>save for web and devices - it will make the smallest file size possible and gives you a choice of how low the quality will go. That way you can get it under the KB limit.

Yes, this is true. My whump secret Santa gifts came to me as png and I had to re-save them as jpegs to get within GW's file size limits.

And then I realized I had made the same mistake with my gifts so I scrambled to try to fix them.

Silly me, and this just adds to it. Though I am hoping the stove is dead for good so I can get a new one as part of my master plan for a new kitchen. Don't tell Mr. SR. Oh, and Mr. SR's computer won't boot up. We're thinking it's just a lack of enough power though. Updates to follow tomorrow.

on the stove and kitchen thing. You are sly like a fox.

Good luck!!

My 16 year old cat, Bo, is going under anesthesia tomorrow to have a bad tooth removed. So I'm going to bed early tonight since we have to be up early tomorrow. (Talk about money.... vet bills. *sigh*)

[drewandian]

JT and SR thank you for struggling too....at least I'm not alone! LOL (and as you can see, I haven't managed to change my sig yet....*sigh*)

Hi Drew! *glomps*

A new oven to cook the cake in!!!

Hope everything turns out okay tomorrow.

My cat meowed in sympathy. Or annoyance that I was neglecting him to post on here. I can never tell the difference. *fingers crossed*

And add on my money woes: I just spent $450 on new tires and an alignment. Good thing I just got an unexpected bonus, huh???

seems every time there's an extra nickle coming in, there's an extra dime needed to be spent

Funny, since PNG always seems to work for me. *shrug*

Casper's in the house.

What was said about FH?

I provided the link, and shall provide it again just this once. I will not post the actual quote here.

If you want to see how I ended up there, go to his entry of May 19, 2009 and check out his post bag of the day in which he answers questions posted to his blog. The one you need is by Recycled Funk.

So the morning report is up. We survived the night only to wake up to find the heat isn't working. No worries, we have a gas fireplace and a space heater. The worst news was that the plug for my coffee pot is out, so I moved it into the dining room. The electrician is expected between 10-2. I'm praying he shows up. This could not be more odd.

Oh, and sorry about the kitty.

Sing it, sister. I'll let you know the bottom line on this little electric repair. Maybe it's a disembodied consciousness in my wires.

[ShipperWriter]

Good morning, Sparkies! I've been awake since 4:30am, when a freak thunderstorm decided to send a lightning bolt right outside my window (at least that's what it felt like) and I've been a little on edge since then.

Hopefully the day will get better from here on out!

Hmm, odd indeed. Hope everything gets resolved!

Ooh, the sequel to GitM???

[Pocus]

SR Good luck with your electric repair. At least you could get your coffee somehow.

And I had a lukewarm shower.

[Pocus]

See now for me that would be the worst thing. I don't do coffee or hot drinks, but my shower is my caffeine!!!!

[Simlead]

I just finished the sequel to my Sparky Easter fic, and here it is:
Fright at First Sight
Kind of the wrong time of year to publish it, but the summary explains it.
