Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

My feet are widening and lengthening as I age. Depending on the type of shoe, I wear anything from a 15 to a 17, 2E is generally best.

IOW, I'm slowly oozing down into my shoes.

Ok, that was weird...just signed into the King Soopers/Kroger IWG, and it said I won a bag of Cracker Jacks & I didn't even play the game.
I've now won my 2 item max, so guess I'm done with that game. Fine with me....got a 64oz juice & yummy Cracker Jacks...I'm happy!

I looked around for this on SD, but didn't find it. I think it was one of those things someone posted in the Farm.
Could be, as I don't even have a bookmark for it. Or it was a Wildfireapp/Facebook entry - I don't bookmark those, since they don't let you enter more than you're allowed anyways.

I won an Apple card too. Not sure what to do with it yet, but I might get the Apple iPad case with it. Or just use it for some song downloads.

Slow year so far - only $80 in January, not counting the $1500 trip that I'll be turning down if they don't have any substitutions available.

Define "desktop size", as that can cover a pretty wide range.

Weird size on that one, might end up grainy sizing up or down.

It doesn't look too grainy at 1600 pixels wide, but at the same aspect, it's only 629 pixels high. Resizing it to 1200 high (common for 1600x1200 or 1920x1200) makes it 3055 wide, so a LOT of the width would have to be cropped off. Unless you just want black bands top/bottom for icon placement - and if so, equal bands, or thicker on the bottom for Taskbar?

IOW, more details needed.

Just won another $10 Snackdown Cash from Wrigley;s. Off to surf through the prizes to see what I'm going to spend it on. First time, got some earbuds.

Do you want it avatar size? It won't be a perfect 75 x 75 square if you want to keep the aspect ratio, but can still be resized.

I want to put it as a background on my desktop. I have about 200 pictures and I use anywallpaper program to change them every 5 minutes. I couldnt decide which one to use so I use them all!! Big Grin

Yeah, that's a normal widescreen size for a laptop or small desktop display.

Resizing for 1440 wide makes it 566 high - do you want black bands top/bottom as a start to see how it looks?
